The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2330

My conscience was clear because he chose to trust me unconditionally.

"The reason why those people did all that is that they want nothing more than to be verified. It’d be enough if we don’t give them the opportunity to continue spreading rumors and causing trouble."

With Theo’s guidance, I knew what to do next.

I did not delay in coming up with a solution. Shannon told Marius my plan, and he agreed.

"I jinxed it. I shouldn't have mentioned this back then. The current situation is getting more and more outrageous." Shannon knew Marius and I must feel uncomfortable being pushed to the cusp of public opinion, but no one wanted this matter to spread so fast. People were even making malicious speculations now.

"Shannon, don't think about it anymore. Just deal with the things at hand now. We’ll solve the rest one by one."

Thus, a press conference was held the day after the discussion between the two companies to respond to the reporters’ special reports.

After consultations between all parties, Marius and I issued our statements as representatives of our companies.

Theo knew I needed his support at this time, so he never left my sight.

"I’ll always be here with you."

"Alright."

I still felt nervous for no reason about appearing in front of the public. I was afraid that something might go wrong and that everything would not end.

Shannon and Theo were both watching a live broadcast of the press conference in the background. Everyone present had been checked in case of accidents.

Marius sneered. He knew from the very beginning that these people would be difficult to deal with. "Our company can't afford such enthusiasm."

"What does that mean? Does that mean something is really going on with you two..."

Before those people could pry to the bottom of Marius' words, I adjusted my mood and said, "Yes, I’ve known Marius for far longer than what everyone thinks and have always treated him as a younger brother. I care for him like how I care for my three children.

"What's more, with Marius’ qualities, he has no problem finding someone for himself. Naturally, he won't have any other feelings for me.”

It was hard to convince these people with words alone. Marius inevitably felt something off in his heart, but he still agreed with a smile on his face. He added that he was surrounded by thousands of beautiful women and that he always referred to me as his sister in private.

In the end, a video of the entire press conference was released, and the rumors fell apart.
