Chapter 155 Taking a Leap

A dead silence fell in the conference room.

 

Anna wasn’t able to stand firmly anymore and was shaking as she held onto the edge of the table.

Filled with resentment and shame, she did not want anything more than to shred Courtney to pieces and feed her to the dogs.

I can’t believe she recorded that obscenity and played it in front of Shay! When Courtney threatened her with that video, she had taken away Anna’s only chance of being with Shay.

 

“Are you going to read it or not?”

After a while, Anna gritted her teeth and uttered, “I’ll read it.”

Before leaving the conference room, Courtney pulled out the USB and added, “Also, make sure Storm Media and your keyboard warriors take down those absurd articles and comments online. You already know what will happen if you don’t.”

Standing in the doorway with her back toward Courtney, Anna was already close to gnawing her teeth down to her gums. “I got it.”

 

Just you wait, Courtney Hunter. Just you wait.

 

The press conference ended successfully. Because people sympathized with Anna, they mostly believed what she said. After she explained that she and Courtney were just Shay’s sisters, those intrusive comments died off on their own.

Meanwhile, the journalists were extremely disappointed when they left. It became apparent that the media was just playing with smokes and mirrors, but there was no actual fire.

“I didn’t think she had something to do with this.” Shay handed a cup of water to Courtney. “Why did she do it?”

“Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?” Courtney eyed him. “Why do you think she was always against me? It’s because she likes you. Except for me, you practically ignore everyone in the Hunter Family.”

“She likes me?” He looked dumbfounded. “I had no idea.”
