Chapter 157

smile on his face disappeared. He instinctively touched his left leg. My calf indeed throbs sometimes. Could it be that it was really broken once?At the press conference, Fairchild Corporation should have been the star of the day.Right then, however, the journalists present had obviously shifted the focus of the interview to Winnie’s segment thereafter.In truth, they had already started formulating their questions since they received news from Louis that Winnie’s question-and-answer segment had been changed to a live broadcast.They had also cut back many of the mediocre questions they prepared for Fairchild Corporation, all geared up as they waited to “make life difficult” for Winnie.Sure enough, after Winnie gave her first response, a reporter with malice written all over his face rushed to fire off his question.“Ms. Garland, you claim that your arrest at the airport was merely a misunderstanding, but from the photos that leaked out, the police did find drugs in your briefcase. According to your statement, Dr. Houghton was the one who requested that you send them abroad for medical research purposes, so it was an exceedingly important matter. Since it’s such a crucial matter, why didn’t you make preparations in advance and get all the documents in order? I believe that you wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake when you’re so meticulous and intelligent. In light of that, can the public assume that Dr. Houghton is merely an excuse of yours and that you employed certain tricks in hopes of fooling the police?”That question was incredibly caustic, not allowing one the slightest retreat.As Josiah stood and listened at the side, he couldn’t help breaking into a cold sweat on Winnie’s behalf when he heard that question.Xavier’s brows knitted together, and even Louis was prepared to “escort” the journalist out anytime.However, Winnie merely smiled. Her adaptability was remarkably strong.Not only did she give an impeccable answer, but she even placed the ball into the journalist’s court.Besides, she was also directing her words to a certain someone.“Naturally, I prepared all the documents in advance. I also never thought of fooling the police. But I was in the open while someone else was working in the dark. He wished to stab me in the back, catching me off guard. You might laugh at me when I say this, but I’m the kind of person who values my life over all else. Under the circumstances at that time, I was utterly afraid that someone would rush out and plunge a knife into me. It went without saying that following the police back to the police station was the safest course of action for me in such a situation. I handed the rest to my lawyer, for he’s more well-versed in the legality of the situation. I don’t think there was any problem with me doing so. As I said, if I really did something wrong, the law would have brought me to justice. What was more, the police wouldn’t have released me. The fact that I’m doing a live broadcast here in front of the whole world makes it clear that I’m innocent.
