Chapter 401: 354: Press Conference (1)
Translator: 549690339
Daisy Zane announced an press conference around six in the afternoon, and by six-thirty, Allonzo Hobson had contacted the major media outlets to spread the news.
So, the first thing Hill Dawson saw after getting off the airplane was this news.
She almost fainted at the airport.
She came to discuss a solution, but now the press conference was already being set up.
Could she really say goodbye to being an agent?
She truly felt useless.
The conference was scheduled for 8 o’clock. As soon as the news broke, it immediately shot to the top of the trending topics.
After Amelia Miles saw the news, she immediately tried to get in touch with Bonnie Maxwell but couldn’t get through no matter how many times she called.
She was really afraid of Daisy Zane’s power. In the past, Daisy could always track her down. Especially in the parking lot incident, Daisy had almost strangled her to death.
Amelia still felt lingering fears even now.
And she suddenly couldn’t get in touch with Bonnie.
With a restless heart, Amelia paced back and forth in the living room, feeling her heartbeat quicken with each step.
At seven o’clock, she called Bonnie again but still got no answer.
But no one came looking for her either.
So, in the midst of extreme anxiety, Amelia forced herself to calm down.
After all, Bonnie was part of the Celestial Pivot and had taken action within the organization.
Even the most formidable hacker would be no match for the Celestial Pivot.
Otherwise, the Celestial Pivot would have fallen by now.
As she thought about this, Amelia’s thumping heartbeat gradually stabilized.
She considered her options and dialed another number.
It was the man who had delivered the man from Cold Green Village to the Imperial Capital.
She asked him to pick up the man from Cold Green Village and bring him to the press conference scene.
In that remote and backward place, Cold Green Village, there was no surveillance or signals. She didn’t believe Daisy could produce any evidence.
Perhaps the press conference was just a staged event by the agent and the PR team to let Daisy cry and gain sympathy.
A beautiful woman shedding tears and showing weakness would inevitably garner sympathy from many people.
Then, with the help of paid trolls controlling public opinion and 100% biased fans, the tide of public sentiment would turn.
Amelia was well versed in these tricks of the entertainment industry.
If Daisy wanted to repair her public image and clarify the matter, Amelia wouldn’t let her have her way.
She would make sure Daisy fell from grace and returned to Cold Green Village.
And have the Clark Family drive her out of their home
The press conference was held at the hotel where last year’s Spotlight Gala took place.
At seven forty-five, reporters and media personnel filled both the inside and outside of the venue.
There were also many fans rallying outside.
They were all there to support Daisy Zane.
The fans were divided into two groups, one shouting for Catherine, and the other for Daisy.
At first, they were quite friendly. But after a few rounds, the groups started competing against each other.
It became a contest of who could shout louder.
“We will always believe in Catherine!”
“We will always support Daisy!”
“Catherine!”
“Daisy!”
“Catherine!!”
“Daisy!!”
Those who knew it was a rally for a single person, and those who didn’t, thought the fans from both sides were fighting.
Three cars were parked across the street. Daisy Zane watched the fans at the entrance and listened to their chants.
Harton Clark said, “The test results are in, there are indeed traces of drugs in the man’s blood.”
Harton Clark’s men had disguised themselves as Amelia’s people, telling the man that he needed a medical check for a residence permit. Even temporary residents needed to apply for one.
The man didn’t suspect anything and immediately cooperated with the doctor during the examination, having his blood drawn.
Afterward, when the doctor left and reported back to Harton Clark, he even added in a message that it was unfortunate that people without education and living in harsh conditions could be so easily deceived.
“Is it serious?” Daisy Zane asked.
“It’s not life-threatening for now.”
Daisy Zane didn’t dwell on this issue too much. As long as it didn’t hinder her clarification efforts, she wasn’t bothered about the rest.
“Where are they now?”
Harton Clark sent a message and a few seconds later said, “Ten minutes.”
Daisy Zane nodded slightly as she listened to the fans outside.
Originally, Harton Clark’s men planned to continue posing as Amelia’s people and bring the man from Cold Green Village to the press conference.
Daisy wanted to confront him face to face.
But after Holt Lawrence secretly listened in on Amelia’s phone call and informed Daisy, Harton Clark didn’t let his men take action.
They just kept following them.
“Michael Jackson, go buy some drinks and throat protection for those people outside later,” Daisy Zane said.
Michael Jackson, who was seated in the driver’s seat, looked in the direction of Daisy’s gaze and understood whom she was referring to: “Alright.”
