Chapter 314: The Spotlight +8 Pearls

“Hello everyone, I’m Summer, the head of Stewart Group. I apologize for the personal matters that have caused a stir recently, so I’m here today to clarify a few things.”

Francis, holding his interview notes, began asking the prepared questions.

“Ms. Stewart, before we discuss who your boyfriend is, our audience has some questions they’re curious about.”

Francis knew Summer was here primarily to address the rumors. But to maintain high ratings, he decided to first heighten the audience’s curiosity about Summer’s boyfriend.

“Go ahead,” Summer said.

“Can you describe what kind of person your boyfriend is?”

Thinking of Fraser and their recent events, she recalled his audacious and carefree demeanor, his laid-back approach. He could also be very gentle and quite dominating, managing everything effortlessly. Yet, her presence…

Summer smiled, “He’s a man who makes me feel very secure.”

Francis replied, “It sounds like Ms. Stewart’s boyfriend is quite the partner! How did you two meet?”

“It was simple,” Summer said, “he saved me.”

Francis continued, “Wow, he saved you, and you feel secure with him. Can you describe how you two usually interact?”

“Though he occasionally irritates me, most of the time, he’s actually very gentle.”

The audience reacted, connecting the dots to Lucas of Aldridge Group, known for his charm and elegance. The crowd began to murmur, “It must be Lucas! They should get together!”

Francis noted the audience’s reaction, “It seems like everyone has guessed who Summer’s boyfriend might be, right?”

Suddenly, the camera panned to a man in the crowd. Lucas was there, dressed in a silver-gray suit, exhibiting a gentlemanly demeanor. Francis’ eyes lit up.

“We didn’t expect Mr. Trac from Aldridge Crown to be here today. Is he here perchance… he’s…”

The audience got excited, shouting, “Official announcement! Marriage!”

Summer was startled to see Lucas.

Francis, leaving Summer aside, stood in the middle of the stage and shouted, “Let’s invite Mr. Lucas to join us on stage.”

Backstage, Winston was flabbergasted and rushed to the producer.

“This isn’t right, isn’t today’s interview supposed to be about Ms. Stewart? Why is Lucas being brought up on stage?”

The producer, thrilled, said, “What do you know? This is what makes an interview!”

Meanwhile, at the Graham Group’s opulent office, Fraser lounged in his office chair, legs casually crossed, as he picked up a crystal photo album from the desk. His gaze was fixed on a little girl in the album; his fingertips brushed over her image, a slight smile on his lips. “After all these turns, Summer, you finally came back to me.”

Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Mike, hearing the man inside say “Come in,” opened the door and gestured for Jamie, the Vice President of Public Relations, to enter. Jamie had been summoned by Fraser’s assistant, Mike, earlier that morning. He was responsible for managing the global public relations of the Graham Group. Such a summons likely meant something significant was about to be announced.

Jamie walked into the office, standing before the desk, looking at the regal and handsome man seated there. “Mr. Graham, what do you need?”

Fraser set the photo frame back on the desk neatly, his voice low and casual, “Issue a global announcement on the Graham Group’s official website today.”

Nearing the contents of the announcement, Jamie’s face showed unmistakable shock; his voice trembled.

“Mr. Graham, are you confirming… a marriage with Ms. Stewart from the Stewart Group? Forgive my bluntness, but your marriage has implications not just within Graham Group but also for broader social dynamics. I recommend that holding a shareholders’ meeting might be… prudent.”

Jamie felt a chill run down his spine as Fraser’s icy gaze swept over him, goosebumps rising on his skin. Jamie bowed his head lower. “Mr. Graham, I… didn’t mean that, it’s just… this is really… significant.”
