Chapter 160 The New Fund Press Conference

Betty, together with Jeffrey, Sarah, Jessica, as well as several photographers went to the press conference.

Jeffrey sat next to Betty. He noticed the

necklace. It must have been a gift from

Kerwin.

Jeffrey recalled that in the past, he had also given a necklace to Betty, although it was not

diamond. He had pretended to be a poor

student and bought her a cheap one.

In retrospect, Jeffrey quite regretted it.

In the car, Kevin the photographer said, “Do

you think Mrs. Martin will show up at the

press conference this time? If so, we’re sure

to be able to get a full-face picture of Mrs.

Martin!”

Jeffrey looked over to Betty, while Betty glanced at him and looked away.

Sarah patted Kevin on the shoulder, “Kevin, at any costs. Whatever you take of the

conference. Mrs. Marin’s is the most

important.”

What? They were going to take hers? It made her laugh. It was only their wishful thinking. How could they get a picture of Mrs. Martin while she was going to disguise herself as a journalist sitting in the press box?

“Betty, your husband must have met Mrs. Martin!” Sarah said to Betty, “What is she like? Will she be at the conference?”

Betty froze for a sec before saying, “He’s never seen her! And Mrs. Martin… is probably not…” Her voice became fainter.

Sarah and the colleagues talked about Mrs. Martin all the way to the conference, while Betty found the contents both funny and

annoying.

The press conference was grand. Huge was the word to describe it. Even the Chicago

television station anchor was here to do live

interviews.

Fancy cars were parked everywhere at the

gate. Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley… and some custom-made ones, all of which were the rides of billionaires.

Their minds were blown away. They were like

some men who had just come out from under

a rock.

“You can look and laugh, but do remember not to ruin the good name of Filson Magazine,” Jeffrey said to them, “You have to get first-hand reports and photos. My hopes are on you guys this time.”

“Don’t worry, Editor-in-Chief!”

“Betty, do you think it is appropriate to dress

like this and do interviews at the press.

conference today?” Jeffrey secretly

whispered to Betty.

“It was Kerwin. I couldn’t do anything about

But you don’t worry. I won’t let it get in the way,” answered Betty.

“That’s not what I meant! Betty!”

Sometimes Jeffrey found Betty’s innocence.

hopeless.

“I actually wanted to tell you that, you’re beautiful today,” he said.

Betty wanted to say something to Jeffrey, but all she felt was helpless.

Sarah urged Betty and Jeffrey, to come over to them and enter together.

There was champagne and a ten-tier cake, as well as other delicacies for the guests, all prepared by first-class French chefs.

“Jeez. What a press conference. Now I’ve seen everything!” It was kind of too much all

at once for Sarah’s eyes.

Celebrities from all walks of life gathered

together in one place. Some stars were also

present. It was a starry day. Everyone was well-dressed, with perfect manners. Beautiful people walked around, laughing and joking with each other.

Jessica couldn’t hold it any longer, “It’s awesome! Tylman Group is awesome! So many dignitaries are invited. They are all extremely prestigious people in society. Now

I’ve seen them all in one day. And the people that we couldn’t even get an appointment

with in the past are all here today.”

Everyone of Filson Magazine found themselves very fortunate to be able to attend such a once-in-a- lifetime event.

When they arrived at the venue, they started to look for their own seats.

The fellow media workers all eyed them with envy and jealousy. How had a second-rate magazine gotten the best reporting position? It was really a first for them.

Sarah and the other colleagues were shocked. The surprise was too big! Filson had gotten the best position. They were really up front. Even the staff of the number one ranking magazine in Chicago were behind them staring in despair.

What was more puzzling and enviable was,

that Betty’s seat was in the first row where

the guests would be! While the TV station anchor’s seat was at the very end of the front row. Betty’s seat was right in the middle of

the first row.

Betty dared not to sit in the first row. She would become nervous. She backed off, while Jessica pointed in front of them, “Your seat is in the first row, Betty.”

“No, I’m not going.’

Sarah and her colleagues had all seated themselves and there was no place for Betty.

She had but to go.

Betty sat quietly in the first row where the guests should be!

Here came the music and the lights were on.

The conference started.

In his wheelchair, Kerwin came out on stage

dazzling, so handsome and dreamy yet not

able to be offended.

On the stage, Kerwin introduced the

risk-control model and structural features of

this fund, as well as its advantages and

profitability characteristics, while Betty lost

in her fantasy off the stage.

It took a while for her to come back into

reality and continued listening carefully.

Everyone was mesmerized by Kerwin, as if

funds were no more important.

Betty heard someone next to her talking

about her husband.

“He’s hot! He’s even hot in a wheelchair, and

he is so talented. What a shame he’s

married.”

“Tell me about it. He’s been a chaste man for

so many years. How come he is suddenly

married? I wonder what a woman could

break a man like him?”

“I’ve never seen her. Maybe it’s a financial marriage and there is nothing between him and the wife, so she keeps hiding from the public.”

“A man like him, self-possessed, gorgeous, rich, talented… I would sleep with him even if

he was a vegetable, let alone the wheelchair

thing.”

“Jeez, the cheeks of someone…”

Hearing the comments, Betty was speechless. Was it really appropriate to talk about her and Kerwin like that?

Kerwin on the stage was so dazzling, like the brightest star in the night sky, while she was like a lily of the valley on the ground. He was up in the sky while she was down on the ground. They just didn’t match… Betty suddenly felt so inferior.

Kerwin on the stage was so brilliant. Betty

felt his brilliance had overshadowed her, with

him being so excellent in everything and her being so normal.

Julia must have never felt this way when she

had been with Kerwin!

The minute the idea popped up in her mind,

Betty killed it immediately.

What was wrong with her? It was the greatest

day. Why the hell was she thinking about

this?

She stopped her idiotic thoughts and focused

her mind on Kerwin on the stage.

Kerwin said a lot about funds and amid the

warm applause, a journalist asked at last, “Mr. Martin, you’ve talked a lot about the fund, but you never told us its name!”

At that, everyone started to realize he hadn’t,

so they all looked at Kerwin.

With a sure and calm look on his face, he

opened his mouth slowly, “The name of the

fund is going to be, Betty Fund.”
