The audience thought Catherine wouldn't respond to it, but unexpectedly she stood up.
With a polite and broad smile.
The reporters behind the cameras were dazzled by her beauty.
Catherine walked toward to stage step by step.
Looking at Catherine's peaceful face, Johanna felt strongly uneasy.
“Excuse me, can | have the microphone?” Catherine asked the MC beside her.
The MC was stunned by the scene and was startled by Catherine’s voice. She handed the microphone to Catherine at once.
“Thank you.” Catherine nodded at her politely and then looked into the cameras with her beautiful face.
“This is the annual party of Meow Comics and | didn’t intend to talk about my personal matter, but now that Miss Johanna mentioned it, | think | should take this opportunity to explain it.” Catherine stood side by side with Johanna. Her stunning beauty put Johanna in the shade.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatherine bowed towards the cameras, “| am wrong.” She admitted her mistake directly.
She caused an uproar again.
“Are you admitting your mistake?” “Since you know you are wrong, why do you stay in the circle with a new identity? You are making another mistake!” Hearing Catherine's confession, the reporters becmore aggressive.
Facing the offensive questions, Catherine showed no panic on the stage. Anderson and Ethan were informed with the news and showed up in the hall. They fixed their eyes on the woman in a black dress with red lips and curly hair at the center of the stage. “I am wrong because | owe an apology to my readers and those who like me.” The red lips moved slightly.
But the uttered words were not what the media wanted.
A reporter attempted to ask questions, but Catherine made gesture to stop it, “I don’t mean that what happened was right. It was absolutely wrong. But the pictures you saw online were misleading. | was injected by someone who had a spite against me. | am one of the victims.” Instantly, the hall was in an uproar again. The reporters were commenting on what she said her and swere questioned her with malice.
Catherine kept smiling on the stage as if she was not disturbed at all. In the contrary, Johanna was struggling to have her smile remained.
She couldn't wait to push Catherine off the stage. “Stop.” Catherine shouted into the microphone. She showed a kind of strange power, causing the noisy reporters becquiet instantly.
Catherine opened her mouth, “I told the police the details. | know you are doubting that why I didn’t tell the truth at the first time. That's because | don’t know who is the murder and it hurtsa lot, so | have unconsciously tried to ignore it and forget it...” “I guarantee here that | didn’t do that on purpose. The whole issue is still under investigation. | am just a painter who draws comics, not a celebrity, so | wish the present media could be merciful and don’t interrupt my normal life.” She showed a modest attitude. In this noisy circumstance, she was able to quiet everyone by speaking. She seemed to be shining, making people trust her involuntarily.
All eyes were focused on her.
This woman was so beautiful that women would envy and men wouldn't resist.
Anderson stood in the darkness, his eyes getting colder.
Ethan was the first one to clap and he walked from the darkness towards the stage. He stood on the stage beside Catherine.
‘I believe her.” Catherine looked at Ethan for a second and then turned around, “It's Meow Comics’ annual party and it shouldn't be interrupted by my personal business.” Catherine finished and gave the microphone back to the MC. She bowed toward the audience before she stepped down the stage.
Johanna was shooting herself in the foot. She intended to set Catherine up but she didn’t expect herself to help Catherine. She was too embarrassed to stay on the stage so she rushed away.
When she went backstage, she was stopped by Catherine.
Looking at Catherine's cold eyes Johanna felt panic, “What do you want?” Catherine sneered, “Nothing. I'm just curious that do you have nightmare after killing people? Think about the driver in the sea and Owen whose life hangs in the balance...Guess if Owen's parents would investigate the car accident after they recover from the tragedy?” In the backstage dim light, Johanna stared at Catherine and stepped back out of fear. She showed anxious and panic, “You are talking nonsense!” Catherine walked towards her smilingly but with cold eyes, “Johanna, he who repeatedly commits wrongdoing will cto no good end. Just guess if the dead driver would cfor you or not?” “Ah? Johanna screamed out of scare and fell down. Anderson followed Catherine when she left the stage and he saw it when Johanna fell.
The light was faint and Johanna fell quickly, so from where Anderson stood it seemed Catherine pushed Johanna.
“Catherine, what are you doing?” Anderson grabbed Catherine's arm and shouted in a low voice.
Catherine turned around and sneered at him saying nothing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohanna's eyes were gleamed when she saw Anderson, thinking he would be on her side, “Andy, it hurts.” Moist eyes and tearful voice.
A woman like Johanna should have been more adorable than Catherine who wore a cold smile, but looking the crying Johanna, Anderson somehow felt disgusted.
“Just take care of your Isabella 2.0.” Catherine noticed the absent look on his face and seized the chance to get rid of his hand. She left right after finishing the sentence in a cold way.
Anderson watched at her back in silence.
She used to turn her back to those annoying wooers.
But now, he was the one whom she turned her back to often.
His heart seemed to be hammered heavily. Each breathing caused pain.
Johanna still sat on her heels on the floor, looking at the absent look on Anderson's face, and her eyes were alight with hatred.
She tried to pull herself together by suppressing her hatred and then lied calmly in a soft voice, “Andy, Cathy has gone. Before you arrived, she said she was going to see Mr. James.” Anderson kept silent for a while before he helped Johanna up with a cold face and then said in a serious voice, “I'll have Paul drive you to the hospital.” Johanna looked at him with tearful eyes, “Il want you to be with me.” She resembled Isabella a lot. Her face and words pleased Anderson slightly.
“I have things to do. | take you to see Paul.” Johanna was shocked. Anderson was always on her side whenever she showed to be vulnerable, but this tit didn’t work.
She was suddenly flooded with panic.
Catherine did go to see Ethan later. She just caused a sensation at the party, so she couldn't go back there to make more trouble.
Ethan smoked while he speaking in a cold way, “I'm surprised that you are tortured so badly by Anderson.” Previous Chapter Next Chapter
