Faced with the reporters’ relentless criticism, Josephine’s mother finally could not take it anymore. She blew up in
their faces and started cursing while hysterically headbutting the reporters blocking her way.
After breaking through the crowd, she ran up the stage from the left to grab Josephine before running off the stage
from the right to make their escape.
Seeing this, some of the reporters started chasing after them while the rest stayed behind to interview Corinne.
“Miss Corinne, they’ve escaped. Do you have any plans to sue them?”
“You should sue them! Make them pay for spreading all those rumors about you.”
“And you should request a public apology too! Not to mention compensation for reputational damage.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne remained seated at her table with one elbow propping up her face. “Forget it. They’re just pawns in
someone else’s game. Plus, where are they going to find the money to compensate me for my reputational
damage? You see, there’s no need to waste my time on suing them.”
A reporter understood what Corinne was implying. “Miss Corinne, are you saying someone else instigated Josephine
and her mother to slander you online? Who could that be? Do you have an enemy?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You’ve been working in the field of journalism long enough, so you should all know
that the instigator’s ultimate aim isn’t to malign me. Think about it: Who has suffered the most loss in this matter?”
Realization suddenly dawned on the reporters.
“The answer’s gotta be Holden Group!”
“You’re right! Holden Group suffered the most loss. Their share price has been dropping like crazy.”
“Does that mean Holden Group’s competitors were the instigator behind this?”
Corinne smiled. Her silence said it all.
She knew very well Anya was the real mastermind behind the whole thing, and Holden Group was just collateral
damage. Thus, she made it seem like this was all done by Holden Group’s competitor to make use of the reporters’
guilty conscience so they would quickly clear up the misunderstanding surrounding Holden Group.
The power of the media should not be underestimated. They had a wider reach and better credibility than if
Corinne or Jeremy were to come out with their own statements to refute the rumors swirling around.
At that moment, another reporter stepped forward while his colleague, the cameraman, aimed the video camera
at her. “Miss Corinne, is it true what the rumor says? That you and Mister Jeremy of Holden Group are in a
relationship?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne was about to answer the question when her phone suddenly rang. She fished it out of her pocket and saw it
was Jeremy calling her.
After picking up the call, she heard Jeremy’s stern voice ordering her, “Don’t say anything about us to the
reporters. Come here now. I’m parked behind the hill in the park.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. Given the timing of Jeremy’s call, she heavily suspected he was worried she would
disclose their relationship to the reporters. Although she had no intention to give the reporter a straight answer, she
could not help but feel sore about it.
After a brief moment of silence, she finally asked, “Why are you still at the park? Didn’t you say you’re going off to
work?”
“I was worried about you. Come back to the car now. The test’s over.”
