As soon as that remark was said, the guns were once again trained at Samantha.
No reporter disliked having more news. The more the better, and the more explosive the news was, the more valuable it would be. They all agreed, “That’s right, Ms. Larsson. How do you explain your parents’ third accusation?”
The guilty conscience that Simon initially had from being questioned earlier had disappeared considerably. Even though Samantha refuted the first two claims, the third one was not a false allegation!
Detective Leadon, who had been helping him with the investigations, had clearly told him that Samantha could not keep to herself before and after her marriage. She had been with countless men before and he managed to compile a list of those who had an affair with her.
Those were facts with conclusive evidence! Was there any other way she could absolve herself from those claims!
As long as she was unable to explain her messy private life, her image in the public eye would never be reversed. She would still become a wretch that everyone else cursed at!
Simon thought to himself and figured that no man would be willing to be cuckolded. When she was finally abandoned by her rich husband and completely lost his backing, he would be able to deal with her easily!
The expression on Samantha’s face did not change and the emotion in her eyes did not even fluctuate. She swept her gaze across all the reporters, knowing deep down that many of the reporters there were bribed by Simon. He aimed to be thorough when striking her down.
She curled her lips and said, “I’ll answer the question about my private life now, but before I do, I invite everyone to watch this video recording.”
She took out the phone, tapped on the screen, and projected on the big screen.
After turning on the video recording, the fat Mason Godfrey was first to appear in the frame. He had a somewhat respectful look in his eyes and even spoke in a polite tone as he said to the camera, “Hello everyone, I’m the Mr. Godfrey that was included in the list of Samantha’s affairs. This is a wrongful accusation. Ms. Larsson and I have only met a few times, and there’s nothing shady going on between us. Regarding those official accounts and netizens who have deliberately discredited my image on the internet, please stop spreading any further rumors and delete the posts immediately, otherwise I’ll have to resort to legal measures to defend myself. Thank you all!”
The second one who appeared was the hospital janitor. He faced the camera with an honest expression and seemed very uncomfortable. He spoke in his village accent and explained seriously, “Hello everyone. I’m the second man rumored to have an affair with Ms. Larsson. I was cleaning at the time when Ms. Larsson kindly informed me about a falling object that was about to hit me. She did that so I would avoid getting injured. I don’t know how a rumor like that even came about. I’ll make it clear right now that I’m not having an affair with Ms. Larsson!”
The next individuals who appeared were two nurses from the hospital’s inpatient department. They were there when Samantha kindly reminded the janitor and saw everything with their own eyes. Finally, they emphasized, “Ms. Larsson has spent the past few months coming to the hospital to accompany her brother Corey. We’ve never seen her deliberately hooking up with any men at the hospital. She is gentle, polite, and has good morals. We urge all netizens not to listen to rumors, and not to hurt people with their words.”
The fourth one to appear was Alan, who generated the most discussion.
Alan succeeded in standing out from the other affairs listed down because of his kind appearance and gentlemanly temperament.
Moreover, when photos of Alan helping Samantha apply medicine in a cafe were circulated, everyone flung their wrists in dismay. How could such a good-looking man be deceived by a scumbag like Samantha?
Many women also posted various comments on Waybo to draw Alan’s attention to Samantha’s true colors. A woman like that was completely unworthy of him and it was best for him to ditch her!
Alan appeared in front of the camera dressed in a simple shirt and pants. He seemed very natural and down-to-earth.
He raised his hand and greeted the camera before beginning his sentence. Every single word escaped his mouth very clearly. “Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Sherwood. Ms. Larsson and I are very good friends, and at the same time, my team is now in charge of treating Corey. That’s the reason for my frequent interaction with Ms. Larsson in recent days. That’s all there is to it. There’s nothing going on between us, so please, stop spreading rumors.”
After he finished speaking, the screen suddenly turned black. When everyone thought the video was over, another magnetic voice sounded.
“Hello everyone. I’m Little St. John!”
That simple sentence silenced the entire conference room for a second and they soon let out a huge exclamation.
Little St. John—the medical world’s most mythical figure!
As the only disciple of Professor Louie, he was already the subject of everyone’s attention. Having made many academic breakthroughs in the medical field and won many international awards at a young age, he was just recently nominated for the famous Alfred’s Prize.
Since he was very low-key and mysterious, no news outlet has so far been able to interview him. Everyone did their utmost best to find out even the slightest bit of information about him.
Although a few people knew his true appearance, everyone heard his voice before because everyone wanted to be the first to circulate the audio recordings of his academic publications. His voice was very distinctive and recognizable, so listening to the person’s voice was enough to convince anyone that it was the little saint!
No one expected him to appear in Samantha’s video recording!
“Circulating on the internet are photos of Samantha chasing the bus in order to get to Dr. Sherwood, and those photos are true. However, she did so not to seduce him, but to ask him to convey her wish for me to take over Corey’s treatment. The interaction between Alan and Ms. Larsson was purely regarding Corey’s treatment. Please don’t believe the rumors and don’t hurt innocent people by spreading them. Thank you, everyone.”
After the recording was over, it took everyone some time before they returned to their senses.
If an authoritative figure like the little saint had come forward to endorse her, even the reporter who asked the question earlier could not confidently refute it to be false.
Samantha immediately followed up to it, casting all the information about Corey’s case that she had prepared beforehand onto the screen. She did the same with her chat history with Alan on WeTalk and various other evidence as well.
Her personal and physical evidence have all been provided.
Simon’s face turned pale. His eyes widened in shock and he was in disbelief.
Where did Samantha meet such a powerful person? He knew what happened to Mason, and it was not like those grudges could easily be forgotten. Samantha had offended him before, so why would he be willing to come out to testify for her?
What else was there about Samantha that Simon did not know?
All the reporters were silent. The evidence had piled up. What else could they ask?
Samantha did not commit to any of those three accusations and even turned out to be a super poor person. Her parents did not love her at all, and they turned out to be absolute bloodsuckers.
Amidst the silence, the door of the conference room slammed open and a man appeared at the door, shouting, “Don’t believe what Samantha says! She’s a liar who only spouts nonsense!”
