Chapter 742

Based on his experience as a top manager, a direct apology would make passers-by think that she was sincere.

The current online public opinion was no longer the same as before. A false scandal could be scolded to death. Instead, it was easier to apologize directly.

At most, he would buy the manuscript to clear his name later. Anyway, as long as he did not go against the netizens and anti-fans at the center of the storm, things would quickly turn around.

Zara Wentworth lowered her head silently. She was also conflicted.

This was not the first time she had entered this industry. She knew that what Thomas Bush said was not unreasonable.

However, if she were to admit all the dirt and apologize to everyone in front of the camera, she would probably suffer internal injuries.

“You decide for yourself! I’ll inform the media first. After half an hour, I’ll go to the lobby on the second floor of the company to attend the press conference!”

With that, Thomas Bush made a call.

“Where is your dressing room?” Melody Fox asked. “Downstairs…” Zara Wentworth said as she led the way. On the way, Zara Wentworth kept apologizing guiltily. “Melody, I’m sorry. I really feel so useless… Why can’t I do such a small thing well?”

Melody Fox shook her head. “I was inconsiderate in this matter. I shouldn’t have let you advertise for me.”

“No, that’s not it. It’s all my problem. The pasta post you instructed me at the beginning was for me to post after pasta distribution. But I wanted to help you so much that I posted it in advance. I… I’m really useless!”

Melody Fox said disapprovingly, “Those who want to defame you, even if you post later, will find a way to defame you. I’ve seen all the posts online. It’s obvious that those defames were deliberately prepared for you. Even if there isn’t this time, there will be a next time.”

Zara Wentworth bit her lip and mentioned Yana Norangel’s name.

“If I’m not wrong, she must have something to do with this. It’s my fault for not listening to you. I really thought that she had turned over a new leaf…”

Melody Fox was very happy that Zara Wentworth finally saw Yana Norangel clearly.

If this incident could make Zara Wentworth’s heart tougher, it would not be a bad thing.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let her step on you!

Melody Fox’s eyes were firm, but Zara Wentworth was still uneasy.

No one could explain the direction of public opinion online. It was uncontrollable.

When they arrived at the company’s dressing room, the two of them realized that there was no makeup artist inside.

After asking the staff next door, they found out that Yana Norangel was going to shoot an advertisement and had taken all the makeup artists away.

“Thank you. I understand. I’ll do my own makeup.

Zara Wentworth bowed her head in thanks and brought Melody Fox back to the dressing room.

“It’s Yana Norangel again…”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly. This person was really looking for an opportunity to mock Zara Wentworth. “Why don’t I call Wilmot Sherman and ask if he’s available?”

Zara Wentworth quickly shook her head. “It’s not just for the press conference. The makeup doesn’t need to be very exquisite. Don’t trouble Mr. Sherman.”

Letting a big shot like Wilmot Sherman put on makeup for her on such an occasion was equivalent to using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.

In order to prevent Melody Fox, from looking for Wilmot Sherman, Zara Wentworth quickly started to put on his own makeup.

Seeing this, Melody Fox did not insist, but she did not stay idle either. She began to use WhatsApp to contact the person she should contact.

By the time Zara Wentworth’s makeup was almost done, it was almost done.

However, she still had to ask the person involved for their opinion on how to resolve the matter.

“Have you thought about it? Do you choose to apologize or explain the truth?”

“I…” Zara Wentworth bit her lip hard as her eyes slowly turned red.

Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Thomas Bush’s voice-

“The reporters are almost here. I’ll go down first. You’ll be down in two minutes.”

Okay.”

Zara Wentworth responded and clenched her fists tightly. Should she do as Thomas Bush said and apologize directly to let the storm pass as soon as possible, or should she face the pressure of public opinion and insist on herself? Melody looked at Zara Wentworth who was still in a dilemma. She was not in a hurry and just waited patiently.

Finally, Zara Wentworth raised her head and looked at her with bright eyes.

“Melody, I’ve decided. I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t want to admit it, and I don’t need to apologize to anyone. I want to explain things clearly, even if public opinion might become even worse!”

Melody heaved a sigh of relief. Her lips curled up in relief as she said, “Zaza, I’m very happy that you have the courage.”

“Yes!” Zara Wentworth nodded hard and said, “Don’t go over, in case you are also affected by me. I know what to say.”

Although it was scary to face so many reporters alone, she still didn’t want Melody to get involved in this mess.

Melody waved her phone and smiled. “If I don’t go, wouldn’t I have worked for nothing just now?”

“Huh?”

Zara Wentworth did not notice what Melody Fox was busy with just now. Just as she was about to ask, Melody Fox had already grabbed her hand and said, “Your two minutes is up. Let’s go down.”

“Wait…” She quickly tried to stop Melody, but her strength was no match for Melody Fox’s strength. By the time she regained her senses, she had already been brought to the hall on the second floor.

The hall of Swanson Universal Entertainment was often used for various press conferences.

Last year’s annual meeting was also held here. The venue was very large. After entering, they turned right and saw a beautifully built podium.

Thomas Bush smiled at the reporters below the stage and said, “Thank you for taking the time to attend the press conference after being busy. I believe that everyone is here because of the trending topic on the Internet. I won’t waste everyone’s precious time. Let’s get straight to the point. Now, let Zara Wentworth personally explain to everyone what’s going on.”

After saying that, Thomas Bush turned to look at the door.

Zara Wentworth had never held such a press conference before. She immediately swallowed nervously.

“Let’s go.”

Behind her, Melody reminded her softly, “I will be by your side.”

Melody Fox’s existence gave Zara Wentworth great courage.

She no longer lowered her head and covered her chest.

Instead, she raised her head and strode towards Thomas Bush.

Thomas Bush looked at Zara Wentworth who was walking towards him. He had a vague feeling that something had changed in Zara Wentworth.

It was the feeling of a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.

Thomas Bush raised his eyebrows and scrutinized Zara Wentworth for the first time.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that Zara Wentworth was superior to Yana Norangel in terms of temperament and appearance.

However, She was too humble, so no one could sense her presence.

Thomas Bush could not help but secretly decide that if Zara Wentworth could perfectly resolve this crisis, he would not mind giving her a push.

Zara Wentworth had already walked to Thomas Bush’s side. Thomas Bush said in a low voice, “I forgot to tell you the process. Let’s greet everyone first and then answer their questions one by one.”

Zara Wentworth nodded and took the microphone from Thomas Bush.
