"Now that we know it was Clark behind it, could you please hold a press conference to clear my mother's name?"

For a few seconds, Thalassa doubted she'd actually heard him say those words, but her disbelief quickly morphed into bitterness.

"You want me to hold a press conference and clear your mother's name?" she repeated, her tone laced with incredulity, waiting to see if he'd dare confirm it.

When he nodded, her jaw clenched tightly. "What makes you think I would ever do something like that?"

His brows furrowed as if he couldn't believe she was asking that question.

"Because that's the truth," he replied earnestly. "Thalassa since the awards show, my mother has been facing endless hate online and in public. She's lost millions of clients, and nearly all her investors have pulled out. Her business is on the verge of bankruptcy. My mother worked so hard to build her empire, and losing it will destroy her. If you tell everyone the truth that she wasn't behind the sabotage, it might save her company."

As the bitterness mixed with her disbelief, Thalassa didn't know whether to laugh or slap him.

She took a step closer, her voice hardening. "How touching Kris. But where was this wonderful sense of justice when your mother had me arrested for stealing and I was humiliated on TV for the whole world to see? Where were you when I couldn't even find a hotel that would take me in because no one wanted to be associated with a criminal like me. And now you think she deserves to have her name cleared?"

Kris's chest tightened with guilt as she recounted the pain she'd been put through, but he still felt she wasn't being entirely fair.

"Thalassa, my mother made a mistake having you arrested, but we all believed the evidence that was brought to us anonymously, especially when I had it verified and it all came pointing to you. This situation is different. We have clear evidence that it was Clark and not my mum. It's only fair that you let the truth be known. It's the right thing to do."

Thalassa tilted her head slightly. "Why doesn't she hold that press conference herself and declare her innocence?"

Kris sighed. "You know no one will believe her."
