Chapter 829 Scandal In Press Conference

Cassandra put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Let's go inside."

Beth forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Miss Cassandra."

Cassandra shook her head, "You should thank yourself for letting yourself go. What people fear most is to pay off their emotional debts. Some of them can be paid off, but some can't be paid off all their lives."

After saying that, Cassandra got out of the car first. With a somewhat absent-minded look on her face, Beth sat in the car for a while and then got out of the car. She hadn't been to the headquarter building of the GR Group for a long time. At that time, she was so popular that the door seemed to be opened for her. But now, she had fallen off the dust, and even felt ashamed of herself when passing by.

At the headquarter building of the GR Group.

In the multi-functional conference room.

Today was a press conference held by the GR Group Because it involved the matter of Auden's play, and the Shen Group was involved, hundreds of media in the capital city almost poured out, and the scene was spectacular.

When Cassandra and the others arrived, the conference room was already crowded with people. Countless media reporters stretched their necks to wait, hoping to catch some explosive news. Then they would be rich.

"Hey, do you think the Shen Group will send people here?"

"The Shen Group is too busy to handle their own business now. How could it be shameful to attend such a press conference?"

"That's right. After Scales' death, he was reported to have raped a university female student. What's more, that university student was dead. Maybe he raped her first and then killed her..."

"I've heard that the second son of the Shen family is planning to seize power. I don't know if it's true or not. They are really good at playing in the city."

Cassandra had heard of the internal strife of the Shen Group, but it was still not easy for Hancock to fight against Fiona. Moreover, Fiona had the support of Martin. At least in public, she wouldn't lose to Hancock.

Cassandra listened to the gossip and waited patiently for the press conference to officially start.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the senior executives of the GR Group arrived one after another. Roger personally led Lucian to the stage and sat down in the play.

After a simple opening speech, the host handed the microphone to Roger.

With a business smile on his face as usual, Roger said, "First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the press conference of our company. Second, I officially announce that from now on, Mr. Lucian, the executive president of Starry Entertainment Company and a famous director in the circle, will be the general director of the epic film produced by the GR Group and the Shen Group together. Now let's welcome Mr. Lucian to make a speech. "

As soon as he finished speaking, countless cameras were aimed at Lucian on the stage. After a sound of "click", the scene finally quieted down again.

On the stage, Lucian calmly looked at the countless cameras off the stage and said in a deep voice, "It's my honor to be invited by the GR Group to take over the big play personally directed by Auden. This is the affirmation of the GR Group and Mr. Roger to my own ability, but before that, there are two things I want to announce to everyone."

As soon as Lucian finished his words, the audience immediately began to discuss, completely unaware of the situation. However, some sharp reporters had already sensed the breath of gossip, and the originally prepared draft temporarily stopped, waiting for Lucian to continue.

Not only the reporters off the stage, but also the senior executives of the company and Roger were also confused. Although Roger still kept a business smile on his face, his eyes were cold.

Damn! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

What on earth did Lucian want to do?

At first, Roger thought that he had something that could threaten Lucian, so Lucian didn't dare to act rashly. But judging from Lucian's expression just now, it seemed that he didn't want to be threatened by him. Then he pretended to be threatened and had to agree to take over the play of Auden. Was he just acting?

In a flash, an idea flashed through Roger's mind -- it was Cassandra!

At this time, in the expectation of everyone, Lucian said slowly, "First, 7 years ago, I left the GR Group. At that time, I was sued by the GR Group because of the term of the contract. Later, I reached a settlement with the GR Group and compensated them with a sum of liquidated damages. This matter should be remembered by a few media friends. I declare that the CEO of the Gu consortium used some dirty means, that is, using the new actress, Miss Beth, who just started her career not long ago, to take a few pictures to threaten me. Out of coercion, I had no choice but to agree to the Gu consortium's settlement condition, to compensate eleven million three hundred and seventy thousand liquidated damages and terminate the cooperation with the Gu consortium. "

"What? It can't be true! How could they do that? "

"You didn't tell what happened 7 years ago until now. Why do I feel that you are deliberately discrediting him?"

"Mr. Roger, it's impossible for you to use such a dirty way just for a money, isn't it?"

"Sure enough, there are big news. It seems that today's trip is not in vain!"

Hearing the discussions off the stage, Roger's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep calm. He chuckled and said, "Director Lucian, I invite you here today to take over Auden's movie. Isn't it appropriate for you to slander me in public on such an occasion?"

Hearing this, Lucian sneered, "Slander you? You know exactly what happened that year! If it weren't for her future, how could I let you set me up? Moreover, you are threatening me with this matter. If I don't take over the film of Mr. Auden, you will expose the evidence of that year! Roger, you know exactly how many people you have killed with such a dirty means! "

Roger's face trembled, and he put on a false smile, "Nonsense! I think you are crazy. How dare you slander me in such an occasion? I will pursue your legal responsibility according to law. "

Disdain was written all over Lucian's face. "Pursue my legal responsibility? Do you mind, Mr. Roger? We can also investigate the matter of extortion from the GR group? "

Roger's face was frozen in an instant. "What nonsense are you talking about? I think Director Lucian is really crazy. Today's press conference is over. Please leave. "

Lucian cast a cold glance at Roger and said, "Mr. Roger, isn't it too late for you to stop the press conference now? You not only hurt me, but also set up a trap for Crane to accidentally eat poison and beat the bartender to death. You threatened him to come out of the mountain and make money for your shooting. He was killed by you who were crazy for money. How many more people do you want to hurt? Tell me! "

"Wow!"

The whole meeting room was in a mess.
