Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 718

“Miss Jessica, after hearing what Miss Reed said, can you justify your actions?” one reporter asked. “Miss Jessica, did you know that your father had sold his shares a long time ago?” Jessica couldn’t tolerate the never-ending questions that were thrown in her direction, so she pressed her palms against her ears as she scrunched up her face. “That’s enough! Shut up! Everyone shut up!” She began to scream like a madwoman. The crowd and the live stream viewers let out sympathetic sighs when they saw her that way. Perhaps they assumed that she was raging out of shame.

Sonia lowered her gaze to give Jessica a cold glare while Jessica thrashed and raged on the ground. Sonia smirked. “Let me answer on behalf of her since she doesn’t want to do it. She was aware that Dad had sold the Reed Family’s shares, and she was aware that the shares I own have got nothing to do with her. The reason she started all those rumors about me online was because she couldn’t get what I have. That was why she claimed that I was an illegitimate daughter who had bullied her when we were young—she wanted to use the power of the media and netizens to force me to hand her some shares.” ‘Sheesh. That’s so horrible,’ someone commented. ‘Exactly! This is my first time encountering someone who’s so disgusting,’ another one replied. ‘I knew Miss Jessica wasn’t as innocent as she seemed to be. I was right! I can’t believe she tricked all of us netizens to side with her, and I can’t believe I spoke up for her. F*ck...’

While all the netizens raged over the incident online, the reporters on the site looked as if they wanted to tear Jessica into pieces. The paparazzi and the media had always been the ones who would stir rumors and gain benefits from others’ pain, but Jessica seemed to be the one who was doing their job this time. They refused to forgive this woman so easily.

“I’m glad that Miss Reed stopped Miss Jessica’s evil plan from happening,” one reporter uttered in an attempt to flatter Sonia.

Sonia responded with a polite smile. “You’re right. However, I don’t think she could’ve succeeded from the start. She thought that I didn’t have proof of my identity as an adopted child, and she thought that I couldn’t prove that I had never bullied her as a child. That was why she was so certain that I wouldn’t be able to speak up for myself, and that was why she thought I’d crumble under societal pressure to hand her the shares.” “Miss Reed, are you saying that you can prove that you’ve never bullied Miss Jessica as a child?” The reporters stared at Sonia with stunned expressions. Jessica, who had been sitting on the ground, threw her head up as she screamed. “How is that possible?! How could you have proof of our childhood days?”

“Of course I do!” Sonia’s smile seemed to demolish the last bit of Jessica’s pride and ego. While Jessica stared at the flawless smile on Sonia’s face, she felt as if she were looking into the face of the devil. “You...” Jessica’s lips were trembling. Sonia wasn’t interested in having a conversation with Jessica and simply turned sideways to look at the man beside her.

Toby opened the box in front of him and pulled a USB drive out before handing it to Daphne. Sonia had been holding the box at first, but Toby had offered to help her carry it as he didn’t want her to tire herself out. That was why the box was with him.

Daphne had previously heard Sonia talking about the CCTV cameras, so she understood that the footage was stored in the USB that Toby had just handed her. Without saying anything, Daphne hurried over to the computer that was connected to the large projector. Everyone watched as Toby handed the USB over to Daphne.

When Jessica saw the USB, she felt intense fear consuming her entire being. She had already felt cold and shaky to begin with, but she was practically numb with fear after she saw the USB. She had no idea what sort of evidence the USB contained, but she knew that she was about to be thoroughly destroyed.

Meanwhile, Asher, who had been sipping on his tea and trying his best to remain invisible throughout the press conference, realized that Jessica was about to be defeated. He lowered his teacup before giving Jessica a deadly glare. She's such a good-for-nothing'. I was hoping that she might have some skills, but now I know... Once brainless, always brainless. I got excited for no reason!

Sonia didn’t care about what the reporters and staff members thought —she simply held her microphone up before parting her red lips to speak. “This USB consists of more than ten video clips showing CCTV camera footage of Jessica and me as children. Bullying is seen in the footage, but it was Jessica who bullied me, and not the other way round. Both Jessica and her mother bullied me together.”
