At the press conference.
There was a long table on the stage, with Victoria sitting in the middle, Mabel sitting on her right, and Carl sitting on her left.
Unable to avoid it, Victoria's incident has become too big. As an artist of Imperial Style Entertainment, Carl Carter, the general manager of Imperial Style Entertainment, must come to the scene.
From yesterday until now, a day and a night have passed.
Under the malicious instigation of Trent, Victoria was labeled with titles such as "heartlessly pushing down her biological mother," "unfilial child," and even "abusing her own mother."
Victoria's identity as SG had only been made public for two days, and this kind of negative news was more likely to attract the attention of the public.
Many media outlets and marketing accounts expressed their opinions on this matter--
"A slap does not sound alone! Victoria cutting ties with the Montgomery family doesn't seem to be the Montgomery family's fault!"
"Even if Victoria is the famous SG, does that give her the right to mistreat her own biological mother? Such a person is unworthy! Not deserving of public admiration!"
"Victoria, you are not worthy of being a child! You owe your mother an apology!"
These highly provocative headlines filled the entire internet.
In addition, Trent sent out trolls, using the kindness and filial piety of the netizens to manipulate the truth. The netizens didn't know the truth, and for a while, they were furious, brandishing keyboards to condemn Victoria, demanding an explanation from her.
At this moment, the media reporters at the press conference were all excitedly staring at Victoria on stage.
This Victoria truly deserves to be the queen of headlines.
Anything related to her was big news, making headlines!
Before Mabel could announce the start of the press conference, a reporter couldn't help but ask loudly,
"Victoria, filial piety is the most basic quality of a person. How do you justify your actions?! Bella said in an interview that you were abandoned since childhood, but as a mother, she never gave up searching for you..."
"This good mother personally brought you back to the Montgomery family, but you treated her so heartlessly, and you pushed her down ruthlessly. Victoria, is this how you repay kindness?"
"Also, you've been criticized by netizens online for a whole day and night, yet you attend the press conference looking as radiant as ever. There's not a trace of weariness or remorse on your face. It seems like you don't think you did anything wrong, is that right!"
Mabel frowned, not expecting the reporters to throw out such sharp questions as soon as they arrived.
Victoria sat there peacefully, her clear and beautiful eyes calm and relaxed, "I'm not weary because I have good mental resilience. What's the matter, are you jealous?"
The journalist was momentarily silenced by her response, angrily demanding, "Victoria, do you dare admit to pushing down your own mother!"
Victoria looked at him with disdainful eyes, and her voice was clear and audible,
"Firstly, I have severed ties with the Montgomery family, and Bella Montgomery is no longer my mother. Hey journalist, please watch your wording."
"Secondly, I admit, I did push Bella Montgomery."
Victoria said these words calmly, but the effect was like a spark flying into a pile of explosives, instantly detonating the reporters in the audience.
The reporters in the front row did not care about the rules for a moment and rushed to ask,
"Victoria, are you publicly admitting that you pushed Bella down? She is your biological mother, how can you do such rebellious behavior!"
"Victoria, Trent said that besides Dempsey and Eric, no one in the Montgomery family has done anything to hurt you, but you have cut ties with the family. Can you respond to this?"
Some reporters also focused on Carl on the stage, bombarding him with questions, "Carl, Victoria is an artist of your Imperial Style Entertainment. Are you going to protect someone with such moral corruption? Aren't you afraid of being boycotted by netizens!"
This press conference was being simultaneously livestreamed online.
Trent, Bella, and Amelia were all waiting in front of the live broadcast, keeping an eye on the situation of the press conference.
Watching Victoria being besieged by reporters, various sharp questions thrust at her like swords, Trent felt a sense of satisfaction.
Things were indeed developing in the direction he anticipated.
Making Trent and Bella Montgomery apologize?
Was she alright, Miss?
Victoria pushed someone, Bella was the one pushed, and Trent just exposed the incident, revealing Victoria's true colors. Why should they apologize?
In the silence, Mabel opened the laptop on the side and projected the computer screen on the projector.
Mabel found the ten-second-long video that Dempsey had posted online and clicked it to play.
The video showed Victoria pushing Bella away and throwing her onto the sofa.
The reporters in the audience saw this and couldn't hold back,
"Miss Pines, we've watched this video countless times!"
"The video clearly shows that Victoria pushed down her own mother, and she just admitted it. Are you still trying to defend her?"
"You're talking about making Bella apologize. Are you trying to force a grieving mother to her death?"
Mabel ignored the noisy and angry reporters and calmly said,
Everyone, from this short video of a dozen seconds, you've drawn so many conclusions."
"Well, we have a more complete video here. Please enjoy it together."
Trent, who was watching the live broadcast, had a disdainful snicker surface in his heart when he saw this.
Video?
He had already destroyed the complete version; Victoria couldn't possibly have it!
