My Mommy Is A CEO

Chapter 41 Press Conference



“I asked the reporters who were involved in this morning’s Lucia story to be here to dispel the rumors, and the reporters sitting in the right half of the room can report what I’m telling you today,” Arthur said, still ignoring the noise because if he spoke, the room would be quiet.

Lucia looked at Arthur from the stage. She did not expect Arthur to invite all the reporters involved in the report. Obviously, his purpose was not only to clarify but also to make big moves.

“First of all,” Arthur stood in the center of the stage, and his low magnetic voice wafted through the loudspeaker into every corner of the room.

“Last night, were any of you at TalentScoop Company’s Mr. Kaur’s birthday party, and saw me, Lucia, Eduard, and Jacob arguing?”

When Arthur finished speaking, he gave the reporters a chance to say something, but no one did. So he lowered his eyes and continued.

“Second, how did you conclude five years ago that Lucia was having an affair?”

This time, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question. Arthur gestured to the staff to hand over the microphone and listened to the male reporter.

“Mr. Davies, we know that you had nothing to do with Lucia’s affair five years ago, and we don’t know why you tried so hard to defend Lucia, but I was there. Lucia, lying in bed after our break-in, does appear to have just had sex with someone. There are photos to prove this. We are not misreporting, are we?”

As the reporter spoke, Lucia, standing in the audience’s seat, clenched her fist uncontrollably. She had not expected anyone to speak so plainly about what they had seen. No matter how strong Lucia’s defensive line was, she would still be hurt by this statement.

Arthur’s eyes grew sharp as the reporter’s voice paused. Unconsciously, he glanced in Lucia’s direction and saw her head hanging. Without hesitation, he turned back to stare at the reporter and snapped back.

“First of all, you didn’t catch Lucia’s so-called “lover” five years ago. So, when Lucia was alone in her hotel room and not conscious, why didn’t you think about other reasons like maybe someone assaulted her, or maybe there was an accident, instead of pointing to extramarital affairs?”

Although the male reporter held the microphone in his hand, he was speechless.

Arthur’s words were so reasonable that the reporters were talking again. Yeah, Lucia was alone in her hotel room. Why would anyone rush in and find no trace of any other man present and conclude that she cheated, instead of believing Lucia was assaulted?

Who was responsible for making this claim directly to the public?

Suddenly, the public, who thought Lucia must have cheated on her husband five years ago, had new questions about what happened.

All the reporters on the right side of the court talked about this topic, and none of the reporters on the left side said anything. They looked left and right without knowing what to think. At first glance, there seemed to be a divide.

“Right now, I’m gonna tell you.” Arthur gave a cold look at the reporter, who was still standing, and then turned his head in Lucia’s direction. His eyes grew soft for a moment, then he slowly held out his hand in her direction.

Without hesitation, Lucia looked back at Arthur and walked in his direction.

Seeing the gossip heroine suddenly walking on the stage, the originally low voice of discussion turned into noise. Apparently, no one expected Lucia to be at the conference.

Lucia ignored the others’ eyes and walked slowly to Arthur’s side. Then she raised her hand and placed hers in his palm.

Arthur’s hands were so warm.

As soon as he touched Lucia’s hand, Arthur gently folded his hand and wrapped it around her tiny hand. He looked down at her with a slight smile before turning his head and continuing to address the assembled reporters.

“Because Lucia is my girlfriend!”

The crowd was stunned.

Arthur had been at Athegate for many years. Because of his noble status and beautiful appearance, he had always been the most popular subject of the paparazzi. Unfortunately, no one ever caught him having any affairs, and he never responded to any questions about his feelings. In the end, the paparazzi gave up themselves.

However, today, such a cold man who seemed to be insulated from women, actually directly held a press conference in the company to announce his love for Lucia, which showed his seriousness and sincerity.

Lucia herself was taken aback by Arthur’s words. She had guessed that his purpose was to dispel rumors, but she had never expected Arthur to announce his relationship with her in public. She was sure that Arthur would not like his private life to be known to the public, and yet he did so on his own initiative, without making assumptions, in order to protect her.

Thinking of this, Lucia was moved and felt sorry at the same time. Therefore, after Arthur said this, she held her head high, faced all the reporters’ suspicious eyes, responded to all the bad with a calm attitude, and stood together with him.

Arthur chuckled and went on. “Did Lucia become the CEO of Jibillion Inc because of Eduard? Did you know that she graduated from MIT and is a student of Nike Federer, the well-known doctoral advisor of MIT, the academic master of Finance and Economics, that her thesis was published in a USA financial magazine, and that USA Finance and Economics hailed her as the most talented woman of the last decade?”

All the people present were surprised to hear her information. Most journalists were so caught up in the scandal of five years ago that they forget that Lucia was a different person today. The fact that she came back and even became the CEO of Jibillion Inc showed that she was not simple.

Arthur continued, “Do you think that Lucia needed someone else to get to where she is today? You can find out for yourself whether Lucia knew Eduard when she got the offer. How dare you judge without even doing basic research?”

No one dared to respond.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite Lucia’s impressive academic credentials, the fact that she was a protege of Nike Federer was enough to impress everyone.

Nike Federer was the most famous man in the world of finance. Every academic article he published affected the world of finance. He had also worked at the Southwind Tavern, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT, Yale, and the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research and others to engage in lecturing and Research work. He was the unrivaled god of every financial person.

The fact that Lucia was a student of Nike Federer spoke for her ability. The alleged exploitation relationship between her and Eduard also broke down.

Arthur went out of his way to squash every rumor, step by step. Now, no one dared raise their hand to question it.
