"We can't do anything now that Matthew has already held that conference," Reid said to Saoirse.
Saoirse bit her lip. "Mr. Perry, please help me to hold another press conference. I won't allow William to be hurt, I will tell them the truth that Selina clearly knew about the existence of William's wife," she decided.
Reid was stunned when he heard about Saoirse's decision.
If she really went through with that, all he had achieved would go down the drain.
Reid immediately stood up.
He took a threatening step towards Saoirse. "Listen to me Miss Welmert, you absolutely cannot do that!" he snarled.
Saoirse was shocked as this was the first time Reid had treated her this way.
She came to herself after a while.
"Why can't I do that? Don't you know what would happen to William because of that conference?" Saoirse questioned him.
Reid's voice was cold, "Miss Welmert, I only know that if you hold a press conference, you would be pushing my brother towards that woman."
Saoirse was appalled.
Reid raised his voice, "Do you know why my brother held that press conference? He did that to protect that woman! If you hold another press conference, you would only be helping that woman indirectly. Miss Welmert, how could you think of such a stupid idea?"
Saoirse was left speechless.
Reid knew that she was wavering.
He softened his tone, "Miss Welmert, yes, my brother is facing a crisis now, but not all hope is lost. Maybe only through this, he will realize that being with you is the best decision he can make," he persuaded her gently.
"But now William is facing so much criticism," Saoirse said painfully.
"Yes." Reid stared into Saoirse's eyes. "His public image is completely ruined, his company's market value is plummeting, and no other company would dare to cooperate with Perry Group, all these will completely destroy him," he listed out.
Saoirse's face paled.
Reid continued, "No man can handle this kind of consequences. When my brother has completely hit rock bottom, it's your turn to step in and help him. You can change the public opinion on him on the condition that he be with you. Isn't this the perfect plan?"
Saoirse's eyes widened.
Reid lowered his voice, "Miss Welmert, it's not easy to change the mind of a man, you must be ruthless and decisive to secure your victory. Trust me, sooner or later, my brother will be yours."
Lothar arrived at the Whitlock family home.
He accidentally bumped into someone when he rushed into the living room.
Lothar only felt something soft.
He hurriedly looked up. "I'm sorry," he apologised.
He had collided with Bowie.
The softness he felt was in fact, Bowie's breasts. She was about to lose her temper but was taken aback when she saw his face.
It was a handsome man.
Although he was not as handsome as Tobias, his looks were definitely above average.
Especially when he was covered in sweat, probably due to his running, he let off a strong wave of male pheromones.
Not to mention, he had an amazing figure, which could be felt through his clothing.
Bowie's heart skipped a beat.
Natalie walked up to Lothar when she saw him in the living room.
"Lothar," she greeted him.
She had asked the servants to open the gate for Lothar when he called her after arriving at the villa.
Lothar hesitated for a moment.
"Are you Selina's sister-in-law?" he asked.
Natalie nodded.
Lothar immediately took a towards her. "How is Selina?" he asked worriedly.
"Please wait a moment," Natalie said, "I have to inform Matthew first, if he is fine with this, you can then come up and see Selina."
Lothar could only wait anxiously.
Natalie made her way upstairs.
Bowie followed after her quickly.
