Chapter 220

Chapter 220 He's Lost His Mind

On the day of the press conference, Leonard and I played our roles like puppets, following the script exactly as planned.

Every reporter's question had been pre-approved, and we answered them flawlessly.

I even had my ultrasound scan on hand to prove the baby's existence.

Most reporters were hired by the Harmon family and had long standing relationships with them, so there were no surprises.

They asked soft, straightforward questions, some even touching on the incident in Melgrove.

Leonard's memory may have been muddled, but his retention was still sharp. After reviewing the notes a few times, he memorized everything perfectly.
