More than half an hour later, Catherine came.
When she saw Connor, she was still a little scared. She asked respectfully, "Mr. Norman, you want to see me?"
Connor did not invite her to sit down. He only said, "I asked you here for two things. First, you resisted the temptation and didn't betray Annette. So, I got you a job at Annette's request. You can work at the Calley Group starting tomorrow."
Catherine was pleasantly surprised. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Norman."
Connor continued, "Second, there will be a press conference this afternoon. I need you to do something."
"Anything, Mr. Norman. I will do my best."
Connor smiled and was satisfied with Catherine's response. He said, "Go wait at the door for a few minutes. When Mr. Wincott comes back, he will tell you what to do."
"Okay."
Perhaps it was because Annette was in a bad mood.
She tossed and turned on the bed for more than half an hour and couldn't fall asleep.
So, she got up to read the book.
Ever since Annette was young, she had always been like this. Whenever she was in a bad mood or when she was unable to control her emotions, she would choose to read books and study to force herself to calm down.
Annette read for more than two hours, and Connor sent a message.
"Watch the news."
The public relations department of the Norman Group held a press conference in the multimedia hall of the Noman Hotel fifteen minutes ago.
Connor did not appear. Instead, Hari attended the press conference on behalf of Connor.
Hari was interviewed by reporters.
A reporter asked if the person mentioned by Jessica was related to Connor.
Hari said calmly, "Mr. Norman doesn't even know Ms. Fisher. How could they have feelings for each other?"
"But it seems that Ms. Fisher is in deep love with Mr. Norman."
"So many women admire Mr. Norman. Does Mr. Norman have to respond to all the women who have a crush on him? Mr. Norman has a wife, and he loves his wife deeply. No one can affect their relationship even if she takes advantage of public opinion to make a fuss."
"Yesterday, someone confirmed Mrs. Norman's wrong deeds in person."
The reporter hesitated to speak.
The corner of Hari's lips curled into a smile. The reporter asked the key question.
"I wonder if you are talking about this lady."
Hari turned to nod at the pack guards not far away.
The pack guards walked to the door and opened it.
Thea was standing at the door.
Because Thea had just been to Jessica's press conference in the morning, it was easy for the reporters to recognize her.
As soon as Thea appeared, the reporters started taking photos of her.
Hari said into the microphone, "Thea, please come up on stage."
Thea walked to Hari slowly and nervously.
Hari asked, "Thea, please clarify what happened this morning to the reporters. Will you?"
Thea lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. This morning..."
Her voice was low, so Hari picked up the microphone and placed it before her lips.
"I lied."
As her voice was transmitted through the microphone, Thea felt even more nervous.
A reporter asked, "Thea, please tell us the truth."
Thea lowered her head and took Hari's microphone.
"I worked in the Norman Group before and was dismissed because of some conflicts between me and Ms. Hall, who was an intern. From then on, I hated Ms. Hall. Later, Ms. Hall helped me with things. This morning, Ms. Fisher's men came to me and gave me 50 thousand dollars. They said that as long as I helped her prove that Ms. Hall was a bad person in front of the media and reporters, the money would be mine. I'm jobless now, so I did agree. Sorry, I shouldn't have done that."
As she spoke, Thea apologized in front of the crowd.
Annette was a little surprised at the scene.
In the video, Hari continued to ask, "Thea, can you guarantee that what you said now is the truth? You have to know that we will pursue your legal responsibility if you lie."
Thea raised her hand and swore, "I swear, all I said just now is the truth."
Hari said to the pack guards, "Ask Catherine here."
Soon, Catherine was brought out.
Looking at Catherine, Thea was a little surprised.
Catherine took the microphone from Thea's hand.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Catherine. I used to be an intern with Ms. Hall in the Norman Group. At that time, I did something bad, and I blamed them on Ms. Hall. However, Ms. Hall did not blame me, and she even helped me after I was fired by the company. I have always been grateful to her. I am now working at the Fisher Group. In fact, this morning, Ms. Fisher also came to me. She proposed to give me money and asked me to slander Ms. Hall, but I refused. I stand here today, just to tell you the truth. I can guarantee with my integrity that Ms. Hall is a kind and good person."
She turned to look at Thea and said, "Thea, do you agree with me?"
Thea nodded.
Hari took the microphone and said, "Today, none of the words Ms. Fisher said in front of the reporters were about Mr. Norman and his wife, yet the media tacitly got them involved. After Mr. Norman found out about it, he wanted to clarify it. Ms. Fisher was trapped in love, which had nothing to do with Mr. Norman. If you continued to involve Mr. Norman and Ms. Fisher in it, we could only resort to the law to protect our interests."
A reporter raised his hand. He stood up and asked, "Mr. Wincott, Ms. Hall left hand in hand with the president of the Fisher Group before. Could you explain it to us?"
The question was tricky.
However, as Connor's secretary, Hari had a quick mind.
He asked calmly, "May I ask you if you have any friends of the opposite sex? The kind that will get you out of difficulties without hesitation? Well, I do. Today's press conference is over. Dinner is served in the buffet hall downstairs. Please enjoy it.
After he finished his words, Hari left with the others.
The video ended.
Annette dialed Connor's number.
She praised, "Hari did so well, and so did Catherine."
Connor snorted. "It seems that you are more satisfied with Hari than me."
Annette was speechless. How could Connor be jealous?
"Why aren't you talking?" Connor said angrily, "Don't you know that I'm easy to coax?"
Annette felt that Connor was like a child. She did not praise him on purpose.
Connor thought unhappily, 'Would it be so difficult to praise me?'
Annette did not tease him anymore. She said exaggeratedly, "How did you do that? It is so awesome! Since you exposed Jessica's intentions directly, no one will believe her in the future if she mentions the same thing again. You are amazing."
Annette held back her laughter and praised Connor. Connor felt comfortable all over.
