Day Forty-Four…

[ The Yan Family Mansion… ]
Old Master Yan heard the news about the break up of Nadia and her fiancé, Richard through his younger sister, Madam Lu. Madam Lu visited Old Master Yan just to inform him about the scandal involving Richard and Abigail.
She was humiliated by Abigail last night. As her revenge, she asked her daughter, Amara, to send the photo to the reporter which was close to them. She instructed the reporter on what to write in the news article. It was an exclusive exposé. She would also grab this opportunity to slander Abigail in front of Old Master Yan.
"Brother, this woman is the cause of your granddaughter's pain. You should teach them both a lesson!" Madam Lu was trying to influence Old Master Yan.
Old Master Yan was in a foul mood after hearing what happened. He was worried about Nadia and at the same time, he was furious at those people who made his granddaughter heartbroken.
"Where is Nadia? I want to see her." Old Master Yan tried to sit up. He clenched his fists while gritting his teeth.
"She is probably sulking in her room. Don't worry brother, I will call my Priyanshi and ask her about Nadia."
Nadia had been crying since last night. Madam Priyanshi brought her to Patel Villa. Nadia was not aware that her break-up with Richard was all over the news. She was still sleeping because she stayed up all night crying.
"I can't accept that Richard betrayed our poor Nadia. Heh. That Abigail Scarlett is a great seducer. A temptress! Let's give her a lesson, brother." Madam Lu was adding fuel to the fire.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Her strategy was working. Old Master Yan's expression turned darker. She could see the veins popping out of his forehead. The old man was furious. Old Master Yan suddenly removed the IV drip on his hand.
"Brother. What are you planning to do?" Madam Lu was surprised.
"Call my assistant! I will go to the Star Corp myself! I want to confront that actress and Richard." Old Master Yan commanded in his authoritative voice. He didn't look weak when he was mad. He felt like his strength was revitalized by his rage.
Madam Lu immediately turned around, flashing a triumphant smile. This was what she wanted. She knew how much the old man doted on Nadia. He wouldn't let someone hurt or bully his granddaughter.
'Abigail Scarlett… you will be destroyed soon… My brother will do that for me. Hahaha!' Madam Lu was rejoicing.
A few minutes later, Old Master Yan's assistant entered the room, pushing the wheelchair. Madam Lu was following him behind.
"Master Yan… Have you informed Madam Priya about this?" Old Master Yan's assistant was worried about the old man's health. He was not supposed to leave the house. He was still weak. But Madam Lu told him that this was an urgent matter. It was an order coming from the old man.
"No need to inform my daughter! Come here and assist me." Old Master Yan was so determined to leave the house and pay Richard a visit at Star Corp Entertainment. He wanted to punch that guy for hurting his granddaughter's feelings. He would also threaten the actress who was involved with this.
"I will use my power and influence to make that actress suffer. She will no longer stay in the entertainment industry. She will lose everything she worked hard for." Old Master Yan mumbled through his gritted teeth.
"You have my support on this, brother," Madam Lu said, hiding the roguish grin on her face.
Without further ado, Old Master Yan was escorted by Madam Lu and his secretary coming out of the house. The chauffeur was already waiting for them in the car. He also brought four strong bodyguards.

[ Star Corp Entertainment Building… ]
The conference hall had been prepared for the press conference. The Invitation was received by reporters from the major media companies in the country. They sent representatives who would cover and attend this press conference. Twenty minutes left before the start of the press con.
Abigail and Richard were not yet around. Only Mr. Jones, the Head of the PR Department, and Ana, Abigail's manager were on the stage, setting up the microphones. There were also four bodyguards standing near the stage. There were thirty reporters present inside. They were now seated at their respective tables. They kept looking at the entrance door, waiting for Abigail and Richard to show up.
It did not take long before Abigail finally entered the conference hall along with her assistant, Santra. She was wearing a white Square Collar Puff Sleeve Pullover Dress which was above the knee. She looked simple yet stunning with her hair tied up in a bun. She wore light makeup.
The reporters immediately clicked their cameras, taking her photos. Abigail confidently walked to the front and settled down in her seat. She looked down and checked her wristwatch. After making sure that she arrived on time, she tossed a look at those reporters, flashing her charming smile.
Some felt disgusted when they saw her nonchalant reaction. In their mind, Abigail was a pretentious bitch. She was the antagonist who ruined the beautiful relationship of the wonderful couple… Richard and Nadia. Abigail just ignored the several pairs of judgemental eyes that were staring at her.
"Are we still waiting for someone?" Abigail asked Mr. Jones.
"No. I think everyone is here." he promptly responded.
Abigail just nodded her head. "I guess, we can start the press con now." Abigail could no longer wait to reveal the truth about her identity. She wondered if the members of the Yan Family were watching this press con right now.
"Okay, Miss Scarlett. Let's start."
Mr. Jones stood up, grabbed the microphone, and stood behind the podium. He announced the start of the press conference.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to answer everything you wanted to ask Miss Scarlett. As our CEO had mentioned during her comeback, this press con will allow Miss Abigail Scarlett to explain everything and answer those questions you are dying to ask her during the Star Gala. Before that, I would like to remind everyone to be polite and calm when questioning her. Everyone will be given the opportunity to ask one question. Your turn is based on the number assigned to your table. Now, I will pass the microphone to Miss Scarlett."
Abigail wanted this press con to be a question and answer portion. She would try to answer all their questions. But at the same time, she would slowly reveal some facts to them especially if they were connected and related to the reporter's query.
The first interview was about to start when a group of people entered the conference hall. Four men in black lined up at the entrance door. A few seconds later, an old man being pushed in a wheelchair appeared in everyone's view. The reporters got distracted the moment they recognized the old man.
"Oh my Gosh! Old Master Yan is here! He came personally… to witness this press con."
"Lady Nadia's grandfather is here. Is he going to humiliate Abigail Scarlett?"
"The old man looks scary. He is furious."
Abigail met Old Master Yan's eyes. She could see the hatred and anger in his eyes as he looked at her.
"Who is he?" Abigail asked Ana.
"Abi… he is the Patriarch of the Yan Family. Nadia's grandfather."
