Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Cursing, naturally, targeted Paige Sterling.

Helen Hale’s face was completely twisted, and she nearly gagged at the stench of rotten eggs.

Someone beside her handed her tissues to wipe off.

As she wiped, her makeup smeared, and her assistant suggested she tidy up.

But Helen gritted her teeth and refused.

She wanted everyone to see her miserable state right now to incite anger towards Paige Sterling, and to make Julian Hawthorne realize Paige’s malice once again.

She angrily glared at Paige Sterling.

"Miss Sterling, I know you may not like me, but I thought, enemies should be resolved rather than created. We have no deep-seated hatred, so I stepped forward to clarify to everyone that you didn’t push me, I fell by myself. Even if it meant a little grievance for me, that’s okay, because I still hope Penson and Apex can coexist peacefully, promoting growth of the industry together. But I didn’t expect that at a press conference, you would do something . I can’t help but question if my act of covering for you is meaningful? Do you truly understand repentance?"

Helen Hale appeared heartbroken, "You have really disappointed me. How on earth did you bring about the development of Penson? Is Penson’s success really your contribution?"

She took a deep breath, "No matter what, I have decided not to remain silent nor cover up for you anymore. Today I will reveal the truth about my fall in front of everyone."

Helen Hale seemed to have suddenly understood and no longer wanted to shield a sinner who had no remorse, so she bravely and stubbornly recounted the incident at the time with righteous indignation.

She even listed more than ten convincing reasons why Paige Sterling pushed her.

The crowd became agitated, and the journalists couldn’t remain silent. They all aimed their cameras at Paige Sterling, demanding answers.

Paige Sterling faced the flashing lights without a trace of emotion.

After everyone had questioned endlessly, when they realized Paige wasn’t responding, the scene suddenly quieted down.

It was at this moment that Paige Sterling took the microphone, "I believe, with Miss Hale’s detailed description, you have some understanding of the situation at the time. I won’t elaborate further."

The reporters immediately attacked with questions like machine guns.

"So you admit that you pushed her?"

"Miss Sterling, why did you push Miss Hale? Do you have such deep resentment towards her?"

"Miss Sterling, don’t you feel any guilt at all?"

Paige Sterling directly ignored everyone’s questions, "I’m not here today to answer whether I pushed someone or not. That’s a question that doesn’t require my response. I just want to make a statement and offer Miss Hale some self-awareness."

She looked at Helen Hale, "Regarding the more than ten reasons you found for why I allegedly pushed you, there are two I do not acknowledge."

"First, out of jealousy. When it comes to beauty, you’re not as good as me; when it comes to body, you’re not as good as me; when it comes to talent, you’re also not as good as me. Where do you get the nerve to say I’m jealous of you? Don’t you know to look in the mirror before you step out?"

Paige’s words were quite blunt, leaving Helen Hale looking even worse.

But unfortunately, it was the truth.

This feeling in Helen Hale’s heart was like playing palace intrigues with Paige Sterling, yet Paige was going at her full force in real combat.

"Second, because of a man. Given that the first reason doesn’t hold, I won’t elaborate further on the second. I believe in my own taste. A man that I fancy surely wouldn’t fancy you, Miss Hale. If you still don’t get it, I suggest you go home and look in the mirror more often instead of coming out to make a fool of yourself."

Helen Hale felt humiliated, her eyes turning red as she bit her lip stubbornly, utterly speechless as if she had been shamed to the extreme by Paige Sterling.

And then the reporters Helen had bribed began to speak up again.

"Miss Sterling, where do you get the audacity to not only push someone without any remorse but also act so arrogantly?"

"Does Miss Sterling often do such things, that’s why it’s become a habit?"

The reporters’ voices were loud, but Paige Sterling’s voice was even louder, "I don’t want to hear idiotic nonsense."

"What did you say? Did you say we’re idiots?"

The people below were incensed, some almost wanting to rush up and hit Paige Sterling.

This woman was just too brazen, being arrogant to this extent.

Paige Sterling’s eyes showed disdain for the foolish crowd, "I have a surveillance video here. Your brains may not work, but I hope your eyes do. Watch carefully."

Upon hearing there was surveillance footage, the rowdy crowd fell silent all at once.

Could there really be a reversal?

Helen Hale’s eyes widened at the mention of surveillance footage; no, Paige Sterling couldn’t possibly have surveillance footage! That’s impossible!

However, Paige Sterling soon took out a USB drive and prepared to plug it into the multimedia equipment.

Helen Hale was truly panicked; what if Paige Sterling really had surveillance footage, what if...

No, she couldn’t allow that "what if" to happen.

Helen Hale signaled her assistant with a look.

The assistant nodded and left.

Then, before Paige could open the file, the multimedia equipment suddenly went dark, and all the lights on site went out.

However, since it was daytime, it wasn’t very dark.

A staff member quickly found an excuse, saying: "Sorry everyone, it seems the circuit has burned out. We need some time to repair it..."

Paige shot Helen Hale a glance, "Miss Hale, are you that scared? Unfortunately, this video will definitely be shown today."

Helen Hale struggled to maintain her composure; with no power to the multimedia, how could Paige Sterling possibly show it?

And after today, even if Paige really had footage, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.

"I don’t understand what you mean, Miss Sterling. At this point, do you still want to confuse everyone? Nobody here is a fool; everyone is clear about the truth."

"Right, nobody here is a fool; everyone can understand a video."

After saying this, Paige Sterling took out the USB and put it in her bag.

Then she pressed a button on her wristwatch, and suddenly the watch projected a video onto the screen.

Helen Hale looked stunned, and when she saw that the video was indeed of her and Paige Sterling standing together at the club, she screamed shrilly: "Turn it off! Turn it off right now!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

However, the control was not with the staff, and they couldn’t do anything.

Helen Hale pointed at the bodyguards, "You, go over there and stop her! Quick, go stop her!"

But Paige Sterling also had bodyguards, and when Helen Hale’s bodyguards went over, the two groups of bodyguards started fighting.

The people at the scene were dumbfounded, after all, since the incident, Helen Hale had always appeared in public as gentle and magnanimous, no one had ever seen her look so ferocious.
