Chapter 301 A Press Conference
As for what kind of relationship Jean had with the man, they didn’t bother to dig any deeper.
They were sure of one thing. The man was on their side.
And that was all that mattered.
Finished
Mindy couldn’t help but breathe a deep sigh of relief. Her legs weakened, and she collapsed slightly as the tension drained from her body.
After being on edge for so long, she felt a strange mixture of exhaustion and relief.
Meanwhile, Selena couldn’t help but glance at her brother. While Dominic’s attention was focused on Jean, she tugged at Thomas’s arm.
Thomas instinctively looked down. Their eyes met for a split second.
In that moment, they both understood exactly what the other was thinking.
Run. Right now!
Without wasting a second, they turned and sprinted into the nearby woods without saying a word.
Staying here meant facing an unknown fate.
No one could predict how Dominic would take his revenge…
All the bodyguards we had brought with us had already been killed. There was no one left to help us. Escape is our only
chance.
But Dominic noticed their movement almost immediately.
His face remained calm, without the slightest trace of panic or surprise. He gave a subtle glance to the bodyguard beside him.
The man got the message immediately and ran straight into the woods after the Lawson siblings.
Before long, Thomas and Selena were pulled back by the bodyguard.
Their faces were pale and defeated, their eyes lifeless, as if all their spirits had been crushed.
The bodyguard grabbed Thomas’s arms and shoulders with brutal force. He couldn’t move at all, and even his bones began to ache from the pressure.
Thomas had never been so humiliated since the day he was born.
An unbearable sense of shame surged through him. He clenched his jaw in silence.
Selena didn’t fare any better.
The bodyguard held her down lightly with just one hand.

Finished
She didn’t dare move, and knowing there was no point in trying to escape, she simply bowed her head in despair.
“I told you. You can’t escape.”
Dominic walked up to them. His gaze was cold as he scanned them.
“What are you going to do with us?” Thomas suddenly looked up at him. His voice was filled with bitterness and defeat. “Just make it quick.”
“I want you to hold a press conference,” Dominic said flatly.
A press conference?
Jean’s eyes widened slightly at the words.
Could it be…?
It turned out that her guess was right. Dominic wanted Thomas to hold a press conference so he could confess to his crimes in front of the world and clear Asher’s and Jean’s names.
It would take time for the law to catch up, but a public confession would be quicker and more direct.
Thomas could not refuse.
The next day, he announced that a press conference would be held at 3 PM that afternoon.
The media was taken completely by surprise.
There had been no warning. It was a sudden announcement.
But because the “Asher Lawson case” had been so widely reported, reporters from every corner flocked to the scene, eager for the latest scoop.
Even before the conference officially began, the venue was swarming with crowds and camera crews.
Jean didn’t attend the conference in person. She was glued to her computer screen, ready to watch the live feed.
On Twitter, the tag for the press conference had already shot to the top of the trending list.
