Chapter 906 Calling the Police
Branden held Catherine's hand high and displayed the image of them holding hands. He held a microphone and looked firmly at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on the female journalist who had just asked a question.
"Murder is a serious crime, and whoever commits it will naturally face legal consequences. If you have evidence or clues, please submit them to the relevant authorities as soon as possible. I believe you will get a satisfactory answer. Spreading rumors carries legal responsibility. My fiancée and I reserve the right to hold you accountable," he added.
The warned journalist turned pale with fear. She had only wanted to pressure Branden to answer the question while everyone was present. It was a potential breaking story, not only increasing newspaper sales but also potentially propelling her career to new heights. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the risk.
However, she never expected Branden not only to boldly respond to her question but also to issue a warning.
The journalist was so scared that she had intended to give up, but then she received a new message on his phone. After seeing the content, her eyes immediately lit up. Her chance to turn the tables had arrived.
Even though Branden had already answered the last question, the female journalist boldly inquired, "Mr. Duncan, does this mean you unconditionally trust your fiancée?"
Branden turned and led Catherine away without intending to respond. When the journalist caught up, Paxton intercepted her.
"Miss, Mr. Duncan said there would be only ten minutes for questions. We have already exceeded that time. Please show some respect."
Despite Paxton's attempt to stop her, the female journalist showed no signs of giving up and continued to shout in the direction Branden had left. "Mr. Duncan, as an anonymous journalist, I'm not afraid of being targeted. Can't you respond to my question? Are you worried about making a mistake if you say too much?"
Branden stopped, turned around, and approached the journalist.
The onlookers felt uneasy, fearing that something was about to happen, but no one dared to intervene.
Paxton knew the journalist was in trouble. Even he was angry just by looking at the journalist, let alone Branden. However, it wasn't the time to reprimand the journalist, especially in public.
Paxton wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare to do so. He could only hope that Catherine would step in.
Catherine remained calm, almost like an outsider. Paxton kept signaling to her, hoping she would intervene.
The female journalist, seeing Branden approaching step by step, was so scared that she kept swallowing hard. She was extremely nervous right now, considering Branden's ruthless personality. No one dared to offend him. Her actions today were definitely asking for trouble.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the dangerous scene to unfold.
As Branden was about to take action, Catherine, who was standing beside him, rushed forward and grabbed the journalist's collar.
The onlookers were shocked by the scene, never expecting Catherine to be the one to take action.
Catherine grabbed the journalist's collar and coldly scrutinized her. "I'm right here. If you have questions, ask me. Today the Duncan Corporation's press conference, yet you keep asking unrelated questions. What are your intentions?" Catherine directly countered the journalist, leaving her momentarily speechless.
"Miss Swann, you made a high-profile appearance at the press conference. As Mr. Duncan's future wife, your reputation is being tarnished online. Don't you think you should clarify things? As a journalist, I have the right to help the public know the truth," the journalist said.
Catherine sneered, her eyes filled with sarcasm. "Oh, really? What a good reason. Claiming to help the public know the truth, huh? I think you're a spy! The release of the seventh- generation chip is so important, and everyone wants to know more about it. But here you are, asking irrelevant questions. You're surely a spy!"
People's attitude toward the female journalist changed. The attendees invited today were all professionals in the chip industry, and upon learning about the new chip, they were excited to gain more information about it. Getting a chance to ask questions was extremely valuable. The journalist's continuous pursuit of gossip seemed quite out of place.
Seeing her credibility being questioned, the female journalist became agitated, continuously mentioning the online video, attempting to tarnish Catherine's reputation.
Catherine's response was unexpectedly firm. She took out her phone and dialed a number in front of everyone. "Hello, I need to report something. I saw a video
online..."
No one expected Catherine to publicly call the police. This provided strong evidence, and proved her innocence. After all, if she had committed a crime,
wouldn't this be like walking into a trap?

journalist. "I'm reporting myself. Would you dare to do the same? i You

The journalist fell silent. Although she was confident she wasn't a spy, her phone held too many secrets. If he were taken away by the National Security Bureau,
her life would be ruined.
Seeing this, Catherine took Branden's hand, saying, "Let's go."
Branden held her hand and left.

noticing Branden's bright smile, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He thought that perhaps the reason Branden held such a high-profile press conference was to clear Catherine's name. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!
