Free Web NovelChapter 1119: Chapter 583: Extra Story: Breaking Through 2
The flashlights kept going non-stop, and all reporters were waiting for Alice Robinson’s answer.
Eric Grant replaced Alice Robinson in answering, "Everyone must have misunderstood... You all know very well that Chester Robinson is a doctor and often has to travel around the world, so when Chester is not in New York, Miss Robinson temporarily handles family affairs. Of course, the authority always rests with Chester..."
"Even so, on such an important occasion today, Chester isn’t here, which seems a bit unkind, doesn’t it?" Robinson once again made the situation tense.
Eric Grant was already feeling helpless in dealing with the situation and started wiping the sweat on his forehead vigorously.
Alice Robinson stood beneath the stage, hearing nothing but relentless questions from reporters and seeing Robinson and others with a predatory look on their faces.
Alice Robinson couldn’t help but shiver, beginning not to hear anything, her mind went blank...
"Alice, how come we didn’t see your boyfriend Claud Laurence today?" Robinson once again started with a sneaky attack.
The reporters had been waiting for a chance to open this topic, and now Robinson opened it, the reporters started asking in succession, "Miss Robinson, there’s a rumor that you and General Laurence have broken up. Could you confirm if this is true?"
Alice Robinson suddenly felt placed in a desolate land, with nowhere to hide and no one to rely on.
She stared blankly at all the predatory people below the stage, feeling as though she had fallen into despair.
She absolutely couldn’t announce her issue with Claud Laurence now, as Uncle Grant said, the Robinson family could only revive relying on Claud Laurence. If she announced to the world now that she had no relationship with Claud Laurence, it would be tantamount to pushing the Robinson family into doom...
Considering the current situation, what could she do?
"Miss Robinson, please give us an answer..."
"Miss Robinson..."
Numerous voices buzzed into Alice Robinson’s ears, stimulating her eardrums, and she was about to lose her mind.
At that moment, another commotion arose among the guests...
"General Laurence..."
"Doctor Robinson..."
Calls coming through faintly among the crowd drew everyone’s attention to the area of commotion.
In the next second, everyone present fell silent.
Alice Robinson was stunned, unable to hide her excitement and surprise.
No one expected Chester Robinson would arrive with Claud Laurence...
They were conversing and walking towards this place like very good friends, the scene looking so natural.
Today, both wore formal dark suits, with Claud Laurence donning a western tie, exuding a remarkable spirit, and Chester wearing a dark-colored tie that made him appear dignified and low-key, yet extraordinarily handsome.
Everyone present became excited seeing this scene, and reporters pointed their magnesium and flashlights continuously at them...
Claud Laurence’s casual bodyguards were maintaining order, so the scene didn’t become chaotic...
Eric Grant and others greatly relaxed.
Alice Robinson’s gaze stayed fixed on Chester Robinson, without moving for a second, but when Charlotte Yule, beside Chester, smiled at the reporters’ cameras, Alice Robinson’s body suddenly shuddered heavily...
It turned out Chester hadn’t come alone... At this moment, Charlotte Yule was wearing a beautiful and elegant gown, intimately holding his arm.
Everyone’s focus was on Chester Robinson and Claud Laurence, noticing nothing about Alice Robinson’s pale face at the moment.
Finally, Chester Robinson and Claud Laurence stepped onto the stage, and naturally, Charlotte Yule remained by Chester Robinson’s side...
Eric Grant reacted quickly, repeatedly saying to Chester Robinson and Claud Laurence, "You’re finally here. I almost got swallowed by them with this old body..."
Eric Grant’s words elicited a burst of laughter from the crowd, except for Robinson and others who were already turning green.
Chester Robinson treated Charlotte Yule with the utmost tenderness, frequently reminding her about the path beneath her feet, causing another flare of flashlights.
"If you keep looking at him, there might be a big issue with tomorrow’s headlines."
Claud Laurence had somehow embraced Alice Robinson’s waist, tilted his head slightly, and softly whispered in Alice Robinson’s ear.
To outsiders, Claud Laurence seemed merely whispering to Alice Robinson, and the two appeared very affectionate.
Alice Robinson regained her composure. Facing Claud Laurence’s touch, her body stiffened slightly, she looked up, staring blankly at Claud Laurence.
Claud Laurence chuckled lightly, "I said, I’d definitely accompany you at this press conference today."
Alice Robinson was just about to say something when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
It was Chester Robinson.
He walked to the microphone and spoke from the position of the heir of the Robinson family.
