Chapter 152 Someone Has Been Pretending to Be My Mentee

Jeanette blinked slowly, wondering if she'd misheard him. What did Marcus just say? Owen was here? Wasn't he supposed to be recovering abroad? That explained Marcus' absence a few days ago. Had he left just to pick Owen up? Honestly, that sounded very likely. The thought made Jeanette tense up. She had secretly flown out once to check on Owen, but she never formally met him. And back then, he certainly hadn't treated her kindly. The guilt of facing him again settled heavily in her chest. Kelly reacted in the exact opposite way. Every word she meant to say collapsed inside her, and raw panic flashed across her face. The reporters, on the other hand, were practically ecstatic. No one expected such juicy drama to explode in the middle of a dull press conference. They pointed every camera at Kelly, desperate not to miss a single twitch on her face. Kelly looked moments away from breaking down. Her strength seemed to vanish all at once, leaving her slumped in her chair in defeat.
