Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Press Clarification Meeting, Sudden Upheaval!

Cecilia Vaughn’s almond eyes flashed with cold light as she directly switched the channel to ASC Television.

Cecilia Vaughn had chosen to become friends with Chloe Alden, that spoiled young lady, for two reasons: one, she was the daughter of Victor Alden, the top official in Stellerton, and secondly...

It was because Chloe Alden’s uncle, Arnold Alden, was the Station Director of ASC Television and also a guest professor in the broadcasting department of Stellerton University.

Station Director Alden had considerable fame both in the entertainment industry and academia, and indeed, using Chloe Alden as a springboard, he chose to promote Fiona Vaughn to a star position.

Now, with such a scandal erupting in the Vaughn Family, Cecilia Vaughn, as ASC’s leading starlet, naturally chose to conduct a live broadcast on this television station.

...

With seven o’clock quickly approaching, Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but hold her breath.

Sure enough, as soon as the time arrived, the TV screen displayed Fiona Vaughn’s pitiable face.

Perhaps to garner public sympathy, Fiona Vaughn hadn’t even put on makeup today; her lips were unusually pale, and her complexion was white, making her chin appear excessively thin.

However, her delicate features stood up well under the spotlight and high-definition cameras, and with no makeup, she appeared even more fragile and innocent than usual,

"Recently, I never imagined that one day I would have to clarify my family affairs on television, making all my fans worry. I’m truly sorry."

"Regarding the farce at the Radiant Group’s relocation celebration, what I want to say is, this matter is not as everyone imagines. These misunderstandings and suspicions have really troubled both me and my parents."

As she spoke, tears welled in Fiona Vaughn’s beautiful eyes, yet not a single one fell—a child wronged, wanting to cry but unable to, making her look extremely pitiful.

"As a child, the most important thing is to hope that your parents can live peacefully and happily. My mother has suffered many criticisms because of my celebrity status, which has truly been painful for me as her daughter."

"Today, in front of so many reporters, I also sincerely ask everyone not to pay attention to the private affairs of outsiders, whether it be my sister or my mother, they are innocent. Please, I beg you all."

She clutched the microphone facing countless flashing cameras, showing no trace of stage fright, though the tears in her eyes accumulated, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

As she spoke the final plea, the long-held tears in Fiona Vaughn’s eyes suddenly spilled over, like a string of pearls falling one by one, and she even bowed deeply to everyone.

Such a humble and pitiful posture nearly evoked sympathy from the reporters.

...

So, this so-called clarification meeting was just an emotional card to muddle through?

Cecilia Vaughn’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

What else does Fiona Vaughn know besides crying and evading the important while playing down issues?

She uses the banner of filial piety as a child yet explains how much about the relocation celebration, all covered up by saying private affairs shouldn’t be scrutinized?!

Cecilia Vaughn scrolled through the live broadcast barrage and comments on her phone. Most likely to create hype for this clarification, Fiona Vaughn and Gregory Vaughn spent quite a bit of money on hired internet trolls.

All of them sympathizing with Fiona Vaughn.

——I feel bad for our goddess; clearly, this incident had nothing to do with Fiona, yet she’s being dragged out to take the hit, and that so-called sister is just a white lotus!

——Exactly! If it truly were some stepmother harming the original wife’s daughter, then why would the video evidence come out? And it never showed that Vaughn Family’s eldest daughter’s face!

——Fiona’s sister is definitely a scheming woman!

——Hey, did you guys see Fiona’s mom’s face? It’s full of red burn scars! I suspect Fiona’s mom hates that daughter from the original pair because the daughter must have done something malicious!

——I heard someone say Fiona’s mom’s face was destroyed by the Vaughn Family’s scheming eldest daughter!

——Oh my god! If true, the original pair’s daughter is too wicked! If I were Fiona’s mom, I’d definitely hate that woman, even if Fiona’s mom drugged her, it would be deserved!

...

Cecilia Vaughn gripped her phone tighter and tighter.

She truly hadn’t expected Fiona Vaughn to use this trick, completely reversing cause and effect, pouring all the dirty water on her.

Using Florence Warner’s disfigurement to stir up fan emotions, subtly hinting that Cecilia Vaughn brought it upon herself.

Now, with such heavy malice online, and Fiona Vaughn’s tear-streaked pitiful performance, fans were starting to say they wanted to uncover Cecilia Vaughn’s real information.

But they can’t find anything about her at all; in desperation, they switched tactics to sully Cecilia Vaughn.

——Don’t you guys find it strange? That Vaughn Family’s eldest daughter should at least be a wealthy socialite, yet there’s no trace of her information, not even her name!

——Looking at Fiona’s beauty, her half-sister must look decent too, that scheming woman surely leaned on her looks to hook some rich guy!

——I agree, that scheming woman claimed she was once engaged to the Second Young Master Law, but the Second Young Master Law openly rebuked her for being involved with other men, no wonder the engagement was broken off!

——The most disgusting thing is her own improper conduct, yet she slanders our Fiona as a mistress!

——Who is the man behind the Vaughn Family’s eldest daughter anyway? Such a canary doesn’t even dare to show her face, she must be afraid of embarrassment!

——Fiona stands upright and proud, supporting our goddess for ten thousand years!

...

The internet trolls clamored with thousands of posts, just one reply had over twenty thousand likes, not to mention the shares and likes of the broadcast itself.

Cecilia Vaughn’s eyes grew deeper; she really wanted to tear away Fiona Vaughn’s fake mask.

However, did Fiona Vaughn truly believe she was the only one who could hire internet trolls?

After three years in prison, she was no longer the helpless pushover!

...

At that moment, a tall figure suddenly covered the light in front of the girl, the man looked worried.

"Cecilia, watching the Vaughn Family’s press conference live stream? You don’t look well, are you uncomfortable?"

Cecilia Vaughn looked at Adrian Law in surprise; they said The Law Group recently acquired Fletcher Properties, and he was busy, yet he returned early.

Feeling warm inside, she shook her head at the man.

"Adrian, I’m fine, just wait and watch the main event!"

Adrian Law raised his eyebrows, a slight smile on his face.

"So, does our Cecilia already have a plan?"

Cecilia Vaughn shrugged, pointing to the TV with a mischievous smile.

"Look, the show begins!"

...

The live scene on the screen was originally calm, but suddenly, a small man rushed up!

He hugged Fiona Vaughn’s leg tightly!
