Maria fell silent. The corner of her Lips twitched, but she did not respond.
Whats the matter? Have I struck a nerve?
Carson, you mightve just gotten back, and you probably dont know what happened. I merely said what I said just now because Victor has encountered trouble on his way here, and he might not be able to make it in time. But all of the reporters are already here, and itll be bad for the Sullivan Group if the press conference doesnt begin yet. Thats why I think I should take charge of the conference this time.
Oh, I see! I misunderstood you, then, said Carson.
Maria fell silent. But judging by the look on your face, it seems like you dont think that theres any misunderstanding.
With one hand in his pocket, Carson glanced at his wristwatch and replied, Victor did encounter trouble halfway to here, but the matter has been solved. Thanks for your concern, but the press conference shall begin in thirty minutes.
What? Marias eyes widened in shock.
How is that possible? Carson, why would you announce something like that? Do you know how important this press conference means to the Sullivan Group? You-
Of course, I do. Its an important one. The smile on Carsons lips disappeared, and he interrupted Maria midsentence.
Once more, Maria was left speechless.

It is precisely because this press conference is so important that only Victor, himself, should head this conference. But dont worry, he will be here just in time.
How in the world will he even show up? We dont even know whether he is alive or dead right now! Maria was starting to get flustered.

She had been scheming this whole thing for a long time, just so she could regain her former sovereignty through this press conference.
But now, Carson suddenly showed up and ruined her plan, which was why she accidentally had a slip of the tongue.
The people present were stupefied when they heard the news.
Maria realized that she made a mistake. She pursed her lip and explained, I mean, we dont know whats happening with Victor.
Things will worsen if he doesnt reach here in half an hour. This is a press conference, for Gods sake. Not a childs game!
Well, youre so considerate. Carson smiled sweetly at her. But the smile didnt reach his eyes.
Others might believe her words, but Carson wouldnt. Although he didnt know what was going on in her mind, he still heard what kind of a person she was.
He knew how much effort Victor had put to become the CEO of the
Sullivan Group, and he knew very well what role Maria played in it.
Women are such horrible creatures.
Im doing all this for the sake of the Sullivan Group. I think if
Victor knows about it, he will understand it, said Maria.
