Chapter 149

Within the conference hall, cameras were going off non–stop, all lights spotlighting the stage.

Golden tablecloths were spread over the hastily–prepared stools. Julie and Kieran were seated onstage, with Ivan in between them.

Kieran’s assistant, Karl, stood off to the side, while Daphne sat next to Julie.

Daphne glanced at Julie nervously. “Julie, although I often interview celebrities, this is the first time I’ve been interviewed. What if something goes wrong?”

“We keep our mouths shut and just nod,” Julie said, completely chill.

Daphne looked at Julie incredulously. “Didn’t you say you understand Mr. Hernandez but won’t forgive him? Why are you suddenly holding this press conference?”

Daphne’s voice was barely above a whisper.

When Julie first married Kieran, she’d imagined countless times how they would go public, but she never expected to be under the glare of camera flashes, like they were announcing a major corporate decision.

Before Julie could answer Daphne’s question, the reporters started firing away. “Ms. Abraham, what was the tweet you deleted around noon today about?”

“Ms. Abraham, are you and Mr. Hernandez holding this press conference to clarify your relationship?”

“What do you think of the rumors that you ‘get your way to the top by sleeping with men‘?”

Questions flew left and right, not even giving Karl a chance to get a word in.

Ivan couldn’t stand to see anyone bullying Julie. He was about to speak out, his demeanor resembling an agitated little leopard.

However, before Ivan could utter a word, Kieran’s hand was already on the seat.

Kieran reached for the microphone.

But Julie beat him to the punch, addressing the media calmly, “Just like the tweet I accidentally deleted today, I gave birth to the child myself, I don’t need anyone to depend on.”

Kieran looked at Julie, his initial intention to speak replaced by a tender gaze.

It was a look none had ever seen on Kieran’s face before.
