Chapter 276 Three Birds With One Stone
Chapter 276 Three Birds With One Stone
The press conference was still going on.
The reporter was relentless. "President Flint, why do you say that Ms. Madden is vicious? What did she do? Can you explain?"
Other reporters and everyone watching the live stream were looking at Julien in anticipation.
Besides the entertainment news, they were also interested in the scandals among the rich.
All because they lived unreliable lives.
Julien pursed his lips. "No. You just have to know that this is the real reason why I decided on the engagement annulment. You don’t have to know anything else.
That’s all for today.'
After he said that, he put down the microphone and left the conference room with both his hands in his pocket.
He did not want to elaborate on what Lyra did because he did not want Sydney to be the center of attention.
Even when Lyra did those things, Sydney was still a victim. Some people who had bad intentions might start speculating that it must be Sydney’s fault that Lyra started attacking her. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Julien left everyone in the conference room and all the viewers of the live stream hanging.
He threw a grenade at them, yet he did not pull the ring. He captured everyone's interest and just left them hanging like that. He was purely inhumane.
However, no one dared to stop him. They turned their attention to his assistant instead, hoping that he could answer their questions.
Zach looked at everyone’s questioning eyes and his face twitched.
He could tell exactly what they were thinking.
To be honest, he disagreed with what Julien did himself. Julien just made a mess and Zach had to clean up after him.
However, Zach did not have a choice.
Of course, it was also impossible for the reporters to find out anything from Zach.
In the end, everyone left Flint Corporation and headed to Trison Corporation to interview Brandon Madden, hoping for some insights from him.
However, Brandon did not show up in any of the interviews. Instead, he uploaded a video of himself on his official website.
In the video, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked incredibly fatigued, as though he was in great pain.
He looked at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Brandon Madden. The news about my daughter's violation was all over the Internet for the past two days, and I apologize that it has taken up so many resources. At the same time, I hope that everyone can stop talking about this. My daughter is a victim, and she's still unconscious in the ICU right now. If she finds out that everyone is talking about her when she wakes up, she might break down.’’
When he said that, he raised his hand and wiped a non-visible tear. He continued, ' President Flint said that my daughter is vicious in his press conference a while ago. This is just defamation. I admit
that my daughter has her flaws, but she's not vicious. Who did she harm? Since everyone is good and well, I hope that everyone will not blindly believe in what President Flint says. I also hope that everyone can cease your malicious comments. They might kill my daughter."
Brandon sucked in a deep breath and looked right into the camera once more, as though he was looking at someone through the camera. "I don't know why President Flint said that about Lyra, but I think that this is unfair to her. After all, you both dated and were even planning to get married. I understand that you might be ashamed of what happened to Lyra and urge for an annulment. I’ll accept this.
From now onward, the Madden and the Flint families have nothing to do with each other. This is all I have to say. Thank you."
After saying that, he bowed in front of the camera, and the video ended.
Everyone who watched the video changed their opinions, regardless if they thought that Lyra was evil, or just people there for gossip.
"Exactly! Lyra is a victim, and she didn’t ask to be violated. Everyone keeps saying that she's shameless and pointing their fingers at her. I think they are the true evils here. Aren't they afraid that the victim might read their comments and commit suicide?"
“These keyboard warriors aren't afraid of anything. All they could care about is themselves."
I think President Madden made sense.
President Flint said that Lyra is vicious, but we didn’t see her do anything wrong. His words need some validation for sure. Moreover, they once dated, so how can he say that about her?"
Suddenly, everyone was stating their own views on the Internet. Some trusted Julien, some scolded him, and most of them started sympathizing with Lyra.
In the Flint Corporation, Julien read the comments without an expression.
However, he had a chilly aura revolving around him.
Zach was behind him. He said, "Brandon Madden is good. He pushed the blame to you and those who violated Lyra, and their family is now just the victim.”
When Julien revealed Lyra's true colors, everyone initially trusted him. Even if Lyra was violated, they did not pity her and even agreed that the engagement annulment was a great idea.
However, right after Brandon released the video, the tables were turned. Everyone started thinking if Julien's words were credible, and those who took Lyra's side became a vast majority. They did not see Lyra do anything wrong, and Lyra was the victim.
It was human nature for people to sympathize with victims. Now, the malicious comments against Lyra had all stopped, and Trison Corporation's stock market noted a significant rise.
Brandon killed two birds with one stone.
Actually, there were three birds.
Brandon even took revenge on Julien for the engagement annulment. From Brandon’s words earlier, he was saying that Julien tarnished Lyra's name on purpose. Such an act would definitely get frowned upon by everyone. Therefore, a lot of them had started scolding Julien instead.
Brandon Madden definitely had more up his sleeves.
Zach shook his head in admiration.
Sydney also understood the entire situation.
The fact that Brandon Madden would be a difficult person to deal with dawned upon her.
She could not put down her guard just because she won against Brandon Madden a few times. Otherwise, she might end up dead without knowing what happened.
When she thought about this, she narrowed her eyes and she had a solemn expression.
On the other side, Layden shut down his computer and called Finn. "When are you planning to post Lyra’s video? Brandon had already cleaned up the mess.”
"No rush," Finn said.
"Wait until Lyra wakes up. I know her well. She'll definitely do something, and we should post the video then. We should destroy her completely, so she can never return."
Layden nodded knowingly. "I understand.”
Finn asked, "Have you sorted out the surveillance cameras?"
"Done. I'll send it to you shortly," Layden replied.
Finn nodded.
Flint Corporation.
Julien looked through all the cooperation projects he had with Trison Corporation and handed the summary back to Zach. " Announce to everyone that from today onward, we'll cease all cooperation with Trison Corporation."
