Although Joan might feel disturbed by it, he still had to tell the truth to prevent her from being hurt again.
Joan fell into silence after having heard Larry's words.
Even though she refused to believe it, the facts spoke for themselves.
She realized the friendship that she treasured was easily cast aside in the face of a conflict of interest. She couldn't help but sneer at herself in a self-deprecating manner.
When he saw how disappointed Joan was, Larry gently kissed her on her cheeks and comforted, “Don't be sad, you still have me. I'll always be by your side.”
When she heard Larry's affectionate words, Joan's nose twitched as she tried to hold back her tears desperately. She leaned into Larry's chest. “Larry, thank you. Thank you for always staying by my side.”
“Silly gal, why are you even thanking me?”
Both of them hugged each other tightly and immersed themselves in the rare emotional moment.
“Larry, what do we do now?” Joan couldn't help but ask when she thought about the swarm of reporters outside.
“Don't worry, just leave it to me.”
Larry knew it was time for him to take charge resolving the matter.
On the same day afternoon, he organized a press conference at Norton Corporation.
The office entrance was swarmed with people.
Other than a huge legion of reporters, there were also hordes of curious onlookers. They were all interested to know the latest developments of the scandal.
Larry brought Joan to the press conference.
After all, she was the scandal's biggest victim as her reputation was ruined by it.
To redeem her name, Larry had to clarify the truth and announce something at the press conference. Therefore, he forced Joan to come along with him.
