"A series of events occurred in the Tierney family over the course of the past few days. I feel that there is a need for me to give the public an explanation." Chelsea faced the cameras and said nonchalantly, "After my father was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer five years ago, he has spent this entire time fighting the disease. His body had long since failed on him, and he had been depending on medication to continue his life. Unfortunately, on the day of my wedding, he passed away."
"Miss Tierney, we're more interested in what happened at your wedding with Elliot Foster." One of the reporters brought up this sharp question.
Very quickly, another reporter also asked," Why didn’t Elliot Foster show up on your wedding day, Miss Tierney? Will you be holding a makeup wedding after this?"
Chelsea had already expected that these questions would pop up during the press conference.
"I will not. Elliot Foster and I will not be getting married," Chelsea said. "I'm thankful for his cooperation during our little act. This was all forced onto me by my brother, Charlie Tierney. He wanted the family fortune for himself to the point that he wanted to murder me. If Mr. Foster had not given me a helping hand, I would already be dead by my brother's hands by now."
A wave of sighs from the reporters offstage followed her explanation.
"After my father was diagnosed with cancer, my brother forced him out of his seat. He had always made it seem like my father favored sons over daughters, but my father favored me the most. It was a shame that my father's condition continued to deteriorate as the days went by and could not protect me," Chelsea continued.
"Miss Tierney, your relationship with your brother seemed very good before your disfigurement. Were you staying at his apartment on the night of the fire?" asked one of the reporters.
"I told you that was before my disfigurement. All the men I knew were nice to be before I was disfigured." At this point, Chelsea tried her best to suppress her heartache. "That's all in the past. I will be leading Trust Capital from now on onto an even more glorious future."
After the press conference came to an end, Chelsea got into the car ?g";RJR= took off her mask.
She reached up and stroked the scars on her face.
It felt like she had achieved everything, but at the same time, nothing at all.
Even now that she had Trust Capital and all the money in the world, this was not the life she wanted to live!
Elliot did not show up at the Sterling Group offices that day.
Chad called Mrs. Scarlet to ask about him, and was told that Elliot had gotten up early that morning and was now resting at home.
Chad could not help but laugh.
