Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Reporters Chasing Shadows
 

‘Clang!’

Upon hearing the sound of a spoon dropping onto the plate, Emily Walker paused her eating, looking puzzled as she turned her head towards the side.

As she raised her head, she saw the female employee beside her staring at her in a daze.

“What’s wrong?”

“You, you’re Emily Walker from the Design Department, right?” The female employee asked blankly.

Although Emily was somewhat taken aback, she answered truthfully, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

“You, are you the daughter of the Walker Consortium?”

“…”

My God, this woman, who had always been prejudiced against her, turned out to be the daughter of a historical financial group, no wonder she became the Chief Designer as soon as she entered the company.

Originally, they thought she had climbed her way up by following some unspoken rules.

At this thought, the female employee couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

Wouldn’t she have heard those previous whispers in the restroom about her?

Emily hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to look at the LCD TV not far away.

On the screen, a news report was playing, showing a press conference held by Chairman Walker.

No wonder everyone was so engrossed in watching; even Emily couldn’t help but become absorbed in it.

“Chairman Walker, may I ask, who is the child you found twenty years ago? And why are you now claiming that Camila Walker is your daughter?”

“The controversy had lasted for a year at the time, and in order to settle things and ensure the peace of our family, I took in the daughter of a close friend who had passed away in a car accident. I thought it was a happy solution, so why not?”

“So when did you find your actual daughter? And have you confirmed that she is indeed your real daughter?”

“Yes, I actually found my flesh and blood quite a long time ago, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to go public due to certain reasons.”

“So does that mean that Miss Camila Walker is not the daughter of the Walker family?”

“No, even though I’ve found my real daughter, Camila is still my daughter, and the two of them get along very well. Although there have been some misunderstandings in the past, they have been resolved now, and the two of them are like sisters.”

“Really? But recently, there have been some videos and photos on the Internet that seem to show that Miss Camila Walker and Lady Silas are not getting along, and they even fought by the river.”

Upon hearing this, Baxter Walker was startled.

He had also heard a little about the video on the Internet, but he didn’t expect them to be able to identify Emily and Camila from such a distance.

These reporters really know how to catch the wind and shadows.

“I think you must have made a mistake. The two girls in the photos are not my daughters.” Baxter believed he could avoid this point.

After all, the photos and videos had never captured a clear shot of the two girls’ faces, and if it weren’t for the clothes they were wearing that day, and knowing that it was Camila who had sent her home, he wouldn’t have suspected that Emily and Camila were in the video.

As long as he didn’t admit it, the reporters would naturally not be able to get to the bottom of it, and without solid evidence, they wouldn’t dare to spread rumors and gossip.

Rumors are, after all, just rumors; without any actual evidence, they can’t constitute facts.

Watching her parents’ composed expression as they faced the reporters’ speculation on the screen, Emily suddenly felt a warm current seep into her heart.

No matter what, her parents would always protect her and her sister in the best way possible, not letting them get hurt in any way.
