to lie to me about it, saying that you were visiting your granny?”Winnie and Josiah exchanged glances before heaving inaudible sighs.It seemed that Xavier had yet to recall that segment of his memory at all.“Forget about what Josiah mentioned. All you need to know is that I wasn’t about to bring anything illegal abroad. Since we have decided to clarify this at the press conference, we should prepare our speech. Send someone from the PR department.”“All right.” Xavier wore a frown. Whenever Josiah spewed some odd nonsense, his mind would go blank.He was not sure what was happening, but he trusted Winnie unconditionally and was willing to extend that trust to Josiah.When they were awaiting the arrival of the employees from the Public Relations Department, Winnie asked Xavier, “You didn’t even know what I brought to the airport, nor did you have any idea what happened over there. What gave you the courage to put me in charge of dealing with the press? Aren’t you afraid that you might screw up?”Without even thinking, Xavier sniggered. “Hah! I, Xavier Fairchild, always strike first, no matter if I’m in the right.”Josiah raised his hand in agreement. “I can testify for that. He had always been like that growing up, possessing the traits of someone domineering.

If we’re not mistaken, these are the two studios behind it. After a detailed investigation, it was found that both studios have been dormant for about a year. The last time they were active was fourteen months ago. They were advertising for a male celebrity from the entertainment industry as well as either praising or defaming other hotshot celebrities who were active around the same time. All the reviews and comments on others, either negative or positive, that were put out by these two studios, were in service of that male celebrity.”“Oh?” Xavier smirked mirthlessly. “How dare a lowly actor challenge my supreme authority? Who is he? And what’s his name?”“Um…” The manager of the Public Relations Department was a little hesitant. With his mouth agape,
