'Why should I keep an eye on it?!' thought Irish to herself. But she still clicked the website link.
Irish thought that it would be Bella who used to hold this meeting. She would accept the interview with a smile to everyone presented. However, to her surprise, it was Joseph who was accepting the interview there today.
Shocked, Irish was frozen because she didn't know why he would present the conference personally. As far as she was concerned, Bella used to be the spokesman of Runestone Group, and Joseph had never presented at such a conference.
When she still remained hesitant, a reporter started his question. "Mr. Dover, I heard that "ping-pong ball" disclosed that you kept an ambiguous relationship with Becky before. Could you explain it to us?"
Irish felt that her heart dropped when she heard this. It was not the press conference as usual since those journalists asked such harsh questions. Obviously, they only laid their attention on his relationship with Becky.
'Is he crazy? Why would he attend this conference today?' Irish wondered in her mind.
Irish gazed at the computer screen.
Joseph was answering the reporter's question forthrightly, and he said that he had nothing to do with Becky.
He was not a man who used to explain to others.
Irish sat on the couch stiffly, but gradually she turned to be nervous as if she was at the site of the conference.
The reporters got agitated again as they heard his words.
"But "ping-pong ball" has collected enough evidence. If you really have nothing to do with Becky, then why would "ping-pong ball" keep insisting that you have an affair with Becky?"
Irish's heart was beating so fast as she heard the sentence from the reporter. She gazed at Joseph motionless, waiting for his reply.
The light was soft in the conference room, shining on Joseph's sharp nose, which made him look more attractive.
He smiled softly and moved his eyes from those reporters as if he was looking for someone among the crowd. But soon, Irish looked into his eyes through the screen, and then Irish realized that it was because he was focused on the camera lens.
After a small pause, he then replied with a sly smile, "It is because someone is playing tricks on me."
The people inside the conference room were astonished yet confused since they could not figure out what he meant. Irish couldn't help but tremble abruptly since she felt that Joseph was talking about her. She felt like her heart was almost jumping out of her chest. Indeed, after Irish heard the rumors about Joseph and Becky, she was so indignant that she finally decided to take some steps, or in other words, she was determined to take revenge. She could not ignore her rage, so she tried to convince herself that she had done all this because she had to vent her irritation. Irish hated to be attacked by those harsh comments on the website since she did nothing wrong.
Irish would not lie down under such treatment. 'Why should I take all the unfair treatment for the bitch? Thought Irish at the very beginning. However, when she calmed down, she was lost in thought.
Actually, Irish's only purpose was to force Joseph to clarify all those rumors since she wanted to hear the truth from him. Irish hoped he could tell her that he never kept an ambiguous relationship with Becky and he didn't love that woman at all. Women were always sensitive, including Irish. After experiencing the collapse of the trust with Joseph, Irish grew sensitive. She hoped Joseph would clarify all this in front of her, but she was afraid that he would be disingenuous. Therefore, Irish was hesitant but still with expectations at the moment.
"Mr. Dover, now that you said you have nothing to do with Becky, then why would she show up at your hotel?" another reporter asked.
"The sponsor arranged the hotel where I stayed that night, so it was not strange even if she stayed at the same hotel with me. I met her for once before she just greeted me only out of politeness," explained Joseph indifferently.
"Did she really just greet you out of politeness, or you tried to date with each other alone?" another reporter kept asking.
Although Irish was not clear about the background of this reporter, she felt that his question was an extraordinary one.
Of course, Irish knew that Joseph would definitely deny that, but she was eager to know what he would answer.
Just as she expected, Joseph faintly smiled as he heard this.
"Date with Becky alone? Why should I date a strange woman but not my girlfriend? I am afraid that I don't have so much time wasting on others," Joseph responded calmly.
His words were like a bomb exploding in the still lake. In the next second, all of the people present there were shocked and began to whisper to each other.
Irish, who was wondering how he would answer this question, was almost frozen as she heard that. Her head was buzzing, and her mind went blank abruptly.
'What did he say just now?' Irish kept wondering.
However, the reporters were the people who got the point immediately, while others still stayed astonished. His answer led the conference in another direction. The reporters' excited expressions made it easy to tell that Joseph had finally regained the initiative.
"Mr. Dover, you said that you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"Is it the first time for you to admit that you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes,"
"Is Becky your girlfriend?"
"No."
"Then it must be Britney."
"How could it be possible," Joseph smiled faintly.
"Well, then, Mr. Dover, would you mind disclosing some information about your girlfriend to us?"
Irish gazed at the screen silently and felt that her heart had almost stopped beating because she couldn't figure out what he was going to do.
Joseph stood there with a soft smile and looked handsome. "I am afraid that I am not qualified to do that," Joseph said in a soft tone.
"Why?" asked the reporter.
"It is because I did something wrong, and she hasn't forgiven me until now," Joseph responded softly.
"Is it because of the rumors with Becky?"
"Of course not. I said something against my will, and it upset her a lot," Joseph replied directly and sincerely. "So by taking this chance, I want to apologize to her," added Joseph.
