A Moment in Destiny

"It's time for her to learn to make herself strong. As Brian's daughter, if she can't be strong on her own, then she'll always be the one getting hurt! Don't call her. Let her learn to face the cameras of the press on her own!"

Throughout the charity banquet, Leila suffered from many reporters taking pictures. She didn't dare say anything and kept her head slightly bowed, playing her role properly. But the reporters were not about to let her go, because too many people wanted to know about this Pippa who was standing beside Nora.

After the auction came the cocktail party. Many journalists gathered around her and Nora and Pippa. And Leila followed at her side, as Nora had requested. It was bizarre for the journalists to see the three of them standing together, with Pippa to her left and Leila to her right.

A reporter asked Leila, "Mrs. White, what is your relationship with our Mayor Brian of F City?"

Leila stalled, smiled faintly, and asked. "Do I have to be related to Mayor Brian just because my last name is Hunter?"

Nora was clearly not satisfied with Leila's answer. She immediately corrected, "Yes, Leila is Mayor Brian's second daughter."

A shudder ran through Leila. She had wanted to cover up the relationship. Although she knew it was impossible because these reporters would find a way to find out all the members of her family, she still felt she should keep a low profile. But her mother-in-law had clearly meant to tell the world that she was Mayor Brian's daughter.

Leila only felt very uneasy. She didn't think her mother-in-law was being charitable in introducing herself to the public. At least her charity would not be directed at her, or she could be charitable to anyone but the Hunter family.

Although she didn't know exactly what the hatred was for, it was obvious to her that she had a deep animosity towards herself. Otherwise, she would not have made things so difficult for her when they first met.

The reporter asked again, "Mrs. White, can you tell us how you and Mr. White met?"

Leila glanced sideways at Vincent, who was also surrounded by reporters, and smiled. She didn't really know how to answer. Because Vincent had been brought home by her sister, and she had only known him then. But she couldn't say that her sister had brought him home, and she couldn't let anyone know that he was once her sister's boyfriend. It’s not for herself but for the entire Hunter family, and Leila didn't know how to answer, so she kept her head down.

But Pippa suddenly helped Leila out, "Leila is shy. Her acquaintance with Vincent must have been full of romance."

At these words, Leila lowered her head even more in shame. Her cheeks turned pink, but she wondered in her mind why Pippa was helping her.

But then there was another bold question, "Miss Russell, the rumor has it that you and Mr. White are very close. We all want to know about your relationship with Mr. White."

In other words, they wanted to know if she was Vincent's lover or not.

Pippa smiled lightly, "You all say that Vincent and I have a very special relationship, so we have a very special relationship. We are family! Hehe ..."
