All Her Secrets

Chapter 905 His Answer

The atmosphere at the press conference became increasingly tense. Paxton, unable to calm the reporters down, approached Branden for advice. ” Should we ask some reporters to leave first?” he suggested. They had identified several troublemakers, and removing them might calm things down.

“No need!” Branden rejected Paxton’s proposal. He knew that trying to cover it up would only make things worse.

Looking at Catherine, he noticed a stain on her neck and gently wiped it off with a handkerchief. “What did you have for lunch? How did it end up on your neck? “he asked.

Catherine, unsure of what to do, was surprised when he reached out toward her chest in public only to help her remove the stain.

Catherine smiled helplessly. “I bumped into a waitress in a rush, and the food spilled on me,” she explained.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why didn’t you change your clothes after getting stained?” Branden frowned, knowing Catherine well. Though she was unconventional, she had a sense of propriety and wouldn’t act recklessly. While her outfit today wasn’t problematic, it wasn’t suitable for the press conference.

Catherine didn’t expect Branden to piece everything together so quickly. She nodded slightly, confirming his suspicions.

Branden’s eyes were full of concern. ” Did you get hurt? Let me see.”

Catherine was surprised that Branden wanted to lift her clothes in public to check. She knew he was anxious, but it wasn’t that urgent. She stopped his hand and said, “It’s okay, just some sauce. The press conference is running late. You should go up.”

As the president of the Duncan Corporation, Branden was supposed to take the stage as the first speaker. Catherine didn’t want to affect him because of her mishap.

Branden decided to address the press conference first before dealing with Catherine’s accident. He stood up, holding Catherine’s hand, and before she could react, he had already pulled her onto the stage.

Catherine glanced at Branden. Despite just wearing a gray shirt, he looked quite charming. Standing beside him, she smiled.

Then, Branden took the microphone and said something that shocked everyone. “Today is a very important research presentation for the Duncan Corporation. I want my fiancée to witness this crucial moment with me.”

Many of the reporters present had been invited to important meetings by the Duncan Corporation before, but it was the first time they had heard the usually reserved president say so much.

People erupted into cheers. Those who had been criticizing and gossiping were now moved by Branden’s words. Everyone wanted to share life’s most important moments with the person they loved. A few minutes’ delay didn’t matter; the key was that everyone who needed to be there was present.

Just a moment ago, everyone seemed to think that Branden was disrespectful and that the Duncan Corporation didn’t value them. Suddenly, everyone changed their attitude and started praising Branden.

The subsequent press conference followed its normal course. The Duncan Corporation, as one of Eskana’s most renowned enterprises, had always been closely watched for its business and project research and development.

There had been rumors circulating that the Duncan Corporation had long been investing heavily in chip technology research and development. However, the corporation had not made any public announcements, so there was only speculation without any evidence.

The public relations department of the Duncan Corporation announced that they would hold a research presentation on the development of the seventh-generation chip, which immediately shocked the world. Not only that, the Duncan Corporation made a high-profile invitation to a multitude of reporters to attend the event.

What no one expected was that before the conference even began, they were treated to Branden’s public display of affection.

After Branden’s speech, the professional research and development team took the stage, giving a brief introduction to the seventh-generation chip and demonstrating it live.

Everyone present was deeply impressed by the latest cutting-edge technology. At that moment, the Duncan Corporation seemed poised to lead globally, with its business footprint spanning all industries in the future.

The research and development team provided only a preliminary introduction. In cases involving cutting -edge technology, they would only present some visual results and not reveal too much.

The reporters wanted to know more. One of them made a request. “Today is a thrilling moment for us to witness such high-end technology. We are honored, but we wonder if your company could provide some time for free questioning, allowing us to learn more.”

This proposal received unanimous approval, as not everyone could witness such a prosperous era.

Faced with everyone’s eager anticipation, Paxton had to seek guidance from Branden. “Boss, what do you think?”

Branden took the microphone and stood on the stage with the research and development team, while Catherine remained at his left side. ” Ten minutes!” he declared.

Hearing this, all the reporters erupted. It was rare for the president of the Duncan Corporation to be so generous, and everyone eagerly began asking questions, not wasting a single second.

The research and development team answered a lot of questions. The journalists present were all satisfied.

Finally, someone handed the microphone to Branden, and to the surprise of everyone, he took it.

A bold female journalist began her question, “This will be the last question. I’d like to ask Mr. Duncan. The answers provided by the research and development team were excellent, but this question is unrelated to the chip. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”

Paxton suddenly felt a pang of unease, but it was too late to stop what was coming.

The female journalist raised her voice, asking, “Mr. Duncan, what is your response to the recent uproar online about a video showing your fiancée committing murder when she was younger? Are you worried that your partner is a killer?”

The next moment, the entire room fell silent. No one had expected the journalist to be so audacious. Despite knowing the sensitivity of the question and the potential repercussions from the Duncan Corporation, they couldn’t suppress their curiosity. Everyone remained silent, waiting for Branden’s response.

They wanted to know whether the president of the Duncan Corporation would defend his fiancée or prioritize his reputation.

Catherine, standing quietly on the side, also waited for Branden’s answer, curious to see what it would be.
