Desires Die Hard

Chapter 698 Reporters' Questions

The Campbell's conference for explaining Melissa's death would begin within ten minutes.

The reporters couldn't wait and were scrambling to ask the questions, "Mr. Campbell, are you going to prosecute Mrs. Welton?"

"The police have briefed Mrs. Campbell's death last night. Is Mrs. Welton the murderer in this case?"

"Do you have any evidence to prove that Mrs. Campbell has been tortured psychologically?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Do you know the specific reason why Mrs. Campbell murdered Mdm MacMillan? And we've heard that Mdm MacMillan's body was hidden in a freezer. Is that all because of Mrs. Welton's abuse?"

Hearing all those sensitive questions from the reporters with strong urges, Franklin tried to control his anger and sadness. As the representative of his family, he grabbed the microphone on the table and answered, "Yes. We have proof. My sister was cooped up in an old warehouse in the Welton's before being arrested by the police. And it was in this warehouse that my sister has endured countless cruelties. She's Mrs. Welton's stepmother, which may make people consider her as an abuser to the stepchild. But she's so kind and pure that she won't do anything like that. And Mrs. Welton has always been treated like her own daughter by my sister.

"Melissa is such a good mother who has worked hard and taken responsibility to her family. However, she was pitifully maltreated by her stepdaughter for a long time in the MacMillan family, which led to her breakdown. So, she should not be blamed for murdering Mdm MacMillan.

"We can provide the psychiatric assessment report," Franklin asserted eloquently with anger.

Suddenly, all the press started to whisper, "Does it mean that Melissa has mental problems?"

"Why did all the murderers become psychopaths after they were convicted these days?"

"Yes, you got that. I don't believe that a little girl would bully an adult and made her go mad!"

"You're right. It's so weird. When did Melissa get assessed? Before she died or after?"

"It seems that it was after her death."

"That's ridiculous. How can a dead person do the assessment?"

"The more important thing is that Mrs. Welton hasn't explained anything yet. Is she afraid to admit it? Or does she just imply her consent?"

"Well, I didn't see the lawyer's letter of warning online. Maybe it's true that Mrs. Welton has maltreated her stepmother till her stepmother went mad."

"What an awesome woman! No wonder Mr. Welton could marry Mrs. Welton."

No matter what the people said, Franklin was ready to play the recording to them, "Dear friends, now I'm going to show you how brutal Anya MacMillan was!"

Franklin played the recording at once.

However, the door opened at the same time. Anya went into the conference room with Gina.

Unexpectedly, they both looked calm and confident. It seemed that they came here to retort the Campbells rather than confess.

They both walked firmly, especially for Gina, who used to be the first domestic winning actress for two awards.

Once Gina entered the room, she became the center of attention.

As it was said that Gina hadn't got well with Anya, all of the people couldn't help gossiping again, "I thought Gina has looked down on Anya."

"So I've heard. But it doesn't look like what those netizens said online."

"Honestly, I didn't expect anything for this conference today. Who knows whether the superstar will show up or not? But here she is! The fun is going to begin!"

When people were discussing them, Anya and Gina looked at each other and moved into the room hand in hand.

They became so close that all the rumors about their friction crumbled to dust. Of course, the press would not miss this wonderful moment. They raised their cameras and shot like mad.

All of a sudden, Anya and Gina turned in the limelight from the Campbells, which pissed Franklin off.
