My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 226: The Press Conference

The following day, the press conference was scheduled to commence at ten o'clock in the morning.At
nine o'clock, Roger drove to the hospital to pick up Wendy.

When he opened the door of the ward, he was shocked.Wendy's face was pale and there were bags
under her eyes.In addition, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight over the past few days.She looked
ashen and gaunt like a homeless person.

His expression changed to dire concern.

"Is there anything wrong with Ray?"

Roger thought that was the only plausible explanation why Wendy would become so haggard after they
hadn't seen each other for a whole night.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Ryan was his usual calm self.

‘No, something is definitely wrong! If something bad happened to Ray, how could Ryan be so calm? I'm
missing something here"

"This is just my makeup," Wendy said.

Roger was stunned.

"Makeup?"

"Yes!" Wendy nodded vigorously.

When she noticed that Roger was still suspicious, she rolled her eyes.

"It's really makeup.If you don't believe me, feel free to touch it."



Roger unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch her face.

However, the moment he stretched out his hand, he felt an ice cold gaze, and the on the back of his
neck stood on end.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw that Ryan was squinting at him dangerously, daring him to
touch Wendy without reflecting on the consequences.

Roger was taken aback.

"Are you sure you are fine, Wendy?"

"I'm really fine.If you don't believe me, I'll remove my makeup right away and show you."

"Why are you wearing such makeup?" asked Roger after taking a breath of relief.

"Pretending to be weak! Trying to gain sympathy! Nothing more!"

Although the press conference had not yet begun, the hall was already filled to capacity with reporters.

Because of the rich publicity and high ratings of Wendy's events recently, the reporters crowded in the
hall, expecting something newsworthy.

All the reporters stood in their positions, set up the equipment with cameras, and waited for Wendy to
appear.

Wendy and Roger made their regal appearance at the hotel at precisely nine fifty.

The two walked in front, escorted by security guards hired by Glory Media, to the stage of the press
conference.

Immediately, all media cameras lit up and focused sharply on the two of them.



After a few minutes, the reporters on the spot could not hold themselves back from asking burning
questions.

"Wendy! Have you read the scandals about you on the internet? Can you explain the rumor that you
seduced your sister's boyfriend and slept with a male stripper?"

"Your father said that you were rebellious since you were a child.Do you admit to this?"

"You seduced sister's boyfriend and had a one-night stand with a male stripper.Wendy, shame on you!"

Roger's anger was apparent.

He squinted at the last reporter and warned, "Watch your mouth! We are holding this press conference
today to clarify these issues.If you are here to cause trouble, then please leave.You are not welcome
here!"

Other reporters also despised that reporter when they heard him speak with such utter disrespect.

"Is he really a reporter or someone who has been sent to set the cat among the pigeons? How could
such a foul-mouthed person qualify to become a reporter?"

That reporter was furious.

"Did Wendy invite you to defend her?"

"The press conference hasn't even started yet, so why are you hell bent on stirring up trouble here? I
think you have bad intentions and have come with a hidden agenda!"

At the same time, lurking in a corner of the hotel, Ruben and Cacia were hiding secretly.

Ruben was a little nervous and restless.



"Cacia, how about we leave now? There are so many people here today.If we get caught..."

"What are you afraid of? Wendy is at a strong disadvantage now.I'd like to see how she proves her
innocence."

"But..."

Ruben had an ominous feeling.

"Don't be scared! Even if someone finds us, we can just say that we are here to persuade Wendy to go
back."

After chewing on that thought, Ruben felt relieved.

He also wanted a first-hand account of how Wendy would be discredited! At ten o'clock, Roger slapped
the microphone slightly to check if it worked well, then he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be
quiet.Our press conference is about to commence."

Everyone quietened down and waited anxiously for Wendy to speak.

Pursing her lips, Wendy held the microphone and said, "First of all, I would like to thank you for taking
time out of your busy schedule to attend the press conference.The purpose of this press conference is
to clarify one thing!"

The reporters were stunned.

"One thing? What do you mean, Wendy? Shouldn't you be clarifying several things? Seducing your
sister's boyfriend, getting pregnant before marriage, living a promiscuous life, and rejecting your
parents’ persuasion!"

"Don't you think it's rude to interrupt?" Wendy asked sharply, squinting her eyes.



"If it happens again, I'll ask the security to remove you from the hall!"

"You!"

The reporter was furious.

"I showed up to offer an explanation because I respect the public.I hope that you can show me some
respect for the duration of this conference!" Wendy spoke unhurriedly and gracefully.

The reporter's face turned red with embarrassment,and he was too ashamed to continue heckling.

"First of all, I want to tell you something about Oakley.I wish to inform you that I don't know Oakley at
all."

The crowd burst into an uproar.

Before the reporters could ask anything, Wendy continued, "Today, I'm very fortunate to have Oakley
present here with us.I want to confront him here in person to reveal the truth!"

The crowd was agog with curiosity.

The reporters looked at one another, wondering what card Wendy would play next.

They had expected her to explain everything to them with tears in her eyes at the press conference, but
they certainly weren't banking on her springing such a big surprise on them right at the start.

Through a side entrance, Oakley was escorted to the stage by two security guards.

Compared with the confidence and high spirits he displayed when he exposed the news about Wendy
a few days ago, Oakley looked dejected and forlorn.



Clad in a simple plaid shirt and jeans, he looked uneasy and nervous as he walked onto the stage with
a barrage of cameras flashing on him.

His bold head shone brightly.

Thinking of the bag of Oakley's hair she had received, Wendy's mouth twitched.She was a little
distracted.

‘‘Oakley…” She didn't expect Oakley would come.

On the way to the hotel, Roger told her that everything had been arranged by Ryan, and all she needed
to do was follow the process.

"Wendy..."

"What?"

Wendy regained her composure and looked up at the reporters who were looking at her with
expectation.

There was complete silence in the hall.

Wendy cleared her throat and then pointed at Oakley.

"I believe everyone here knows him, right?" Wendy walked over to Oakley's side.

"This is Oakley.I'm sure you all remember the bombshell he dropped on the Octavia Show!"

The reporters nodded unanimously.

"Now, Oakley, please reveal the truth to us."



Roger handed a microphone to Oakley.

As he held the microphone in his hand, Oakley looked somewhere and his fingers trembled.

He swallowed and said, "The fact is that I don't know Wendy at all.The reason I did that was that I
received a large sum of money from a woman! She said that as long as I did as she said, she would
give me four hundred thousand dollars! I was simply obeying her orders."

The reporter asked, "A woman? Who?"

"Cacia Brown!"

The crowd lapsed into total silence for a few seconds.Then a deafening uproar surged.

"Cacia? Who is Cacia? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

"Damn! Cacia is Wendy's stepmother!"

"Really? But how would it benefit her to divulge the news about Wendy?"

Huddling in the corner, Cacia trembled with fear and anger.She stared at Oakley with hatred.

"That moron! How dare he betray me after taking my money!"

Ruben was a little nervous.

"Oakley betrayed us.What should we do now?"

"Calm down! Wendy has to provide evidence to prove we bribed Oakley.No one will believe her if she
can't come up with solid evidence!"

"Yes, you are right!"



Ruben let out a sigh of relief and then focused on the stage.
