Chapter 99 Attracting the Public's Attention
Then, Clark called Anna, saying, "Come to my office now!"
An hour later, holding Anna's hand, Clark attended the press conference.
When the two appeared, the crowd burst into an uproar.
An hour ago, lots of news about Rachel having an affair with Charles were spread everywhere.
An hour later, Clark held another woman's hand and showed up in the conference.
It seemed that the scandal was very suspicious.
When the door bell rang, Rachel was pacing restlessly up and down at home. Eva rushed over and through the peephole, she saw Amanda. Then she opened the door in a hurry.
When Amanda walked in, she found that Rachel was preoccupied with many things, so she walked up to her, held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Rachel. Every piece of news in the entertainment circle, no matter what, will be gone as long as the enthusiasm of the netizens subsides."
Eva agreed with her and comforted Rachel at once, "Miss Amanda is right. Don't worry too much. Take care of yourself!"
"Thank you for being here with me," said Rachel with a nod.
Amanda shook her head and explained, "No, it's not my idea to come. My brother sent me here to take care of you."
At this moment, holding the hand of Anna, Clark was explaining to the reporters, "I am just an ordinary friend of Rachel. Our relationship is not like it is spread online. We have a normal superior-subordinate relationship."
A reporter held a microphone and asked, "Mr. Clark, how can you prove that your relationship with Miss Rachel is normal?"
Taking a look at Anna, Clark turned to the reporters and said, "It's easy. The woman standing next to me is my fiancee!"
The people present looked at each other, as they could feel his anger and arrogance.
But the interview couldn't be stopped.
"Mr. Clark, is this lady standing next to you was your former fiancee, Anna Bai?"
"Yes, it's her." Clark sounded so calm as if he didn't care it at all.
Many reporters knew that Anna broke off the engagement with Clark. So they started to talk after hearing this.
"Mr. Clark, the Bai Family broke off their engagement back then. Why are you still willing to accept Anna now?" someone asked.
"She is pregnant." Clark's answer was very simple.
"What?" The reporters were more excited. The topic was successfully brought to Anna, and the scandal between Clark and Rachel was self-evident. No one cared about it at all.
Clark answered all the questions asked by the reporters and Anna, standing next to him, helped him actively.
Although she knew that this man just wanted to save Rachel in deep distress.
But what did it matter? She had got what she wanted after all. And their relationship became more solid.
Now the whole world knew that she was his fiancee. She thought that the Ji Family would not refuse her easily.
Clark looked cool in front of the camera, while Anna displayed a happy smile on her face, echoing him from time to time.
More importantly, her slightly bulging belly proved what Clark said.
As soon as the press conference was over, the video of this interview was spread online immediately.
The netizens' topic changed dramatically. They were praising Clark for not being resentful. However, no one noticed his unhappy face.
At this moment, Eva was sitting in the living room watching TV. Suddenly, she found that the picture on the TV had changed.
She screamed in a hurry, "Miss Amanda! Miss Rachel! Please come here! Mr. Clark is on TV!
Oh my God! Anna was with him? What were they doing?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
After hearing this, Amanda ran out of Rachel's room like a gust of wind.
"What is my brother doing?" Seeing Anna, Amanda couldn't understand what was going on.
After watching the whole interview, Amanda was very disappointed. "What on earth is my brother doing? Why did he take Anna as an excuse?"
Standing behind Amanda, Rachel fixed her eyes on the TV on the wall and listened to every word Clark said to the reporters.
It turned out that in the eyes of Clark, she was just an ordinary friend, a subordinate who could earn money for him.
She thought he had some feelings for her, but this press conference was specifically used to clarify his relationship with her?
Even if he had to have Anna stand by his side, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with her?
A trace of frustration was evident on her face. Turning around and casting a glance at her, Amanda couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Rachel!" Amanda gave her a big hug and comforted her, "Everything is fine now. My brother has cleared up all the misunderstandings between you and him."
Rachel nodded and said in a choked voice, "Yes, it's clear. After all, he and I are just superior and subordinate."
Amanda sensed her disappointment and explained, "Rachel, don't get him wrong. What my brother said is not all true. The reason why he did this is that he wants to attract the public's attention. In this way, he not only saved you, but also transferred the risk to Anna."
Puzzled, Rachel frowned and asked, "Why did you say that he transferred the risk to Anna?"
Amanda explained patiently, "Think about it. There are so many women in the M City who want to sleep with my brother. Now that he has a fiancee, those jealous women will use every method to seduce him and deal with Anna."
With her head shaking, Rachel said, "It's not fair to Anna."
Amanda smiled. As expected, Rachel was much more innocent and pure than she thought.
"You have underestimated this woman, Rachel. She has a lot of tricks and is very ruthless."
Rachel smiled bitterly. Even so, Anna was still Clark's lawful fiancee.
But she was nobody.
Rachel took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Amanda," said Rachel with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm not going to break down because of this. On the contrary, I will cherish the peaceful life brought by Clark more. I will work much harder in the future!"
Amanda breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I hope to see you famous. You must be really beautiful!"
With a faint smile, Rachel continued, "I will have no burden from now on. I can try my best to work hard in the entertainment industry."
After comforting her for a while, Amanda went back to work as she found that Rachel was fine.
As soon as Amanda left, Eva came over to her, looking worried. "Miss Rachel, Mr. Clark has already made public his relationship with Anna. What about you?"
Rachel thought only Eva knew her best. With a bitter smile, Rachel said, "What else can I do? I just want to forget him and focus on my work."
Shocked, Eva asked, "Are you really giving up on Mr. Clark?"
"What else can I do if I don't give up? He has a fiancee who is pregnant with his child." Rachel shrugged and walked into the room.
Eva followed her and said, "Miss, don't take things too hard. A beautiful and talented woman like you surely can find a better man in the future!"
"I'm fine. Don't worry." Turning her back to Eva, Rachel shook her head and shuddered.
In the meantime, in Clark's office, Amanda asked, "Brother, is this your so-called solution?"
Frowning, Clark asked, "What do you mean?"
"You are just hurting two women at the same time!" Amanda said in a serious tone as she was a little angry.
Clark licked his lips and glanced around. Silence befell him.
"Brother, there is nothing wrong with you to make your relationship with Anna public to attract the public's attention. But have you ever thought about that? Have you thought what Rachel would think after she knew about that?
Besides, what will mom and dad think if they see it? Our family doesn't accept you to be with Anna, but now you have directly pushed her to the position of your future wife!""
"It's none of your business," Clark said coldly.
Amanda sneered, "Brother, dad and mom will call you soon. Let me see how you will deal with this mess!"
