Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 276

The press conference continued.

The reporter asked again, "Mr. Farrell, why did you describe Ms. Gardner as a vicious woman? Has she done something? Can you tell us more details, please?"

Other reports and the netizens were watching Jared expectantly.

Besides the gossip in the entertainment business, they were interested in the gossip of the rich the most.

Most of them couldn't enter the circle, so they were extremely curious.

Jared pressed his lips. "No, I can't. You just need to know the reason why I've canceled the engagement with her. You don't need to know other things. All right. This is today's press conference."

After that, he put down the microphone, put hands in his trousers pockets, and strode out of the conference room.

He was unwilling to announce what Makenna had done in public because he didn't want the public to pay much attention to Amber.

Even Amber was a victim of Makenna's evil deeds. People with particular purposes would guess if Amber did something first to make Makenna avenge.

Jared just simply left, which disappointed the netizen and reporters.

He had released something important but refused to let them know more details. He had aroused their curiosity but just left the room without any explanation. They were so frustrated.

However, they dared not stop him, so they all looked over at Jared's assistant and wished Ben to explain.

Looking at their gazes, Ben couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He could know what was in their minds with a single glimpse.

Honestly, he also couldn't help blaming his boss inwardly. Jared just exposed the information without any details. Then Ben had to deal with the aftermath.

However, he couldn't do anything. After all, Jared was his boss.

Of course, the reporters would never get more details from Ben.

In the end, the reporters had to leave the Farrell Group without being able to do anything. They all headed to the Trident Group to interview Trenton, wishing to dig more details.

However, Trenton didn't accept the interviews. He only uploaded a video clip online.

In the video, Trenton's eyes were reddish. He looked haggard. Others could tell how sad he was because of his daughter's incident.

He looked at the camera and said, "Good day, everyone. I'm Trenton Gardner. My daughter's incident has been in the trends online in the recent few days. I'm sorry for occupying the online resources. Meanwhile, I'm begging you not to dwell on this matter further. My daughter is a victim. She's still in a coma in the ICU. If she wakes up and sees so many discussions online, I can't imagine how upset she will be."

He paused a bit, raised his hand, and wiped his eyes. Then he continued, "As Mr. Farrell said on the press conference, my daughter was vicious. It's a slander. My daughter isn't a perfect girl, but she is far from being a bad person. Besides, did she harm anyone? Please don't believe what Mr. Farrell has said nor post negative comments online. Your words could become daggers that kill an innocent soul."

Trenton took a deep breath. Gazing at the camera, he looked as if he was looking at someone through the lens. "Mr. Farrell, I wonder why you've said so about Makenna. You used to love each other deeply. It's so unfair for you to remark my daughter like this. Of course, I know Makenna's incident has disgraced you so much that you can't wait to cancel the engagement with her. I understand it. I also accept it. The Farrell and the Gardner families have nothing to do with each other from today. All right. That's what I want to say. Thank you, all."

After that, he bowed, and the video ended.

The netizens, either who disliked Makenna or just watched the fun, changed their attitudes right then.

"I agree. Makenna Gardner is a victim. She didn't want to be bullied. How could those netizens call her a shameless woman? They even said she deserved it. I wonder if they have the correct three outlooks. The victim might commit suicide after waking up and reading those comments."

"Those keyboard men have no fear. All they want is to please themselves. How could they care about the victim?"

"I agree with Mr. Gardner's words. Mr. Farrell said Makenna Gardner was vicious. We didn't see what kind of evil deeds she had done. We can't just believe in his words. Besides, he used to love Makenna Gardner so much. How could he slander her in this way? What a scumbag."

...

For a moment, the netizens discussed this matter warmly. Some believed Jared, and some scolded him. However, they all pitied Makenna.

In the president's office of the Farrell Group, Jared read those comments expressionlessly, emanating icy cold.

Ben standing behind him, pushing up the glasses. "I have to admit Trenton Gardner is quite competent. He has pushed all the blames to you and the men who had bullied Makenna Gardner. They have become victims without any fault."

Earlier, when Jared remarked on Makenna's true colors, the netizens believed that she was vicious indeed. Even she had been bullied. They didn't pity her. They all felt delighted that Jared had canceled the engagement with her.

However, as soon as Trenton's video had been uploaded online, the situation had a revival. All the netizens started suspecting Mr. Farrell's words. Most of them thought it was fake. Firstly, they didn't see what evil deeds Makenna had done. Secondly, Makenna was a victim in this matter.

People turned to compassionate the weak and the victim. Hence, all the negative comments about Makenna had stopped. The Trident Group's stock price raised.

Anyway, Trenton had moved an excellent step to kill two birds with one stone.

Well, to be exact, kill three birds with one stone.

Trenton also avenged the engagement cancellation. His words hinted that Jared had deliberately slandered Makenna. A man who slandered his ex-fiancée? The public would be indignant about this. Hence, a lot of them started to criticize Jared.

Sure enough, the older, the wiser.

Ben shook his head, heaving a sigh.

Amber also understood what was going on now.

She realized that Trenton was indeed a shrewd man and hard to deal with.

Hence, she reminded herself to keep alert. She couldn't become careless just because she had won against him several times. Otherwise, she would be so doomed.

Thinking of that, Amber narrowed her almond-shaped eyes solemnly.

On the other side, Jeremy turned off the computer and dialed Elias's number. "When do you plan to upload Makenna's video? Trenton Gardner has already whitewashed Makenna Gardner."

"Be patient," Elias answered. "Let's wait until Makenna Gardner has woken up. I know her well. She'll definitely do something. Hence, we can upload the video at that time to push her into the abyss again."

Jeremy nodded thoughtfully. "I see."

Elias asked, "Have you dealt with the surveillance video?"

"Yep. I'll send you later," Jeremy answered.

Elias hummed and said, "Okay."

At the Farrell Group.

Jared went through the summary of all their collabs with the Trident Group and finally he said to Ben. "Make an announcement. From today, we terminate all our collaborations with the Trident Group."
