THE BILLIONAIRE STILL WANTS HER!
Chapter 66: Make the announcement

Chapter 66: Make the announcement

As the highly anticipated press conference got underway, the grand auditorium was abuzz with a palpable sense of tension.

The air was electric with anticipation, as journalists from various media outlets eagerly awaited the arrival of the man at the epicenter of the unfolding drama.

With cameras at the ready, the room was suddenly bathed in a flurry of bright flashes, momentarily illuminating the sea of expectant faces.

The collective sense of urgency was palpable, as every journalist present was desperate for a statement, a revelation, or any semblance of clarity that could shed light on the intricate web of drama that had been unfolding between Angel, Tryson, and Arthur.

The room was primed for a bombshell, and all eyes were fixed intently on the podium, waiting for the key figure to take the stage and provide the answers the world was so eagerly awaiting.

Arthur was the reason they had all gathered here.

Arthur had single-handedly upended the public’s perception of Angel’s life by revealing the hitherto unknown reasons behind her clandestine meetings with him and her employment at his company.

This bombshell had dropped at a time when the news of her engagement to Tryson had just begun to circulate, leaving many scratching their heads in confusion.

As a result, the public’s attention had shifted dramatically, and now, all scrutiny was focused on Arthur who had so brazenly spilled the beans, everyone eager to know more about his motivations and what other secrets he might be harboring.

What was the real story? How had Angel managed to be engaged to Tryson while also being involved with Arthur?

The media was relentless, ready to dig into every corner of his past, and that was exactly what he feared.

If they uncovered the truth—that he was, in fact, already married to Sophia—it could ruin everything, including the stability of his company. His assets, his reputation, his power—it was all hanging by a thread.

This scandal wasn’t just about love.

For Arthur, it was a carefully orchestrated power move. He saw an opportunity in the chaos—one that could bring Angel back to him and, at the same time, destroy Tryson’s company.

It was all falling into place, especially now that the board of directors had given him the green light to make his next move.

His announcement today wouldn’t just confirm his engagement to Angel; it would also strike the first blow in his plan to dismantle Tryson’s empire.

But not everyone was on board with his ruthless strategy.

Sophia, his wife, had caught wind of his intentions, and she was determined to stop him. Just as she prepared to reveal everything to Angel, Arthur realized he had only one option left—he had to act before Sophia could spill the truth.

And so, in a desperate move, he took the one woman who could ruin everything... and kidnapped her.

Meanwhile, back at the auditorium, the journalists murmured restlessly, their anticipation reaching a fever pitch.

Then, as if on cue, Arthur stepped onto the stage. The room exploded with flashing lights and frantic questions as photographers clicked away, trying to capture every moment of his arrival.

A man in charge of the event stepped forward, speaking into the microphone to regain order. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats."

Arthur took his time, settling himself at the altar-like podium, his expression unreadable.

Clearing his throat, the moderator continued, "Mr. Arthur Lamar has called this press conference in response to the current controversy regarding his relationship with Angel Johnson, who also happens to be an employee at his company. He will be addressing your questions one by one."

Stepping aside, he gestured for Arthur to take the microphone.

Arthur leaned in, his voice steady but commanding.

"Thank you all for being here today. I understand that the recent headlines have raised many questions regarding my relationship with Angel Johnson, who, as you all know, is also the current fiancée of Tryson Bliss."

His gaze swept across the room, locking eyes with several reporters, his expression unreadable.

"So," he continued, his voice unwavering, "I’m here to answer your questions. As many as I can."

The room fell into a hushed anticipation, every journalist poised, ready to strike with the questions that could unravel it all.

At that moment, the moderator standing by the podium carefully selected a journalist from the eager crowd.

As planned, it was one of the reporters they had strategically planted—bought and paid for—to ensure the narrative they wanted would spread like wildfire across the internet.

The goal was simple: control the trend, dictate the conversation, and shape public perception.

The chosen journalist rose from his seat, adjusting his tie before asking the first question. "Sir, can you confirm whether Miss Angel is indeed an employee at your company?"

Arthur leaned slightly toward the microphone, his expression composed. "Well, yes, that is correct," he replied with a subtle nod. "Angel is an employee at my company."

Without missing a beat, another reporter was selected—this time, a woman with sharp eyes and a poised demeanor.

She held her microphone firmly as she spoke. "Sir, regarding the ongoing reports involving you, Miss Angel, and the well-known businessman Tryson Bliss—can you confirm if there is any truth to them?"

Arthur paused, letting the weight of the question settle in the air. He took a brief moment, as if carefully choosing his words, before finally lowering his head toward the microphone again.

"Angel was an exceptional employee at my company," he began smoothly. "To be precise, she held a managerial position in one of our divisions. Naturally, as her boss, we maintained a professional relationship... but I won’t deny that there was something more between us."

His voice remained steady, but there was an unmistakable edge to his words.

"However," he continued, his tone shifting slightly, "when it comes to her relationship with Tryson Bliss, there may be more to the story than meets the eye. It’s possible that there were things Angel chose not to share with me... things she kept to herself, even as my employee."

The room fell into a hushed tension, cameras flashing as journalists scribbled frantically. The game had only just begun.
