Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3122

Anthony's words also reminded Karen of this.

Even though she was dissatisfied, she said to him, "Let's get started, then. Also, make sure to keep a record of those media outlets that didn't show up. From now on, the Mallory family won't be cooperating with them."

Anthony thought to himself that the Mallory family was not under Karen's control. Ever since she fell out with Percy, Karen had practically no say in the Mallory family affairs.

Therefore, even if Karen kept a record, there was not much she could do to those media outlets.

"Yes, Madam," answered Anthony as he took the microphone and began to host the press conference.

The content of the press conference was straightforward. It was just for Karen to proclaim her innocence and for Silas to come out and clarify a certain matter.

Anthony held the microphone and greeted, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for taking the time to attend Madam Mallory, also known as Ms. Karen’s, press conference.

“This conference aims to clarify a certain issue that has been circulating online recently regarding Ms. Karen's past. These claims were fabricated by malicious individuals, and in fact, there's no truth to them.

"Today, we've invited the person involved in the video release, Mr. Silas Gray, to explain the situation to you all..."

Before he could finish his words, a reporter raised her hand, trying to interrupt him.

Anthony paused for a moment and then asked the reporter, "Yes? What's your question?"

"I have a question. So, do you mean Ms. Karen's implication is that everything regarding this matter is false?" the reporter asked directly. She was not particularly interested in clarifications. She was just following her editor's assignment.

In fact, their editor also deemed this piece of news unworthy of coverage. However, since it involved the Mallory family and they received an invitation, they dared not offend the Mallory family. Hence, the media outlet sent the reporter over.

"Well..." Anthony was about to respond when the reporter continued, "Could we trouble Ms. Karen to answer this question?"

Karen's expression darkened. The reporters present probably knew that she had been ordered by Old Master Mallory to move out. Thus, their presence here was merely perfunctory.

She had fallen out of favor with the Mallory family, and they did not regard her highly either.

Karen knew that if she severed ties with the Mallory family, she would be nothing.

She reluctantly took the microphone from the side. Even though she was resentful, she dared not offend the reporters. Their pens could paint her in the most detestable light.

Therefore, she dared not act recklessly.

"I can assure you that all those claims are false. Mr. Gray and I knew each other before, but it was merely an acquaintanceship. There was no relationship as he described.

"He was misled by certain people into saying those things to the reporters. Today, I'm here to clarify this matter," explained Karen.

"If they're false, why didn't you clarify them from the beginning? Why choose to clarify them only now?" continued the reporter, raising the most significant doubt in everyone's minds.

Karen looked at the reporter who was persistently challenging her. Was this reporter trying to slowly undermine what she had just said?

Did she really invite this reporter herself?

Karen glanced at the reporter. There was no media logo displayed next to her, and she was quite a distance away. She could not discern which media company this reporter belonged to from her press pass.

"Mr. Gray was deliberately misled and kept avoiding contact. It took a considerable effort for me to locate him and convince him to reveal the truth to the reporters," replied Karen.

"Ms. Karen, you've been insisting that the previous reports were all fabricated by malicious individuals. Can you tell us who these individuals are? Do you have any evidence?" the reporter persisted.

This was how people lived at the bottom of society.

What he feared was that after clarifying things, he would no longer be of any use and Karen would get rid of him.

Even though Silas was scared, he knew that if he ruined Karen's plan, he would be finished. Therefore, he had no choice but to cooperate.

After he came out, he sat on a chair.

To distance himself from Karen, their chairs were placed far apart, leaving space for four or five people in between.

After he sat down, he smiled awkwardly while facing the reporters.

It was different from the first time.

The first time, he had been paid, so he had rehearsed many times before facing the reporters. As long as he followed the script given to him and added some personal emotions, it would be very convincing.

However, things were different this time. He was scared...

Karen's gaze could kill. When he thought of how she had changed into a different person and tormented him these days, he knew that this woman had changed over the years.

He could not afford to provoke her anymore.

As Silas took the microphone handed to him by Anthony, he timidly greeted the reporters, "Good morning, folks."

"Mr. Gray, can you tell us who you collaborated with to smear Ms. Karen's name? Do you have any evidence?" The reporter who had questioned Karen earlier now directed sharp questions at Silas, clearly determined to get to the bottom of things.
