William had always had a great temper; even in the world of journalism, he had a lot of fans.
Hearing such words then, the journalists felt pretty awkward.
Seizing the moment, William said, "You guys have been working hard. My assistant will bring you dinner later. Hope you guys have a good time."
The journalists gave each other awkward glances.
They were trying to sneak some shots and spill the beans, but instead of getting mad, William was offering them dinner?
What was going on?
Brittany knew William was a tough nut to crack and great at handling people. That time, she learned it the hard way. He managed to send the journalists packing with just a few words.
She followed William out, walking a few steps.
Then she turned around to the journalists and said, "About my marriage to Mr. Salter, we are not actually married, which I only recently found out.
Whether or not Mr. Salter and I get married, it's our business. We have now reached an agreement to part ways peacefully. I hope you all respect our decision and stop making wild guesses. I don't want to involve innocents.
Before William and I were an item, we were classmates and friends. We never crossed any boundaries."
With those words, she left with William.
"When did she find out that her marriage to Mr. Salter was not real?"
"Well, she must've been conned!"
"If what Brittany is saying is true, doesn't that make Mr. Salter a con artist?"
Everyone fell silent.
In the office.
The female anchor's voice suddenly stopped, and a mug smashed the TV screen, instantly spreading like a spider web as the screen shattered.
Nathan was scared out of his wits.
After a while, he mustered up the courage to go in, "Mr. Salter, the person has been found. It's... the employee who was fired."
That person somehow got the news and started spreading rumors online, trying to frame Brittany, claiming she was pregnant before marriage, and trying to use the child to become the lady of the Salter family, but the child was gone, and she got nothing.
The rumor spread widely, causing Brittany to be swept into a new round of online attacks.
