Chapter 67


    Chapter 67 A Press Conference


    Jennie came to Jazmine early the next morning. As soon as she saw Jazmine, she asked thetter


    about


    Yoselin.


    On Christmas Eve, Giancarlo took Yoselin to the hospital and spent a whole night with her there. Later,


    the shocking news that Yoselin was pregnant became in the air.


    As Jazmine’s friend, Jennie hated Yoselin so much that she kept cursing Yoselin.


    Unlike Jennie, Jazmine herself was calm, and she sat next to Jennie. She had thought a lotst night.


    She knew clearly what she wanted.


    She said to Jennie in a gentle voice, “Jennie, Yoselin will be Giancarlo’s wife sooner orter. It’s what


    he wishes. I can’t go against him.


    “He thought Yoselin couldn’t get pregnant and asked me to give birth to a child topensate her.


    That’s why he hasn’t divorced me yet. Now, she is pregnant. It’s good news for me.”


    “You are too passive. You are Giancarlo’s legal spouse. As long as you don’t divorce him, Yoselin will


    be a mistress for the rest of her life.” Jennie didn’t agree with Jazmine.


    Jazmine continued, “Jennie, as you know, Giancarlo doesn’t love me. What’s more, he destroyed my


    family. I can’t stay married to him any longer. I feel guilty about my father at the thought that my unborn


    baby will call Giancarlo his or her father in the future. Now, Yoselin is pregnant. It will distract him…”


    Jennie understood what Jazmine implied.


    She stared at Jazmine for a long time before she sighed in frustration, “I don’t know how long I can hide


    your mom. If Giancarlo wants to find her, he can do so in less than a day.”


    “Let me think about it again.” Jazmine did not want to put Jennie in trouble, nor did she want to


    abandon her


    mother.


    She fell into a dilemma.


    She hadn’t made up her mind to leave. Besides, she had to make it clear what she needed to do and


    how she prevented Giancarlo from finding her if she decided to leave.


    Due to the news rted to Giancarlo, the stock prices of the Tapia Group had been plummeting all


    morning.


    All the shareholders of the Tapia Group were furious, especially Aaron, who was also at the helm of the


    group.


    He left it to Jazmine, who was Giancarlo’s wife as well as his private secretary. He told Jazmine about


    his n. As long as she rified the rtionship between Yoselin and Giancarlo and announced that


    she was pregnant at a press conference, she could help him save the Tapia Group.


    Jazmine didn’t care if the Tapia Group could get the crisis through at all.


    However, Aaron used the Gardner Group as an exchange.


    Jazmine was unable to refuse.


    The press conference was held in the afternoon.


    Aaron had asked his people to prepare a script. ording to him, all the journalists would ask


    questions based on the script. As long as she memorized it, there would be no problems.


    At the press conference, Jazmine, who was thin, sat straight on the stage. She tried hard to gather her


    courage to face the shing lights. She clenched her fists tightly.


    She used the pain to stabilize her emotions, forcing herself to bear it for the Gardner Group and the


    freedom


    of her unborn baby.


    “Mrs. Tapia, are you nning to rify Ms. Larsen’s identity at the press conference?”


    Jazmine was flustered at the first question as it was not on the script.


    After a while, Jazmine calmed herself down. “Thanks for your question. Ms. Larsen has always been a


    good friend of my husband. There is nothing to rify about this. I held the press conference just to


    introduce another member of our family to everyone.”


    The journalists were confused by her words. Didn’t she say that Yoselin and Giancarlo were only


    friends? Then, what did she refer the other family member to?


    They found the loophole in Jazmine’s words and asked her many irrelevant questions.


    “Mrs. Tapia, Mr. Tapia has been staying with Ms. Larsen. Are you not angry at all?”


    “Mrs. Tapia, is the new family member you mentioned the child in Ms. Larsen’s belly?”


    “Mrs. Tapia, you are in such a hurry to hold a press conference because of Ms. Larsen’s pregnancy,


    right?”


    “Mrs. Tapia…”


    Jazmine got overwhelmed. She had been living a happy life before she got married. Even though she


    experienced a lot after marrying Giancarlo, she did not need to face so many malicious attacks.


    It seemed that she was surrounded by lots of people who wanted to hurt her. She instantly panicked.


    She subconsciously looked around, hoping that she could find anyone to help her.


    Then, she fell into despair.


    “Mrs. Tapia, please answer our questions.”


    “Mrs. Tapia, do you hear us?”


    Jazmine couldn’t stand it anymore and growled, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m pregnant,


    and the Tapia family is about to have a new member. Isn’t that good news? I hope that you guys can


    feel happy


    about it as well. Why do you keep mentioning Ms. Larsen in front of me? She’s just a confidante of my

    husband.”


    Jazmine meant that Yoselin was just a friend of Giancarlo, but everyone else knew that was not the


    case. There were murmurs from the journalists as soon as Jazmine finished speaking.


    The journalists found it a good chance to make big news and became increasingly excited. “Mrs. Tapia,


    do you imply that Mr. Tapia has a special rtionship with Ms. Larsen?”


    “Mrs. Tapia, don’t you mind it at all? It is said that Ms. Larsen is also pregnant with Mr. Tapia’s child.”


    She had thought that she could deal with the conference. However, she underestimated herself. She


    felt more


    and more embarrassed.


    She felt as if she was a naked woman standing under the spotlight. Beingughed at, she could hardly


    breathe


    anymore.


    She could not hear what the journalists asked clearly.


    Her belly seemed to hurt.


    She thought, my baby, are you sad because of the insults from those people? I’m sorry. I’m too useless


    to


    protect you.


    Let’s go home.


    “Mrs. Tapia, stop.”


    It was chaos as many journalists ran up to the stage. Some of them reached out to pull Jazmine by her


    arm


    and almost made her fall.


    “Stay away from me.”


    Jazmine was helpless.


    A vicious voice sounded in the ear, “Your baby shouldn’t be born.”


    Then, she was forcefully pushed out.


    Her mind was full of the horror that she was about to fall to the ground. Surprisingly, she was in a warm


    embrace the next moment. She quickly raised her head and saw David’s smile.


    Jazmine’s eyes became watery.


    David shouted to the journalists, “If you dare to rush up again, I won’t let you off easily.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, several bodyguards ran over from outside to keep order.


    Jazmine had been holding her nerve. As she was finally safe, she felt relieved and had a ckout


    instantly.


    Before she passed out, Jazmine heard Aaron’s exasperated voice.


    “David, let go of Jazmine. How could you…”


    Jazmine fainted before she could hear the whole sentence.
