All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 369

Willow stared at her phone screen and silently praised the female reporter for her clever questioning.

She knew for a fact that Skyler did not have a scar running along her abdomen, which made her heroic

tale of selling a kidney for Zayn a complete joke.

That being said, Willow also knew Skyler was cunning and would not falter so easily.

In the broadcast, Skyler appeared stunned for a moment as something like fear flickered in her eyes.

However, Skyler knew there was no backtracking. She had gotten this far with her lie, and so she would

continue it.

She replied to the reporter congenially, “That’s a brilliant idea. With a doctor’s confirmation that this scar is real, I can finally clear my name.”

Skyler was the heiress of the Dawson family and Zayn’s fiancée.

Not wanting to cross Skyler, the female reporter decided to back off with the questions and said, “I was

only kidding, Ms. Dawson. The scar looks too real for it to be stage makeup.

“I am curious, though, as to how you got that scar in the first place. Female celebrities such as yourself are usually particular about their appearances.

“What more do you want from Skyler? Isn’t it bad enough that she tried to take her own life last night by swallowing sleeping pills?

“If you have any more questions, let me answer them for you! If it’s the story behind this scar you want,

then so be it.

“Skyler only has one kidney at the moment! There’s your story!”

Shock registered on the reporters‘ faces. “What? She only has

one? Was she terribly ill before?”

“Yeah, how would a young lady like her lose a kidney? Besides, she looks healthy to me!”

Skyler was flustered as she tugged on Evangeline’s arm, hoping to stop the latter from spilling any more details. “Evangeline, stop! I don’t want them to know ab

this.”

Evangeline shrugged off Skyler’s vise–like grip. “I know you don’t want to use Mr. Carter as a tool for

publicity stunt, Skyler, but I need to tell everyone the truth.

“I can’t stand hearing everyone blame you for something you didn’t do!”

Evangeline then turned to address the reporters, “Four years ago, Skyler sold one of her kidneys to save

Mr. Carter’s life.

“At the time, Mr. Carter returned to the country penniless to start his business. He got into a terrible car crash and required immediate surgery, without w

Willow snorted at the shock and other unreadable emotions flickering past the reporters‘ faces.

As expected of the manager of the queen of the silver screen, Evangeline had such talent for acting that it was a shame she was not a celebrity.

Growing bored with Skyler’s strategic performance and Evangeline’s complimentary act, Willow exited the broadcast and returned to scrolling through the news.

She had expected Skyler to find a way to get through the reporters‘ questions, so she wasn’t the least bit disappointed in how the press conference had turned out. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The live broadcast of Skyler’s press conference began to gain traction on the internet.

Having seen the broadcast, the fans who had been disappointed in Skyler after the intense backlash yesterday were starting to feel sorry for her.

Their loyalty to Skyler was fortified by their sympathy for her.

“See, I knew Skyler was an angel! How could someone as wonderful as her betray Mr. Carter?”

“Skyler’s dedication to Mr. Carter is so moving! Gosh, I’m crying over their love story. She sacrificed her health to help the man she loves get back on his feet. This love will stand the test of time!”
