My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

699 Chapter 698

As soon as Ellis made the announcement, the entire room of reporters fell silent, staring at him in disbelief.

One of them couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ellis, what did you just say?"

Without wasting a second, Ellis gestured to someone, who quickly stepped onto the stage, picked up a remote, and turned on the large screen behind them.

Ellis connected his phone to the screen, projecting the breaking news he had just come across.

A live broadcast appeared, showing a reporter on the scene. The reporter's voice was charged with emotion as they exclaimed, "Professor Barry Brandt has returned to Crera! He once publicly declared he would never return and insisted that his students must never return either. But now, not only has Professor Brandt come back, he's brought with him his ten most talented students... I'm going to try to get a word with him!"

As soon as Barry Brandt stepped off the plane, several officials from the research institutes rushed forward to greet him, shaking his hand and welcoming him back.

The reporter managed to squeeze through the crowd, thrusting a microphone toward Professor Brandt. "Professor Brandt, have you had a change of heart? Why did you decide to come back?"

Taking the microphone, Barry Brandt looked directly into the camera, speaking with sincerity and a slight tremble in his voice. "Years ago, when I went abroad to study, I realized that students from Crera were often discriminated against. Some professors were reluctant to share their knowledge with us, perhaps because they knew that our country was strong and our people were strong. They feared that if we acquired the same knowledge, we would return home and use it to our country's advantage. So, they suppressed us."

His voice thickened with emotion as he continued, "The environment for students from Crera during my time was harsh. We wanted to serve our country, but the path wasn't clear. Then, one day, Mr. Sims approached me…"

He paused, a wry smile crossing his face. "Mr. Sims asked me, 'Are you willing to dedicate twenty years to your country?'

"I didn't hesitate. I told him I was ready to dedicate my entire life. He then shared his plan with me… He wanted me to publicly express dissatisfaction with Crera and declare that I would never return. Only then did the professors abroad start to take me seriously and share their knowledge with me."

Barry Brandt shook his head with a rueful smile. "We set up an elaborate ruse, fooling everyone for years. Mr. Sims sacrificed a lot to help me maintain my cover. Now, there are rumors that he's a spy because he supported me financially…
