Chapter 1265: Chapter 1268: Ancestor of Lillian Graham Chapter 1265: Chapter 1268: Ancestor of Lillian Graham Inside the presentation hall of First City Hospital, it was crowded with reporters.

The cameras had long been set up, aiming at Wendy Jenkins on the stage.

The Jenkins family was also a well-known prominent family in A City. Thus, even when facing such a multitude of media alone, Wendy Jenkins was not at all nervous.

However, to elicit sympathy,
she deliberately made her face paler and worked up her emotions before stepping onto the stage, resulting in Wendy Jenkins appearing on camera with reddened eyes and a pale face, looking extremely wan and haggard.

This act immediately garnered the sympathy of most of the audience.

Wendy Jenkins stood on the stage, first bowed to the seated reporters, and then sat down, steadied the microphone, and started speaking in a soft, plaintive crying voice.

“Friends from the press, thank you for coming today. I know it was not easy for you to come here, and you might risk offending a powerful figure in Eastonia for my sake and my husband’s. I, Wendy Jenkins, have no one else to rely on, so I can only say thank you here. Thank you, I really appreciate it…”
As Wendy Jenkins spoke, tears began to swirl in her eyes.

The glistening teardrops hung in her eyes, seemingly about to fall yet not dropping; such a sight in someone in her fifties looked truly sorrowful and pitiable.

Lily was originally nestled in Aidan Lucas’s arms, watching absentmindedly.

Seeing Wendy Jenkins’s display, she urgently sat up from Aidan Lucas’s embrace.

“Wendy Jenkins is really amazing, to be of such an age and still playing the ingenue like the progenitor of Lillian Graham. No wonder my grandfather was able to fall out with my mother and uncle over her. Her tactics are way stronger than ten Bella Scotts.”

She sat up straight in Aidan Lucas’s arms, reached up and hooked her hand around his neck, “What should we do? I’m starting to regret just tampering with the medical records. Do you have any other plans? Wendy Jenkins might not be easy to deal with.”

Just by the fact that Wendy Jenkins, at her age, could stoop to such elderly and pretentious tactics, sitting on the stage and pretending to be aggrieved, made her far stronger than the noble lady sitting beside her.

Lily had initially thought that she would simply continue her plaintive cries.

But after Wendy Jenkins got on the stage, not a single tear fell.

The tears were always contained in her eyes, as if her accusations of being oppressed by authority and deeply wronged were so genuine that even her crying seemed timid.

It must be said that such a strategy, rather than constantly sniveling and seeking sympathy, which could actually make people more annoyed, was far more sophisticated.

Lily was vaguely worried.

But Aidan Lucas just chuckled softly and lifted her delicate chin.

Bowing his head, he pecked her lips lightly, “Don’t worry, most of the countermeasures are ready. Even if they have other schemes, we can counter them when they come. Sweetheart, trust your husband, I won’t let them outwit us that easily.”

If it came to manipulating people’s hearts, he, Aidan Lucas, would not be outdone by anyone.

Lily, seeing Aidan Lucas appear confident, finally felt some of her worries fade.

At that moment, Wendy Jenkins on the television was still continuing her performance.

“I know I shouldn’t contend with some people. My husband, although he is his senior, has neither power nor influence, just like a moth to a flame when compared to the mighty Speaker of the House, Financial Group Leader. But justice must always prevail. If we just keep quiet and keep the peace, then those who disregard the law and regulations will continue to bully others! That’s why–”
Speaking of which, Wendy Jenkins suddenly stood up.

Her back straight, her eyes tearful yet resolutely fixed ahead as if she had made a momentous decision.

“Friends from the press, I have finally made up my mind, today right here… I decide to personally sacrifice family loyalty for the sake of justice!”
