Chapter 50: On The Night Of The Press Conference

On the night of the press conference.

The hall was huge and bright. There were plenty of cctv's and a big rectangular projector on stage.

On stage, there was a rectangular table where three artists, Alyssa Curtis and Allen and Joseph Raval, sat next to each other. At the leftmost of them was Xander Villaruel, who kept his cold and distant look. On the side of the table, the two assistants, Xindy Apostol and Edo Padilla, stood next to each other, unreconciled. They kept throwing angry glances to each other.

The press conference had not even started, but the people inside the hall were more than enough to create their own country. There were too many, the noises or voices they created were enough to annoy a person who was fond of a quiet place or fond of being alone. When someone got lost or separated from their family or companions, it would be really hard to find each other without the help of the staff of the event.

The place was really crowded. Like fishes placed in a can of sardines.

The venue kept flashing from the endless shatters of cameras taking pictures. Media reporters and Joseph Raval's fans were all over the place.

"When will the press conference start? I can't wait to know the entire issue."

"Why? Are you not convinced with the video being uploaded? It was very solid and undeniable."

"No. I'm not saying I am not convinced. It's just I felt something was off. I just don't know why. I can't stop thinking something is wrong."

"Hmmp, don't pretend. Why don't you just admit you are a fan of Miss Curtis and Mister Allen?"

"Don't spout nonsense! I said those things not because of me being their fan, but because this is what a righteous reporter should think. Don't forget, no one knew where that video came from. Mister Allen and Miss Curtis are both role models of the entertainment industry. They are both untainted and seldom being involved in a scandal. So this matter, for me, is suspicious. This is just my opinion. Not the truth. So you don't have to argue with me."

"Hmmp! Pretentious."

"I am too lazy to talk with you."

Another group of people in the crowd was already discussing the issue.

"This is really unbelievable. At the time I saw the news, I was so shocked. I can't believe that Allen and Miss Curtis got involved in this kind of unacceptable scandal. If the news is found to be true, then there's no way for them to remain in the industry. Citizens will hate them."

"What are you worried about? Although Allen's identity is mysterious, it's rumored that he is filthy rich. So even if he won't stay in the entertainment industry, he can still be an entrepreneur. Besides, he is an amazing artist, who can bear to make him leave? His fans would surely not allow it to happen. Don't forget. He is the artist who has more than billions of die-hard fans. No one can chase him away from his entertainment career."

"Yeah. I can't understand Allen. How could he do that? He is just ruining his image."

"He is rich. So he is abusing his power."

Citizens who were waiting for the press conference online also exploded.

Allen and Alyssa Curtis's fans were also defending their artist unconditionally.

[@ILoveYou: Those who have beauty and power are really something. Only a few of them have a good heart. Opposite to their great physical beauty is their evil heart. These people should leave the entertainment. Alyssa Curtis, Allen, leave the entertainment industry.]

[@CrazyLover: Who are you to call my sweetheart Allen and Goddess Alyssa Curtis? You don't know the truth. They are just so famous and up to now they are still continue flying high, so those envious people are trying to ruin them. So shut up.]

[@DemonGirl: Know the truth? Hey, are you blind? The proof is already before your eyes. You still don't want to believe it? You are really hopeless. I advise you to check your eyes. You have been deceived by their looks."

[@CrazyLover : No matter what you say, I choose to believe them and support and love them unconditionally. I am not blind DemonGirl, I am just being loyal here. I also trusty judgement. I never get wrong to judge a person. Miss Alyssa Curtis and Allen are both good people."

[@LoveHater : Good people? Is bullying a deed of good people? They stripped Joseph Raval clothes, you still think they are good people. DemonGirl is right. You are really blind. Perhaps, you also have an evil heart because you don't know how to judge the situation.]

[@SweetHoney : Hey DemonGirl and LoveHater? Are you both brokenhearted? Why are you guys so bitter and judgmental? Watch your mouth. Don't discriminate against Allen and Miss Curtis just because of that video alone. I agreed to CrazyLover. I also feel that there's something wrong with the video. Besides, the press conference is about to start. We will know later the entire truth. So keep your mouth shut first. Otherwise, you're going to eat your words later if you find out that you're actually wrong."

[@123 : Fighting Goddess Song! Fighting Allen! Ignore those bitter people. They are just jealous of your looks and talent. We will love you and support you forever!]

Meanwhile, the two assistants also had their separate argument.

Edo Padilla's lips curved downward. "You guys are really shameless. You still have the mood to organize a press conference. What is there to clarify about? The news is true. How are they going to solve this? They are only humiliating themselves."

Xindy Apostol crossed her arms, and a sarcastic smirk appeared on her lips. Even her gaze was looking down at the man. "Edo Padilla, I advise you to close your mouth. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed later. Who do you think you are deceiving here? Don't you think you're kind of funny and idiotic? We both know the truth. No matter how you could modify or tamper the video, the truth will be exposed to the people eventually. So you better get prepared. If the truth comes out, who knows where the ditchbank you will be thrown with?"

"You— your mouth stinks! Shut up!" Edo Padilla pointed at her face angrily.

Xindy Apostol raised a brow. "Edo Padilla, don't throw dirt on me. We both know whose mouth is stinking here."

Edo Padilla chuckled softly, hand covering his mouth. "Fine then. You guys can stay arrogant until you can. Sooner or later, the truth will come out. And it's us who will go home laughing."

Xindy Apostol nodded, provocative. "Then, goodluck to you. I just hope you can still laugh when everything is exposed."
