The next morning, Artemis held a press conference at the Luther Group's press room.
At the scene, countless media reporters started whispering among each other.
“It seems that the rumors about Mr. Luther preparing to announce his relationship with Ms. Shurmer are solid after all.”
“That seems like it. Judging by the grand setting for this press conference, it is very likely to happen. Otherwise, I can't think of another joyous occasion for the Luther Group to spend all their resources to broadcast this conference worldwide.”
“Those people who were speculating about Mr. Luther dating Bailey must be embarrassed right now. I knew it was impossible that a calm and composed man like Mr. Luther would have an affair with his sister-in-law.”
“Even if he's not having an affair with his sister-in-law, that doesn't mean you ladies stand a chance to be with him. He's about to announce his relationship now. An ideal man is about to tell the world he's off the market, and you ladies can only stay jealous and mad to see another woman marrying him.”
“I feel like crying already when you mentioned that.”
At that precise moment, Zoey showed up at the venue in her high heels.
Instantly, everyone fixed their gazes on her.
Camera lights flashed everywhere, and the reporters gathered around her, asking her one question after another.
“Ms. Shurmer, is it true that Mr. Luther is holding a press conference today to announce your relationship?”
“Ms. Shurmer, did you rush here after accepting the invitation from Mr. Luther?”
“Ms. Shurmer, it was rumored earlier that Mr. Luther was having an affair with Bailey Jefferson. Are you announcing your relationship to divert the public's attention from that scandal?”
“Ms. Shurmer, it is said that you once saved Mr. Luther's life. Are you perhaps using that to make Mr. Luther marry you?”
“Ms. Shurmer—”
Zoey waved a hand and cut off the reporters' questions. She smiled and said, “Everyone, you've asked too many questions for me to address them one by one. Now that I'm standing here today, I guess it's enough to prove that many rumors surrounding us are true. I hope you can focus on Artemis and me instead of asking irrelevant questions. Thank you.”
The next morning, Artemis held a press conference at the Luther Group's press room.
Her statement triggered an uproar among the reporters.
Someone sensible immediately said, “Ms. Shurmer, congratulations to you and Mr. Luther.”
“You two make a great couple. You're certainly a match made in heaven.”
“We wish you two a happily ever after.”
“Ms. Shurmer, you will certainly make every woman on earth envy you, and you will become the happiest woman in the world.”
Hearing all the congratulatory messages from the reporters, Zoey felt like she was on cloud nine. It felt surreal.
She enjoyed being the center of attention and showered with praise.
Thus, she must marry Artemis to enjoy this kind of attention for the rest of her life.
Another series of footsteps rang out at the entrance again.
Being surrounded by his bodyguards, Artemis had arrived at the venue.
“Look. Mr. Luther is here.”
“That's right. Mr. Luther is here. He's here.”
As soon as he appeared, Artemis immediately became the center of attention.
Zoey heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing him, and the blissful smile on her face grew wider.
He did not lie to her as he indeed showed up at the press conference.
“Mr. Luther, are you holding a press conference today to announce your relationship with Ms. Shurmer?”
“Mr. Luther—”
Before the second reporter could ask his question, Artemis suddenly raised a hand and stopped him.
Instantly, all noises in the room quietened down. The spacious press room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Artemis swept a glance around the room and said faintly, “Thank you, everyone, for clearing your schedules to attend Luther Group's media conference. I hope all of you, including Ms. Shurmer, can stay and witness the news I am about to announce.”
Her stotement triggered on uproor omong the reporters.
