"Why did you fake your disability then, Mr. Norton?" a journalist asked out of curiosity.
"We would like to know why too!"
"Has it got something to do with the fire ten years ago?"
The journalists could tell that there was a reason behind Finnick's fake disability, and they were dying to know it.
Usually, no journalist would dare to take the initiative to speak during press conferences with Finnor Group, but the journalist who spoke first gave other journalists the courage to speak up as well.
Finnick seemed rather calm despite the onslaught of questions. "Yes, I am indeed healthy, but I have my own reasons for faking my disability. I do not wish to discuss this in public, and I hope you understand."
The journalists nodded in acceptance, but as experienced reporters and writers, they knew perfectly well what the possible reasons were.
However, they also knew that they did not have the right to get themselves involved in the business of prominent families.
Finnick cleared his throat and continued his speech. "There's another thing I would like to talk about. Those rumors from two years ago are all baseless, malicious claims. Ashley Miller was the one who made them up to ruin my wife's reputation, and I've submitted the relevant evidence to the police. I'm sure justice will be served soon."
He chuckled as something popped into his mind.
"By the way, we're doing well as husband and wife. The pregnancy rumors were untrue, but we've been trying nonetheless. Thank you for your concern and your presence today."
With that, he stood up and bowed to the journalists before leaving without another word.
