She would be seen as a vicious woman by everyone. She would be seen as a homewrecker, She would be gossiped about by her colleagues and shunned by her friends. There would be endless pressure and pain waiting for her.
Thinking of Aaron, Ellie took a deep breath. As long as she didn’t die, it was all bearable. She would definitely get through this.
Meeting Alex’s eyes, Ellie’s gaze was firm. “You said it. I’ll clear her name, and you’ll leave Aaron alone from now on.”
Alex said, “I keep my word.”
As soon as Alex finished speaking, Ellie walked firmly towards the front of the press conference.
Alex stood in place, watching Ellie’s determined back, unconsciously narrowing his gaze.
Haley, holding her skirt with both hands, stood beside Alex, watching him stare at Ellie’s back in a daze, and tried to suppress the jealousy in her heart. “Alex, let’s hurry over there.”
A few minutes later, the press conference to clarify Haley’s bullying scandal in Ameria officially began.
“Ellie, thank you for bravely standing up to prove my innocence,” Haley said with a proper and innocent smile, taking the initiative to show goodwill to Ellie by holding her hand in front of all the journalists.
Ellie dodged to the side by two steps. As soon as Ellie reacted, the scene was filled with constant discussions.
“There must be an inside story. Look at Ms. Thompson. She seems very reluctant.”
“The Owens family is a powerful family in Jaslands. Ms. Owens has Alex’s support, but Ms. Thompson is just an ordinary person. How can she fight against them? There must be an inside story to this.”
“That’s right. Aren’t we used to seeing this kind of thing?”
Haley listened to the discussions, her face becoming ashen. She looked at Alex with a pleading gaze. “Alex…”
Alex stood behind Ellie, staring at her face, and his expression darkened. The next second, Alex grabbed Ellie’s waist with one hand and pushed her towards Haley with a little force.
Ellie hadn’t steadied her steps when she was intimately held by Haley. Ellie tried to break free, but Haley held her even tighter.
Standing beside Ellie, Alex looked at Ellie’s obvious resistance and warned, “You better cooperate.”
Ellie’s struggle stopped.
Haley looked at Ellie’s reaction, unable to suppress the rising corners of her lips, and faced all the journalists gracefully.
“Ms. Owens, seeing your good relationship with Ms. Thompson, are the videos and photos of you bullying Ms. Thompson i Ameria fake?” A journalist asked first.
Haley smiled properly, glanced at Ellie without a trace, and then said, “You all don’t know. Ellie and I have been friends for many years, and Ellie is the adopted daughter of the Warren family, and also my fiancé’s sister.”
“Speaking of which, we are sisters–in–law,” she added.
