Chapter 2223
Vermont took a moment to mull it over, "So, were you intending to kick her out of Keegan's life from the start?"
Stella replied nonchalantly, "I wont stop Keegan from providing for her retirement, but I won't let her drag Keegan into the mud with this distant relation."
She narrowed her eyes, adding, "The Crosby family's bankruptcy is quite convenient. With everyone turning against her, having lost everything, and her reputation in ruins, let's see what waves she can still make."
Just as she pondered, she suddenly noticed Chandler Kane in the front row. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She fell silent. Did Cyrene Saun have no inkling about the issues between these two in-laws?
The press conference came to a close with the spectacular unveiling of an intelligent all-electric car, accompanied by symphonic music and the venue bathed in light.
Top executives from the Vinci Rivera Group took turns on stage, fielding a barrage of inquiries from numerous journalists. Following the interviews, a reception was held to express gratitude.
Initially intended as a professional Q&A session, there were inevitably those pesky journalists eager to uncover scandal.
While questions for others remained fairly standard, those directed at Keegan took a different tone.
"Mr. Kane, are the recent rumors about you abandoning your birth mother true or false?"
"Mr. Kane, do you believe the online rumors about you will impact the sales of this new product?"
"Mr. Kane, news about you abandoning your birth mother is spreading online, with netizens calling for a boycott of The Vinci Rivera Group's products. What's your response to this?"
These relentless journalists swarmed around Keegan, practically thrusting their microphones in his face. It was truly distasteful!
Unexpectedly composed, Keegan took the microphone from the most aggressive male journalist and calmly asked him, '"Does your mother love you?"
The male journalist was momentarily taken aback, unsure of the q uestion's implication, but he nodded nonetheless, "Yes."
Keegan remarked, "So you only see the word 'abandonment'."
Before the male journalist could grasp Keegan's meaning, he continued," Today is the Vinci Rivera Group's new product launch event. I'll only address questions related to the products. As for personal matters, no comment."
Though the press conference had ended, those remaining continued to livestream. The exchange between Keegan and the male journalist was captured.
In the barrage, someone inquired, "What's he getting at?"
"Deflecting the topic."
"He may look polished, but he's not messing around."
"You know, I sense there might be more to this story. RisingHustuabourg mentioned that Keegan's mother treated him very well. If that's true, why expose this before the conference?"
"You never know with wealthy families. I heard a rumor that Keegan was kidnapped and lost at sea once. He was missing for days, but his mother rushed to get a death certificate to claim the inheritance."
"Regardless of the truth, the Vinci Rivera Group’s new products are impressive. I'm eager to try one out."
"What a twist! Quick, check Facebook! His mother's being portrayed as a gold-digger! Keegan's in hot water!"
This news spread like wildfire, prompting the curious to flock to Facebook.
Keegan's appearance today had stirred up quite a storm online. The Vinci Rivera Group's product launch had generated unprecedented excitement, with the two-hour event trending on over a dozen topics.
