Chapter 280 The Proposal (2/2)

killed in exchange of a large sum of money.

Now that the press conference was over, the journalists decided to leave one by one. It was time for them to go back to their offices and publish about today's conference in newspapers and media portals.

Suddenly Jacob stood up and said, ”Wait a minute.”

The journalists stopped at once. Then they found that the place of the press conference was completely blocked. Without Jacob's permission, they couldn't get out.

They got anxious and wondered what Jacob was going to do.

Was he going to take out his anger on them? No one knew.

What he said next surprised them.

”Since all of you came all the way, kindly for a few more minutes. I want to make an announcement,” Jacob said with a satisfied smile.

What? What was he going to announce?

Whispers and murmurs filled the room. All were wondering what was next.

As they were anxious to hear the announcement, he spoke, ”Miss Emily Bai, come out. I know you're there.”

His eyes fell at the woman by the corner of the room. She anxiously walked towards the podium, with armed bodyguards surrounding her.

Emily Bai was here!

All the journalists felt surprised, as they had thought that Emily was a cowardly person and dared not come here. They watched her every footstep in awe.

Emily didn't expect to be recognized. She just wanted to take a peek at what was happening. With Jacob clearing up the rumors about them, she couldn't help but feel touched by his gesture.

He could have turned her away, cast her out but she was still standing by his side!

He even admitted that the child was his. How he had sacrificed so many things just for her sake. Why did her heart throb so painfully? Was it because she felt so undeserving of his endless love? Maybe that was true. She did not deserve him.
