Chapter 799 She’s an Illegitimate Child
The reporter was skeptical and pressed, "Where's your evidence? If you can't show me any solid proof, I won't report it."
A scandal about the royal family would surely capture far more attention compared to Exotic Star’s press conference. It would be a sensational bombshell of a revelation.
The mystery man handed over a recording pen and said, "You'll know if I'm telling the truth after listening to this." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
The reporter frowned and played the recording. There was not much on it, but the things that Ophelia said captured the reporter’s attention. She repeatedly mentioned "illegitimate child" and even specifically mentioned Chloe. Everyone knew who Ophelia was. She was the apple of Carolina's eye and would not casually say something like that without strong reason or evidence.
Excitement spread across the reporter's face, and he immediately relayed this information to his superiors, securing the front-page headline for the day. He then signaled his colleagues to come over and discussed charging up to confront Chloe before the press conference even began.
Some hesitated, while others were eager to try. Security at Exotic Star was tight but they were not afraid of the police since they often engaged in similar unethical activities. They had more people on their side, and in the worst-case scenario, the police would just give them a scolding.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall fell silent. Dressed in formal attire, Desmond walked onto the stage with slow, powerful steps. His aged face was adorned with gentle lines and his eyes were exceptionally bright. Anyone could tell how happy he was today.
"Today, I have gathered everyone here to announce some great news. Rumors about me not having any children are untrue. It's just that my daughter, unfortunately, ran away from home many years
ago and hasn't appeared in the public eye since. Now, my granddaughter has come of age, and I wish to introduce her to everyone on this occasion."
With that, he turned around and waved gently at Chloe. "Come here, Coco."
Picking up the hem of her dress slightly, Chloe walked to the middle of the stage, revealing her graceful, slender legs slightly with each step she took. She had a light smile on her carefully makeup-adorned face, and her light blue gown fitted her well, lending her an elegant air.
Chloe had a love for elegance, and she had put extra effort into her outfit today, hoping to make a good impression on the public. After all, once the press conference was over, she would officially co-manage Exotic Star with Noah.
Everyone was astonished when they saw Chloe. They had interviewed countless celebrities, so they could easily tell who were natural beauties and who were artificially enhanced.
Chloe possessed a natural elegance. As time went on, her charm and feminine qualities grew stronger. Her presence had reached a point where a single glance at her would etch her image into a person’s memory, making it no surprise that despite coming from the same family, Ava paled in comparison.
However, amid their excitement, the reporters did not lose sight of their main purpose. Having admired Chloe's exceptional beauty, their enthusiasm grew. Chloe was not only Desmond's granddaughter but also an illegitimate child of the royal family. Did this mean that Desmond's daughter was a homewrecker?
Desmond and Chloe frowned uneasily when they saw the excitement on the reporters’ faces. Their eyes were gleaming with anticipation and excitement as if a pack of wolves had spotted their prey.
"Any questions from the floor?" Noah stepped forward to break the silence. Meanwhile, he gave a subtle signal to the nearby bodyguards to stay alert.
"Yes, yes! We have questions!" Journalists and reporters suddenly surged forward, pointing their microphones at Desmond.
"Is it because of your daughter's role as a homewrecker that you didn’t publicly acknowledge Chloe all these years?"
