Chapter 679 - Attack Of The Reporters
Chapter 679 - Attack Of The Reporters
At one o'clock in the afternoon, three major social platforms finally managed to go back on service.
A large number of users flooded in almost instantly, and the network almost crashed again.
People searched for the latest news on Lilia, only to find that there was nothing new at all.
However, suddenly, there was a media account on the Internet that made a post. The post showed an impression of Sylvia's press conference.
This account is a fairly large account, and he likes arguing against other internet users the most.
The more he posted the gossip, the more heated the debate.
The content is very simple, just a few screenshots and photos.
The screenshot shows that Robert has applied for bankruptcy protection, and Sylvia goes to an upscale shopping center to buy expensive cosmetics.
As for the other three photos, they are a breakdown of Robert's inpatient fees.
The announcement of the content made people hesitate for a moment.
Some even inquire specifically about bankruptcy protection.
It is said that the Pangestu family's company is still operating in their own hands. Even though the income after reorganization was not good, their company's debt was not as much as Sylvia had said.
On top of that, the cosmetics that Sylvia bought cost up to 50 million.
'Is this possible after bankruptcy?' probably haunts many minds now.
As for Robert's medical expenses, the targeted drug for chemotherapy alone cost nearly 400 million, so which bankrupt family still has such purchasing power?!
Sylvia describes herself as a victim of family bankruptcy and being abandoned by her adopted daughter.
But the content released by the account is saying the entire opposite.
Of course, many people are still criticizing this post.
Lilia is nowhere to be seen, explaining that it is a guilty conscience.
Maybe this post could be her own doing as a means to wash her dirty hands off the problem.
But everyone knew that the wind had slightly changed.
Still, people are eagerly waiting for Lilia's personal response.
...
At four in the afternoon, while the medical staff was changing shifts, more than a dozen media outlets broke into the Minerva Hospital after going undercover.
They came to the oncology department and found that Robert was not there, nor was Sylvia.
After a few inquiries, the group came to the surgical ward with their simple tools hidden in their arms.
At this time, Mike came down to smoke a cigarette.
In the ward, Sylvia was taking care of Leila who had just fallen asleep.
There are patients who are accompanied by family members. Some are chatting and some others are playing with cell phones.
Suddenly, the door was knocked. The sound was a bit harsh and it worried Sylvia.
Leila, who was sleeping on the bed, also woke up. She furrowed her brows and glanced at her. Even the woman had started panicking. "What are they doing?"
The sudden arrival of these people and their expressions of joy made her feel bad for some reason.
Sure enough…
"Ms. Sylvia, what do you think about the news on the Internet?"
"Ms. Sylvia, please respond. The high purchasing power during the bankruptcy proves that the Pangestu family's circumstances are not quite exactly like what you said. Is it true that your family is bankrupt?"
"Ms. Sylvia, the conference hall charges 20 million rupiah per hour. Since you can afford the fees, why would you say you have no money?"
"Ms. Sylvia, take a closer look at this list. Is this the cost of buying your cosmetics for a month or a week?"
The media crew went crazy!
After a long time waiting in the lobby of the hospital they all finally find an opportunity to get in. They should take advantage of this opportunity to get direct news.
Is today really their lucky day?
They really looked so happy to be able to enter and meet the woman. They said the crew won't be able to enter the hospital ward with a big camera. But someone suggested another way. At the very least, the journalist had to pretend to be a member of the Pangestu family who was about to visit, and they had to hide all the interview tools.
Then, reporters from several media immediately agreed. They went undercover and hid their devices.
As a result, it only took them a few minutes to get in.
That person was too kind!
At that time, Sylvia was shocked by the sudden visit of the media.
She sat down in front of the bed in a daze, especially when the flashes of light in front of her continued to shoot at her, and countless voice recorders were shoved in front of her.
Sylvia wanted to cover her face in panic, but a dozen reporters refused to give her the chance.
"Mrs. Sylvia, please answer directly! If the Pangestu family is not as miserable as you say, then aren't you openly accusing Lilia's behavior all this time?"
"Mrs. Sylvia, may I ask about you and the girl on that bed? What's your relationship with her?"
At this moment, the sharp-eyed media crew watched Leila. They looked around and found that they looked very similar!
Big news!
In an instant, everyone's cameras were pointed at Leila. "Sorry miss, what is your relationship with Mrs. Sylvia?"
"Yes, what is your relationship? Did you know about her press conference?"
"Are you a mother and child? Why did Mrs. Slyvia say that Lilia is her adopted daughter? Did she really adopt her when she was young? Then, do you know Lilia?"
All of this caught the two of them off guard.
Even Sylvia didn't react for a long time.
The press conference she organized did not specify Lilia's background.
She only told the public about Lilia's dark side.
But her daughter cannot be discredited by the media.
With this thought, Sylvia shouted sharply, and then bent down to block the journalist from reaching Leila. "Don't touch her, don't touch her!"
Sylvia' tightly hugged her while she pulled the blanket over her cheek.
Where no one could see, she had an expression of displeasure, and her eyes continued to show disgust.
She knew about Sylvia's press conference, but didn't know the details.
Unexpectedly... she is so stupid!
How come she took the media to the hospital!
Just as the medical staff rushed over to hear the commotion, Mike was back on the ward.
The six-person room was packed.
A group of reporters is almost swarming around Leila's bed.
He narrowed his eyes, stepping forward to plunge into the crowd. When he finally saw Sylvia's figure, he said in a deep voice, "Are you alright?!"
Sylvia's movements stopped, then she ordered. "Mike get them out of here quickly, hurry!"
Leila heard Mike's voice and called out to him from under the cover.
Once Mike stared at the reporter, his handsome face darkened. "Where's your professional ethics? Why do you have the heart to treat a mother and a daughter like this?!"
The media were in an uproar.
A mother and a daughter???!
