“Because the lady is worth it.”
Jaden said without any hesitation, one eye looking deep into hers.
Years ago, he’d chosen to betray her to protect Mr. Gustin, and now, he wouldn’t choose that again.
“…”
“Don’t give up on yourself, young lady.”
“…”
Paige listened, her body stiffening as she turned her face.
Jaden stood beside her and lowered his body, his eyes looking at her pleadingly, as if pleading.
The scene was even more chaotic.
Suddenly, a shocked voice came over the stereo, “President and Mrs. Rafael are here!”
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look.
They saw a black stretch limousine parked at the edge of the plaza, the bodyguard pulled open the door, and the suited Rafael was the first to get down from the car, one hand crossed in front of his body, elegant to the extreme.
Carrie was right behind him, not wearing a long flaming dress as usual, but an extremely simple attire, no makeup, plain face.
The two of them walked forward and backward, without the usual inseparable.
The Gustin Group is ready to leave the Gustin Group consortium executives are stunned, a time to sit is not, walk is not.
Enrico, who had given up everything, was completely indifferent.
He sat with a calm demeanor, his eyes lightly sweeping towards Rafael.
“My god, ah the big news of the century, the presidential press conference didn’t take place in the presidential palace, it came here.”
“President Rafael wouldn’t think twice about excusing Paige, would he?”
“What do you think, he even dare to excuse this, is really want to A country in his hands died, you see President Rafael came to rage, the two must be to turn the other cheek.”
“Shura, ah, write the news.”
Paige sat in her seat and just listened to the reporters in front and behind her discussing excitedly.
She raised her eyes to Rafael, who was still wearing his trademark gold-rimmed glasses, walking towards Enrico with a cool look on his face, his eyes repressing some sort of emotion, not pleasant anyway.
As Rafael approached, the executives of THE Gustin Group consortium stood up to make way.
Rafael walks over to Enrico with a cold face and looks at him, not avoiding people anymore, his tone is cold to the core, “Why do you always act so recklessly, you treat the whole of Country A like it’s your game don’t you, do whatever you want!”
Started started!
It’s on and it’s on and it’s on!
The people stopped shouting, the reporters stopped making a scene, and all waited quietly to see this next overwhelming image.
Enrico sat there, did not get up, only a cool low laugh, the microphone will be placed back, pushed in front of him, “Okay, should say what to say, don’t give me a moral high face.”
The cameramen pressed the video so hard their hands were shaking.
Here it comes.
“Enrico!” exasperated Rafael, his eyes glaring at him from behind his lenses, “What are you doing, rushing to publicize your relationship before the Presidency issues a statement so you can accompany Paige to her destruction? Are you under the impression that I, Rafael, must wrongly accuse an innocent man in order to quell a public grievance?”
At those words, Carrie, who was accompanying her, suddenly turned her eyes and looked at Rafael with some surprise.
Enrico also raised his eyes and looked at him with a smirk.
Everyone at the scene was once again confused, this word … is sure that it is going to be a duel?
Paige reaches up and puts her arm around Gabriel, watching the scene on stage in silence.
Rafael turned the conversation around before turning to stand facing the crowd, bowing low and deeply before looking up again with an apologetic face, “It was incompetence on my part to let things get to this point, and I apologize to the public once again.”
“…”
Carrie couldn’t figure out what he meant and could only bow along.
“I know, there are a lot of rumors out there right now, everyone wants to know a truth, I’ve already sent people to set up a special investigation team, and will instantly post the progress of the investigation on the internet to be open and transparent, and we may still need more clues from everyone at that time.”
Rafael said gently and sharply facing the camera, “I believe that it won’t take long to find out the truth about this man-made disaster of the Ferris wheel virus.”
After speaking, Rafael swept a glance at the host.
The host immediately signaled that the media could ask questions, and with such a good opportunity, the reporters scrambled.
“President Rafael, so what you’re saying is that Paige is not responsible for this at all, is she?”
“What do you think she’s responsible for?”
Without waiting for Rafael to speak, Enrico shot an eye-knife through his eyes, and the reporter’s breath caught in his throat as he subconsciously lowered his head.
“Let me.” Rafael stood and whispered as he kicked Enrico gently under the table.
That was not the way to suppress public anger.
Carrie just pretends she didn’t see anything.
“…”
Enrico looked at him coldly as Rafael smiled and faced the crowd, “Because the Ferris wheel virus was once on Wind Island, it’s a ghetto virus, so the people of Wind Island are criminals, and so Paige, who’s been leading the charge to rebuild the ghetto, is to blame, right? That’s what you guys think, right?”
“…”
The crowd was silent.
“A few days ago, my wife bought a mug and it came back to the house and the cat knocked it over and broke it, I accidentally hurt my hand picking it up and I scolded my wife at the time, I wouldn’t have hurt my hand if she hadn’t bought the mug back.” Rafael said, “What do you guys think, did I do the right thing?”
“…”
Carrie gave him a silent look, when did she buy a cup.
“…”
The crowd continued to be silent, staring at each other.
Seeing this, Rafael restrained his smile and spoke with a serious face, “The Ferris wheel virus has suddenly reappeared in A. This is a disaster for all of us, and in the face of a disaster, it’s only natural that we’ll panic, we’ll get angry, and we’ll rush to try to quell it all, it’s only natural that I’ll do the same, and right on the way here I was thinking about whether or not to convict Paige in order to quell everyone’s anger .”
“…”
What’s going on today is that both Enrico and Rafael, two towering figures, are very honest.
One is honest about threatening people, and the other is honest about his desire to wrongfully accuse people.
What, is this Truth Day?
But two characters who had never been in the clouds suddenly looked like this, as if they had become a lot more real all of a sudden.
“But then I thought no, this is a man-made disaster, and what is the purpose behind a man-made disaster is for us to have chaos in A, for the virus to spread, for class confrontation, and for innocents to die.”
Rafael said in a deep voice, “I’m not willing to let the other side get away with this, I’m sure anyone who truly loves A, and loves this land will not be willing to let the other side get away with this, all we have to do now is unite against the virus.”
A reporter raised his hand and stood up, “President Rafael, how can you and Mr. Gustin be sure that Paige is not behind this man-made disaster?”
Rafael is about to speak when the microphone in front of him is suddenly snatched away.
Carrie picked up the microphone and looked at the reporter, her gaze cold, “This reporter, may I ask how much you know about Paige? How much do you know about what she has done?”
“I …” the reporter was dumbfounded.
