Chapter 1370

She didn’t expect the reporter to ask such a question.

Her hands subconsciously clenched into tight fists, and she was silent.

After a long, tense pause, she finally managed to answer uneasily, “I’m not misleading them.

I am just telling the truth.

I wasn’t the only one who saw Stella and Leo’s video on the set.

”

She paused to gather her thoughts and continued, “That video has had a detrimental impact on the film’s production.

I want Stella to apologize, not for myself but for the entire crew.

We need to move forward and complete the filming smoothly.

Besides, when Leo broke into the villa in the middle of the night, it caused me significant emotional distress.

I want to resolve this matter quickly.

I want to immediately recover and return to filming.

”

“You always claim you are doing this for the crew,” the reporter continued.

“But why is your co-star Luka defending Stella despite the huge public backlash? Luka proves that Stella is a trustworthy person.

Are you implying that Stella was too naive to take Leo to the set?”

This question brought Elizabeth back to her senses.

She regained her composure, shook her head, and answered, “I don’t know.

Honestly, I don’t care about it.

The relationship between Stella and me is purely professional.

So, I can’t speak to her character beyond that.

What I can say is Leo mistook me for her that fateful might.

And because of that, I’ve been subjected to an onslaught of unwarranted pain.

If people don’t believe me, it’s their choice.

I cannot force them to change their minds.

In my case, I have evidence to prove that Stella isn’t as innocent as she appears.

Just wait and see.

”

At this moment, Matthew pulled over in front of the venue of the press conference.

Then, he reached and held Stella’s cold hand.

He squeezed her hand and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry.

Just go in there and tell the truth.

”

Stella nodded and took a deep breath.

“Okay.

Then, she opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the building.

Matthew watched Stella’s receding back.

When she was out of his sight he took out his phone and dialed Fernando’s number.

“Bring Rose here first.

Then, wait for my call.

”

As soon as Stella walked in, she saw Luther standing at the side with a stern expression.

He looked at her and said, “Are you going to finally give me and the rest of the cast and crew some answers today?”

In a flurry of nerves, Stella recalled Matthew’s comforting words, nodding firmly.

“Count on it.

This time, we’ll see it through to a proper resolution.

”

As she affirmed her stance, Elizabeth approached.

Catching Stella’s declaration, Elizabeth’s lips curled with a hint of disdain.

“If that’s settled, let’s proceed inside,” Luther declared, prompting Stella and Elizabeth to follow without a word.

As the trio stepped onto the stage, the cameras below flashed incessantly, like a chorus of fireworks.

Luther settled into his seat and addressed the eager crowd, his voice resonating in the room.

“Today’s press conference aims to address recent rumors.

We’re here to provide clarity to the public and ensure the smooth continuation of our movie’s production.

With that, he passed the microphone to Stella.

Stella grasped the microphone firmly, meeting the gaze of countless cameras.

Drawing a deep breath, she began, “Leo and I were indeed involved romantically before.

”

Her admission elicited gasps and murmurs throughout the venue.

Stella’s typically serene eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Her grip on the microphone tightened almost imperceptibly.

“But we haven’t been in touch for years.

Then, out of nowhere, Leo showed up on set, using Elizabeth’s makeup artist to drug and attempt to assault me.
