Chapter 228
"Screech-"
The downed glass bottle shattered to pieces and Amelia thought she was safe, but her expression changed when
she smelled the yellow oily substance coming out of the bottle. That was sulfuric acid! "It stinks! Who threw this
thing?" The pungent smell of sulfuric acid made the surrounding security guards frown.
Amelia looked up in the direction of the acid being thrown, only to see a petite figure quickly pull the brim of her
hat down and turn to flee the scene as fast as she could as she caught sight of her. Amelia froze, and if she was
right about the person who hit her with the glass bottle, it was...
"Are you okay, Miss Ramsay?" One of the security guards asked with concern.
"Thank you, the bottle didn't hit me."
If she showed any sign of fear at this point, she'd be accused of being a guilty conscience, so instead of that,
why didn't she just face everyone openly? She had to prove she's above board!
After gaining confidence, Amelia ignored the staring behind her and stalked towards the front door.
Amelia was dutifully escorted by security to the conference hall by elevator.
As soon as the elevator door opened, the first thing that cinto sight of Amelia was Milton's handsface,
which looked somewhat evil.
Scanning her slender figure in the gorgeous gown, Milton was surprised, "You're so much prettier than today's
starlets, it looks like you're here to walk the red carpet!"
"Are you kidding me?" Amelia was lively when she met Milton: "By the way, remember to tell Aunt Sierra that
you're coming to my house for dinner tonight so Aunt Sierra doesn't have to prepare your dinner." "What?" Milton
thought he misunderstands what she said.
By the tMilton reacted, Amelia had already passed him by and he had to hold his tongue until the
presentation was over.
In the serious conference room, the medias focused all their cameras on Amelia the second she entered.
Amelia glanced at the crowd and sat quietly in the seat which officially assigned for her.
Shortly after, Shawn was wearing a pair of sunglasses and followed Ursula to Amelia's left and sat down.
The two of them greeted each other as they normally did, not showing a single bit of alienation over the gossip

As Shawn's manager, Ursula has an eye forjudging people, and he looked at Amelia much differently now than
he did before.
As to why? A woman who could get Patrick to make a careful plan and executed it quickly is not an easy
feat.
From the scandalous photo to the press conference, all in less than 48 hours, Patrick handled things faster than
the police could solve a crime! He got everything in order, even the Facebook comments were controlled with
bots.
All of these things required connections and money to assist, and the quicker public opinion calmed down, the
more it proved Patrick's efficiency and, crucially, his willingness to spend money on Amelia! "Are you nervous?"
Shawn took off his sunglasses and asked Amelia with a sidelong glance.
Amelia's expression maintained its composure in the face of so many cameras: "I'm fine."
Shawn looked at her and asked confusedly, "Why do I think you are familiar with this kind of scene?"
Amelia smiled slightly, George would always take her to social functions when she was young, so she had been
trained since she was a child. She had met all the most powerful people in Northville, surely she wasn't afraid of
these cameras.
It took nearly another half hour before Patrick, who is the boss of Roxxon and the mastermind behind this launch,
made his slow entrance.
His presence caused a stir, Shawn was a superstar but Patrick was different, he was a top man in the financial
world, he was the subject of all the media reporters who were eager to interview him. Even Shawn was a star in
the entertainment industry, but actually, he was of lower status compared to Patrick Amelia looked at Patrick's
unassuming, well-dressed look, and it was hard to associate him with the mar who occasionally threw a little
tantrum and flirted with her verbally.
Sensing the sight from her, Patrick cast a glance at her, the deep aggression beneath his calm eyes causing
Amelia to tense up remembering what she had promised him before. She had to wear lingerie tonight.
Her face grew red with shyness.
Shawn sat next to her and he observed her subtle changes, "Are you feeling ill?"
"What?" Amelia was suddenly regaining her senses at the sound of Shawn's voice, took a sip of water from the
glass in front of her and said after she calmed down, "Maybe it's just too stuffy in here." "Really?" Shawn
wondered, it was fall and people were usually cold at this tof year, but Amelia actually felt stuffy?
After seeing Shawn talk to Amelia, Patrick frowned slightly.
As the organizer of the press conference, Milton cto the stage as the host after all the guests arrived.
Three stereo microphones were erected in front of him to ensure that everyone in the room could hear him:
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcto this conference."
Then the reporters kept pressing the shutter button of their cameras, "click...click..." whitening Milton's face with
the flash.

Taking a deep breath, Amelia stood up from her seat, but there seemed to be something wrong with her high
heels, which made her a little tilt.
She braced her hand on the table in front of her in tto steady herself, then made her way to the stage
without incident.

Fortunately, she climbed those several steps safely and the imagined embarrassment did not occur.
The press conference lasted for nearly two hours, and after Milton thanked the guests again. The reporters had
received a lot of information, started to exit the conference room in an orderly manner.
