When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 212: Coming Forward to Clarify

Every single minute and second right now is tormenting Serena Sutton’s heart.

She doesn’t know how embarrassed she’ll be when facing the reporters and confessing that she’s the plagiarist.

But to keep her job and stay at Prestige Group, she has to cooperate with the public relations team.

At this moment, her phone rings, pulling her thoughts back.

It’s a call from Melanie Lancaster. Serena is feeling very depressed but still answers, "Hello, Aunt."

"Serena, this Faye Turner plagiarized your work and still took a joint first place? Why didn’t you say anything? Are you just going to let yourself be bullied like this?"

Even through the phone, the joy in Melanie’s voice is palpable. "Serena, if she weren’t Adrian Lancaster’s wife, she wouldn’t have gotten joint first place, right? You need to stir things up! Make the media continue reporting!"

"Serena, do you have time for dinner tonight? Aunt’s treating, and we can discuss this matter properly."

"Aunt." Serena said slightly dispiritedly, "I plagiarized her; she is the one whose work was stolen."

"What?!" Melanie was in disbelief, stunned for a few seconds. "Who else knows about this affair?"

Serena self-deprecatingly tugged at her lips, "Soon everyone will know." After saying that, she hung up the phone.

There is still an hour until ten. She found a desolate corner, leaning against the railing facing the wind, sighed heavily.

No idea what the future path will be like?

For a long time, will she be regarded as a laughingstock, surely?

Downstairs.

Reporters from invited newspapers came, received employee badges at the entrance, and were led to a spacious lounge.

Dustin Shepherd arrived earlier to communicate with the reporters about the interview arrangements today. Present is not President Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster, but the plagiarist, Serena Sutton.

"Plagiarism?"

"Serena Sutton plagiarized?"

Even the reporters were shocked.

Dustin also stated, "This morning is just her clarification, returning Mrs. Lancaster’s innocence. Evidence of her plagiarism will be handed over to the media in the afternoon."

The reporters receiving this news were each stunned! Evidence? Then it’s a fact?

Only Rachel Sherman remained unwaveringly supportive of Faye Turner, exhaled in relief, finally able to clear her false charge.

Sitting in the chair, she admired the lounge’s luxury, an unattainable place in ordinary life, sophisticated, grand.

On the wall, a massive landscape painting by a renowned artist, a clean embroidered carpet...

Though she married President Lancaster, Rachel still found it amazing, genuinely hoping Talia Tully can remain so happy...

Soon, a girl entered through the door.

Seated reporters looked towards her, with the cameraman preparing behind them, everyone knowing she was Serena Sutton.

Yesterday, she was shouting "plagiarism is disgraceful" loudly, Serena Sutton.

Facing so many reporters’ gazes, Serena felt an oppressive presence, but to keep her job, she could only grit her teeth and step forward.

Flashlights started flickering incessantly, cinematographers adjusted to the best angles, filming her from her entrance onwards.

"Hello everyone, my name is Serena Sutton." She stopped walking and bowed towards the main lens.

"Regarding the ’Timeless Moment’ series and the joint first with Faye Turner, I am deeply ashamed. It was I who plagiarized her work, borrowed her ideas, and even falsely accused her."

"I have already apologized to her and deeply recognized my own mistakes."

Faced with reporters, she was calm and composed, as if it was prearranged speech, her attitude quite sincere.

At this moment, the situation was being broadcast live.

After her clarification, reporters began to ask questions in turn—

"Why did you plagiarize and then falsely accuse Mrs. Lancaster? Do you have feelings for President Lancaster?" Reporter A asked directly, "Trying to sabotage their relationship?"

Serena’s heart lightly thudded. She knew that today she had to answer all the reporters’ questions, or her job would be at risk.

Thus, she nodded, "Yes, I like him. I think, isn’t there any woman who doesn’t like him?"

Rachel Sherman heard this and turned pale!

She had a strong urge to slap her!

But she held back, as it wasn’t her turn to speak yet.
