Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 529

Molly sat in the villa, and cried her heart out.

Her eyes had become swollen and sour.

She sat on the sofa and tearfully looked outside- it was drizzling and gloomy, just like her mood. She was so sad that even her fluorite had turned dark green.

"According to Mr. Jason of the Grand Night Casino, Mr. Brian Long will hold the press conference at three p.m. at the Sophia Hotel today. This rare decision from Mr. Brian Long is believed to be the result of the postings in Crazy Website this morning. "

The entertainment news channel reporter broadcasted. Molly wasn't paying much attention to the TV at first, but when she heard the words Crazy Website, she immediately turned towards the TV. The headlines read, 'Mr. Brian Long holding press conference at three p.m. at the Sophia Hotel'. The news caught her by surprise; she forgot to even cry for a moment.

Molly frantically checked the time - it was almost three o'clock. Judging by the cameras, the journalists, and the name tags on the scene, she guessed that the channel must be live streaming the conference.

Molly's head went blank. All she could hear was the tick-tock of the clock as it approached three o' clock. The clock soon struck three and after Jason had maintained order in the conference hall, Brian made the entrance. He had one hand in his pocket and sat down at the center of the conference table.

His presence provoked a string of camera shutters to go wild. This was Brian's first public appearance. As he was such a mysterious figure, even a picture of Brian was enough to send their sales through the roof. All of the reporters were clear on that.

Amid all those flashes and clatter, Brian just sat there, calm and collected. After a while, he raised his brows and glanced around with his piercing eyes. Instantly the previously excited journalists froze- Brian's eyes were too cruel and intimidating.

"I arranged this press conference," Brian announced, "to make something very clear. It's about Spark and Molly."

Brian paused and everyone held their breath, while they waited for what was coming next. Even Tony and Jason frowned and stared at Brian with concern.

"Molly is not the third wheel. I am."

His words rocked the waters as the scene turned messy in the conference hall.

Tony clenched his fists in rage. He was known for his poise, but it was different this time. He hurried to Brian and tried to block the cameras and the media.

But Jason pulled Tony back and murmured, "This is Brian's decision."

Tony gnashed his teeth and answered furiously, "Mr. Brian Long is a prideful man. How could he sacrifice so much for that woman?"

Jason frowned and turned his eyes to Brian. He remained detached, but Jason could feel his determination. "Brian knows what he is doing. Whether Molly is worth it or not, as long as he thinks she is worthwhile, then it is worth his efforts," Jason persuaded Tony.

Tony angrily tightened his fists, then sat down, his eyes still on Brian. But eventually he was too heartbroken to even look at Brian and turned his head away.

At that same time, Molly was also staring at the TV in disbelief.

She was astonished and confused that everything else seemed less important.

'Why would he say that?' Molly's mind was cluttered and messy.

She tried to stop watching the news, but she just couldn't turn her eyes away from the screen.

At the hospital, Spark had a desperate and miserable smile on his lips. Over the past few days, he had constantly lied to himself, saying that it didn't matter that Brian and Mol had a past because he didn't love Molly; he just wanted to conquer her. That was all. And one day, he would be tired of her. They were only together for Mark. And as far as Spark was concerned, it was enough for him if Mol cherished him in her heart. But now, it seemed that the truth was not what he had thought.

Manny was even more startled. He stammered, "Is that... Is that Mr. Brian Long?"

At the City Council, Edgar was also focused on the screen. The press conference continued, but his attention was not on the TV anymore. His eyes were ruthless and bloody.

"Mayor," Bill said cautiously. He had just identified Molly's whereabouts, and then came these posts all of a sudden. With no time to deal with these issues, now the Mayor had to watch Brian's press conference. And Brian was such a big shot that if he said Molly was his, no one else would dare stir up any trouble.
