My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 143 Echo Each Other

Clare had his press conference set at two o’clock in the afternoon, and it was live video streaming.

Alston turned on the live video and saw the media sitting there ironically.

Lloyd checked all media, and his face turned cold, “They are all in favor of them. Shall we arrange

some of

our people inside, Mr. Smith?”

Alston shook his head, “Clare attached great importance to this reception. It will be in vain for us to

sneak

our men inside. Let’s see their tricks, and then we can respond accordingly.”

There was nothing for Alston to worry about no matter what they said since he was on the moral high

ground. After all, they were the ones who had immoral behaviors.

Cynthia had been keeping a watchful eye on what was going on. She turned on the live video and

waited for

the press conference with Greg and others.

The press conference began in a few minutes. Clare looked successful and sharp in a suit, his

bodyguards

leading the way.

Stella walked behind Clare. The cheap coat on her frail body looked baggy and uncomfortable. Instead

of

wearing expensive makeup and being charming like before, she didn’t use any skin care products and

just put

her hair in a ponytail. Therefore, she looked particularly gaunt and old under the HD camera.

People began to leave comments on the bullet screen.

“Stella looks miserable.”

“She makes me think of my own mother. I can’t help but cry!”

Those comments immediately aroused the sympathy of netizens, and some people began to speak for

Stella.

“Alston’s father is dead. She is entitled to find her own happiness.”

“Yes. The person she loves happens to be her brother-in-law.”

Those comments made Cynthia sick. She tapped on the keyboard quickly to respond.

“How refreshing! I can’t believe you can sugarcoat an immoral love affair like that.”

Many people echoed her remark, while many abused her for being unsympathetic and cold.

Joyce became mad when she saw Cynthia being attacked. She posted a comment quickly, “They are

the ones deprived of humanity. Only animals act like that.”

Cynthia turned her head and glanced at Joyce with a smile. She was impressed by her sharpness.

Clare signaled for the press conference to begin when everyone was settled.

The camera was on Clare and Stella, the leading players.

Stella showed no confidence at all without makeup. She flinched and dodged when the camera was

shooting

her Clare, on the contrary, put up a resolute and stern look at the camera

Cynthia took some popcorn from the table, waiting for their show Mrs Lewis warned her, Mrs. Smith,

please

cut down on popcorn. You may feel awful later

Cynthia smiled embarrassedly and left the rest popcorn to Joyce.

The questioning session began, and the first question was quite mind-blowing.

“Mr. Smith. There are many rumors about you and Ms. Brooks online. Can you certify their

authenticity? What

is Ms. Brooks to you?”

Clare looked over and smiled gently, without any panic, “You just said those are rumors, which means

they

were not true. There is nothing out of the ordinary between Ms. Brooks and me.”

He continued with a sad look, “Since my brother passed away in that car accident, I offered a lot of help

to

my sister-in-law and Alston out of sympathy. My good intention toward them was distorted and

misunderstood by those with vile thoughts. Therefore, they just cooked up the story between Ms.

Brooks and

Alston also held a grudge toward me when he grew up. However, I did nothing wrong. I can honestly

say

that I have been innocent all along. It’s unfair for me to suffer.”

He didn’t put it plainly, but the comment on the bullet screen made it clear, “Perhaps Alston Smith

framed

him. He must have hoped to hold down his uncle’s company since they were commercial rivals all

along.”

“Clare seems like a good man. Look how gentle he is.”

Lloyd stole a secret glance at Alston to see if he was angry while checking on the comments. The latter

was,

surprisingly, calm and smiling!

He followed Alston’s gaze and saw the next comment.

“Clare is no competition to my Alston! My husband is busy. He doesn’t have time for him. Plus, my

Alston is

way more handsome than him!!!”

How sweet of Mrs. Smith to say that. Lloyd thought. Anyone could see this was from Mrs. Smith as she

used

“husband,” my Alston, and extra exclamation marks. No wonder Mr. Smith was so pleased.

At the press conference, Stella nodded, agreeing with what Clare just remarked, “Yes, President Smith

has

helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to him. I felt outraged when I heard those people on the Internet

slandering him. It’s my fault that he’s in trouble.”

Clare sighed and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, “I loved and respected my brother dearly.

You were

his soulmate and his true love. However, things changed after he passed away. Alston became

stubborn and

refused to open his heart to his mother. Misunderstandings arose between him and my sister-in-law. In

the

end, he even kicked out his own mother.”

Stella raised her hand quietly, and the smell of onions in her sleeve instantly made her eyes full of

tears. It was so pungent that she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

The more she rubbed the onion, the more tears streamed down her eyes, making her pitiful and

embarrassed.

The weak could always get sympathy from the public. Alston Smith was cold and harsh, while Stella

Smith

Cast Prud

looked miserable. The public favor immediately turned to Stella’s side.

“It’s not enough just to be rich. You must have good characters too.”

“I’ve always liked Alston since he seems like a decent man. I can’t believe he did such an unspeakable

thing to his mother.”

Cynthia didn’t feel like enjoying her popcorn anymore. She became furious at what those people said

about her husband. Throwing the rest popcorn in her hand into the trash can next to her, Cynthia

pointed at the screen and said, “How preposterous! What do these people know? How could they say

mean things about my Alston?”

“Many people like my Alston. I don’t care if she likes him or not!”

In Cynthia’s heart, Alston was the kindest person in the world. She had never said anything bad about

him.

What made these people so bold to criticize him?

Mrs. Lewis consoled her, “Ignore those keyboard warriors, ma’am. They don’t know anything. All they

can do

is abuse people online. They wouldn’t have dared say anything similar in front of Mr. Smith.”

Cynthia couldn’t help but chuckle a little.

Greg handed her a glass of warm water to help her calm down.

Clare and Stella echoed with each other in front of reporters, looking miserable and sad. Then, a

reporter

began to ask, “President Smith, I heard that Ms. Brooks went to a hotel with you after she left the Smith

family. How do you explain this?”

Cynthia sat down with a cup in her hand and muttered, “Why do people call Alston Mr. Smith but him.

President Smith? He sounds superior to my Alston.”

Greg looked at Clare and smiled sarcastically, “He has always wanted to be superior. Therefore, he

ordered

others to call him President Smith. Despite his failure in competing with us commercially, he could at

least

be superior to Mr. Smith in terms of title.”

“How shrewd!” Cynthia commented, and Greg nodded in agreement, both feeling disgusted.

Clare said, “Ms. Brooks will explain this to you!”

Stella took the microphone and calmed down her emotions, her eyes still red and her voice shaky, “I

didn’t maintain a good relationship with the Brooks family since I was a young girl. Therefore, I had

nowhere to go. when Alston threw me out. I called President Smith for help. He said yes with no

hesitation.”

She paused and glanced at Clare gratefully, “However, I gave it another thought, and I refused his offer.

I’m a widow, and he is my brother-in-law. I can’t just move in with him. People will talk. So, President

Smith booked me a hotel. Unfortunately, I lost something in that hotel, which made me insecure.

President Smith then invited me to stay at another house of his, which is the one I’m currently living.”

Stella’s voice was low, a little guilty, “I didn’t want to live in his house for free. That’s why I tried to work

and

make money to pay rent. However, I haven’t had work for so long, and I couldn’t find any job. Thus, I

changed my habit and tried my best to save trouble for President Smith.”

Her voice froze, her eyes were red again, and she looked extremely pathetic in those shabby clothes.

Clare hurried to answer, “Don’t be so hard on yourself. I can still afford to support another person in my

house. My brother treated you well before. He would be disappointed if he saw you in such a rough

situation.

He was good to me too. I have to return the favor he bestowed on me.

Those sincere words completely changed the public attitude.

Stella was so moved that she looked at the screen with teary eyes, “Alston, I know you hate me for not

caring about you since you were a child. You hate your Uncle Clare for leaving the Smith family long

ago. But I’m begging you. Please stop. He’s your uncle no matter what!”

Clare smiled secretly in a place where the camera could not see and withdrew his smile when the

camera

came to him.

Cynthia was so angry that she slapped the table with a “bang,” “These two echoes each other. What a

good show they put into twisting the fact and confusing people!”
