Chapter 481
“Miss York, shouldn’t you be resting at home? Why are you here?”
Elaine sneered, and her eyes brimmed with anger. “Liam, stop pretending. You were the one who asked me to plot against-” Before she could finish, the lights at the press conference suddenly went out, and the venue was plunged into darkness. “What's happening? Why did the lights go out all of a sudden?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hurry up and use the flashlight on your phone!”
“Where’s Elaine York? Why did she suddenly vanish? | was waiting for her to continue.”
The place fell into chaos, and it took ten minutes for the lights to come back on. However, Elaine was gone by then.
Liam smiled. “Everyone, please calm down. We've figured out why the power went out. A staff member accidentally pulled down the lever on the breaker. It’s fixed now. By the way, where’s Miss. York?”
The reporters turned their gazes back to Liam. One of them stirred the pot and asked, “Mr. Remus, Elaine York mentioned that you put her up to something. Do you two have any private dealings?”
“Mr. Remus, did you collaborate with Elaine York to frame Neil Remus with false accusations of sexual harassment?”
“Speaking of which, there’s something fishy about the whole thing. Elaine York called the police, but she had no evidence to support her claims. Can you explain, Mr. Remus?”
As the questions kept coming, Liam’s smile disappeared, and his expression turned cold.
He looked at the reporters and said, “Why would | plot against my cousin? If this had happened before he stepped down as the president of Remus Corporation, you might have reason to doubt. But now that I’m the company’s president, what would | gain from scheming against him?”
Seeing the crowd's silence, he smiled again. “I believe all of you are smart. You wouldn’t do something that doesn’t benefit you, right?”
As the reporters continued to remain silent, someone in the corner suddenly chuckled.
“Liam, do you always resort to threats? What cheap tactics.”
Liam widened his eyes in shock. His expression darkened as he glanced at a woman who was dressed as a reporter. What was his secretary doing? Why was Elaine still here?!
Elaine smiled as she stood up and said, “Mr. Remus, are you wondering why I’m still here? You must be surprised since your secretary was supposed to lock me away.”
Liam forced a smile, but there was a glint of displeasure in his eyes. “Miss York, why would you say that? Is there a misunderstanding between us? If there is, we can sort it out privately. |

know your father.”
She sneered and ignored his veiled threat.
“By ‘a misunderstanding,’ are you saying that you didn’t make me plot against Neil? Or is it that you didn’t break your promise and help my uncle and aunt imprison me in the York Family’s mansion forever?”
As soon as she said this, all the reporters widened their eyes in shock. They were visibly excited. “What did | just hear?!” “| never thought that Neil Remus would actually be framed!”
“Haha. Liam Remus acts all nice on the surface, but behind the scenes, he’s itching to harm Neil Remus. Talk about being hypocritical!”
“His actions make sense. Only someone with issues would treat the son of his parents’ killers like family.”
Liam's face turned red with rage. He glared at Elaine and said, “Miss York, everyone should be responsible for what they say. Please don’t make baseless accusations! You're saying that | teamed up with you to frame Neil, but what would | gain from setting him up?!”
She stared at him and replied, “You do have something to gain. You could win against him in the upcoming presidential election in Remus Corporation!”
