As he spoke, Elissa was in a daze.

After his statement, Raphael took her hand and said, "I'm sorry for involving you in this matter, Elissa. I promise to be a good husband and father from now on."

All the cameras focused on Elissa's face.

If she uttered even a single wrong word, Raphael's reputation would be at stake. But they were in this together now. In the eyes of the public, she was Raphael's wife. Moreover, she had signed the agreement with him.

After composing herself, Elissa spoke in a measured tone, almost mechanically. "I have full trust in my husband. I believe he is a dependable man who would never betray me or our family, nor would he entertain relationships with other women while committed to me. Regarding Miss Lee's allegations, despite the fact that they have cast a negative light on our family and relationship, my husband and I, out of compassion, have decided to cover all of her medical expenses as well as her Living expenses once she is discharged from the hospital."

After a brief pause, she added, "Finding someone you love isn't easy, so I'll cherish this relationship and the happiness it brings."

The audience applauded and praised Elissa for her generosity. They all believed Raphael was fortunate to have such a sensible wife.

They then directed blame at Sandra for breaking up a family.

Everything appeared to be going smoothly, but Elissa felt a deep sense of disgust. She truly looked down on Raphael and herself.

Raphael wasn't really so innocent, yet now the only one receiving criticism was the unfortunate woman lying in the hospital bed.

Elissa couldn't shake the feeling that she had become the type of person she once despised the most.

After the conference ended, the reporters left the venue.

The personnel of the PR department of Pryor Technology could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The price of the company's stock stabilized after the press conference.

Everyone was excited to celebrate the victory. Raphael joined the employees as they held a party in the hall. However, Elissa stood in the corner, watching Raphael accept congratulations from the employees and appear genuinely happy.

ALL of a sudden, it seemed as though she had never truly known this man, and simultaneously, she felt sympathy for Sandra.

When they fell for Raphael, those women could only see Raphael's elegant facade and become infatuated with him. However, they didn't realize that Raphael had already given all his love to Olivia, so he wouldn't genuinely care about any other women.

Now, she finally grasped that Sandra really meant nothing to Raphael.

In the bustling banquet hall, the couple played their roles in front of the crowd.

However, when their eyes met, there was a sense of unfamiliarity between them.

It was nearly noon when Raphael left the company with Elissa. By this time, public opinion had shifted, and there were no reporters blocking their path. In a cheerful tone, Raphael turned to Elissa and said, "It seems the matter has been resolved, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."

Hearing his words, Elissa forced a smile.

As she was about to step into the car, a woman's voice erupted from nowhere, saying, "You shameless liar! It's because of you that my Sandy became the target of all this criticism. How could you be so heartless, huh? When you were dating Raphael, he was already in a relationship with my daughter. You bitch!"

Following the accusation, a dozen eggs were hurled at Elissa.
