Chapter 249

“I believe you,” he uttered after some time, clearing my doubts.

“Really?”

Touched that he had chosen to believe me, my eyes turned misty and a lump formed in my throat.

“I know what kind of a person she is. Let me handle this, alright? I'm not going to let you get
slandered.”

Though he didn't reply to my question, everything he said almost made me burst into tears.

“Thank you,” I stated softly.

He could have ignored the matter since he would not be dragged along, considering people would not
dare to badmouth him. Still, he decided to help me, and that proved just how good he was to me. I was
merely an ordinary person, so the public's continuous harsh opinions would seriously take a toll on me.

“You don't need to thank me, Anna. Nobody's allowed to bully you except me, after all,” he replied.

In an instant, my feelings hit rock bottom again. So he only helped me because of his own
possessiveness. To him, I was still the woman nobody else could bully but him.

“You really have a tendency to ruin the moment, didn't you? I don't feel touched anymore. Thanks a
lot,” I uttered sarcastically.

Couldn't he have at least pretended that he cares about me?



“Why do you get touched so easily, Anna?” His voice remained indifferent, but I could hear the smile
hidden in it.

“How do you plan to resolve this matter? Is it going to get tricky?”

It's not like I'm doubting his abilities... I believe in him more than anyone. However, given our current
relationship, I don't want to cause him trouble, especially when the matter directly involves me.

“You don't have to worry about anything involving this. I'll hold a press conference tomorrow and clear
everything at once,” he reassured.

After our call ended, I had a hard time recollecting myself. Although our relationship had ended, I could
still feel the concern he felt toward me. Maybe even more so than when we were still together.

My eyes landed on the newspaper once again, and a frustrated frown made its way on my face. At that
moment, my hatred toward Emma had increased drastically.

The woman had always bothered me when I had never intentionally provoked someone. It must be her
way to project her irritation for failing to make Michael fall for her. To say that I didn't resent would be a
complete lie.

I stayed at home for the rest of the day because I knew I would not be able to withstand the judgmental
stares and insults I would receive outside.

Since I was still afraid of going out the following day, I decided to watch TV to relieve my boredom at
home.



Switching on the device, the first thing that showed up on the screen was Michael's press conference.
He was sitting on the stage, looking as cold as ever, with flashes of cameras illuminating his face.

“Mr. Shaw, mind telling us who the woman in the photo is? According to the newspapers, she's your
mistress who's trying to ruin your current relationship. Is that true?” asked one of the reporters boldly.

Upon hearing his questions, the man's already cold face turned even more stoic as his rage-filled eyes
glared at the reporter.

“I'm going to resolve this matter right here and now. The woman in the photo is the woman I love. She
is not a mistress. From now on, I don't want anyone to label her as a mistress!”

Everyone was stunned by this revelation because he was known as the ruthless man who had never
fallen for any woman before. To hear those words coming right from him was beyond shocking.

My reaction was no different from theirs.

Did he seriously just admit that he loves me in front of the whole country? No. I must be dreaming.
Michael would never do such a reckless thing.

“Just to make sure, Mr. Shaw. The woman you claimed you love is that Anna Garcia woman, correct?”
questioned the same reporter from earlier, trying to get a confirmation.

“Haven't I made myself clear? I'm going to catch the culprit behind this issue!”



Although he didn't directly voice that the woman he loved was me, his tone alone was enough
assurance.

A commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd; the reporters didn't know what else to ask.
Perhaps it was because Michael's answers were not what they had expected.

“From this day on, all of you better not disturb her anymore.”

With that said, he stood up and left the press conference. Even when he was out of sight, my heart was
still pounding.

When he told me he would resolve this issue, I never envisioned the solution to be him telling the whole
country that he loved me.

Moreover, his fiancée was the one who had pulled this stunt, so what he did would be a huge slap to
Emma.

I had to admit that it made me feel like I still had a special place in his heart. Even though we could not
end up together, my heart still burst with joy when he held a press conference just for me.

Turning off the TV, I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.

As if expecting my call, he picked up in no time, and his flat voice echoed from the other line, “Have
you watched my press conference?”

“Yes. I watched it just now.” My heart palpitated again upon remembering what he had said at the press



conference.

We fell into silence for a while. “Thank you, Michael. If not for you, I really wouldn't be able to live in
Avenport anymore.”

Emma had only done such a vicious thing to drive me away from Avenport. She wanted to make sure
that I was no longer in Michael's life. Unfortunately for her, the man had sided with me and had even
assumed responsibility for the entire issue.
