If he offended Elspeth, he would at most be scolded, but if he offended Yelena, he would be thrown into the center of public opinion.Her fanatical fans were not to be underestimated.
“In that case, keep your mouth shut.”
Elspeth didn’t say anything to stop him, but the smile at the corner of her lips was almost irrepressible.
Yelena was truly her best mouthpiece.
“You!”
The journalist glared at her but ultimately didn’t say anything.
“Well, do you have any evidence to prove that she recovered after being infected?”
Yelena, seeing that he was still trying to give Elspeth trouble, directly took out the prepared medical record and slapped it in his face.
“Take a good look.”
Startled when a piece of paper suddenly covered his face, the journalist grabbed the paper and saw that Yelena’s name was clearly written on it.
“Even a medical record can be forged, though,” he argued.
“Besides, Miss Lynwood is so influential.It wouldn’t be surprising if she colluded with the hospital to forge a medical record.”
Even with the evidence right in front of him, he refused to believe it.
From the very beginning, his mission was to sabotage this press conference, giving Elspeth trouble and making everyone doubt her.
As such, the crowd burst into a tumult, finding his words reasonable, and the journalist grinned triumphantly, feeling pleased as public opinion had swayed in his favor.
“How do you explain these doubts, Miss Lynwood?”
Elspeth didn’t rush to answer his question.
Instead, she countered, “So you think there’s a hospital that would conspire with me, am I right?”
The journalist had only spoken those words earlier to show off his quick wit, but now that the question was thrown back at him, he didn’t know how to respond.He seethed with anger.
Elspeth was indeed difficult to deal with.No wonder the employer offered such a high commission.
This woman is really difficult to deal with.
“Well, it depends on your capabilities,” the journalist replied with a smug smile, deflecting the question.
“For you to say such things in a public setting, if you can’t provide substantial evidence, I can sue you for defamation,” Elspeth warned.
The journalist evaded Elspeth’s gaze at that.He came here to cause trouble, not to end up in jail.
“You can’t just falsely accuse me because of a few words I said.”
“Enough, shut up.”
Yelena pointed her right finger at his nose.
The journalist muttered under his breath, and Yelena, having not heard what he said, thought the journalist was badmouthing her.She got upset at once and prepared to confront him head-on.
Since it was a press conference with journalists present, Elspeth couldn’t let things escalate too much.
As such, she quickly restrained Yelena.
“Alright, calm down.Ignore him.”
Hearing that, Yelena shot the journalist a fierce glare as if saying, ‘Consider yourself lucky”
“Now, does anyone else have any questions?”
Elspeth scanned the room, and the audience, who had witnessed Yelena’s might, dared not speak up.
Elspeth nodded in satisfaction.
“In that case, this press conference has come to an end.”
“Wait, I haven’t…”
The journalist who had just been silenced realized that he hadn’t completed his mission yet and hastily stood up.
“Sir, I’ve already answered your question earlier.If you continue to disturb me, I will have to take forceful measures,” Elspeth warned.
The journalist glanced at the burly bodyguards in black standing around him at that and tucked his head.
Although he didn’t believe that Elspeth would do something openly in front of so many people, the eager expressions on those guards’ faces made him unsure.
Seeing that he finally backed down, Elspeth breathed a sigh of relief, and she walked up to the journalist after realizing he had no intentions of leaving while the others were already gone.
“Excuse me, but if I’m not mistaken, you are a journalist from ‘Moments Unveiled, right?”
The journalist, thinking highly of himself, raised his chin.
“So what if I am?”
At that, Elspeth clicked her tongue twice.
“In that case, do you know which company ‘Moments Unveiled’ belongs to?”
“And how could I not know that?!”
“In that case, what was your intention in coming here to provoke me?”
“When have I done that?” the journalist retorted with a stiff upper lip.
“I was simply asking a few questions, and you didn’t provide me with any specific answers, did you?”
“Just asking a few questions, huh? The hostility in your tone nearly hit me in the face!”
Elspeth sneered, feeling disgusted by his words.
“Are you here to accuse me now?”
Elspeth shook her head in response.
“You’re mistaken. I didn’t come to accuse you.”
The journalist, thinking Elspeth was backing down, was prepared to give her an out.
“I know ‘Moments Unveiled’ is owned by a big conglomerate, and I’m sure you won’t make things difficult for me.”
“Looks like you don’t get what I mean.”
Elspeth smirked, listening to his laughable words and observing his ridiculous behavior.
“What do you mean, Miss Lynwood?”
“Your editor is Federick Seanzy, isn’t it?”
The journalist considered it carefully, then nodded with relief when he thought the two couldn’t possibly have any connections.
“Yes.What’s wrong with that?”
“Do you know that he is my friend?”
The journalist was stunned, never expecting that.
