Chapter 275 The Press Conference Begins
Julien nodded with a cold face. "That’s right. Everything.”
Zach's face twitched. "President Flint, this is a little too much. I just finished my breakfast..."
"Eat it!" Julien’s words were absolute.
Zach hugged the breakfast for two in his arms, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Revenge! Julien was taking revenge for what he said earlier.
If he knew that Julien was such a petty person, he would have kept his mouth shut.
Zach shook his head helplessly as he looked at the breakfast in his hands once more.
Soon enough, it was 10:00 AM.
Sydney handed all the documents she had sorted out to Sophie and looked at her computer. She was having trouble deciding if she should watch Julien's press conference.
After a short moment of hesitation, she decided to watch it.
Why not?
Lyra’s engagement was annulled. This was great news for Sydney, so why should she miss such a good show?
As Sydney thought about that, she entered Flint Corporation's official website.
In the live stream, Julien was standing at the center of the conference room with a microphone. He looked at the reporters below him without an expression.
Those reporters were so stunned by his appearance, and the room fell into silence almost immediately. Only the comments section kept rolling. They were either praising Julien's good looks or curious about the content of the press conference.
A lot of people already guessed that this press conference was related to Lyra, since something happened to her yesterday night.
"Is everyone quiet now?" Julien finally spoke.
The reporters below were all like students when they nodded in reply. Everyone watching the live stream was amused at their reactions.
Reporters could be the most annoying human beings to deal with, and they were also the bravest. As long as they could gain viewers, they would not mind giving their lives.
Yet in front of Julien Flint, they were all like rats who were facing a cat.
"Since everyone has settled down, I'll announce the purpose of this press conference, which is related to the marriage alliance between me and the Madden family. From today onward, my engagement with Ms. Lyra Madden will officially be annulled," Julien said as he looked into the camera, his voice as cold as ever. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Unexpectedly, the reporters below did not seem to be surprised.
They probably saw it coming.
Since such a thing happened to Lyra, an annulment of the engagement was not at all surprising.
Even ordinary men could hardly accept their partners being violated, even more so for influential people from noble families like Julien Flint.
When everyone heard that Julien annulled the marriage, none of them thought that it was wrong for him to do so.
Of course, some felt that he was cruel and inconsiderate.
Even if he wanted to annul the marriage, he should not have done it so soon. The incident happened only yesterday and his fiancee was still suffering from the recent trauma. Many felt that he should have waited until she at least got better.
However, people with this school of thought were quickly buried by the rest.
When Sydney heard Julien's words in front of the computer, she understood that from that moment onward, he was no longer affiliated with Lyra.
However, she could not help but feel that it was all just an irony.
Just three months ago, Julien and Lyra had a high profile engagement ceremony that was heavily publicized. Even though Sydney herself ruined it in the end, the entire world knew that they were engaged.
After that, these two were stuck to each other like glue, and everyone was envious of their perfect relationship. Yet in the end, it all became a joke.
Lyra was violated and she became the biggest topic for discussion. She probably would not be able to stand in public anymore.
Even though Julien's identity protected him from public opinions, everyone would also be secretly saying that he practically got cheated on.
Sydney twirled her pen and she was actually gloating.
On the other side, Cayden, Luke, and
Hunter were watching the live stream from their own homes. When they heard that Julien annulled his marriage with Lyra, each of them felt equally unhappy.
They wanted Julien to be tied to Lyra forever.
However, they knew that it was impractical. They could only watch the live stream and do nothing.
In the conference room, a reporter started asking questions, "President Flint, did you discuss this with the Madden family before you annul the engagement? Or is this your own decision?"
Julien swept a glance at this reporter before answering, “What’s the difference between discussing it and deciding it myself? A question like that is wasting time. Next."
The reporter sat down with his face red.
Another reporter stood up. "President Flint, I heard that you've already thought about this annulment some time ago. Is this true?"
Once this question popped out, everyone’s eyes glimmered.
This was an interesting question and it piqued everyone's interest.
Julien narrowed his eyes. "Where did you hear this from?"
The reporter chose not to hide it. "I have a friend who works in Trison Corporation. He heard this when President Madden was on the phone with someone."
Julien nodded. "You're right. Before what happened to Ms. Madden last night, I've already decided on this annulment."
This made everyone in the conference room and the live stream viewers stunned.
At the same time, they were curious.
Even Sydney.
When Jayden called her and told her that Julien was going to annul his engagement with Lyra, he did not tell her the reason.
She was really curious about the reason behind it.
Cayden, Hunter, and Luke were also staring at Julien on the screen, waiting for his explanation.
"President Flint, why did you say that? Can you tell us the reason?"
The reporter continued asking.
Julien pursed his lips. "I cannot be together with a vicious woman who schemed against me."
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Schemed. Vicious.
Those were strong words, and these words made people's imaginations go wild.
In the hospital room, when Brandon heard this, he was so mad that he was about to throw the remote at the television.
Mrs. Madden wiped her tears. "How can Julien say that? He annulled the engagement and even tarnished Lyra's image. Does he want to send her to hell?'
Everyone would naturally believe Julien and think that Lyra was a vicious woman.
After all, no one would expect a leading man in the business world to lie in public.
Since Lyra had been labeled as vicious, this would probably stick with her for the rest of her life. Even when the news of her being violated died down later on, people would still remember her for being vicious and stray away from her.
Everyone would also start questioning how the Madden family raised her, as well as Brandon Madden and his wife's character. They would also stray away from them both.
If Mrs. Madden could think about this, of course Brandon did as well.
Brandon gritted his teeth and looked at Julien on the screen with a twisted expression. He said nothing, and no one could really tell what he was thinking.
In Skylight Corporation, Sydney also did not expect Julien to announce publicly that Lyra was vicious.
Even though he did not tell the public about what exactly Lyra did, these words were enough to make people's imaginations go wild.
Why did he do that?
Just because Lyra impersonated Sydney?
Even Hunter was surprised. However, more than surprised, he smiled knowingly. "Your love can make someone live, while your hatred can kill. You're really terrifying."
