Chapter 719 I Killed Him
Eliza's reply, which was completely different from that of Demarion, made Graciana, who was standing to the side, feel curious.
She couldn't help but pluck out a piece of orange from Eliza's hand.
"Why are there two kinds of taste in an orange? Let me have a taste."
Eliza didn't have any objections. She even placed the remaining orange on the coffee table and asked Liliana and Braint, "Do you want to have a try?"
Braint shook his head. Liliana looked at Demarion and then at Eliza. In the end, she couldn't resist her curiosity and went over to pluck a piece of orange and put it into her mouth.
After a while, Liliana and Graciana showed a painful expression together.
Liliana spat out the orange, but Graciana managed to swallow it.
After eating, she couldn't help drinking water and complained to Eliza, "It's so sour. How can you eat it?"
Eliza was startled. "Is it sour?"
Liliana nodded crazily. "It's sour. It's so sour."
She quickly took a banana from the fruit plate, peeled it, and ate it. Only then did she press down the sour taste in her mouth.
Eliza ate the remaining one piece of orange again. The more she ate, the more she liked it.
"It's not sour."
Graciana's eyes widened. "Eliza, don't tell me your taste buds are spoiled?"
Eliza, "..."
Although she hadn't had a good rest during this period of time and her body was a little uncomfortable, it couldn't be like this.
Just as she was about to argue, she heard a knock on the door.
Sawyer came in and said, "The venue is ready, and the media has arrived. Shall we start the press conference now?"
Eliza and Graciana looked at each other and got up to tidy up their clothes.
"Let's go."
In the hotel lobby.
The glass lamp hung high up in the air. Eliza calmly stood under the spotlight and received countless cameras' inspection.
She had been busy and flustered for the past few days, so she didn't have time to take care of the wound on her face.
However, the heavens had treated her well. Although she did not apply medicine, the wound on her face had already healed. The scar had fallen off after it had been bandaged, leaving only a shallow mark.
After being slightly adorned by the make-up artist, this mark was like a peach blossom petal, hanging under her eyelids. Not only did it not damage her beauty, but it also added a touch of liveliness to her.
As a "the abandoned woman of a wealthy family" in everyone's imagination, many people were waiting to see her play.
However, Eliza once again let everyone down.
Perhaps in order to cover up the tiredness on her face, she put on a light layer of makeup today. Wearing a light yellow casual suit, she was less aggressive and became artistic and elegant.
She was still good-looking. She didn't look traumatized.
Some reporters were so angry that they wanted to poke her wound as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Miss Lawson, what do you think of the video of Beau's cheating?"
"Ever since the incident, Beau didn't come forward to explain. Are you both already aware of whether you've made a fool of yourself or not? Was the previous dignity of love all for the sake of yourself and making money?"
"Eliza, how are you going to respond to the news that you are also cheating on the Internet?"
"You two are so lovey-dovey. Are you secretly pimping behind the scenes? Is it worthwhile for your fans who trust in you so much by doing this?"
The questions were fierce. With infinite malice, they went toward Eliza.
Everyone thought that Eliza would be embarrassed by the question, or she might simply become angry from embarrassment. At that time, the situation would look better.
However, Eliza still didn't fulfill these people's wishes.
Her eyes gently swept over the people in front of her, who were full of coercion. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked as if she had been bullied badly.
The reporters in the front row were shocked.
Was she going to put on a show?
There were only a few ways in the entertainment industry to clear their name. Obviously, everyone was used to it.
However, after Eliza showed an expression that she was about to cry, she didn't complain about her grievance in front of the camera.
Instead, she turned around and made a gesture to the side.
Everyone looked in the direction of her gesture and saw a person who should not have been here.
Sonya took a deep breath, slowly walked up to the stage, and walked to Eliza's side.
Eliza handed her a microphone and looked at her with encouragement in her eyes.
Sonya also looked at Eliza with an exceptionally calm expression.
"Sonya? Why is she here?"
"She's a mistress. Shouldn't Eliza hate her to death? Why is she so calm now?"
"They should have fought on the spot. Why is the atmosphere so harmonious?"
"I don't know what she's up to."
At the same time, Yahya and Micah were also watching Eliza's press conference.
When they saw Sonya, their eyes were full of astonishment.
"Why would Sonya be here? Is she going to help Eliza clarify?" A trace of uneasiness flashed across Yahya's heart.
Micah also felt strange, but in addition to being shocked, he tried his best to appease Yahya.
"Even if Eliza gave Sonya a lot of money and asked Sonya to prove Beau's innocence, it wouldn't be so easy."
"The netizens are very smart now. Eliza still thinks that it's too simple. It's fine if Sonya doesn't speak up for Beau, but if she really speaks, it will confirm the rumors that Eliza and Beau are having fun on their own."
Otherwise, how could the mistress and the wife get along with each other?
Yahya gritted her teeth. "Can Sonya really be bribed by Eliza?"
She was so stubborn that she had tried her best to hurt Eliza before. How could she reconcile with the other party now?
"It might not have been easy in the past, but now, Sonya is at a dead end. If she wants to survive, she has to cooperate with Eliza. Don't be afraid, there won't be any reversal."
Yahya was finally convinced by Micah. The two of them continued to look at the screen.
In front of the screen, many people had the same opinion as Micah.
They all felt that it was Eliza who had bribed Sonya and asked her to come out to make a false statement. She would say that it was just an accident that day and that it wasn't really an affair.
Looking at such a scene, everyone was a little dispirited. There was no desire to see the plot that they had guessed.
Just as many people were disappointed in Eliza, Sonya threw out a heavy bomb.
"I admit that I am not a human being."
"There were several accidents that happened to Eliza in the crew. I was the one who ordered them to do it."
"I'll turn myself in."
When these words came out, not only were the audience in front of the screen shocked, but even Eliza's eyes were filled with emotions.
The previous plan was to let Sonya come out to explain the truth of that night and make her position clear.
After all, with the surveillance video, the truth was clear at a glance.
However, Sonya chose to confess more.
Next, she told everyone what she had done as a blackmailer. She told them about the two designs of the set, one falling off the horse, and the other sword wound. She was the culprit.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Sonya then said, "Mr. Valentine was killed because of me. I killed him."
Eliza immediately felt that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped her. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
She was furious. It was not the right time to announce that Beau was in trouble. Why did Sonya do that?
Under Eliza's sharp gaze, Sonya slowly said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm telling the truth!"
