This has been one of the many press conferences Monica Baldwin has held over the years. As usual, the venue is filled with the flickering sounds of camera shutters and countless dark camera lenses.
These people want explosive news, even if it is not true.
What's more, they always come bearing questioning gazes, much like pre-programmed harsh machines.
Even though Monica did not have much connection to Amelia Bailey's death, she still paid respect by dressing in a black evening gown and not applying heavy makeup.
Walking confidently in black high heels, she was escorted to the podium under the protection of security. This time, Victor Chadwick sat among the audience, a simple spectator.
However, the sight of Victor gave the reporters a sense of unease.
Monica turned around, looking at everyone beneath the podium, into those eager eyes, and greeted them softly.
"Good morning."
