Andres continued his relentless pressure.
"Since everyone wants an answer, Miss Mendoza, I hope you'll provide one quickly."
"If you don't, it's not a big deal. There are security cameras installed all around the clubhouse."
"We just need to pull up the footage, and it will be abundantly clear who exactly hit you."
Benjamin Bright hurried out from the crowd with urgent steps.
"I'm the one who slapped Nevaeh."
Benjamin's breathing was a bit heavy, and a noticeable sheen of sweat had formed on his forehead.
He had suffered from heart issues since childhood. Even after receiving The Experimental Heart, his body still acted up every time the seasons shifted to autumn and winter.
Half an hour ago, Benjamin had suddenly felt a sharp discomfort in his chest.
He had retreated to the lounge with his assistant to lie down for a short while.
He thought Nevaeh had learned her lesson and wouldn't dare stir up trouble behind his back.
He never expected that after just resting his eyes in the lounge for a few minutes, his assistant would rush in to tell him Nevaeh had caused a massive disaster.
Benjamin clamped a hand heavily on Nevaeh's shoulder and announced to the crowd.
"She's the plus-one I brought to the summit today, and there's a very good reason I slapped her."
"Not long ago, she used underhanded tactics and nearly tricked my sister into the bed of a complete psycho."
"Oh, by the way, that sister of mine happens to be Mr. Andres's girlfriend."
In just a few short sentences, Benjamin completely laid out the truth of the situation.
Everyone knew Nevaeh was an artist under Spark Industries.
As the big boss of Spark Industries, Benjamin stepping forward to clarify the matter personally meant his credibility was absolute.
Benjamin's appearance practically scared half the life out of Nevaeh.
She knew Benjamin had a very severe heart condition.
Every time he had an episode, it took him at least an hour or two to recover.
The only reason he had pushed through the pain to come to Lumiere City was because he refused to miss today's crucial summit.
