Chapter 8

The black Maybach stopped outside the press conference venue.

Inside, the place was already crowded with the most famous reporters and media from all over Utah.

Many microphones and cameras had already been prepared in front of the stage, waiting for Dahlia to appear.

Dahlia stepped out of the car and slowly walked into the venue with her assistant beside her.

She wore a plain white skirt suit and sat directly at the center of the stage.

The second everyone saw her, the entire venue exploded into noise. Quiet discussions spread nonstop.

“Isn’t this supposed to be the press conference for the Watson family’s eldest miss? Why is this unfamiliar woman here?”

“Hey, your family always hears gossip first in Utah. Do you know who the woman on stage is?”

“No idea. Could she be connected to the Watson family somehow? Maybe she’s Eldest Miss Watson’s assistant?”

Dahlia did not feel surprised at all.

After all, her face had already become someone else’s face.

Now, even she felt unfamiliar when looking at herself, much less other people.

She picked up the microphone, glanced around the whole venue, and slowly breathed in. “Hello, everyone. I am Dahlia. I came here today because I want to properly tell all of you about the five years Caspian and I spent in our marriage.”

She took out the gold-stamped divorce certificate. “I already divorced Caspian. The marriage between the Watson family and the Holmes family is over. I have also returned to the Watson family and will become the future successor of the Watson family.”

“During these five years of marriage, Caspian kept poisoning me, making my depression worse and worse.”

As Dahlia said those words, her voice stayed calm and strong. At the same time, many surveillance videos appeared on the large screen, showing Caspian secretly changing her medicine, along with detailed drug test reports.

“My Watson family did nothing wrong to the Holmes family. After the marriage, I kept doing everything a wife should do. I even left the board of Watson Corporation and stayed home completely, all so I could help Caspian well.”

“But all my efforts only got me Caspian’s betrayal, and the person he cheated with was even his old friend’s adopted daughter, Camilla.”

The next second, videos suddenly appeared on the big screen behind her, showing Caspian and Camilla having secret relationships in different villa rooms.

The entire venue immediately exploded with noise.

The reporters and media rushed to record the shocking moment.

The livestream viewers also quickly increased, while the comments section moved so fast that nobody could clearly read the messages anymore.

Dahlia’s hand beneath the table was already trembling nonstop.

She tightly pressed her nails into her palm. Even when her nails pierced her skin, she ignored the pain and forced herself to stay calm.

“Camilla kept setting me up and hurting me again and again, while Caspian helped her the entire time. The worst time was when Caspian tied me up without my permission, took me to the hospital, and transferred my face to Camilla.”

Soon after, the hospital surveillance video from that day appeared on the screen.

Dahlia slowly lifted her hand and moved the loose hair away from her forehead, exposing the injuries that still had not completely healed.

Not far from her, the assistant signaled toward her.

The livestream viewers had already passed one million, while Caspian and Camilla had reached the top trending search.

The entire comment section was flooded with angry insults toward the cheating couple.

Some netizens were still not satisfied after insulting them. Right there on the spot, they even called the Holmes Corporation customer service hotline to give Caspian their most “sincere greetings.”

Dahlia’s purpose for holding this press conference had already succeeded.

“I will make Caspian and Camilla repay every bad thing they did to me.”

“This is just the beginning.”

She did not answer the reporters and only used those short words to finish the press conference.
