Chapter 613 Make a Scene at the Press Conference
In the press box, a male reporter raised his hand to ask a question after reading a text message, and Spencer just allowed him to speak.
The male reporter stood up, took the microphone and began to ask,
"Mr. Davies, I don't know if you've heard of it, but there's been a rumor going around that the child Miss Webb gave birth to is actually Arthur Davies, your cousin's. How do you respond to that?"
As soon as he said that, the originally lively venue fell into silence. Even Spencer, who was sitting on the stage, had a change of expression. No one had expected that he would actually dare to raise this question in front of Spencer!
Spencer stared at the male reporter. Samuel hurried to said a few words to Spencer who shuddered. Was there really a such rumor?!
"Who is it?" Spencer asked, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth.
Samuel shook his head. "I don't know," he said softly. "Let's just deal with the query for now."
Spencer knew, of course, that he had steadied himself and quickly put on a gentle smile as he asked the male reporter,
"Where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor, Mr. reporter? Lucia and I have been engaged for more than a year, and during that time we have had a good relationship. Although there have been a few incidents, our relationship has been strong and unwavering. Don't I know if the baby is mine?"
The male reporter, seemingly undeterred by Spencer's simmering anger, immediately responded,
"Of course it's not a rumor. We journalists have our own sources. If it hadn't been so popular for so long, I wouldn't have dared to ask you in front of everyone today."
"So all the other reporters here have heard the rumor?" Spencer smiled and glanced at the rest of the reporters. Sure enough, no one stood out.
Spencer smirked and looked at the reporter. "Look, you're the only one who's heard of it. Can I suspect that you're here to pick a fight on purpose?"
The male reporter smiled calmly and said bluntly, "I'm sure they all have their own reasons for not saying anything. Mr. Davies, since I've asked you this question, I'd appreciate an answer." "What do I have to say? Lucia is my fiancee, and the daughter she gave birth to is my child." Spencer's smile faded.
"But many people have seen Miss Webb and Arthur alone in various public places. They had a very touching relationship in the past. Sir, are you sure that they have broken up completely?" "What do you mean?!" Spencer finally lost his temper. He had intended to use the press conference to improve their impression on him, but he hadn't expected to see a reporter who wouldn't let go of him. "Mr. Davies, you're in such a state of agitation. Am I on to something?"
The male reporter just wanted a fact before, but now he purposely made things difficult for Spencer.
"Nonsense! How can I not be angry with you for being so rude?!" Spencer stood up and shouted at the reporter, telling Samuel to get security to kick him out.
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward. The others did not dare to speak up when they saw Spencer's fury, but the male reporter was clearly fearless. Even when surrounded by the security guards, he even shouted loudly,
"Mr. Davies, today is a one-man show for you. Miss Webb and Webbex Group didn't pay any attention to the press conference. Is this evidence of your relationship? I heard that you two had separated a long time ago..."
"Shut him up!" Spencer slammed the table and roared. The security guards quickly covered the reporter's mouth and dragged him out of the meeting room.
The shouts of male reporters were cut off as the door of the room. However, the reporters present already had the same doubts in their hearts, and some of them had already written something down in their little notebooks. Spencer's face darkened at the sight.
In fact, everyone in the upper class knew about the rumors about Lucia and Arthur's lingering feelings, but no one dared to mention them in front of Spencer. However, looking at Spencer's furious performance today, it seemed that... it was really not a myth.
His chest heaved with anger. Spencer noticed that the reporters were all looking at him strangely. He knew that if he didn't say anything, he would attract more suspicion. He coughed lightly and forced himself to suppress his emotions,
"Everyone, don't listen to that reporter's wild speculation just now. It's all groundless speculation. I watched my own daughter be born. That kind of affection is still in my mind. The reason why Lucia didn't appear is because she is still recovering. I hope that everyone will share this affection with me so that I can announce this news in advance."
After Spencer said so, those reporters looked at one another, but nobody said anything.
Spencer's back teeth were about to shatter.
The press conference that was supposed to be lively ended in embarrassment. The reporters did not even talk to each other as they exited the room. They all had their own ideas in mind. When Spencer saw that he couldn't do it, he called Samuel to give him a few instructions. Samuel ran after the reporters and shouted,
"We appreciate your hard work today, and we Cloudwork will host a lovely lunch for you at the Liberty Hotel."
When the reporters heard this, the atmosphere became slightly lively, and the crowd went with Samuel happily.
After watching the reporters leave, Spencer stopped his fake smile and headed for his office.
As soon as he walked into the office, there was a muffled thud and a cry of pain. Spencer pushed the door open with a gloomy face and walked in.
In Spencer's office, several security guards were beating up the male reporter who had been giving him a hard time at the meeting. The male reporter was lying on the ground covering his head, but on closer inspection, his face was bleeding.
"All right, let him catch his breath." He sat down on a sofa and crossed his legs. Spencer said coldly, and the security guards then let go and moved away.
Staring at the male reporter who could not move on the ground, Spencer asked mercilessly, "Who sent you?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The male reporter shuddered, but he held his head in silence.
"You're pretty tough..." Spencer said with a smile as he stood up slowly and walked to the male reporter. Before he could react, he stepped on him.
