Reese’s words shocked everyone, including Monica, who turned to look at Reese.
When she saw how emotional Reese was, something flashed in her eyes.
All she wanted was to explain things clearly instead of making the misunderstanding worse.
She turned to look at Finn, who was standing at the side, and saw him looking at her coldly.
However, she lowered her eyes and chose to help Michael get through the current situation.
“Mrs. Ross, is what you said true?” The reporter suddenly reacted.
“It’s true!” Reese said resolutely and then looked at Monica with anticipation. “Monica, tell the reporter. You and Finn got divorced a long time ago, right?”
Monica bit her lip, not knowing what to answer.
If she answered no now, Michael’s career would probably be dommed. However, if she had to answer yes, she did not know how she would face Finn.
“Monica, don’t be afraid. Tell the reporters that you and Michael aren’t having an affair. You’re a free woman and in a normal relationship with Michael,” Reese pleaded.
Monica bit her lip and nodded silently.
She knew what would happen if she nodded, but she could not refuse at that moment.
She was afraid that if she said no, Michael’s life would be over.
Before this, she could have cast aside their friendship and said that what Michael was facing now had nothing to do with her. However, if she exposed Reese’s lies now, everything Michael was facing would be tied to her. In that case, she would never be able to live in peace in the future and be with Finn.
Seeing Monica nod, Reese secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she hurriedly said to the reporters, “If not for Michael’s father falling sick, Monica and Michael would have announced their engagement long ago. It’s only because of everything going on at home that they haven’t had the time to announce their relationship, and we didn’t expect you guys to make such a big deal out of it either.”
“But if the two of you are together, why didn’t you say so earlier? Why didn’t you say anything when Michael’s image was damaged?” the reporter asked.
“As I said, a lot of things have been going on at home, and Michael hasn’t had the time to deal with his personal matters. He also got into a car accident due to overwork today, and he hasn’t even had time to recuperate. What’s more, he still has a lot of things to do. But since you guys managed to catch us today, we might as well clarify things,” Reese explained imposingly.
She turned to Michael and said, “Michael, you need rest. Let’s go.”
