Chapter 1090

“Just wait and see,” Nash said with a mysterious smile, then led Nina into the office.
The three of them had barely sat down when the secretary knocked on the door and entered, her expression tense. She glanced nervously at Eugene but didn’t dare speak. “Whatever it is, just say it,” Nash instructed.
“Michael is downstairs, speaking to the reporters and bad-mouthing Mr. Lowe,” the secretary blurted out. However, before she could finish her sentence, Eugene shot up from his seat, ready to confront Michael. Nash grabbed his arm, feigning seriousness as he advised, “You took away his love. What’s a few insults in return? The man’s lost a lifetime of happiness.”
Eugene paused, then burst into laughter. “Right, right. If that helps him feel better, let him go on. There’s no need to stop him.”
The two exchanged a knowing look, their silent understanding needing no words.
Although the press conference appeared to be forced, it was actually part of Nash’s plan all along.
He instructed the secretary to gather the reporters in the first-floor meeting room before they leisurely headed downstairs. As they approached the room, they could already hear Michael’s voice, still speaking ill of Eugene. The three of them exchanged weary glances and shook their heads.
Nash pushed the door open and entered first. The noisy meeting room instantly fell silent, leaving only the sound of their footsteps.
“Isn’t that Mrs. York? I think her name is Nina. What’s she doing here? Shouldn’t Zoe be the one handling this?” someone whispered.
“I don’t know. Maybe Zoe was too embarrassed to show up and sent her in her place.”
Some reporters questioned Nina’s presence, but Nash and the others pretended not to hear. Once they were seated, the secretary began handing out gifts to the reporters, which only intensified the confusion in the room. Everyone was waiting for Eugene to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen, you all know about the incident involving Mr. Lowe at my company. Mr. Lowe has demanded that I provide an explanation, and indeed…” Nash began.
However, Eugene interrupted him, “Mr. York, no matter what you say, it’s pointless. Just tell us how you plan to handle this.”
Nash shot Eugene a questioning look, but Eugene ignored it.
He turned to the reporters and raised his voice, “Do you all know what drug I was given? It was an aphrodisiac. I’m sure everyone knows what that does. So, Mr. York, what was your intention? Were you trying to embarrass me, or were you hoping I’d end up in a compromising situation with one of your employees?”
The room erupted in murmurs.
Nash’s expression darkened as he squeezed Nina’s hand.
Nina was now certain that Eugene really intended to take over York Corporation. She wanted to have the secretary notify Zoe to come over, but Nash stopped her.
“This,” Nina said, pointing to her phone, indicating the headline she had seen earlier.
Nash nodded in acknowledgment, then shook his head, saying nothing.
At that moment, Michael stood up and coldly challenged Eugene, “Mr. Lowe, before you demand an explanation from others, perhaps you should clarify your relationship with Miss Zoe. I’ve heard you’ve caused her a lot of trouble, constantly pestering her.” “Mr. Lowe, is that true? Is that why Miss Zoe isn’t here today? Is she afraid of you?” another reporter asked.
“Mr. Lowe, we’ve also heard that you once took Miss Zoe to the hospital. Can you tell us why?”
All eyes were on Eugene, giving Nash the opportunity he needed.
Nash gave the secretary a nod, and after the secretary left, he kicked Eugene under the table.
“What was that for?” Eugene muttered, frustrated.
He hadn’t expected Nash to stay silent while Michael spread rumors about him. His anger flared as Nash’s kick caught him off guard.
The audience in the room were startled, falling into a tense silence as they watched the interaction unfold.
