Chapter 302 A Direct Confession
Most netizens were busy speculating about Thomas’s sudden move.
“He’s probably just trying to clear his name. This trial has really destroyed him.”
“Still, I don’t think this counts as slander. The allegations are clear and well supported.”
“Who knows if the evidence was faked or doctored?”
“Anyone who still believes that Thomas Lawson is innocent must be a bit… slow.”
“But has Asher Lawson really been completely exonerated?”
Finished
“Stop arguing. In the end, it is the police investigation and the court’s decision that matter. Winning online debates means nothing.”
“If Thomas is holding a press conference, it’s obviously to clear his name.”
“I’m actually curious how he plans to do that. Ha.”
“Whatever it is, it’s going to be dramatic. I’m glued to the livestream.”
At exactly 3 PM, the press conference began.
When Thomas appeared, he was dressed in an elegant black suit.
He had clearly made an effort; his hairstyle and outfit were impeccable. However, none of this could hide the exhaustion in his features or the heaviness in his eyes.
With countless cameras flashing and lights blinding, Thomas sat at the front of the room.
He didn’t speak right away. His gaze dropped slightly, emotions of struggle and confusion flickering in his
eyes.
I don’t want to be here. But in this moment, I have no choice.
After mentally preparing himself for a long time, Thomas let out a slow breath and finally looked up.
What he saw was a sea of reporters packed tightly into the room.
Flash after flash of cameras, each more blinding than the last.
What Thomas didn’t know was that the livestream for the press conference had already exploded in popularity, with viewers flooding in.
Gently pulling the microphone toward him, he leaned in and spoke calmly.
“I called this press conference today to give you some facts.”

Facts?
The live chat immediately went wild.
“Ha! I knew it. He really is here to clear his name.”
“Come on, just tell us the truth. Let’s see who’s right.”
“He’s probably innocent.”
“Seriously? You all were tearing him apart yesterday.”
Finished
“If he’s brave enough to hold a press conference, maybe he really didn’t do it. I mean, who would confess in public if they were guilty?”
“Let’s at least hear him out before jumping to conclusions.”
“Asher’s fans are really something else. Already trying to blame Thomas?”
“Lol, open your eyes. Thomas is clearly the most suspicious one here.”
Thomas paused for a moment after his first sentence, then continued.
“What I want to tell you is… I was the one who molested Shawn Austin.”
The room fell silent.
Shutters clicked wildly, flashbulbs went off nonstop. The reporters‘ faces were frozen in shock.
Just when everyone thought Thomas was going to clear his name, he confessed instead.
And he didn’t hold back.
“Tampering with the footage, destroying evidence, trying to bribe Edgar into silence… that was me too. Trying to get Asher Lawson to take the fall for me…my idea too.”
Thomas closed his eyes for a moment.
A look of despair washed over his handsome face.
“That’s all I have to say. Well, of course.”
His voice grew weaker, drained of energy.
“Since I’ve admitted everything, I’ll be turning myself in at the police station as soon as this press conference is over.”
By this time, the livestream had completely exploded.
“What the hell!”

“???”
“He just confessed? Like that?”
“Well, that’s that. Guess there’s no mystery left.”
“Do you think someone forced him? He didn’t look like he confessed willingly.”
