Chapter 1179: The Press Conference with a Twist
Click——
Just as everyone was engrossed in listening, Bob suddenly turned off the recorder and said expressionlessly, "The purpose of this press conference today is not to expose my affair with the young mistress, but to tell everyone that my relationship with the young mistress is completely innocent. The reason why these things happened is because someone was behind it all!"
Bob's words caused things to take a sharp turn for the worse. After a moment of uproar, the journalists' instincts told them that even more explosive news was about to be released!
However, the female voice in the recording sounded very familiar. Who is she? Why does she have such a deep grudge against Lin Yuqing?
Just as everyone was racking their brains trying to figure it out, Bob suddenly pointed to the door and said sternly, "All of this happened today because of that woman Joanna!"
The venue fell silent for a moment, then everyone became excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, turning their cameras to face the entrance, where, sure enough, stood a beautiful figure!
As Joanna listened to the recording, she sensed something was wrong and got up to slip away. But before she could, Bob cut off the recording and turned everyone's attention to her.
Joanna reached out and grabbed the handrail, wanting nothing more than to escape, but the door was locked, and no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't budge.
Damn it, who locked this door?!
Just as Joanna was cursing, the reporters behind her caught up and surrounded her with microphones.
"Miss Joanna, is this really related to you?"
"Why did you frame Lin Yuqing? Is it simply because you've fallen for Xiao Mingyang?"
"Miss Joanna, don't you feel any remorse for framing innocent people?"
Joanna whirled around and yelled, "Enough! All of you, get out of my way!"
Joanna's disgraceful behavior was thus exposed to the public, broadcast live globally on several cameras. It's fair to say that Joanna's image was completely ruined this time.
This unexpected turn of events thrilled the reporters; such a dramatic twist really grabbed their attention!
Joanna's face turned deathly pale. She knew she had been set up today. She stared fiercely at Bob, who was expressionless on the stage, wishing she could kill him right then and there!
Taking a deep breath, Joanna straightened her back and said coldly, "Recordings can be faked. What makes you think that person is me?"
“Recordings can be faked, but what about photos?” Bob said, pulling out several photos of him meeting Joanna.
Looking at Joanna smugly, Bob said, "Now you can't deny it anymore!"
Joanna's nails clenched tightly in her palms, her voice chilling to the bone as she hissed in hatred, "Bob, how dare you scheme against me!"
"If you hadn't harbored malicious intentions to scheme against the young mistress, why would I have gone along with your plan and lured you, the mastermind, out of the picture?!"
Joanna was trembling all over, her stubbornness preventing her from showing weakness. She shouted, "These are just physical evidence; they can't convict me!"
"Miss Joanna needs witnesses. I wonder if a private investigator and a magazine editor would count?"
Accompanied by a deep male voice, the door was suddenly flung open, and a tall, imposing figure appeared against the light. Everyone stared intently and discovered that it was Xiao Mingyang! Behind Xiao Mingyang stood two other people, looking dejected and shifty-eyed, their demeanor like rats in the street.
Joanna's last shred of reason crumbled, and she leaned against the doorpost, her lips trembling.
As Joanna slowly approached Xiao Mingyang, she felt all the blood rush to her head. Grabbing Xiao Mingyang's collar, she questioned him in a trembling voice, "Xiao Mingyang, is it really worth going to such lengths to protect that useless woman, Lin Yuqing?!"
Looking at Joanna with an indifferent expression, Xiao Mingyang calmly said, "She is the woman I love most in my life, of course I will protect her from being humiliated. As for you... I am not interested in you. Please have some self-respect and don't cause any more trouble for me or my family!"
Xiao Mingyang's words were like a knife, slashing Joanna's self-esteem beyond recognition. Even if she was cunning, she was still just a girl driven mad by love, and being publicly humiliated by the person she admired would still make her feel sad and heartbroken.
Through the screen, Lin Yuqing saw Joanna covering her mouth and sobbing uncontrollably. She couldn't help but sigh and murmur, "She must be heartbroken."
Zhang Kaifeng was drinking cola and watching TV when he heard Lin Yuqing's words. He turned to look at her and asked, "What, do you feel sorry for her?"
Lin Yuqing shook her head and said, "She hurt me and my family, so it's only right that she be punished. But I feel that we are also involved in how things have turned out this way, and in a sense, we are accomplices as well."
After finishing the last sip of his cola, Zhang Kaifeng said nonchalantly, "It's all her own fault. What does it have to do with us? If Joanna hadn't tried to scheme against you, none of this would have happened."
Seeing Lin Yuqing still looking dejected, Zhang Kaifeng tossed the Coke can into the trash can and then kindly reminded her, "Alright, let's go pick up Xiao Mingyang. If we're any later, he'll be surrounded by those annoying reporters. You know your husband's temper; when he's annoyed, he's capable of anything!"
"That's true, let's hurry up and go!"
The car pulled up to the hotel's back entrance and stopped right in front of Xiao Mingyang and Bob. Zhang Kaifeng rolled down the window, waved to the two men, and said with a smile, "You did a fantastic job today! Get in the car, let's go have a celebration party!"
Xiao Mingyang ignored Zhang Kaifeng, opened the car door and sat in the back seat. Looking at Lin Yuqing beside him, he smiled warmly and said, "Yuqing, everything is alright now!"
Taking Xiao Mingyang's hand, Lin Yuqing said, "I was so worried about you just now. Luckily, everything went smoothly. I hope things can come to an end."
Turning back to Lin Yuqing with a smile, Bob said smugly, "Don't worry, Madam, Joanna is a nobody now, she can't make a ripple!"
Looking at Bob with gratitude, Lin Yuqing said sincerely, "Thank you, Bob!"
“I should be thanking you and young master. If it weren’t for your trust in me, I would have suffered a terrible fate,” Bob said, brimming with a sense of justice. “A ruthless woman like Joanna, no matter how beautiful, will only annoy people. Unlike our young mistress, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, she is a true lady of high society!”
Feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, Lin Yuqing glanced at Xiao Mingyang and said, "Mingyang was the one who had foresight this time and laid out the plan in advance, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
