CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 280: THEIR TRUE RELATIONSHIP

After all, Sienna Quinn can come back to life once, but she can’t come back a second time.

The press conference arrived as scheduled. Early in the morning, Vera Yates dressed beautifully, and as soon as she stepped out of the apartment building, she was surrounded by a swarm of reporters, and the numerous flashbulbs almost blinded her.

If Vera Yates hadn’t received that phone call, she might have been truly annoyed by the reporters. But now it’s different; these reporters are her crucial weapon to reclaim the situation.

Vera Yates stood in place, smiling at everyone in front of her, with an alluring curve at the corner of her mouth, and she slowly began, "What do you want to ask?"

"Miss Vance, we hope you can respond to the rumors online. Is it really as you said? Did you orchestrate everything on the internet?" One reporter asked the question everyone wanted to know, all of them thrusting microphones toward Vera Yates’s lips.

Facing this pointed question, Vera Yates wasn’t afraid at all; instead, she smiled and nodded, saying, "I know what you’re trying to ask, and I understand. But since there will be a press conference soon, you should know all the questions will be answered then." She spoke calmly, facing the crowd before her.

Her confidence made everyone suspicious. If the video online is true, then how can Vera Yates be so assured now? It’s really hard to understand what this woman is thinking.

Everyone followed Vera Yates curiously, heading towards the press conference. When she arrived, Landon Lawson and Nolan Shaw were already there.

"Stephen!" A coquettish call rang out as she ran to his side, the smiles in their eyes made the reporters around them stunned. Could this be their attempt to dispel the rumors? To show everyone that the two of them are genuinely in love?

It seems the rumors online still have some issues.

Landon looked at Vera Yates and slowly said, "Sit down, we still have tasks to accomplish today."

"Stephen, I know you’ve always been the best to me, but will Sienna blame you for this today? You know she’s always misunderstanding our relationship."

Landon stared intently at Vera Yates’s face, trying to find her true thoughts in her eyes, but he couldn’t discern anything. He gently shook his head and said, "Let’s talk about it at the press conference later."

After everyone was seated, Nolan Shaw stood aside with a microphone, saying, "If anyone has questions, feel free to ask."

"President Lawson, we just want to know, is your relationship with Sienna Quinn as stated in the video, that you are still married?"

Landon gave the reporter a cold look, then glanced at Vera Yates beside him, who smiled and nodded at him. Her smiling expression made Landon feel this woman was suddenly unfamiliar. The phone call from Nolan yesterday was actually made at Landon’s request, intended to ensure Vera Yates attends today’s conference. He couldn’t afford mistakes anymore; Sienna had many complaints toward him already, and further misunderstandings would risk losing his wife and child.

Vera Yates felt a sense of exhilaration. On her way here, she had already instructed her assistant to call Sienna, to make sure she watched the live stream of the conference, no matter what. Her intention was clear, to attack the heart.

"Yes!"

The crowd was in uproar, disbelief written all over as they looked at Landon Lawson. He didn’t refute but boldly admitted it. Was this the answer he planned to give everyone today?

Vera Yates was stunned, turning her head in surprise to look at Landon Lawson. What did he say? Admitting to the relationship with Sienna Quinn? How could this be? What’s happening here? Vera didn’t want to believe it; did Landon know the consequences of such an answer?

"Stephen!"

Vera Yates was truly anxious now. If this continued, today’s meeting would not harm Sienna but harm her greatly.

With anger barely contained, she slowly began, "Do you know what you’re saying? You realize how much impact this has on me?"

Landon glanced at her coldly and slowly said, "I know, but over the past five years, I’ve helped you a lot. However, what I owe Sienna and Evan is so much, never compensated, and I don’t want to delay you any longer."

Landon Lawson was determined today, no matter what, to make everything public.

Vera Yates stared blankly at Landon Lawson, feeling disdain, deep disdain, which made one feel so sad.

The setup, at this moment Vera finally realized, was orchestrated by Landon Lawson and Nolan Shaw to ensure she attended this press conference. Only this way, could everyone believe what Landon said. Vera never doubted Landon’s feelings for Sienna, but today, at this moment, she finally realized a crucial point. Landon’s heart had long been filled by that woman, leaving no place for Vera.

After the conference ended, Landon solemnly nodded to the gloomy Vera Yates and said, "Regarding grandma’s matter, I was wrong not to inform you earlier, but it has happened, so we must face it calmly now."

Vera Yates pressed her lips tightly. At this moment, she finally believed that within Landon’s heart, there had always only been Sienna, never any room for her.

Painfully closing her eyes, realizing that in the past five years, she still hadn’t succeeded in capturing Landon Lawson.

"Stephen, do you really like Sienna that much?"

"I do. I didn’t know before, but now I realize nothing compares to Sienna and Evan. As long as the two of them are by my side, I want nothing else." Landon slowly said, now realizing the most important thing in his life was these two.

Vera Yates painfully closed her eyes. How ironic. From the very start, she’d been the redundant one. Everyone else had been more important, yet she had never truly acknowledged this issue.

"I’m sorry!"

After speaking, Landon Lawson turned and left with Nolan Shaw.

Vera Yates stood there blankly, watching the man’s back.
