Chapter 67 A Press Conference
Jennie came to Jazmine early the next morning. As soon as she saw Jazmine, she asked the latter about
Yoselin.
On Christmas Eve, Giancarlo took Yoselin to the hospital and spent a whole night with her there. Later, the shocking news that
Yoselin was pregnant became in the air.
As Jazmine’s friend, Jennie hated Yoselin so much that she kept cursing Yoselin.
Unlike Jennie, Jazmine herself was calm, and she sat next to Jennie. She had thought a lot last night. She knew clearly what she
wanted.
She said to Jennie in a gentle voice, “Jennie, Yoselin will be Giancarlo’s wife sooner or later. It’s what he wishes. I can’t go
against him.
“He thought Yoselin couldn’t get pregnant and asked me to give birth to a child to compensate her. That’s why he hasn’t divorced
me yet. Now, she is pregnant. It’s good news for me.”
“You are too passive. You are Giancarlo’s legal spouse. As long as you don’t divorce him, Yoselin will be a mistress for the rest of
her life.” Jennie didn’t agree with Jazmine.
Jazmine continued, “Jennie, as you know, Giancarlo doesn’t love me. What’s more, he destroyed my family. I can’t stay married
to him any longer. I feel guilty about my father at the thought that my unborn baby will call Giancarlo his or her father in the
future. Now, Yoselin is pregnant. It will distract him...”
Jennie understood what Jazmine implied.
She stared at Jazmine for a long time before she sighed in frustration, “I don’t know how long I can hide your mom. If Giancarlo
wants to find her, he can do so in less than a day.”
“Let me think about it again.” Jazmine did not want to put Jennie in trouble, nor did she want to abandon her
mother.
She fell into a dilemma..
She hadn’t made up her mind to leave. Besides, she had to make it clear what she needed to do and how she prevented
Giancarlo from finding her if she decided to leave.
Due to the news related to Giancarlo, the stock prices of the Tapia Group had been plummeting all morning.
All the shareholders of the Tapia Group were furious, especially Aaron, who was also at the helm of the
group.
clarified the relationship between Yoselin and Giancarlo and announced that she was pregnant at a press conference, she could
help him save the Tapia Group.
Jazmine didn’t care if the Tapia Group could get the crisis through at all.
However, Aaron used the Gardner Group as an exchange.
Jazmine was unable to refuse.
The press conference was held in the afternoon.
Aaron had asked his people to prepare a script. According to him, all the journalists would ask questions based on the script. As
long as she memorized it, there would be no problems.
At the press conference, Jazmine, who was thin, sat straight on the stage. She tried hard to gather her courage to face the
flashing lights. She clenched her fists tightly.
She used the pain to stabilize her emotions, forcing herself to bear it for the Gardner Group and the freedom
of her unborn baby.
“Mrs. Tapia, are you planning to clarify Ms. Larsen’s identity at the press conference?”
Jazmine was flustered at the first question as it was not on the script.
After a while, Jazmine calmed herself down. “Thanks for your question. Ms. Larsen has always been a good friend of my
husband. There is nothing to clarify about this. I held the press conference just to introduce another member of our family to
everyone.”
The journalists were confused by her words. Didn’t she say that Yoselin and Giancarlo were only friends? Then, what did she
refer the other family member to?
They found the loophole in Jazmine’s words and asked her many irrelevant questions.
“Mrs. Tapia, Mr. Tapia has been staying with Ms. Larsen. Are you not angry at all?”
“Mrs. Tapia, is the new family member you mentioned the child in Ms. Larsen’s belly?”
“Mrs. Tapia, you are in such a hurry to hold a press conference because of Ms. Larsen’s pregnancy, right?”
“Mrs. Tapia...”
Jazmine got overwhelmed. She had been living a happy life before she got married. Even though she experienced a lot after
marrying Giancarlo, she did not need to face so many malicious attacks.
It seemed that she was surrounded by lots of people who wanted to hurt her. She instantly panicked.
She subconsciously looked around, hoping that she could find anyone to help her.
Then, she fell into despair.
“Mrs. Tapia, please answer our questions.”
Jazmine couldn’t stand it anymore and growled, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m pregnant, and the Tapia family is
about to have a new member. Isn’t that good news? I hope that you guys can feel happy
about it as well. Why do you keep mentioning Ms. Larsen in front of me? She’s just a confidante of my
husband.”
Jazmine meant that Yoselin was just a friend of Giancarlo, but everyone else knew that was not the case. There were murmurs
from the journalists as soon as Jazmine finished speaking.
The journalists found it a good chance to make big news and became increasingly excited. “Mrs. Tapia, do you imply that Mr.
Tapia has a special relationship with Ms. Larsen?”Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Mrs. Tapia, don’t you mind it at all? It is said that Ms. Larsen is also pregnant with Mr. Tapia’s child.”
She had thought that she could deal with the conference. However, she underestimated herself. She felt more
and more embarrassed.
She felt as if she was a naked woman standing under the spotlight. Being laughed at, she could hardly breathe
anymore.
She could not hear what the journalists asked clearly.
Her belly seemed to hurt.
She thought, my baby, are you sad because of the insults from those people? I’m sorry. I’m too useless to
protect you.
Let’s go home.
“Mrs. Tapia, stop.”
It was chaos as many journalists ran up to the stage. Some of them reached out to pull Jazmine by her arm
and almost made her fall.
“Stay away from me.”
Jazmine was helpless.
A vicious voice sounded in the ear, “Your baby shouldn’t be born.”
Then, she was forcefully pushed out.
Her mind was full of the horror that she was about to fall to the ground. Surprisingly, she was in a warm
embrace the next moment. She quickly raised her head and saw David’s smile.
Jazmine’s eyes became watery.
David shouted to the journalists, “If you dare to rush up again, I won’t let you off easily.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several bodyguards ran over from outside to keep order.
Jazmine had been holding her nerve. As she was finally safe, she felt relieved and had a blackout instantly.
Before she passed out, Jazmine heard Aaron’s exasperated voice.
“David, let go of Jazmine. How could you...”
Jazmine fainted before she could hear the whole sentence.
