Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 182 - 182: A Bitter Smile Touched His Lips

"Miss Lily, why did you say Miss Shultz doesn't deserve the name of the spokesperson?" Asked one reporter eagerly.

Lily snorted, pointing to Savannah, "Why did JK choose her as the spokesperson for its new game? Do you ever think about it? There are so many beautiful models and superstars, and what sets her from all those excellent women? Oh, because it is good? Come on, even I have more experience than her! Why didn't JK pick me? She hadn't even attended a competition or selection! She got the chance only because she has an affair with JK's boss! She was chosen by default!"

Her words brought on a storm!

The reporters wondered how a small model could become JK's spokesperson but didn't go into that. Since Lily raised this question, they were more doubtful now.

"Miss Lily, have you gotten any evidence?"

"As far as I know, Savannah and JK's founder Mr. Wills had lived in the same orphanage before! It's called the Mission of Hope Orphanage! You can go to check on it anytime! Miss Schultz got to know Mr. Wills quite early, and she was given this chance by Mr. Wills for their relationship. The funny thing is that Miss Schultz said she became the spokesperson upon herself! She is lying!"

Lily sneered and continued, "in fact, Miss Schultz has a promiscuous personal life in the modeling circle. She often sleeps with business owners in order to get a job. So you can imagine what she had done with Mr. Wills to become JK's spokesperson!"

The murmur swelled into a roar.

Savannah's eyes darkened.

It was ridiculous. Lily was not her acquaintance at all. Why did she sully her character by stating she had slept with business owners to get jobs? She even knew she had been in an orphanage?

Lily couldn't be spurred on by jealousy to damage her good name.

She must be ordered by someone!

The one who knew she had been in an orphanage and wanted her to lose face in public must be…

Susan!

Only she had the ability to ask a model to injure her reputation by slander!

She looked up and widened her eyes when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure behind the crowd.

It was Susan!

Susan was staring at Savannah with a sneering grin.

Savannah clenched her fist.

How could she enter the conference without an admission ticket?

Well, it was not hard to get in for the daughter of old Sterling.

She brought Lily in!

She arranged everything!

Susan's resentment of her was strong enough to have a model run her down in public. She wanted to ruin her career!

At this point, reporters were flooding onto the stage, with microphones popping up for Kevin and Savannah.

"Mr. Wills, Miss Schultz, do you really know each other long ago? Is it true that you have been carrying on with each other?"

"Why didn't you mention you knew Mr. Wills when being asked? Miss Schultz, you told a lie!"

"Miss Schultz, did you really sleep with others in order to get a job?"

"Miss Schultz, did you get an endorsement from Mr. Wills by sleeping with him?"

They posted the questions one by one sharply.

If it were not for the security guards and some bodyguards arranged by Dylan, they would have crowded onto the stage.

In a corner behind the crowd, Susan sat down on a comfy couch with her arms folded, quietly watching, a satisfied smile pursing her mouth.

Savannah's credibility had been seriously questioned.

In tomorrow's entertainment news, Savannah would be a guileful and foxy model that got the endorsement for JK's game by sleeping with JK's boss. Her reputation would have been torn to shreds, and she would be treated with contempt by everyone.

Her modeling career was mined.

Even if she could still endorse Fairy World, no company would offer her a new job in the future because of her bad fame.

Most importantly, since she and Kevin were known to have an affair, Dylan would not accept such a disgrace, and Savannah would be kicked out at that time!

"You go backstage, I'll handle this." On the stage, Kevin whispered to Savannah anxiously.

It was hard for Savannah to explain in such confusion.

What's more, he was afraid that she might be hurt by the pushy people.

Looking at Susan in the distance, Savannah composed herself.

She knew Kevin wanted to protect her. But how could she leave now? Why should she leave?

If she hesitated or avoided these questions now, she could never explain it clearly. Her silence would do Kevin's reputation a lot of harm too. She couldn't see Susan take advantage.

Walking straight up to the MC, Savannah took his microphone and gave it a gentle pat.

"Please be quiet!"

At last, the hall quieted down.

Everyone looked at Savannah.

"Savannah…" Kevin stepped forward and whispered.

"It's all right." She gave Kevin a look with her clear eyes, indicating that she could face it independently and resolve the matter.

Facing the reporters off the stage, she opened her mouth calmly.

"Yes, I knew Mr. Wills long ago, and we once lived in the same orphanage."

"Then why did you pretend not to know him?"

"So, you were really lying?"

"I don't think it's necessary to mention what happened in the orphanage. It's not a good memory." Savannah looked calmly at them with no guilty conscience.

Silence followed this remark.

"But now that someone has mentioned it, I am not afraid to admit I did live in an orphanage for a while. After my father died, I moved into the orphanage because no relative could adopt me. Those were the darkest days of my life. But with an elder brother's concern and encouragement, my life was more hopeful, and my happiness came back. I was the only child in my family and had no brother, so I thought of him as my elder brother. We are like brother and sister, taking care of each other. In order to make me happy, this elder brother often drew pictures for me. I didn't want to abuse his kindness, and I tried to live a happy life. We had lost contact with each other since I left the orphanage. Although we were not related, in my heart, he will always be my irreplaceable brother. I believe he saw me the same way in his heart."

With that, she looked over at Kevin.

Although he knew Savannah said this to make it clear that they didn't have an affair, their relationship was just brother and sister, he still felt rather upset.

A bitter smile touched his lips.
