CHAPTER 585: CHAPTER 585: THE "GRAND GIFT

"I’m going." Fawn Rhodes was shocked: "She actually ran back, and even held a press conference to slander you? How can she be so outrageous?"

"Ivana, what are you planning to do?"

Fawn Rhodes was against Ivana Monroe going to meet Leon’s mother at this time. That old lady was too vicious. Now that Ivana was pregnant, both Fawn and Stacy Floyd feared it would affect Ivana and the baby.

"I’m going to give her a big gift."

"A big gift?"

Fawn was very curious about what kind of "big gift" Ivana had prepared.

About twenty minutes later.

Ivana Monroe arrived at the location where Leon’s mother was holding the press conference.

"Ivana."

Stacy Floyd waved at Ivana, wearing a duckbill cap, large black sunglasses, and a mask.

Two boys walking by stopped, seemingly recognizing Stacy Floyd’s voice, turned and walked up to her, blushing and asked, "Excuse me, are you the big star Stacy Floyd?"

Stacy signaled "shh" to the two boys, whispering, "My friend encountered an urgent matter, I need to go with her, so... please don’t expose me!"

The two boys were thrilled, nodding vigorously, "We won’t, we won’t, Stacy Floyd... nice to meet you, we’re all your fans."

"I’m happy too, goodbye."

Stacy waved to the two boys and walked straight towards Ivana.

The two boys saw Ivana and immediately said "Wow~"

"It’s Ivana Monroe, Ivana, she’s the president of GK, her designed clothes are super cool, my girlfriend loves her designs."

"So she’s Ivana Monroe, even the goddess I’m chasing loves her brand’s clothes, no wonder she can design such popular clothes, she’s so beautiful, she’s a goddess herself!"

The two boys wanted to ask Ivana for an autograph, one to give to his girlfriend, and the other to his goddess. Seeing that Stacy’s friend was Ivana, they didn’t approach immediately.

Because Stacy said there’s an urgent matter with her friend.

"They went in, should we go take a look?"

"This is Starlight Entertainment, let’s go in and have a look! If they finish the urgent matter, we can ask Ivana for an autograph, first Ivana, then Stacy."

The girlfriend must be prioritized, oneself second.

"That’s a good idea, let’s go."

The two agreed and followed Ivana inside.

"Hi, beautiful, my name is Fawn Rhodes."

Fawn’s "old habit" kicked in, seeing a pretty girl with good temperament, she would try to impress.

Even though Stacy Floyd was wearing sunglasses and a mask, from her attire and the accessories on her wrists, neck, and ears, it was clear she was a big beauty, because the more beautiful a person is, the more exquisite and elaborate these accessories are.

"You’re Fawn Rhodes?"

"Beautiful, you know me?"

Fawn raised her eyebrows, curious about how Stacy knew her.

"Yes, Ivana mentioned you several times on the phone, thank you for taking care of her abroad."

"Haha~ so that’s it, you’re welcome! Ivana and I are good friends. May I know the beautiful lady’s name?"

"Stacy Floyd."

"Wow~ you’re the big star Stacy Floyd, the one famous all over the country? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

"Don’t flatter me like that, since you’re Ivana’s friend, you’re also my friend. If you encounter anything in Ravenswood, feel free to come to me. As long as I can help, I won’t refuse."

Stacy gave Fawn her phone number.

Fawn was overjoyed, almost floating. Ivana was amazing, knowing such a big star like Stacy Floyd, and it seemed their relationship was exceptionally close.

Otherwise, Stacy wouldn’t have voluntarily given out her phone number.

The three took the elevator up. The press conference Leon’s mother was holding was on the 11th floor. Stacy had already sent someone to find out. Being a star had its perks; she knew many people in the entertainment industry, and a phone call could get her the answers she needed.

"Ivana, have you figured out how to deal with Leon’s mother?"

Stacy knew Ivana well, seeing how calm Ivana was, she had probably already figured out a strategy.

"Yes, you’ll see soon."

Ivana smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Reaching the 11th floor, a left turn led to the press conference venue.

A reporter heard footsteps, turned his head, and saw the three walking in, and his eyes widened.

"Ivana... Ivana Monroe."

The moment the reporter shouted "Ivana Monroe," all the reporters aimed their cameras at her, as if all the spotlights were shining on her face.

"Ivana Monroe, did you come after seeing the news? I want to ask, did you really use such vicious means against your own mother-in-law?"

"Ivana Monroe, your mother-in-law said you were pregnant, Leon Keane cares a lot about this child, which is why you threatened him, right? Don’t you feel unworthy as a mother for even using your own child?"

"Ivana Monroe, if you really caused your mother-in-law’s death, don’t you think you’d face divine retribution?"

The reporters’ questions were like rapid-fire shots, directed at Ivana one after another, all biased towards Leon’s mother, deliberately attacking her to grab attention and traffic.

"You all haven’t figured out right from wrong, how can you irresponsibly attack Ivana? You don’t deserve to be reporters."

Fawn was furious, pointing at the reporters and cursing.

The reporters didn’t give Fawn any camera time, planning to edit out her voice later. People who didn’t matter had no right to be on camera.

Stacy was also angry, but unlike Fawn, she didn’t lash out at the reporters. She pulled Fawn back, telling her not to be impulsive, because these reporters were like dogs, throw them a bone, and they’d pounce.

The topic Leon’s mother threw out was a big juicy bone, they wouldn’t stop until they maximized the conflict.

They didn’t care what the truth was, or if Ivana was innocent; as long as the topic went viral and attracted widespread attention and discussion, they succeeded.

Stacy took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful eyes, then removed her mask as well.

"Sta... Stacy Floyd."

Some reporters exclaimed in surprise, and cameras turned to Stacy.

Stacy Floyd was a big star, so it became almost instinctive for reporters to point their cameras at her.

Stacy stood beside Ivana, showing a beautiful and generous smile, "Ivana Monroe is my childhood friend, we were also classmates, I know her character well, and she’s definitely not as Leon’s mother claims."

"Then what’s the truth?"

"Stacy Floyd, you’re a big star, standing up for Ivana now, are you trying to use your influence to clear your friend’s name?"

"Yeah! You standing up now seems a bit inappropriate."

Stacy’s smile became stiff, some reporters were truly unethical, was Leon’s mother’s blame going to be pinned on Ivana for sure?

When Leon’s mother saw Ivana, her eyes were full of hatred, she clenched her fingers tightly, a sinister cold smile on her lips; these reporters were already bribed by Jackie yesterday, and today Ivana dared to come, it was like she was seeking her own downfall.
