Chapter 858
A Life Debt Repaid
They looked like they were in a couple outfit.
After both of them were dressed and ready, they sat in a car and drove to the venue of the press conference.
Representatives from hundreds of news outlets were cramped in the venue and there were people everywhere.
This was the first time since Zoe fell from her A-grade status that she felt so âpopularâ on such a large scale.
She was beginning to wonder if news of Yelena being exposed was a blessing in disguise.
Zoe held Jayâs arm and entered the room.
Jay hobbled in on his walking stick, making it look as if Zoe was supporting him.
Everyone was shocked to see Jay in the room. Why was he here at Zoeâs press conference?
Of course, the media knew that Jay and Zoe were both on Actors on Set, and Jay was Zoeâs mentor.
But even so, was there a need for her mentor to appear in person?
Since when did Jay put in so much effort for his celebrities?
Jay did appreciate Zoeâs acting skills in the program, and Zoe did not disappoint him. She had never been popular among viewers and she definitely could not rely on luck.
The moment they appeared, the media went wild.
âZoe, photos of you and a little girl behaving intimately have been leaked. It is said that she is your daughter. Is that true?â
âYou previously said that you were not married and were without kids when you joined the show, yet now itâs been exposed that you do have a daughter. Donât you find this embarrassing?â
âWho is the father of the child? Who is your husband?â
âDirector Parker, why are you with Zoe at her press conference? Are you here to show your support for your mentee?â 1 âDirector Parker, how do you view the fact that Zoe has a daughter? Do you find her dishonest?â
âDirector Parkerâ¦â
It was utter chaos at the conference.
The host immediately cut in, âEveryone, please quieten down. Quieten down so that Ms. York can respond to all queries.â
That was when the reporters gradually kept quiet.
The sudden silence in the meeting room made the atmosphere tense up.
Zoe took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
Just then, Jay said, âRegarding Zoeâs child, allow me to respond to everyone first.â
Zoe turned to look at him.
She saw how serious he looked.
âFirstly, thank you very much to all for gracing Zoe and my press conference amid your busy schedules. I am very thankful for everyoneâs concernâ¦â
âDirector Parker, what do you mean Zoe and your press conference? Isnât it Zoeâs conference?â
âDirector Parker, what is your relationship with Zoe?â
âEveryone, please listen to me,â Jay went on, âYou can feel free to raise your questions after hearing me out. If you keep interrupting me right now, it will be difficult for me to answer all of your questions.â
The reporters turned silent again.
They were clearly trying their best to control their curiosity which was bursting at the seams.
They could sense that there would be major news today.
âReporters have photographed Zoe and a little girl together. I would like to clearly state that the little girl is Zoeâs biological daughter-our biological daughter,â Jay said emphatically.
Reporters were suddenly unable to process such shocking news.
They all appeared to be shaken to the core, and it took them a while later for them to begin raising questions.
âLet me finish what I wish to say before taking everyoneâs questions. Otherwise, itâll be difficult for us to wrap up this press conference,â Jay cut in once more.
The reporters tried to control themselves and stop their barrage of questions.
âZoe and I have been secretly married for four years and our daughter has just turned three years old.
Zoe has not been active in the entertainment industry over the past few years because of our family.
The reason why we did not announce our relationship was because we did not want to take up too much public resources and also hope to give our child a less complicated environment to grow up in.â
