“That day… The fire… I…” Averie would never expect Vera to hypnotize her in public. 

“You were wearing a pair of red high heels. You knew Vera was pregnant, but you kicked her down anyway, did you?” Vera kept hinting at Averie to tell everyone about the crime she had committed 

back then. 

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t mean to. Someone… Someone directed me to…” 

“Who at?” Vera was expecting to hear the name of Carlos. Suddenly, a man shouted, “Enough!” 

Only Carlos had that cold voice and icy manner. 

He rushed onto the stage to protect Averie. Meanwhile, the Monroe family’s bodyguards stood before Vera, glaring at her as if they were ready to pounce and tear her apart. 

Vera felt strained by all this and had to stop applying hypnosis. 

She cried inside, ‘It was so close! Damn it!‘ 

Carlos clarified, “Today’s press conference is for Averie’s signing a contract with Glory World Entertainment. She won’t answer any irrelevant questions.” 

Carlos’s every word was heavy. They were like huge rocks smashing toward Vera’s head and piling up on her to cause her to suffocate. 

Vera gritted her teeth and thought, ‘I have died once. It’s ridiculous if I get scared of those threats “Mr. Monroe, don’t you have anything to say to your deceased wife?” When Vera finished speaking, Carlos raised his hand and gestured for the bodyguards to chase her out. 

“Are you scared of something?” Vera roared as the Ford family’s bodyguards shielded her from the attacks of the Monroe family’s security. “Are you scared that the world will find out you’re responsible for your first wife’s death?” 

Everyone present fell silent, and the air seemed to be frozen. 

Carlos was so furious that veins popped up on his forehead. He screamed inside, ‘No one can say a word about Vera!‘ 

Carlos’s eyes were filled with flames that could burn anything to ashes. He pointed at Vera below the stage and ordered, “Bring her up.” 

Vera rarely saw Carlos was furious. Only then did she feel scared. 

One of the Ford family’s bodyguards pushed Vera, signaling her to leave immediately. 

Everyone was well aware that getting caught by Carlos meant enduring countless tortures.

Vera stomped and escaped quickly according to the retreat route she had planned. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Catch her!” Carlos insisted on capturing that reporter. He talked to himself, ‘I would like to know how come James dares to cause trouble to me!‘ 

The Monroe family’s bodyguards swarmed over after receiving the order. 

The Ford family’s bodyguards tried their best to stop them. Unfortunately, the enemies were 

Οι mbered. The Ford family’s bodyguards retreated from the press conference hall and escaped elsewhere to buy more time for Vera. 

Jaeden disabled the surveillance cameras along Vera’s escape route, allowing her to change outfits without any concerns. 

When Vera was running, she swiftly removed her glasses, coat, and baggy pants. With that, she pulled out a wig, scarf, and high heels she hid in the corner. 

As Vera appeared in the public surveillance area, she transformed from the reporter in black- framed glasses and a pure black business suit into a sexy red–haired lady with smokey makeup and a leopard–patterned dress. 

The Monroe family’s bodyguards caught up with Vera but failed to recognize her as the reporter. Then, they turned around and went elsewhere to search. 

The Monroe family’s bodyguards did not find Vera until she safely entered a car and departed. 

However, the press conference was still going. 

Carlos denied the rumors that the Powell Group was about to go bankrupt. He also declared that he would invest 200 million dollars to develop the construction of the land in the southern suburbs with the Powell Group. 

Vera cried, “He reacts so fast?” 

Vera watched the live report in the car, and her eyes turned cold. She murmured, “Only 200 million dollars. That amount can only keep the Powell Group running for three months. Carlos is getting increasingly cautious with his money. 

“However, I’ve prepared a huge surprise at the scene. I hope it isn’t too much for Carlos and Averie!”
