Chapter 170 Just Be Yourself
Pearl asked him, "Can we go to Francina earlier?"
Oscar didn't say anything, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
As the smoke cleared, Pearl also noticed the depth in his eyes.
Oscar didn't understand.
Clearly, Pearl and Adrian were so close, yet now she was here asking if the trip to Francinacould be advanced.
"If you want to cancel, then cancel. Mr. Brown, do you have anything else?" Seeing that Oscar didn't answer, Pearl stopped seeking his response.
Oscar halted his thoughts and said calmly, "Make me a cup of coffee."
"Okay."
Pearl responded.
In just two minutes, Pearl brought Oscar a cup of hot coffee.
The coffee for guests was different from the coffee he drank.
Oscar liked green coffee.
"You will still handle the Johnson Group. Tomorrow night, come with me to Emerald Peak Estate."
Facing Oscar's low-voiced instructions, Pearl had no objections.
However, as Pearl walked out of the office, a notification popped up in the class group chat: [Due to time constraints, Matthew's birthday party has been moved up to 9 PM tomorrow night.]
Tomorrow night.
Oscar had just said to go with him to Emerald Peak Estate to meet Aurora tomorrow night.
Pearl privately contacted Daniel: [I won't be able to attend tomorrow. I'll send you 500 dollars, please pass it to Matthew for me.]
[Okay.]
Daniel quickly replied, accepted the money, and sent another message. [Take care of yourself.]
Pearl didn't pay much attention to it.
But Daniel knew Pearl was now pregnant, so it was normal for her not to attend such late-night events that involved drinking.
About an hour later, Oscar walked out of the CEO's office.
He passed by Pearl's desk without saying anything.
However, he sent her a message: [Don't forget to prepare dinner.]
[Got it.]
So, Pearl left work on time at 5:30 PM and went home.
She bought a lot of groceries at the supermarket.
Unexpectedly, she saw Oscar on the display screen on the supermarket wall.
Oscar was wearing a black custom-made suit.
Oscar, like a gentleman, escorted Haley step by step to the cameras.
Oscar stood not far away, his gaze fixed on Haley.
Haley stood in front of the microphone, her face exquisitely made up, with a noticeable smile at the corner of her mouth. "Hello, everyone, thank you for coming all this way today."
"I asked you here to clarify something. The liquid vitamin supplement that Auntie Brown asked Pearl to give me was not poisoned by anyone. I unknowingly consumed other toxic food at the same time. Here are my medical reports. I apologize for the negative impact this has had on Pearl."
After speaking, Haley bowed to the camera.
Pearl found it very amusing.
If Haley truly felt sorry for Pearl, why hadn't Pearl received Haley's apology directly? This press conference was clearly for the netizens of Willow Creek.
"Miss Garcia, the medical report is from two days ago. Why are you only revealing it now? Since this incident negatively impacted Pearl, why isn't Pearl present?"
The reporter's question was very pointed.
Haley's body wavered, and she almost stumbled.
At the moment Haley was about to fall, Oscar supported her by the waist.
Today, Haley was wearing a long white dress, her long hair naturally falling over her shoulders.
Under the high-definition camera, Haley's face looked so pale.
Haley smiled gently, with a hint of guilt. "This was never my intention. I never expected Pearl to be cyber-attacked. When I got the medical report, I was very worried."
As she spoke, Haley lowered her head in shame.
Oscar stood beside Haley, facing the camera with a sharp look. "This is a press conference. There was no poisoning, no framing. Some marketing accounts need to stop here."
Oscar's face was grim, his whole demeanor shrouded in hostility.
Oscar's height was imposing on camera.
Seeing this, Pearl was a bit stunned.
Oscar could unconditionally stand by Haley's side, giving her a strong sense of security. To Pearl, he was always cold and distant.
Only Haley could make Oscar go to such lengths!
Just as Pearl was about to turn away, subtitles appeared on the screen again.
The camera zoomed in on Oscar, focusing on his face. "Mr. Brown, are you defending Miss Garcia due to public duty or personal reasons?"
"Both."
Oscar said.
As the subtitles appeared, Pearl felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
Pearl found it hard to breathe.
But another reporter asked: "Mr. Brown, are you and Miss Garcia getting married soon?"
Before Oscar could answer, Haley interjected. "That's our privacy. If there's good news, we'll be sure to inform everyone first."
Haley then took Oscar's arm, looking very gentle.
At this moment, Pearl couldn't watch any longer.
Haley and Oscar were dressed in black and white today a perfect match of a handsome man and a beautiful woman..
"Are you going to check out or not? If you're not buying, don't hold up the line!" Suddenly, an annoyed female voice came from behind.
Pearl made a decision. "Give me a large shopping bag."
Oscar defending Haley was inevitable.
Pearl had long known that she needed to get used to everything slowly.
Haley's return to the country and Oscar's establishment of an entertainment company for her destined the entanglement between Oscar and Haley.
Not to mention holding a press conference to defend Haley.
One day, if Oscar and Haley announced their wedding date, that would be normal too.
Pearl now just needed to be herself.
In the Bentley.
Haley admitted her mistake to Oscar. "Oscar, I'm sorry for deciding on my own earlier. But this way, we can shift the attention away from Pearl ."
"I understand."
Oscar didn't say much more.
Seeing his expression, Haley knew he was unhappy.
Haley kept silent for a while, then cautiously said to Oscar, "Oscar, I'd like to apologize to Pearl in person."
"She's been very busy lately."
Oscar think Haley didn't have to appear in front of Pearl again.
Haley understood and changed her approach. "Then can I go see your mother?"
Oscar's voice was cold. "I'm not restricting your freedom."
Haley said softly, "The media is watching now, and I came in your car. I thought it wouldn't be good to take a cab after getting out. If you're busy, then I won't go."
"As you wish."
Oscar showed no strong emotions.
However, Haley noticed his expressionless face.
Haley had no choice but to say, "Then take me back to my apartment."
"Harold, to the apartment." Oscar immediately ordered.
Harold complied right away. "Yes."
About half an hour later, Harold drove the car to Haley's apartment .
