Amongst the multiple shutter sounds, Zephaniah faced the reporters and public calmly. The corners of his l*ps curved upwards with a questionable smile.
The last time he had stood in front of such a large audience was years ago when Sabrina became the international spokesperson for VL. As for today, he was here for himself; he was going to be reborn.
The time was 3:20pm.
The p**ss conference officially started. H World’s staff maintained order as the reporters were given 15 minutes to ask questions.
Xanthe stepped up on the stage and looked around, “Friends of the media, you have worked hard. In regards to the viral headline regarding H World, we will provide a complete explanation today.”
“H World has gotten to where it is today with its own abilities and hard work. Recently, because of a particular reason, one of our models were unexpectedly supp**ssed. And now, I have been unreasonably dragged into the gossip. I haven’t stepped out to say anything from the start because…”
“…I believe in justice. I also believe that evil will eventually be put to an end.”
As Xanthe spoke, Zephaniah was standing by her side. For a moment he really wanted to ask Xanthe how she could be so shameless to say something like that.
Don’t you feel embarrassed at all?
Xanthe’s words suggested that Emma was behind H World’s crisis. H World had been advancing at a stable rate all along, but with Emma’s appearance…
…H World was surrounded by gossip…
“Following on, please welcome our ex-top-manager, Zephaniah to the stage to explain the recording that’s been in the headlines. I’m sure he will give everyone a satisfactory explanation.”
After speaking, Xanthe took a step back.
However, at this time, one of the reporters suddenly asked, “President Lopez, I roughly understand what you are trying to say. You are trying to suggest, all the gossip H World has experienced lately has a definite relation to your newly signed model, Emma, right?”
Wow…her true intention had been completely seen through.
Everyone looked at the reporter and back at the stunned Xanthe.
They originally thought she would at least deny it and let the situation remain ambiguous. After all, Emma was a model she had personally signed and had even held a grand contract signing ceremony for. If she suddenly started insulting her, wouldn’t it be an embarrassing sight?
But, Xanthe did not explain nor say anything. She simply gave a mysterious smile.
Since everyone already understood her, was it necessary for her to point out the obvious?
A moment later, Xanthe placed her dark gaze on Zephaniah. Apart from dealing with Zephaniah, her motive today was to attack Emma!
While Emma was still overseas and couldn’t retaliate, she was going to catch her off guard.
Did you think that just because you successfully walked the JK show, you’d have a smooth path to success?
There’s no such thing…
Nothing in this world is so easy.
From Xanthe’s reaction, the reporters figured out the motive behind the p**ss conference. It was obvious she wanted to destroy Emma; everyone in the industry had already sensed there was an internal battle happening in H World.
So no matter what Xanthe was to say today, her intention was to defame Emma and push her to her destruction.
“Zephaniah?” Xanthe gestured Zephaniah to speak with a deep and threatening voice.
After hearing Xanthe call his name, Zephaniah nodded before turning to face the reporters…
“Today, I will give everyone an explanation. Regarding the recording sitting at the top of headlines, the truth is…”
“Before I expose this secret, allow me to speak about an unrelated topic,” just as Zephaniah was about to get to the main point, he suddenly changed the topic and smiled at everyone. “I already can’t remember how long I’ve been in this career. From a mere assistant to what I have become today, I can’t recount how many times I’ve had to stand on a stage like this…”
“…and say things that make me feel disgusted.”
“Before I tell everyone the truth, I want to mention a person that everyone has forgotten about: Sabrina.”
The reporters looked at each other. They didn’t understand why Zephaniah was suddenly mentioning Sabrina.
Of course, the person that was looking the most uncomfortable was Xanthe…
She suddenly realized how out of control Zephaniah was. She was feeling a bit worried.
“As everyone is aware, Sabrina passed away because of a car accident. On that day, we had a huge argument before Sabrina sped out onto the road and eventually hit a barrier. She died on site and I was seriously injured.”
“At that time, H World completely covered up the situation…”
“…and I was naive enough to think they were doing it for my own good. But, only now do I know, they covered up the situation…because of guilt.”
“Zephaniah, do you know what you are saying?” Xanthe suddenly asked as she grabbed Zephaniah’s arm.
Zephaniah let out a gentle laugh and lowered his voice, “Didn’t you want me to tell the truth? I will do as you say, don’t be impatient.”
After speaking, he pulled himself away from Xanthe’s grip and continued, “They felt guilty because Sabrina’s death was their doing. Firstly, our dearest President Lopez secretly stalked Sabrina and I to obtain evidence. Afterwards, my two friends, Holden and Ariadne, exposed the evidence to the media. Finally, the car accident happened…”
“Doesn’t that all sound exciting?”
The reporters obviously did not expect Zephaniah to say such words – they didn’t expect him to expose something that had happened so long ago.
Xanthe suddenly realized Zephaniah’s motive for appearing on stage and immediately ordered Holden to call for people to remove him from the stage. But, Zephaniah continued to speak.
“Do you all know what the reason was? It was because of envy…”
“It was because of her envy towards her own models that she thought of multiple ways to control them. Years ago, it was Sabrina, and now it is Emma.”
“Sabrina’s incident happened a long time ago; so long that I almost forgot about Xanthe’s methods. But…the recording in the headlines is the best evidence. Because it is completely real.”
“I still have the original recording in my phone.”
Holden approached the stage with security. They wanted to remove Zephaniah from the scene, even if they had to resort to violence. In front of the reporters, they punched and kicked him. However, Zephaniah couldn’t be hurt easily, so…
…Holden called for more people.
At this time, Xanthe calmly announced that the p**ss conference was over. But…
…just as everyone nervously watched the scene before them, a tall figure appeared at H World’s entrance.
It was a person that was meant to be in London…
