I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 570 After that day, at the press conference for Zolantix Pharmaceuticals' Jaunch of its first targeted drug in Dalea, Sawyer answered the question reporters were most eager to ask. "Mr. Burton, some rumors surfaced a few days ago at your engagement party. Could you share your thoughts on them?" The public was curious, and so were the reporters. Connor's scandal, involving the sexual coercion of a female student, had already sent shockwaves through Draventh. Sawyer, dressed in a suit, scanned the room, his expression calm. "I don't know the details about those rumors.

I only know that my fiancee is innocent. Whatever happens, I hope the media can allow her the personal space she deserves. Thank you." He neither denied nor admitted Connor's actions. He simply removed Kate from the situation first. A reporter followed up, "Mr. Burton, do you trust your fiancee that much?" Sawyer's gaze was steady. "Of course. She's the only person in my 30 years of life with whom I want to spend the rest of my life. She's virtuous, pure-hearted, and deserves my complete trust and protection.

This is my first time answering a personal question." The sentence felt like it should have a continuation, but Sawyer stopped there. His gaze swept across the room, and he stood up to leave. The reporters were a little confused. "I thought he was going to add 'and it will be the last time'." But he didn't. That left the reporters feeling baffled. The answers to these two questions were clipped from the footage and released separately across all the major media platforms. In just one afternoon, they started trending.

Countless women online envied Kate, saying she had landed the heroine's role-or even the princess' role-in this life. She had a privileged background, stunning looks, and a good personality. Even if her family faced scandals, she had found a man who loved and protected her completely. Wasn't this every woman's dream? Not just the netizens, but even the young ladies in Draventh's high society were green with envy. "Kate's lucky. Her mother killed herself, and her family clashed with the Ravelle and Snider families.

Families like hers would usually vanish from Draventh, but she happened to meet Sawyer." "Exactly. Outsiders don't know what she's done, but we do." "I heard that some fortune teller predicted she'd have a hard life. But look at her now. She's doing pretty well." Although Sawyer wasn't born into wealth, his talent and outstanding abilities had earned him a place among Draventh's new elite. People who looked into his past found a spotless record. He had no hidden vices and was disciplined, handsome, upright, and socially influential. So, why did such a good man choose Kate?

The young ladies were both angry and jealous, yet they had no choice but to flatter Kate. After all, with the launch of Zolantix Pharmaceuticals' new drug, Dalea's attention was riveted. The company's prestige soared, and its market value rose substantially. The local elite of Draventh naturally wanted to curry favor. That was a lifesaving drug, after all. For a while, the Pearson residence was filled with a steady flow of guests. They showered Kate with compliments, constantly talking about how lucky she was.
