Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 39

"I heard that the Glory Group held a press conference all of a sudden. It seems that the president of the company, Charlie, has cancelled his engagement with Miss Alina for an unknown reason. We will follow up the following progress. Thank you for your watching. The Wilson Daily is reporting for you."

After breakfast, Lucian arranged Angus to come back home and told Leah not to worry. The more anxious she was, the more chaotic the situation became.

As soon as she turned on the TV, she saw the news. It seemed that the information collected by Hugh was very accurate.

At the press conference, although the news received by major newspapers was sudden, as the big news of the Glory Group, it couldn't be missed.

At nine o'clock, Charlie appeared in front of everyone in a black suit.

"I invite you here today to clarify one thing." Looking at the reporters whispering to each other under the stage, Charlie's eyes became clear.

Hearing the indifferent voice of Charlie, the reporters below instantly fell into silence.

"I have to apologize to Leah on behalf of my fiancee for the indecent photos and videos exposed these days." Charlie's loud voice immediately caused a sensation among the reporters.

"Mr. Charlie, do you mean that the person who sent the materials to the major newspapers is your fiancee or someone arranged by your fiancee?"

"Mr. Charlie, is there anything wrong with your sudden apology today?"

"Mr. Charlie, you apologize today. Are you going to break off the engagement with Miss Alina?"

"Mr. Charlie, aren't you worried that the Glory Group's stock will be affected by this?"

"Mr. Charlie, please answer me."

Looking at the microphones in front of him, Charlie raised his eyes coldly, "have you finished?"

The journalists withdrew the microphones in their hands, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

"I made a public apology today because I found that my fiancee framed Miss Leah without informing me. I have asked someone to identify those photos and videos, and all of them have been modified. The real person is my fiancee, Alina. In view of this situation, I decide to cancel the engagement with Alina. As for whether it will affect the Glory Group or not, I believe that doing business should be based on reputation. There's no need to hide it from everyone. It's not good for anyone if it's exposed in the future. " Charlie said in a low voice without any expression on his face.

"Have you found out why Miss Alina framed Leah?" A reporter asked.

"I haven't found out yet. I don't think the reason is important. The most important thing is to prove Miss Leah's innocence."

In the Great Garden, Leah watched the press conference on TV and was a little surprised.

What good would this do to Charlie? Even if he didn't like Alina anymore, he wouldn't have made it public that Alina had cheated on him. But if he wanted to cancel the engagement, it would be his style. He would always be the victim.

"What are you watching?" Lucian went downstairs.

"Charlie is holding a press conference." Leah turned around and smiled when she saw Lucian walking towards her.

"What did he say?" Lucian sat next to Leah and held her in her arms.

Leah was not used to it, but she didn't object to his action. "He said that it was Alina who set me up and wanted to break off the engagement with Alina."

Lucian tightened her hand and had a bad feeling.

"It hurts." Leah looked at him with grievance.

"I'm sorry." Lucian immediately let go of her and gently rubbed her slender waist. "Little girl, since Mr. Charlie is able to solve this problem, we should say thanks to him."

"You're right. After all, he doesn't have the obligation to solve this matter. The media has made it public, so I should also face it." Leah nodded in agreement with Lucian.

In the private apartment, Alina sat in a corner with her arms around her knees. The windows of the room were all drawn with curtains.

The light was on.

"Charlie," Alina raised her head slowly and looked at the man who was walking in. "Are you kidding me today?"

Charlie didn't answer her, but sat on the sofa with a glass of red wine.

Alina ran over, her eyes red, and pulled Charlie's collar with both hands. "Charlie, answer me."

Charlie pushed the woman in front of him away with disgust. He put one of his legs on the other and said coldly, "do you think I will make a joke in front of so many reporters?"

Alina sat on the ground and said, "No. No. you said you would marry me. I will be your wife."

Charlie bent down and raised Alina's chin with his hand. Looking into her eyes, he said softly, "You shouldn't have been naughty."

"Why? What did I do wrong? " Alina's eyes were filled with tears. Her face, which was usually delicately made up, was now bloodless.

"To deal with Leah?" Charlie snorted. Leah could only be bullied by him.

"Are you in love with her?" Alina looked at him.

"Does it matter?"

"Ha ha!" Alina burst into laughter. "Charlie, can you defeat Lucian?"

Charlie squinted his eyes and said arrogantly, "how can I be no match for him?"

"The whole Glory Group can only be compared to Caspar Manor alone. What's more, it's just a small hotel under MZ group. If I were the one who was abandoned by you and met Lucian, I would never look back." Alina stood up slowly and looked coldly at the arrogant man sitting on the sofa.
