Chapter 240 This Is a Small Matter
Lennon narrowed his eyes. “I was just wondering if there was a way to clarify our relationship. officially.”
“Since it’s a press conference, this is a great opportunity.”
Lucy was still a little worried. “Do we really not need to inform Damien?”
Cherise pursed her lips and thought of what Damien had previously told her.
They shared the closest relationship in this world.
No matter what happened, they couldn’t hide anything from each other.
Ultimately, she picked up her cell phone and called Damien.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”
A cold, automated woman’s voice rang on the other end.
Cherise ended the call in frustration.
“He went to the countryside. It’s normal if he has bad reception.”
Lennon yawned. “This is a small matter. We can solve it. Why must you insist on telling him?”
At the scene of a particular press conference in downtown Adania at two o’clock in the afternoon.
The words ‘Press conference of Fuoco Corporation financing Mr. Ian Philips in establishing at private clinic’ were printed in yellow on a red background. It was hung in the most conspicuous position of the press conference.
Lucy, who had arrived covertly at the news conference early, looked at the banner and spat viciously. “How shameless!”
“Lower your voice.”
Cherise tugged at the corner of Lucy’s shirt.
They had entered while mingling in the crowd of reporters and were striking enough as they acted like reporters with their peaked caps and face masks.
Lennon narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the scene before him. “The Fuoco family is so willing to spend money.”
The news conference began shortly.
May we invite to stage Fuoco Corporation’s representative, the second daughter of the Fuoco family, Melanie Fuoco!”
A slim, petite young girl came to the stage elegantly and stood still.
“Let’s welcome our angelic doctor with an immense sense of justice, Ian Philips!”
Thunderous applause rang offstage.
Ian went on stage with dark eye circles and a badly battered face.
Lennon frowned. “When I hit him back then, I didn’t punch his face.”
“I’ve been through professional training and will never hit my opponent’s face unless necessary.”
After that, he nudged Cherise beside him. “You’re studying medicine. It’s been almost a week. since I hit him. Can you assess why the injuries on his face are still so obvious?”
“No need.”
Lucy flattened her mouth. “He used makeup to create his bruises. All the makeup artists in a movie production team know how to do it.”
Cherise furrowed her brows. She took out a bottle of makeup remover from her bag thoughtfully. “It’ll make an impact if this is splashed over him on stage, right?”
Lucy burst out laughing when she saw what Cherise was holding. “Cherry, why do you have everything?”
Cherise flattened her lips. “Susan was afraid I would get hurt, so she gave me this. She said if any woman dares to harass me, I can splash this over her.”
Lucy was amused by Cherise. “Are all your servants at home so delightful?”
Cherise nodded. “Yes. They are.”
After marrying Damien, other than a little spat with Susan on the second day after getting married, she got along well with the servants at home!
“Thank you to everyone for attending the press conference between the Fuoco Corporation and me amid your busy schedule.”
At this time, Ian was already holding a microphone and speaking on stage. “When Ms. Melanie Fuoco came to look for me, she said the Fuoco Corporation would be honored to sponsor me in opening a clinic.”
“I think that the honor belongs to me.”
“I, Ian Philips, am only a doctor who left the small town to study hard. I don’t have a powerful backer or much power. Even if I did a good deed, the people involved would only berate me
