Chapter 685 - Lilia’s Past
Sylvia had never experienced such humiliation in her life.
After being slapped countless times by Robert, she broke down in tears and started to fight back.
In that desolate ward, her shrill roar echoed around every corner. "Robert, you are a jerk! What's the point of you hitting me? You bastard, I married you only because you were rich!"
Sylvia screamed and tried to fight Robert. Her graceful appearance immediately fell apart.
The couple, who had endured adversity in their middle age, ignored the audience on the ward, and continued fighting.
The medical staff who had arrived after hearing the commotion were also scratched by Sylvia while trying to intervene.
Because of their bickering, the ward for this tumor patient went into a scene for a day.
And this scene, half an hour later, was posted online in the form of a video.
The Pangestu family's reputation was mocked by the entire network for nearly a day……
3:30 PM,? Marina Conference Hall.
At the same location, Gaia Entertainment announced to the media that a press conference would be held here.
Since it was about Lilia, almost all the relevant media in the industry rushed over after learning the news.
When Sylvia called the press conference, only a dozen or so were present. And now, nearly a hundred media were present which made the conference hall packed.
At 3:50 pm, Lilia got out of the car in a black dress.
Next to her was her sister, Mellisa.
At the entrance, the reporters who had been waiting stepped forward and surrounded them in an instant.
"Lilia, Are you holding an interview session for the press today? Would you like to respond to your adoptive mother?"
"Lilia, since you've been in charge of your foster father's hospital expenses, why didn't you show up on the day of the press conference?"
Many questions were raised by reporters, but Lilia didn't say a word.
Harold walked nearby, guarding her carefully.
For a moment, the reporters in front of the lobby went out of control.
Not long after, a line of black cars drove up behind them.
When the car stopped, nearly twenty trained bodyguards dispersed the media.
On the path formed by the bodyguards, two tall and straight figures walked slowly.
The reporters looked at them and subconsciously held their breath.
The fourth young master from the Widjaya family and the second master from the Hartanto family.
One of them is Lilia's husband, and the other is her boss.
Behind them, there was an unshakable connection and status.
No one dared to offend them so easily!
Jean walked over with steadfast steps, and in an instant, he was standing in front of Lilia. He pulled her fingertips and kissed her lips. "Sorry, I'm late."
Lilia tilted her head and smiled. "It's not too late, I just came too."
"Alright, come on in."
Lilia nodded, and walked into the building with her man.
Today, she and Jean had not seen each other since morning. After preparing a response at Gaia Entertainment, she and Mellisa came directly to the press conference.
Meanwhile, Jean went to the airport to pick some people!
Chris and Mellisa walked behind them. Their faces were serious and they turned a deaf ear to the reporter's question.
These scenes are also broadcast to the Internet in real time by TV stations for viewing.
As everyone entered the venue, a car slowly stopped at the side of the road in front of the building entrance.
Someone got out and his eyes fixed on the conference building, then he walked in.
At exactly four o'clock, the press conference finally began.
In the conference room, a row of long tables with tablecloths was placed in the speaking area above the stage.
The three microphones' setup was almost exactly the same as the scene of Sylvia's conference that day.
However, the people sitting at the table were Lilia and her confidant.
Currently, Chris was sitting on her left and Harold on his right.
These three people represent Gaia Entertainment, while Jean and Mellisa sit in the middle of the first row.
There were no vacant seats. As far as the eye could see, there were only countless camera shots of the reporters.
Lilia faced everyone calmly. After looking around, she said sharply, "Thank you for coming here even though this conference was suddenly announced. I am speaking today in response to the words of Ms. Sylvia who accused me four days ago."
"I think that everyone currently watching the live broadcast has a lot of questions. Now, I will provide a detailed explanation to answer any doubts people have about me," she added.
Some of her words are neither humble nor arrogant.
The reporters continued to snap their cameras while holding their breath.
Lilia was silent for a few seconds and continued. "First of all, let me explain my relationship with the Pangestu family."
"I am indeed the adopted daughter of the Pangestu family. But, a few months ago, the Pangestu family discovered the whereabouts of their biological daughter. After they found their biological daughter, they finally chose their biological daughter and cut ties with me. I respect and support their decision."
At this point, Lilia stopped talking.
She was adjusting her emotions, and Chris took the opportunity to casually knock on the table. "Lilia is now an artist from Gaia Entertainment. This incident has seriously damaged her reputation, and my company will not hesitate to seek justice. So, by all means, I ask that this injustice be accounted for."
Lilia looked at Chris and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Chris. Next, I will leave time for everyone who wants to ask. I will try my best to respond to all the questions."
At this time, a reporter pondered for a few seconds and raised his hand and asked, "Lilia, may I ask about the real daughter of the Pangestu family? Is the daughter's name Leila who has recently been viral on social media?"
Everyone was silent and waiting for an answer. Lilia then nodded slowly.
It was true!
"Then, if you were not a child from the Pangestu family, were you adopted by them? Leila has lived in the capital city Jakarta since she was a child and separated from the Pangestu family, can you explain what happened?" The reporter asked straight to the point.
In an instant, everyone turned their gaze to Lilia. This kind of life experience drama is too intriguing.
Hearing that voice, Lilia nodded slightly. "This problem, to be precise, was caused by an accident after birth."
Her explanation wasn't clear, and she didn't mention that Trisa casually swapped the baby.
After that, a reporter raised his hand. "Lilia, someone on the Internet showed a picture saying that Sylvia's bank account had about 100 million the day before her press conference. What do you think?"
Lilia smiled. "I know nothing about this matter. If you want to know the truth, it would be inappropriate to ask me."
"Lilia, then may I ask……"
Before the reporter finished speaking, the closed door to the conference room suddenly burst open from the outside.
Due to the quiet surroundings when reporters asked questions, everyone was shocked.
Following that voice, everyone saw the crowd of people entering from the door, and their faces were very familiar.
If their guess is right, the one walking beside the old man is a famous diplomat who often appears on TV!
