Chapter 1077 Quickly Make Up After a Quarrel Between Married Couple
Another reporter asked, "Mrs. Callahan, are you saying that you were abroad for five years to seek
medical treatment and the Callahans knew about it?"
"No, to avoid unnecessary trouble, we didn't tell too many people about it."
The reporter said, "Mrs. Callahan, who knew about this matter at the time?"
Mavis pursed her lips and didn't want to answer.
The reporter wasn't a police officer. There was no need to keep digging into the matter.
She chose to avoid the question and clarify her position, "Instead of calling me Mrs. Callahan, I prefer if
you call me Miss Parker."
The reporters looked at one another in confusion.
Mavis picked up one of the microphones in front of her and announced loudly, "I have something to tell
everyone. Mr. Callahan and I have fallen out of love during these five years apart. Our marriage is
severely incompatible. Therefore, I came back this time to discuss divorce with Mr. Callahan as well as
custody issues regarding our son. Please pay attention for further updates on our divorce
proceedings."
The reporters were shocked.
After disappearing for five years, she came back just for a divorce?
There were even more questions from reporters below.
"Mrs. Callahan, what caused your relationship with Mr. Callahan not working out? There are rumors
online that Mr. Callahan got close with Miss Padilla. Is it because he cheated on you that led you
announcing your unilateral decision for a divorce?"
"No, we decided on a divorce due to personality differences. As far as whom he wants to be with after
me has nothing do with me," Mavis replied calmly without intending on revealing any details or
criticizing Anthony in front of media cameras.
It was best to leave room for negotiation when dealing with Anthony later.
Another reporter said, "What specifically caused personality differences between both of you? Mr.
Callahan is handsome and wealthy. You still decided on getting divorced. Is there something unknown
about him privately?"
Yes, he acted like a madman privately despite his usual serious demeanor when things didn't go his
way; he could lash out anytime by biting someone off if provoked enough.
Mavis thought silently without speaking up.
"Mrs. Callahan, there are insiders who claimed that some time ago Mr. Callahan blocked off an airport
extensively just so he could stop your plane from taking off. Can you explain what happened that day?"
"Mrs. Callahan, some former employees who left the Callahan Group said that you used work there
before but suddenly resigned afterwards. Did your relationship problems start then?"
"Mrs. Callahan, I heard that Mr. Callahan had a mistress at the Callahan Group before..."
"Mrs. Callahan..."
A swarm of questions flooded in, making it difficult for Mavis to even speak.
But soon, the head of Padilla Group stepped forward to maintain order and announced that Mavis was
tired and would not answer any more questions, dismissing all the reporters.
The sound abruptly stopped, and the video content ended as a result.
At his desk, Anthony looked stern with a chilling expression.
"The worm turns. This is her counterattack. She has made progress since five years ago by using
public opinion to achieve her goals."
Zack looked anxious. "Originally Mrs. Callahan's announcement about her death five years ago being
fake news wouldn't have such a big impact on the stock market of the Callahan Group. But now with
her openly announcing divorce and related keywords like 'Callahan Group CEO couple separated for
many years' trending on social media sites taking up several top spots. Look at this."
He handed Anthony an iPad displaying news search results.
Although Mavis did not explain why they were getting divorced yet, there were already various rumors
circulating online including infidelity or domestic violence issues along with other bizarre reasons dug
up by netizens.
Zack said, "Currently there is still a downward trend in the stock market. Mrs. Callahan's high-profile
announcement about your impending divorce has had quite an impact on the group so our PR
department is handling it. But if we pay money to remove these hot searches from trending topics, then
people will guess you're guilty and responsible for causing this divorce. Do you want to clarify things
publicly?"
Anthony calmly arranged, "Arrange for paid posters control comments and redirect public opinion
towards marital arguments. Turn big problems into small ones."
"Yes." Zack curiously asked, "If it really is just marital arguments caused by Mrs. Callahan throwing
tantrums, then does that mean you have no intention of divorcing?"
Anthony just gave him an icy stare without answering his question,"Make sure all employees keep
quiet during work hours regarding this matter while continuing business as usual."
"Understood."
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was bright lights shining through complete darkness outside.
Anthony gazed outside with deep-set eyes slightly squinting together before finally deciding, "Call
Bryleigh immediately. Tell her she has 20 minutes or else Padilla Group will suffer losses."
"Ah?" Zack was confused. "You're doing this to find Miss Padilla? Don't you want to find a way to
contact Mrs. Callahan?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Anthony gave him a cold, intimidating glance. "I'm going now."
Less than twenty minutes later, Bryleigh rushed in.
The entire Callahan Group building was dark except for the top floor CEO's office.
Bryleigh arrived out of breath and sat down on the visitor's chair in the office. She laughed, "I didn't
expect you wanted to see me so badly. I got word and didn't dare delay even for a minute, afraid that
you would wait too long. My punctuality is satisfactory, right?"
Anthony smoked without expression.
Under the rising smoke, his eyes were filled with anger.
"Hold a press conference, help clear out the crowd and guide public opinion by intentionally releasing
news about having an affair with me. Is that your idea?" Although it was a question, his tone was
affirmative.
Bryleigh stopped pretending. "You know me well enough, Anthony. My ideas aren't bad, are they?"
He squinted his eyes with anger brewing inside him, "You don't know what you're doing."
Bryleigh immediately coaxed him, "Don't be angry, Anthony. Although it's my idea, Mavis begged me
for help because she doesn't love you anymore! If you continue like this, both of you will only suffer
more pain from each other."
She took out a small recorder from her branded handbag and said persuasively, "If you don't believe
me, listen carefully yourself. She said it herself."
--"You want Anthony but I don't care about him! I'll give him to you and Mrs. Callahan's position will also
be given up! I'll divorce but only want our son!"
She tried to persuade further, "See how determined she sounded when begging for my help? When
she says she doesn't care about you, her whole expression shows disgust towards you! Why bother
putting in effort for such woman? It's better if you just get divorced."
Anthony leaned back into his chair looking gloomy while exhaling smoke silently.
"If you're worried that divorce will bring losses to Callahan Group's stock market value, then as long as
you order it, I can stop the plan immediately or even guide public opinion towards Mavis instead. I
heard that bitch has already had an affair overseas with someone named..."
Crack--!
Before Bryleigh could finish speaking, Anthony suddenly grabbed an ashtray on the table and threw it
heavily onto ground shattering into pieces. The burning ember at his fingertips seemed like someone
else's fury hidden beneath calmness ready burst forth any moment.
Anthony took a deep drag of his cigarette and chuckled, "Haven't you heard the saying that married
couples quickly make up after a quarrel? Why are you getting all worked up? Are you stupid or
something?"
Bryleigh was taken aback, "What?!"
