The reporter used the responsibilities of being a journalist into urging Chloe to answer his questions.
Chloe scoffed, "Say that again. Who are you trying to advocate for?"
For some reason, the reporter felt an inexplicable sense of fear facing Chloe's retort.
"Even if not for someone else, shouldn't you clear the air for yourself? Your online image isn’t looking great." The reporter's voice wavered, clearly intimidated by Chloe’s overwhelming presence.
Smirking, Chloe replied, "Who said I haven't clarified?"
The reporters looked baffled. When did she clarify?d2
"Just stop wasting my time with your nonsense." Chloe wasn’t in the mood to entertain these reporters any longer than she already had. She had given them enough time.
With a cool voice, she motioned for her bodyguards who quickly escorted her into the gated community. A couple of assistants scurried from the car to catch up.
Behind her, the crowd of reporters murmured, clearly irritated, "You fools actually believed in what that old witch said? Getting played like a fiddle, how pitiful!”
The reporters were left in confusion. Were they really deceived by that 'old witch'?
"What's really going on? Did that old housemaid lie?" The reporters asked.
Their questions were met with silence as the staff glared at them and disappeared behind the apartment doors, leaving the reporters scratching their heads.
"What just happened? When did she clarify?" Some were confused.
Almost every major news outlet from P City was present. Yet none of them had received any news of Chloe's alleged clarification.
When was her clarification? Some reporters were confused but realized out of the blue, starting to browse the internet.
Suddenly, a buzz arose as several reporters checked their phones. In minutes, a trending hashtag appeared on Twitter: #TheTruthBehindTheHarperFamilyStaffWalkout.
The trending topic was initiated by the same magazine company that Chloe had handed the USB drive to. The top post under the hashtag had already garnered close to 50,000 comments in less than ten minutes. The title in the post was also concise. In addition, there was a clear and colorful video.
The video showed Addie lounging on a patio, bossing around the house staff in a manner both haughty and distasteful. Her attitude, with a touch of authority, was as ugly as it could be. It revealed her mistreatment, including making a staff member kneel while cleaning and deliberately dropping apple cores for them to pick up. Also her vicious words towards other maids were recorded in the video.
The comments were full of outrage and disgust towards Addie.
"Ms. Summers appearing in time was just fantastic; watching her stand up to Addie was satisfying!"
The onlookers were watching, feeling quite satisfying. There was nothing more satisfying than knowing the secret fights among the wealthy people. In less than a quarter of an hour, this topic had already reached the trending status.
Because this gossip, from its beginning till Addie stepping forward to explain and change the situation, and now the big reversal, all happened in just one afternoon. To be precise, it was less than three hours. The pace was too fast and dramatic, and the situation of turning and re-turning in a short time was constantly affecting everyone's emotions.
Emotions had reached their peak!
Within the mainstream magazine companies in P City, everyone was excited and couldn't contain themselves.
The reporter favored by Chloe was sitting in a chair and looking at the skyrocketing data online, his whole brain was still in a stunned state. He was still holding the USB drive that Chloe gave him. Although his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, his mind was playing Chloe's advice over and over again.
She said, "Don't rush to make it public immediately, you need to wait. If you insist on rushing and want to announce it right away, believe me, the consequences will definitely be disastrous. How to make it achieve its maximum value depends on your judgment."
So what she made him wait for was this press conference by the Harper Group, wasn't it?
She anticipated it long ago, that there would be this press conference.
