Rebecca Quentin stood in an inconspicuous corner of the hall, her face turning deathly pale upon hearing what Howard Geoffrey said.
Howard Geoffrey continued, "And today I’m going to announce a pleasant surprise... first, please look at the screen behind me."
The video to be played today was one that Rebecca Quentin had already instructed the staff to show in advance, specifically Howard Geoffrey’s "sex tape." Of course, she explained to the staff that it was to showcase how she and Howard Geoffrey met and got to know each other... But it’s clear now that Howard Geoffrey has already seen through everything, so what will this video be?
Rebecca Quentin vaguely felt a bad omen.
Everyone on site held their breath, their eyes fixed on the video screen.
No one expected that just as everyone was focusing, the screen emitted an annoying creaking sound, and the video turned black and white.
The scene immediately descended into chaos...
Staff members quickly explained to everyone, "The video will be back shortly, please remain calm."
Rebecca Quentin was also surprised by this scene before her and had no idea what was going on now.
At this point, Howard Geoffrey’s secretary handed a phone to him.
It was apparent that someone was calling Howard Geoffrey...
Amidst the slight commotion, Howard Geoffrey stepped aside, one hand in his pocket, leisurely pressing the answer button, "Looks like you already know what’s about to happen."
On the other end of the line, Skyler Jones’s voice was icy with suppressed anger, "I forbid you to harm Becca!!"
"I don’t care about Rebecca Quentin. What I care about is whether you can give me a response now. You should know that it won’t take much time to fix the video. If you can’t give me an answer this second, the next second the video showing behind me will be a sex video concerning Rebecca Quentin’s reputation..."
"You wouldn’t do it; your press conference couldn’t possibly show something unconnected to you!"
Howard Geoffrey chuckled coldly, "What you’re saying is indeed the truth, but by then, the staff on-site can explain it as a broadcasting mistake, and nobody will pay attention to why it was messed up, because the video that will appear shows Skyler Jones, the president of the ’Oversky’ Group, having an affair with an outsider before marriage, and I believe this news will be much more sensational than any joyful event I could randomly announce!"
Skyler Jones’s self-control seemed to have failed, "Howard Geoffrey!!"
At this moment, the staff announced that the video had been fixed...
This voice naturally reached Skyler Jones’s ears on the other end.
Howard Geoffrey glanced at the corner at Rebecca Quentin, who seemed about to collapse, and said, "You heard it, I have to decide now! Will we air the history of our friendship, or Rebecca Quentin’s sexual history? It’s up to your choice, Mr. Jones!"
Skyler Jones clenched his teeth through his attempted suppression and spat out, "Fine, what do you want me to do?"
Howard Geoffrey calmly replied, "I want you to appear now and admit our brotherhood in front of the whole world. This is the joyful event I want to announce to the world. And tomorrow, I want you to fly to America to see Mom!"
Rebecca Quentin never imagined that Skyler Jones would appear at this moment.
The silence that had just been restored was stirred up again by Skyler Jones’s sudden arrival.
Numerous reporters swarmed towards Skyler Jones, questioning his reason for appearing here while following his footsteps to the stage.
Through the thick crowd, Rebecca Quentin could clearly see the expression on Skyler Jones’s face filled with a smile.
She never thought she would see Skyler Jones here, and stood in place full of confusion.
Skyler Jones took the stage and seemed to have an exchange of glances with Howard Geoffrey, but no one could discern the deep meaning in their eyes.
The numerous journalists below the stage were also in a state of confusion, but the meeting of the two major group presidents, "Skytop" and "Oversky," was enough to attract attention, so the spotlight and flashlights continued without pause.
Skyler Jones had not yet spoken after getting on stage, as the large screen behind him started to play a video.
Rebecca Quentin watched the video intently, knowing it couldn’t possibly be what she had planned, and thus feeling a sense of terror.
The content of the video seemed unrelated to her, telling a story of two brothers lost in childhood.
Rebecca Quentin initially didn’t know the purpose of Howard Geoffrey showing this video, until she saw the scene where the mother, despite fighting for custody of one child, had to make the painful decision to push away her eldest son...
