Conrad remained composed.
"These are all baseless rumors. If there are no other questions, today's press conference will conclude—"

Reporters surged forward like a tidal wave, instantly surrounding me in a tight circle.

The sound of camera shutters was incessant.
Conrad's smile suddenly froze. He stood up and walked towards me against the crowd.
