Chapter 72
In the banquet hall of the Weligton Hotel.
A bunch of reporters were gathered, cameras at the ready, itching for an interview.
On Twitter, the rumor that Mr. Kinsman had abandoned his fiancee spread like wildfire but was soon
suppressed. Reporters had thought the gossip well and truly buried, but out of the blue, Gianna
announced she was going to hold a press conference.
Although Gianna was dubbed the Black Widow of the charity world, haters can count as a kind of fans.
She had a fair amount of followers and buzz.
So when news of Gianna’s press conference broke, it immediately caught the media’s attention.
The press conference was scheduled for one o’clock sharp that afternoon.
Time was tight, especially given her radio silence since the charity party fiasco. All the major media
outlets dropped. everything and rushed over, hoping to snag an exclusive.
“Did you see that Twitter trending topic about Mr. Kinsman abandoning her? Do you think it’s true?”
“Who knows? But who’d have thought even high society has its fair share of people who abandon his
fiancee, huh?”
“Who cares if it’s true or not? As long as it is a hot topic, even fake news is good news!”
“That’s right!”
In the midst of the reporters’ chatter, Gianna emerged in a light pink princess dress. The atmosphere
on-site immediately reached a fever pitch.
In the lounge, Gianna had just hung up on a call with Dean. She was both fuming and frustrated.
Dean was her biological father. How could he talk about her like that?
Gianna’s emotions churned, her eyes welling up, making her look all the more pitiable.
Gianna took a seat, looking like a startled bunny.
“Miss Clarke, is today’s press conference because of the trending topic on Twitter?”
“Did Mr. Kinsman really abandon you?”
“It is said on Twitter that the president of the International Council of Nonprofits meddled in your
relationship with Mr. Kinsman, is it true? And who is this president?”
As soon as Gianna appeared, the reporters fired questions at her left and right.
Not far off, cameras rolled as the press conference began.
In front of Gianna were several smartphones, each one live streaming on a different platform.
Gianna’s goal was to maximize exposure and attention.
Caroline gave her a discreet thumbs-up from backstage, and Gianna looked up, her face pale.
“Hi, everyone. I invited you here today to set the record straight on one thing: the Twitter rumors are
bogus. Mr. Kinsman has been nothing but good to me and never abandoned me. I don’t usually care
what people say about me online, but Mr. Kinsman means a lot to me. Please don’t misunderstand
him…”
Gianna’s tone was gentle and calm, and she even hesitated for a moment as she spoke. This made
people suspect that this press conference was an attempt to whitewash Mr. Kinsman.
Some even suspected that Gianna was forced to lie here and defend Mr. Kinsman. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As soon as Gianna finished speaking, the crowd went nuts.
“Miss Clarke, did Mr. Kinsman ask you to say that?”
“Miss Clarke, are you worried because the homewrecker is the president of the International Council of
Nonprofits?”
“Miss Clarke, please tell us the truth.
Seeing that everyone had jumped to the conclusion that the homewrecker was involved, Gianna was
over the moon.
That was exactly what she wanted.
The homewrecker she brought up might have been questioned, but if everyone helped dig it out, it
would be much more
credible.

Gianna wanted to use everyone’s power to smear Olivia in one fell swoop!
“As for the homewrecker on Twitter, I can only say that the president of the International Council of
Nonprofits is indeed interested in Mr. Kinsman, but this is all her one-sided pursuit of him, so please
don’t misunderstand Mr. Kinsman. The news on Twitter may not be true. Just like the farce I caused at
the charity event before, I was hurt like this because I accidentally offended the president…”
Gianna sighed with some grievance and then lowered her head.
It seemed that she was crying.
Gianna’s reaction made the reporters present instantly smell blood in the water.
The crowd went nuts.
“Miss Clarke, so that’s why the president of the International Council of Nonprofits framed you at the
dinner party and meddled in your relationship with Mr. Kinsman, right?”
“The president has always been mysterious. Miss Clarke, can you tell us her identity?”
Good job, good job. They’re finally getting to the heart of the matter.
Seeing that everything was going according to plan, Gianna was thrilled.
*She… In fact, everyone has seen her at the charity dinner. Her name is the same as my sister’s. I
thought she was as kind and lovely as my sister, but I didn’t expect her to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
She took everything from me and shattered my world…”
She played the part of a fragile beauty in grief.
On all the major platforms, many netizens had begun to condemn the president mentioned by Gianna.
There were even netizens who combined the morning’s trending topic with the news of the charity party
to piece together the true identity of the president.
The woman who entered the venue on the red carpet with Mr. Kinsman at the charity dinner, and the
one who posed for a family photo with young Mr. Kinsman during his birthday party. They were still
trending and had become Mr. Kinsman’s new flame. They were obviously the same person.
Olivia, the home-wrecker, busted!
Netizens cracked the case in no time flat under Gianna’s guidance.
Then, a barrage of insults began to target Olivia.
In just a few minutes, someone had whipped up an article specifically to clear Gianna’s name, titled
“The Charity Princess of Melburgh, Gianna Clarke, the Most Innocent Victim.”
As soon as this article was issued, it instantly garnered countless shares and comments.
For a time, the innocent image of the Charity Princess was swiftly restored under the netizens’
relentless support.
In the era of the internet and short memories, many keyboard warriors watching the drama unfold had
completely forgotten Gianna’s fraudulent charity deeds.
Their Charity Princess had been wronged!
In their eyes, Gianna was like a delicate flower tormented by a wicked woman. They were fiercely
defending her with their keyboards.
Looking at her phone screen, Gianna saw the tide of netizen comments had completely turned. She
was so happy she nearly burst out laughing.
Especially when Gianna saw a netizen writing a post titled “The Real Black Widow, Olivia Clarke,”
furiously slamming “Olivia the mistress, disgusting!” She could almost feel her world brightening up
again.
Reporters at the scene were also keeping an eye on the live stream displayed on the banquet hall’s big
screen. Seeing the change in netizens’ comments, their focus quickly shifted.
“Miss Clarke, what’s your relationship with Mr. Kinsman now?”
“We’re going strong. At the birthday party last night, although Olivia took a photo with Mr. Kinsman and
blasted it all over the internet, Mr. Kinsman was actually with me the entire time. We’ve always planned
to have a child together…”
Gianna talked nonsense with feigned shyness and timidity.
Simultaneously, Gianna debunked the trending topic on Twitter, “Mr. Kinsman’s New Flame, a Family of
Three.” Reporters seemed to have a sudden epiphany, and netizens on the platform started to
grumble.
