“Do your mom and dad really not care about who I am?”
With her forehead resting against Brayden’s chest, Dolly still asked with some uncertainty.
“Of course silly girl, you can see it yourself, can’t you?”
Brayden’s voice is soft like a breeze.
“What about Leyla? What exactly is the relationship with you”
When it comes to Leyla, Dolly always has a feeling of guilt in her heart.
“The Kirkland Group family has some interests with the James Group, so I couldn’t stop Leyla from clamoring to work at Kirkland Group.
She tried to convince her father Evan to join Kirkland Group in marriage, but my parents didn’t agree. Since what happened last time, I kicked her out of Kirkland Group, and I didn’t expect her to make such a farce again today. I will not let her go this time!” A brilliant light flashed in Brayden’s eyes.
Leyla, you challenge my bottom line again and again, then don’t blame me but turn the other cheek.
“What happened last time? What was it?”
Dolly chose to believe Brayden’s words, but what the former said about “the last time” caught her attention.
This girl is too simple, actually still treat Leyla as a good friend, it seems that it is time to tell her about this.
Brayden thought for a moment and said to Dolly, “Do you remember the last time you were kidnapped and drugged out in the countryside?”
Of course, she will never forget that incident, which is a permanent pain in Dolly’s heart, and she almost didn’t get out of it at that time, and almost left Brayden for America because of it.
“Of course I won’t forget.” Dolly said heartily.
If Brayden hadn’t arrived in time last time, then she would have been with those people …
If this really happened, Dolly would definitely do something stupid.
“But what does this have to do with Leyla?” Dolly wondered.
“Of course it’s relevant, because this, it was Leyla who sent someone to do it.” Brayden said categorically.
“What!”
Dolly’s eyes widened incredulously, “How can that be, we’re good friends.”
Dolly never dreamed that Leyla would do such a thing to herself.
“Brayden, are you mistaken? Leyla has always been my best friend! This is no joke.” Dolly thinks Brayden is the one who made the mistake.
“Dolly, you don’t know what people know. Leyla treats you well on the surface, but how would you know what she thinks in her heart? If she really treats you as a friend, how would what happened today happen.”
Brayden’s voice is full of gravity, and he also hopes that Dolly can recognize something through this incident.
“But why is she doing all this?”
Dolly was in some pain, and the feeling of being counted by her best friend was a little hard for her to bear.
“Because, she probably feels that you stole what was rightfully hers, which is the position of the Kirkland Group’s president’s wife. In fact, it didn’t belong to her in the first place, it was just her vanity at work and you happened to show up.” Brayden was patient in explaining.
Maybe it was a little hard for Dolly to accept, but he made sure to get the word out so he wouldn’t be hurt again in the future.
Listening to Brayden’s words, Dolly fell silent.
Although she still did not want to believe it, but the facts are in front of her eyes, but she could not help but believe.
Dolly smiled to herself as the friendship she valued turned out to be so insignificant in front of the benefits she wanted.
Seeing Dolly’s loss, Brayden gently kissed Dolly’s cheek and said gently, “Don’t be sad, I’m here, I’ll always be by your side.”
Listening to Brayden’s slightly affectionate words, Dolly felt her nose getting a little sore. Holding back her tears, Dolly leaned into Brayden’s arms: “Brayden, thank you, thank you for always being there for me.”
“Fool, what’s the point of saying thank you to me.”
The two hugged each other tightly and enjoyed the rare moment.
“Brayden, so what now?”
Thinking that there are still groups of reporters blocking the entrance outside, Dolly asked helplessly.
“It’s okay, leave it to me to fix.”
Brayden knew it was time for him to step in and fix things.
Later that afternoon, Brayden held a press conference inside Kirkland Group.
The crowd in front of the Kirkland Group was swarming, with not only most of the journalists, but also a curious crowd who wanted to be the first to know the latest developments of this scandalous event.
Brayden attended the press conference with Dolly, who was the biggest victim of this scandal, and her reputation was greatly affected.
Brayden dragged Dolly to the scene in order to save Dolly’s reputation and to clarify and announce something at the press conference.
Brayden and Dolly appeared hand in hand at the launch event, causing a great shock to the journalists on the scene.
After the two were seated, reporters began to scramble to ask questions.
“Brayden, may I ask what is the real reason for this press conference?”
“Brayden, why did you attend this launch with Dolly, and is your relationship with each other again as it is described on the internet?”
“Dolly, many people are saying that you forced your way into their relationship, what do you have to say about that?”
After the reporters’ questions were over, Brayden slowly spoke up.
After giving a reasonable explanation to several major questions raised by the journalists earlier, it was clarified to everyone present.
“Leyla is not my girlfriend and we have never had a so-called marriage contract. As for Leyla forcibly spreading rumors and violating my image and Dolly’s reputation, I have already hired a lawyer for that.
We will solve this matter through legal issues, and also hope that everyone will look at this matter rationally and not continue to spread such rumors, otherwise we will never condone it!”
Brayden’s tone was full of toughness, and under the shock of his powerful aura, the journalists on the scene stopped talking.
Brayden’s parents were also at the launch and after Brayden finished, Otto spoke up as well.
“I also stress again that Kirkland Group has never made a move to join with James Group, I can vouch for that on my reputation, so please don’t dwell on this matter and don’t add any more worries to Dolly, the victim of this matter.”
Even Otto, the former chairman of the respected Kirkland Group, clarified that Leyla was the only one who had made up the facts from the beginning.
The truth has come out, and Dolly’s reputation has been redeemed. Dolly is finally relieved and smiling happily.
I thought the matter had come to an end, but Brayden announced a more important news: “There is one more thing to tell you, I Brayden, officially here to propose to Dolly, Dolly, will you marry me?”
