Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Illegitimate Child

When news broke that Lion Group was going to hold a press conference, all media outlets began preparing for it immediately. Everyone

wanted to occupy a good seat in the venue so they could get the news straight from the horse's mouth on that day.

Lucia was August's personal secretary and the main character of this story. Naturally, most of the attention was on her.

At the press conference, the door to the venue slowly opened as the cameras flashed constantly. The reporters waiting impatiently at the

door immediately swarmed forward, and all of them looked like they wanted to put their microphones right in her face.

Burton moved quickly to maintain the orderliness of the press conference. He assisted the bodyguards by ushering the reporters to their

seats, clearing a path.

August walked carefully with Lucia behind him so he could protect her from the crowd. Both of them quickly got on the stage and sat

down.

"Ms. Mitchell, not long after you and Mr. Thomas held a wedding, Mr. Thomas announced that the marriage had run its course. Does it

mean that there was indeed a third party involved in this marriage?"

"Cloud Technology and Lion Group are competitive business rivals in secret. Have you considered how Cloud Technology will develop in

the future it you return to Lion Group now?"

"Can you give us a summary of the recent development of your love life?"

"Ms. Mitchell..."

Each question was trickier than the last. They kept asking questions about the so-called third party and inside information about the

industry.

Burton took the microphone and reminded in a strict voice, "We will certainly answer all your questions later, so please calm down and

lower your volume. For those who refuse to cooperate, we will not hesitate to show you the way out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters fell silent.

Meanwhile, Lucia was obviously a little nervous when faced with so many flashing lights at once. Her palms were already wet with

sweat.

August wrapped his large palm around her dainty hand tightly. He turned his head to look at her, his gaze firm. At that, she took a deep

breath and slowly got up.

"I am truly sorry for taking up your precious time. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for your concern during this period. When I

broke

up

with Mr. Thomas, the Knight Town had not been launched yet. Thus, there was no leaking of confidential business secrets."

"I met Mr. Adams six years ago before I got to know Mr. Thomas. The rumors speculating that there was a third party in my previous

marriage are ridiculous. The wise know better than to spread rumors. After today, if rumors about a third-wheeler in my previous

marriage continue circulating online, I will protect my own interests through legal means."

She cleared all the recent rumors in just a few words. After the reporters had accumulated enough information, the questions were no

longer difficult to handle. They then asked about other unrelated matters before the press conference came to an end and fell into

silence.

The lights gradually dimmed as the lighting in the entire hall became incandescent.

August held her delicate hands and slowly stood up. The couple stood in the center of the stage, and he spoke in a low and magnetic voice.

"Today, I've gathered everyone here to act as witnesses as I clarify Ms. Mitchell's identity."

Lucia was slightly stunned, and she looked at him in confusion.

August spread out his palm to reveal a small diamond ring. It was the one he had put on her ring finger six years ago.

"You still have it?"

While Lucia asked in surprise, he had already put the ring back onto her finger. "Since the very start, there hasn't been anyone else.

You're the one and only Mrs. August Adams for me."

He spoke very slowly and gently, but everyone present could hear him loud and clear. After a few seconds of silence, the audience burst

into wild applause.

Lucia could only feel her cheeks burning, and she did not dare to look up at the crowd. Her eyes were fixed on the shiny ring on her finger

as sweetness filled her heart.

Suddenly, a harsh male voice rang out among the crowd, shattering the harmonious atmosphere. "Ms. Mitchell insists that there was no

third party in her previous marriage. In that case, why do your children call Mr. Thomas their father?"

Children? Did Lucia Mitchell and Paul Thomas actually have children?

The big screen behind the stage started showing their family pictures. It was not difficult to tell from the photos that the two children

looked very similar to August.

This piece of information caused a big stir. The reporters who had just been calmed down were once again in a frenzy, constantly

whispering to each other.

"Didn't Lucia marry Paul a long time ago? How could she have had children with Mr. Adams? They are so big now!"

"These two children look like they are four or five years old, right?"

"Mr. Thomas is really pitiful. He's been taking care of someone else's children. In addition to being a fool for so many years, he's even

speaking up on behalf of Lucia online."

"Didn't she just say that she did not cheat? I think her speech earlier was just to hide the fact that she had been two-timing Paul. Lucia

Mitchell is truly a bitch."

A cold light flashed across August's deep eyes as he said to Burton in a deep voice, "Go get the backup documents we prepared and find

the person who shouted earlier."
