\Chapter 908
As soon as Zach arrived, all the cameras pointed at him. He looked straight ahead and took the most important
seat. Cecilia, serving as the Deputy CEO of Jardin Corporation, sat right next to
him.
The room buzzed when Zach came in. Every reporter held up the day’s newspaper, ready for the scoop. Right
when Zach sat down, a reporter asked the first question.
“Mr. Jardin, is what is reported in today’s paper correct? Have you really called off your engagement with Yvonne
Young? And if so, was the decision based on the belief that there’s no longer any value in the alliance with her
family’s company, YTCorp?”
Zach answered, “Calling off my engagement with her doesn’t change our relationship with YTCorp. We work in
different areas, and their agreement with Jardin Corporation is meant to last.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore Zach could continue, another journalist jumped in with a new question, “So, are the rumors of you and
Yvonne Young having troubles true?”
Kevin firmly answered, “Please, we’re not here to talk about Mr. Jardin’s private life. This conference is for
questions about the company’s operations and future plans.”
A young reporter with a hint of curiosity asked, “Mr. Jardin, as the CEO of Jardin Corporation and a public figure,
could you please share more details during this conference?”
After briefly checking his phone, the reporter continued, “There’s speculation online that your engagement to
Yvonne Young was broken off because you’ve been in a discreet relationship with someone you’ve financially
supported for the past four years. She was studying in France and has only recently returned. And there have been
reports of her being seen with a child. Is the child yours? If so, is that why your engagement ended?”
Cecilia glanced at Zach beside her with a hint of smug satisfaction. She silently mused about Madelyn’s fate without
Zach, ‘In/your past life, you amounted to nothing. It seems nothing has changed; two lifetimes, yet no
advancement. What’s left for you once Zach is out of the picture?’
Her thoughts were interrupted by the buzz of excitement from the reporters seated below. They
were capturing every moment of the rare press conference, focusing on the leading figure of
Ventropolis onstage.
Cecilia leaned closer and whispered to Zach, “I understand you’re considering giving Madelyn an
1/2
Yvonne, Madelyn could be branded as a homewrecker. That’s unless you decide to announce tal Yvonne and Ethan
have met with a tragic accident during their overseas journey.”
Widowers remarrying was common, but Zach’s situation was delicate Exposing past scandals could devastate his
reputation. He might have had no choice but to disclose his past if he wanted to change how people viewed
Madelyn Without his honesty, Madelyn risked being labeled as nothing more than a kept woman, even as his lawful
wife.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCecilia quietly wagered that Zach would keep Madelyn’s matters to himself. Yet, without giving Cecilia a single look,
Zach leaned back, grasped the microphone, and settled into his chair with an
air of nonchalance.
“Those of you eager to learn about her,” Zach said coolly, “are welcome to a private interview in my office after
this press conference”
The rest of the reporters had picked up on Zach’s stern vibe. Clearly, the inquiring journalist was a newcomer who
was bold enough to broach such topics
“Our PR team specifically stated that we’re not addressing any private matters at today’s press conference,” Zach
said as he rose from his seat and made his way to the edge of the stage. A silent respect filled the room,
everyone’s gaze followed him intently Then, the focus shifted to the young journalist who looked to be in their early
twenties.
Clad in a crisp black suit, Zach nonchalantly put one hand in his pocket He carried himself effortlessly, and each
gesture carried an unspoken command. In Jardin Corporation, Zach was a force to be reckoned with. His influence
was felt well beyond the conference room walls.
