Chapter 275 - 278: Vivian Walters Holds A Press Conference
The press conference scheduled to be held in a five-star hotel conference hall was temporarily changed to the VIP ward of First City Hospital.
In the camera view, Vivian Walters is half-leaned against the bed, wearing a hospital gown, looking frail and pitiful.
Her face is completely different from the swollen one that went viral on Twitter last night.
At this moment, Vivian appears pure and innocent, delicate and weak, eliciting sympathy.
A circle of people stands around the hospital bed.
All of them are the original male and female leads and supporting roles of ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress.’
A reporter with a microphone is interviewing Vivian Walters.
“Miss Vivian Walters, we sympathize with your plight immensely. This press conference should not have taken place in a hospital room, but due to some company’s strong-arming tactics, we’re left with this situation. What do you have to say about this?”
The reporter asking the question was pre-arranged.
This is a special live broadcast press conference. Reporters received news that Vivian Walters was suddenly hospitalized, and the original venue for the press conference was changed to the hospital room.
Vivian takes the microphone and manages to muster a weak smile, “Thank you for your concern… 1 know that many fans are worried about me. 1 am also grateful for your attention… This incident, as you all saw, was due to the Gray family forcing us to accept hidden rules. Both myself and the other actors in the crew are unwilling to comply with the company’s arrangements, and that’s why we have this press conference.”
“Here, I call on actors across the entire industry to join forces and collectively boycott unscrupulous companies like the Gray family. As for… my personal situation… in fact, Miss Lilly Gray, the GEO of the Gray Group, is my college classmate and best friend. It’s because of her that I signed with the Gray family at a very low friendship price. However, I didn’t expect… Lily, in the end, to treat me like this.”
With that, she can’t help but reach up and touch the bruises on her face.
The reporters immediately catch on and agilely ask, “Miss Vivian Walters, are these injuries on your face… all done by Lily Gray? This is just too despicable!”
“Uh… It’s not that these injuries were caused by Lily Gray. However, she cannot be separated from this incident. The demands of myself and the other actors are very simple; we just want a clean and fair industry environment. I never would have imagined that she could change like this.”
Later on, Vivian doesn’t need to say much further, with her head lowered and sobbing softly.
Meanwhile, the other actors, eager for attention and self-promotion, gather in front of the camera to bombard both Gray family and Lilly Gray.
For a time, the headlines on Twitter about #VivianWaltersPigFace# last night have been suppressed.
What remains are verbal and written condemnations against the Gray family and its CEO, Lilly Gray.
“Vivian Walters is such a shameless woman! If she hadn’t become a mistress, how would she have been beaten up by me? Now she even puts all the blame on you! Lily… No, I have to go back to the hospital and teach her a lesson!”
After watching the live interview, Skye Brown is so furious that she wants to beat up Vivian Walters right now.
“Skye, wait.” Lilly Gray holds Skye Brown back, “You can’t go to the hospital now. If you go at this time, you’ll fall right into her trap.”
Vivian Walters dared to hold such a press conference in the hospital, and the press must be swarming the area by now. If something were to happen, they would ultimately be at a disadvantage.
Skye Brown knows that Lilly Gray is right, but she still can’t swallow her pride.
Seeing this, Lily Gray pats her head to comfort her, “Don’t worry, she won’t be smug for long. I know she won’t back down easily, so I’ve already prepared a good show for her..”
