Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

The stage lights went down, and the street surveillance video flashed onto the big screen.

Beside a silver-gray limousine, Lily stooped to the car window, talking to a woman in the car.

The woman could not be seen clearly. When they finished speaking, the woman reached out her hand and handed a piece of paper that looked like a check.

Lily took the check, and her face smiled with delight. She kept nodding her head as if assuring the woman in the car.

Then, the luxury car sped away, and Lily left with her check.

Although the license plate of the car was blurred, Savannah could see that it was one of Susan's cars.

The figure in the car could not be seen clearly, but Savannah knew it was Susan.

However, Dylan blurred the plate number of the car, not for his sister.

If Susan lost her face, he would also be implicated as a member of the Sterling family.

However, if Susan kept looking for Savannah's trouble, he would not let it go.

The lights came on again when the video ended here.

All the reporters present understood now, turning to Lily.

"You really took money from someone else to smear Miss Schultz?"

"Who directed you to do this?"

"You have no morals!"

Lily blushed. She never thought Dylan was so powerful that he could get the surveillance video of her deal with Susan in minutes.

"Do you want to tell me who is behind you?" Dylan asked as he gave an oblique look to the crowd where Susan was.

A shiver ran down Susan's back. Lily failed, and she couldn't involve herself in it. If the reporters knew that the daughter of old Sterling hired a person to slander a model, she would be thoroughly discredited, and her father would be offended too.

Susan shot Lily a warning glance. She could only let it go at that.

Lily immediately got her thoughts. She pushed the reporters away and ran out the door.

"Hey! She ran?"

"What a fuck thing!" Some reporters complained.

Dylan froze the noisy reporters with a cold voice. "JK will cope with the matter later. Defamation is a felony; no one can escape her punishment."

Susan shuddered. The last sentence was obviously said to her.

"Mr. Sterling is right." Kevin stepped up to the reporter, "The theme today is the game advertising conference for Fairy World. Although there is a little incident, it is now clear that Miss Schultz is smeared. Let's not deviate from the theme and continue with the press conference."

Since Dylan and Kevin said that, no one dared to say anything. They returned to their seats silently.

Dan invited Dylan to the seats of honor.

The press conference continued.

A reporter stood up and smiled at Dylan, "Mr. Sterling, you come here today, especially for Miss Shultz, don't you?"

Otherwise, why did he come with a surveillance video?

"Yeah, Mr. Sterling, you seem to take this new spokeswoman seriously."

Savannah's reflections grew oppressive. She forced a professional smile, fearing that her relationship with Dylan would be found out. She was also afraid that Dylan might suddenly say something strange to the reporters.

She had been seen with Dylan when they attended JK's business dinner by some reporters. Pressed by Dylan, no one dared to make the photos public.

But could she escape this time?

Dylan took a look at the nervous little woman on the stage and guessed her mind. He opened his mouth, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"I can't see my…"

Savannah held her breath, clenching her pink fists and her teeth.

No way…Not my woman!

She had the urge to jump down and cover his mouth to stop him!

"I can't see my spokeswoman be wronged." Dylan continued, "I'm also a shareholder of JK, and I don't want to see the press conference for Fairy World be messed up. It's my duty to prove Miss Schultz's innocence."

Savannah sighed deeply. Then she caught Dylan's teasing gaze, biting her lower lip. Dylan meant to frighten her!

"That's true." The reporters all nodded.

"But that's also true that I come here today, especially for Miss Shultz." Dylan continued, making Savannah nervous again.

What the hell is he doing?

Dylan gave Garwood a look.

Garwood took out a rectangular jewelry box that had already been prepared.

The jewelry box is made of fine velvet and looked very luxurious. Once it was opened, the content caught everyone's breath!

It was a necklace featuring a fine vivid yellow diamond enhanced by a string of white diamonds that glittered in the bright light.

Everyone could see that this all-diamond stunner was very valuable. It must have cost a king's ransom!

"It will soon be Miss Schultz's twentieth birthday. This necklace is the birthday gift from Mr. Sterling to her. We hope Miss Schultz will make a good performance as the spokeswoman for Fairy World." Garwood said, facing the crowd.

Looking at the necklace, Savannah was shocked, her heart thumping with emotion.

Birthday gift...

He knew her birthday and sent her a birthday present on such an occasion?

All the reporters were shocked too.

"My god, Mr. Sterling, paid JK's spokesperson so generously! The price of the necklace is at least seven figures!"

"No, it's worth considerably more than that! The yellow gem must be one of the world's biggest Asscher cut diamonds. I guess it's worth at least 10 million dollars!"

"Oh my god, it's so lucky for Miss Schultz to become JK's spokesperson!"

When Dylan gave a gift to Savannah as JK's shareholder, no one would doubt their relationship.

Dylan picked up the necklace and walked up to Savannah.

Savannah looked back, "Dylan, I can't take the gift… It's too expensive."

"That's good. It doesn't deserve you if it is not expensive." Dylan said simply, his eyes sparkling with pride.

Savannah bit her lip and said nothing more.

He pulled up her hair and wore the necklace around her neck. Then he turned his back to the crowd, deliberately lowered his head, and kissed her ear.
