Chapter 323 The Show Begins
Harper gave Lenora a choice, but it didn't mean she was off the hook.
Lenora had her fans attack Agnes's kindergarten, which was unforgivable.
Whether someone else was behind Lenora or not, it showed she was inherently bad.
As a public figure, instead of being a good role model, she used her influence for evil. She deserved condemnation.
Lenora sneered, "You're hilarious. Do I need your help?"
To her, Harper was just a young woman starting a business in Northfield.
A beautiful young woman trying to make it in Northfield probably had shady deals behind her. What gave her the right to negotiate?
Lenora saw herself as the victim. If she played this role well, money and fame would follow. She said harshly, "Who do you think you are? Just a cheap woman who sells her body. Mind your own business."
Harper's eyes turned cold.
Since Lenora was so stubborn, there was no point in talking.
Her fans should see the real Lenora.
Harper stood up and smiled, "Good luck with your press conference, Ms. Hall."
She left without waiting for Lenora's reaction.
Lenora watched Harper's elegant exit, jealousy burning in her heart.
Lenora's eyes darkened, "What makes you so proud? I'll have my fans beat you up soon."
Lenora's press conference started on time. She wore a white dress, looking pure and pitiful.
Chloe sat in the most prominent seat, sponsoring Lenora's outfit and there to watch the show.
Chloe had orchestrated this. She wanted to see Harper labeled as a cheap mistress and brought down.
She believed Harper thought she was invincible by being with Francis. Chloe had been humiliated at the restaurant when Francis threw her out, and she hadn't dared to go back.
Now, Chloe wanted to return the humiliation tenfold.
She wanted to see if Harper could still stand proudly with the stigma of being a mistress.
Harper walked to Chloe's side, adjusted her dress, and sat down.
Chloe's eyes widened. "You! How dare you..."
She quickly changed her words, "Why are you here?"
Harper, behind her sunglasses, smiled, "Why not?"
Chloe was momentarily speechless but thought Harper wore sunglasses to hide her shame. She smiled, "Of course. You're welcome."
Harper smiled and adjusted her sunglasses.
She was here to watch the show and didn't want to be too exposed. She wasn't the main character.
Chloe saw many of Lenora's fans and was overjoyed.
How dare Harper show up! These fans would make sure she left in disgrace.
Chloe exchanged a glance with Lenora on stage. Lenora saw Harper and admired her courage.
Lenora was ready for a showdown.
She started by tearfully apologizing to the audience, saying she was sorry for taking up public resources and deeply regretted letting her fans down.
Then, she launched into a sob story about her love with Maurice, tears flowing, which riled up the fans.
"Lenora, don't cry!"
"Lenora, stay strong!"
"Lenora, you're not wrong. No need to apologize!"
Some reporters were in on it, asking pre-approved questions.
"Mrs. Hall, what are your thoughts on your husband's infidelity?"
"Mrs. Hall, do you know the mistress who interfered in your marriage?"
With tears in her eyes, Lenora said, "I believe in my husband. He was seduced, not unfaithful. I don't know the woman who interfered in my marriage. If you have questions, she's here."
Chaos erupted as everyone tried to see who this woman was.
Harper stayed put. The accusations were false, so she wouldn't stand up.
Chloe, with a pained expression, pushed Harper. "Harper, why did you do this again? Haven't you learned the lesson? Why are you here, provoking the wife?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Harper, and reporters rushed to interview Chloe.
Some knew Chloe was the director of Epoch Studio and asked, "Ms. Musk, is this lady your friend? Why did you say 'again'? Has she done this before?"
Chloe covered her mouth, pretending she slipped up. "I didn't say she seduced my boyfriend before. Don't jump to conclusions. There's no such thing."
Reporters guessed what happened. "So, this lady also interfered with your ex-boyfriend?"
"No, no, it's all in the past. Stop guessing. It will upset the big shots behind Harper." Chloe waved her hand, looking magnanimous and weak. "Let's focus on Lenora's matter. My old history is no big deal."
This made it seem like Chloe had grievances but wouldn't speak up.
Some hot-tempered fans threw water bottles at Harper.
Isla, with quick reflexes, caught several bottles and threw them back, knocking down a few people and quieting the crowd.
Reporters pointed their microphones at Harper, asking sharply, "Miss, why did you come to the press conference? Are these accusations true? Did you seduce Lenora's husband and Ms. Musk's ex-boyfriend? Ms. Musk mentioned you have big shots behind you. Can you tell us who they are?"
These questions were cutting, all unfavorable to Harper, indirectly confirming Chloe's words. The scene became chaotic with fans shouting.
"Oh my God, this woman seduced Lenora's husband and other women's boyfriends. She's so bad!"
"How can there be such a dirty and disgusting woman in the world!"
"Yeah! Seducing so many men. Who knows if she catches anything. Stay away from her!"
These loud voices reached Chloe's ears.
Chloe had to clench her hands to suppress her laughter. These words were so satisfying!
At the back door of the press conference, Francis stood straight, his face stern, exuding a freezing aura.
He looked down at the farce, his handsome brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
Victor asked, "Mr. Getty, do you want to step in?"
