[Bella: Thatâs enough! You guys are being so childish.]
As soon as Bella messaged the group, the two brothers immediately behaved themselves.
[Bella: Justin is investigating us because heâs probably suspicious of Axelâs identity. Axel defended me
twice, and Justin probably noticed that Asher wouldnât act like that.]
Bellaâs bright eyes dimmed as she swayed the red wine in the glass,
[Bella: In that case, thereâs no need to hide it anymore. Iâll give him the answer.]
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.
Under the publicâs pressure, Gold Corporation decided to hold a press conference in a five-star hotel
and invited many reporters.
Gold Corporation was a local small enterprise that did not have much influence in the industry.
However, the Gold family jumped into the public eye overnight and received unprecedented attention
because Rosalind announced her marriage to Justin.
At this moment, a black Maybach was parked on the roadside opposite the hotelâs entrance.
Justin watched the live broadcast of the press conference through his iPad.
âMr. Salvador, I think that the chairman has been trying to hint at you to help the Gold family for the
past few days.â
Ian said worriedly, âIf you continue fighting against the chairman, will it affect your relationship with
him? Iâm afraid that Madam Shannon will take the opportunity to defame you again.â
âI donât care if she does. I wonât help the Gold family.â
Justin looked indifferent as he continued, âMy father and I donât have much of a relationship to begin
with, so it doesnât affect anything.â
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
Justin had made his stance clear. He had always been isolated in the Salvador family, and he had no
one to share his emotions with.
Soon, the press conference began.
Under everyoneâs gaze, Zeke walked onto the stage in a black suit. He looked haughty with his chin
raised. He felt indignant that he had to hold this press conference.
âAs you all know, Gold Corporation has 32 Alia Furniture stores in Savrow and more than 400 stores
across the country. We have always had a good reputation in the industry. This kind of negative news
happened because someone maliciously spread rumors to smear our brand image.â
Ian looked at the screen and scoffed. âMr. Gold is really something. He can still look so confident even
though his products have serious quality issues. How thick-skinned!â
Justin said nothing. His eyebrows furrowed tightly.
âBut KS World Hotel was the first to expose Alia Furnitureâs quality issues. Everyone knows their
reputation. They havenât defamed or smeared another companyâs image in the past decades that they
were in operation, so I think the problem with Alia Furniture isnât just a smear campaign, right?â A
reporter suddenly asked with a derisive tone.
Zekeâs face darkened instantly. âAlia Furniture has been established for more than ten years. I am
anxious and heartbroken that something like this has happened for the first time.â
âSo, do you admit that there is a quality issue with your products? If I remember correctly, a serious
complaint was lodged at the beginning of last year. I think everyone here probably has an impression
of the incident.â
The reporterâs statement jogged everyoneâs memories.
Zekeâs face turned gloomier as he clenched his fists in anger.
In the underground parking lot, Bella was sitting in a supercar, watching the live broadcast on her
phone. She curled her red lips in satisfaction.
No one would have guessed that Bella had arranged for that reporter to join the press conference with
loaded questions.
âIn the two years since Zeke took office as Gold Corporationâs president, he has done whatever he
wanted without qualms and squandered his wealth. Their company has had frequent problems, and his
family fortune is running dry.â
Steven let out a contemptuous laugh. âI didnât expect him to be so bold to blatantly lie at the press
conference. He thinks that no one has anything on him, huh?â
âHe thought that he had a trump card. Thatâs why he dares to speak nonsense.â
Bella narrowed her eyes, looking shrewd. She took out a piece of chocolate from Stevenâs suit pocket,
opened the tin foil, broke off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.
âJust watch. If we force his hand a little, heâll show his trump card. Then our chance will come.â
