Chapter 856 Bravely Admit

Just now in the office, Lucia had already agreed with Esmae that she just had to announce that the engagement was cancelled, and then she didn't have to pay attention to the reporters' questions. But seeing Lucia's disturbance, how could Esmae continue to stay out of it?

Tapping the microphone lightly, Esmae spoke to Lucia's surprised eyes,

"Everyone, I believe everyone knows who I am. Although Lucia calls me auntie and I treat her like a daughter, there is one thing that hurt her deeply."

As soon as Esmae said this, Lucia's heart seemed to stop beating and she quickly squeezed her hand under the table, signaling her not to speak.

The reason why Lucia told Esmae not to answer the questions in advance was that she was afraid that everyone would turn on her. She didn't want to embarrass Esmae, and she didn't need to explain or prove the grievances between herself and Spencer. At first, Lucia almost guessed what she was going to say next.

Esmae looked at Lucia, saw that she shook her head slightly, but smiled softly, and then continued talking. The reporters were all sensitive, and everyone guessed that what she said must be what they wanted to know, so they all quieted down and listened.

"Everyone may not know that Arthur's parents and I are old acquaintances, and because of some misunderstandings in the early years, I always regarded them as enemies. Three years ago, when I first learned about the relationship between Lucia and Arthur, I objected."

The reporters were all dumbfounded when they heard this! They didn't expect to hear such big news.

Esmae paused and then said,

"But Lucia and Arthur love each other deeply, and Lucia begged me several times to allow their relationship, but at that time, I was blinded by the paranoia in my heart and wanted to break them up, so... I found Spencer. I understand Spencer and Arthur are cousins, and once he gets engaged to Lucia, he can block her relationship with Arthur. In fact, Lucia has no feelings for Spencer at all, and I forced her to agree to that ridiculous engagement."

Esmae could feel the changes in everyone's eyes when they looked at her. From surprise to a little disgust, she could clearly perceive that in her capacity, she didn't need to explain anything to the public, nor did she need to expose her mistakes. Under the eyes of everyone, she knew that only in this way could the relationship between Lucia and Arthur be fulfilled, and besides, she did make a mistake.

Lucia felt distressed when she heard this. She knew Esmae's kindness, but she didn't want her to do this.

"Auntie, stop talking." Lucia grabbed the microphone in front of Esmae and said with a frown.

"Lucia," there was no microphone, but Esmae's voice did not hesitate, and the words were still sonorous. "My mistakes must be made up for by myself. This is for your own good, and it is also what I owe Arthur." owns this.

Lucia's eyes moved when she heard the words, and she didn't know what to say for a while. While she was hesitating, Esmae took back the microphone and continued to say to the reporters present. "But then I quickly realized my mistake. Spencer's appearance is sanctimonious, but he's corrupt. I believe everyone knows what he has done. He is really not a person who can be trusted for life. I also learned that Lucia had actually been living in the backyard building since they got engaged, and there was no feeling between the two of them. It would only make each other suffer if this continued, so I agreed to Lucia's request and agreed to cancel her engagement with Spencer."

Esmae was thoughtful. She not only wanted to explain the matter clearly, but also maintained Lucia's innocence. In the words, she had already told the public that Lucia and Spencer had never had any intimate relationship.

At this point, Esmae stopped talking, and the reporters also recovered from the shock. In the next second, their arms were raised high, and countless questions came to their lips. They all knew that they must be extremely sharp without guessing. But at this time Lucia stood up and said to everyone,

"Sorry, today's press conference ends here. Thank you all."

As soon as Lucia's words came out, everyone was in an uproar. She ended the press conference at such a critical time, which really made everyone extremely curious!

"Ms. Webb, can I ask her to answer a few more questions!?" Several bold reporters stood up and shouted.

Esmae heard the words and said to Lucia, "Lucia, it's okay. Let them answer."

Esmae just wanted to clarify the facts for Lucia as much as possible, but Lucia didn't want her to be questioned. Her face darkened. She was not angry, but her domineering aura immediately enveloped her whole body, and the reporters who stood up immediately fell silent.

"She has already explained clearly just now. You can guess the details, or report according to your own understanding, but we will not respond again. Thank you, the public relations department will be responsible for the subsequent reception matters."

After speaking, Lucia directly asked the staff to preside over the situation, and decisively reached out to support Esmae and said,

"Let's leave first."

The situation will become uncontrollable after the reporters were allowed to agitate any longer.

When Esmae was still a little hesitant, Lucia dragged her to the backstage. As soon as they left, the reporters were not reconciled. They stood up one after another and tried to follow, but the PR department acted decisively, and a group of people immediately surrounded them to maintain order. Lucia and Esmae were able to escape smoothly.

Before coming to the elevator, Lucia saw no one following behind, so she said to Esmae,

"Auntie, you don't need to say that..."

"I know," Esmae looked at Lucia with gentle eyes, and also concealed a little shame.

"But I know that you can't be with Arthur until you explain yourself. You have already experienced so many hardships. There is no need to suffer unreasonable suspicion. I hope that you can stand in front of everyone in an open and honest manner."

Listening to Esmae's good intention, Lucia was filled with deep feelings. Her brights eyes twinkled, and she hesitated to speak.

Esmae had a slight smile on her face. She felt much more relaxed when she said these words in front of everyone today.

Lucia had just returned to the office, and Kane had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't talk about any business-related matters, but said to him,

"Kane, do some public relations work. Those reporters always like to take things out of context. Maybe they will over-interpret what Auntie said. You must limit it."

"Understood." Kane nodded, turned around and walked out of the office, meeting Arthur as soon as he reached the corridor.

"Arthur, why are you here?"

"I'm there all the time just now." Arthur smiled and replied very calmly.
