Chapter 36: The Press Conference
Luz brought Logan downstairs once they were all smartened up and bought some sandwiches for
breakfast for them. "Eat your breakfast when you get to ss."
"Got it."
Logan pouted unhappily. He was not a three-year-old anymore. He wasn''t going to start school hungry
and leave his breakfast unattended.
"Good boy. If the teacher praises you, you must tell me."
After kissing him on the face, Luz stopped a taxi and got in.
After sending her son off, she asked the taxi driver to send her to MR. She was just about to eat her
breakfast in her office before starting work when Linda knocked on the door and came in.
"Did I disturb you?"
Linda saw the sandwich on her table and said with a smile.
"No, I can eatter. Did you have something for me?" Luz asked curiously. She did not see Henry''s
Maybach when she came up just now, so it was evident that he wasn''t at thepany yet. This
shouldn''t concern him.
"Yeah, Mr Maynard is holding ast-minute press conference at Heroways headquarters at 9 in the
morningter. We were just notified earlier. Mr Maynard wants you to represent MR."
This press conference was too sudden. No one knew whether it was a good thing or a bad thing,
especially for Secretary Boone.
Seeing Linda''s sympathetic expression, Luz''s heart sank. Heroways was a powerful entity in North City.
They had numerous smallerpanies under them. She was just a secretary. It would be better if
someone from the executive level went as representative.

"Secretary Boone?"
Linda prompted her when she kept quiet for too long. Luz came back to her senses and nodded. "No
problem, give me the address. I''ll get there on time."
Since the press conference will be held at Heroways, she can just find a corner and keep herself
inconspicuous. Henry can do whatever he wanted.
"In the banquet hall on the 33rd floor of Antis Summit Hotel."
"Antis Summit Hotel?" On the 33rd floor?
As soon as she heard the address, she felt a headacheing on. Either Henry loved that ce, or he
only knew of one ce to hold events.
"Yes, Antis Summit Hotel. It will start at nine o''clock sharp." Linda confirmed again, for fear that she
would bete and incur the wrath of Mr Maynard.
"Okay, I won''t bete."
It was just a banquet hall on the 33rd floor of Antis Summit Hotel. She could go there.
"I''ll ask Luke to drive you there."
Linda knew that Luz did not have a car, so she offered kindly. That way, she wouldn''t bete because
of transport problems.
"Then I''ll have to trouble Luke."
After saying that, she immediately put her unfinished breakfast into the drawer. The press conference
shouldn''t take too long. She could have it as lunch instead.
In the banquet hall on the 33rd floor of Antis Summit Hotel, every mediapany had a reporter
ready in their assigned seats, just as Henry had ordered.
The originally spacious venue was full of reporters. The cameras and shes were all ready for Henry''s
appearance.
"Do you think this has to do with Luz Boone hitting Mrs Maynard?"
"It''s hard to say. Regardless of their personal feelings, the humiliation is there. The Maynard family
must be furious."
Luz entered the hall, bent over slightly so that she wouldn''t stand out too much, and heard two
reporters discussing behind her. She remembered with a start that she had had an argument with
Maddison Nash.
"Is this why Henry called this press conference in such a short time?"
No wonder he told her toe!
Just as she was wondering if she should leave, the reporters around her stirred restlessly. She felt a
sharp gazend on her back, making her want to scrunch down lower, but the gaze froze her in ce.
"Everyone, there''s something I want to announce at the press conference today."
Henry''s ck suit was neat and tidy. His elegant sense of nobility was not something that came with
the expensive clothes but from his upbringing.
What did Henry want to announce?
Luz wracked her brain nervously. She didn''t really like the location Henry had chosen either.
"Mr Maynard, are you going to talk about the altercation between Mrs Maynard and Ms Boone?"
An ex-socialite pping the high and might Maddison Nash of the Maynard family was a juicy piece of
scandal that could keep the tabloids going for days.
"Yes and no." Henry cleared his throat and gave an ambiguous answer, which made the people under
the stage even more anxious. They were waiting for big news.
"Since someone brought it up, let''s start with that. This is not a matter of personal vendetta between
socialites. It''s just a matter of inw rtionships that every family has experienced."
The words "inw rtionship"ing out of Henry''s mouth was so unexpected that the people in the
audience forgot to breathe. Inw rtionship?
Henry Maynard and Luz Boone...
Luz was also stunned. All that was left in her mind was "Uh-oh."
Did he lose his mind?
However, what happened next was even crazier. Henry grabbed the microphone and opened his mouth
again, with a remote and indifferent expression.
"Luz and I are not just co-workers, we''re also a married couple. Eight years ago, we got married legally.
She hadn''t graduated yet at the time, so we just had a small celebration amongst family. We have a
seven-year-old son."
The news rolled over the reporters'' heads like crashing thunder. Luz stumbled and almost fell to one
side, but she managed to grab a hold of the bannisters beside her and steady herself.
Henry was crazy. They had been married, but they had divorced seven years ago. As for Logan, did he
find something?
She panicked at the thought of Logan''s identitying out into the open. She had been too careless.
With the current technology, it wouldn''t be hard to run a DNA test with just a hair or some shredded
skin cells. Henry would have no trouble doing that.
