Chapter 1077 Quickly Make Up After a Quarrel Between Married Couple

Another reporter asked, "Mrs. Callahan, are you saying that you were abroad for five years to seek medical treatment and the Callahans knew about it?"

"No, to avoid unnecessary trouble, we didn't tell too many people about it."

The reporter said, "Mrs. Callahan, who knew about this matter at the time?"

Mavis pursed her lips and didn't want to answer.

The reporter wasn't a police officer. There was no need to keep digging into the matter.

She chose to avoid the question and clarify her position, "Instead of calling me Mrs. Callahan, I prefer if you call me Miss Parker."

The reporters looked at one another in confusion.

Mavis picked up one of the microphones in front of her and announced loudly, "I have something to tell everyone. Mr. Callahan and I have fallen out of love during these five years apart. Our marriage is severely incompatible. Therefore, I came back this time to discuss divorce with Mr. Callahan as well as custody issues regarding our son. Please pay attention for further updates on our divorce proceedings."

The reporters were shocked.

After disappearing for five years, she came back just for a divorce?

There were even more questions from reporters below.

"Mrs. Callahan, what caused your relationship with Mr. Callahan not working out? There are rumors online that Mr. Callahan got close with Miss Padilla. Is it because he cheated on you that led you announcing your unilateral decision for a divorce?"

"No, we decided on a divorce due to personality differences. As far as whom he wants to be with after me has nothing do with me," Mavis replied calmly without intending on revealing any details or criticizing Anthony in front of media cameras.

It was best to leave room for negotiation when dealing with Anthony later.

Another reporter said, "What specifically caused personality differences between both of you? Mr. Callahan is handsome and wealthy. You still decided on getting divorced. Is there something unknown about him privately?"

Yes, he acted like a madman privately despite his usual serious demeanor when things didn't go his way; he could lash out anytime by biting someone off if provoked enough.

Mavis thought silently without speaking up.

"Mrs. Callahan, there are insiders who claimed that some time ago Mr. Callahan blocked off an airport extensively just so he could stop your plane from taking off. Can you explain what happened that day?"

"Mrs. Callahan, some former employees who left the Callahan Group said that you used work there before but suddenly resigned afterwards. Did your relationship problems start then?"

"Mrs. Callahan, I heard that Mr. Callahan had a mistress at the Callahan Group before..."

"Mrs. Callahan..."

A swarm of questions flooded in, making it difficult for Mavis to even speak.

But soon, the head of Padilla Group stepped forward to maintain order and announced that Mavis was tired and would not answer any more questions, dismissing all the reporters.

The sound abruptly stopped, and the video content ended as a result.

At his desk, Anthony looked stern with a chilling expression.

"The worm turns. This is her counterattack. She has made progress since five years ago by using public opinion to achieve her goals."

Zack looked anxious. "Originally Mrs. Callahan's announcement about her death five years ago being fake news wouldn't have such a big impact on the stock market of the Callahan Group. But now with her openly announcing divorce and related keywords like 'Callahan Group CEO couple separated for many years' trending on social media sites taking up several top spots. Look at this."

He handed Anthony an iPad displaying news search results.

"Hold a press conference, help clear out the crowd and guide public opinion by intentionally releasing news about having an affair with me. Is that your idea?" Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

Bryleigh stopped pretending. "You know me well enough, Anthony. My ideas aren't bad, are they?"

He squinted his eyes with anger brewing inside him, "You don't know what you're doing."

Bryleigh immediately coaxed him, "Don't be angry, Anthony. Although it's my idea, Mavis begged me for help because she doesn't love you anymore! If you continue like this, both of you will only suffer more pain from each other."

She took out a small recorder from her branded handbag and said persuasively, "If you don't believe me, listen carefully yourself. She said it herself."

--"You want Anthony but I don't care about him! I'll give him to you and Mrs. Callahan's position will also be given up! I'll divorce but only want our son!"

She tried to persuade further, "See how determined she sounded when begging for my help? When she says she doesn't care about you, her whole expression shows disgust towards you! Why bother putting in effort for such woman? It's better if you just get divorced."

Anthony leaned back into his chair looking gloomy while exhaling smoke silently.

"If you're worried that divorce will bring losses to Callahan Group's stock market value, then as long as you order it, I can stop the plan immediately or even guide public opinion towards Mavis instead. I heard that bitch has already had an affair overseas with someone named..."

Crack--!

Before Bryleigh could finish speaking, Anthony suddenly grabbed an ashtray on the table and threw it heavily onto ground shattering into pieces. The burning ember at his fingertips seemed like someone else's fury hidden beneath calmness ready burst forth any moment.

Anthony took a deep drag of his cigarette and chuckled, "Haven't you heard the saying that married couples quickly make up after a quarrel? Why are you getting all worked up? Are you stupid or something?"

Bryleigh was taken aback, "What?!"
