Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2133

A reporter asked, "Mrs. Nicholls, are you saying that the entire Nicholls family knew you were recovering abroad for five years?"

"No, not everyone. We kept the matter private to avoid unnecessary trouble, and only told a few people."

"Mrs. Nicholls, who exactly was aware of this situation at the time?"

Mavis was reluctant to answer.

After all, this was a press conference, not an interrogation. So, why should she be forced to answer every detail?

Instead, she shifted the conversation, establishing her position. "I'd prefer it if you addressed me as Ms. Olsen rather than Mrs. Nicholls."

The reporters exchanged puzzled glances.

Mavis picked up one of the microphones and spoke firmly, "There's something I need to share with all of you. During the past five years, my relationship with Mr. Nicholls has worsened beyond repair. Our marriage has broken down, and that's why I'm back—to discuss divorce and custody of our son. I hope you'll all stay tuned to follow the progress of our separation."

All the reporters were stunned.

She had been gone for five years, and her big return was for a divorce?

Fueled by curiosity, they began firing off more questions.

"Mrs. Nicholls, what caused the breakdown in your marriage? Rumor has it Mr. Nicholls has been seen with Ms. Tiffany Sullivan. Was his affair the reason you're pushing for a divorce?"

Mavis shook her head. "No, our divorce isn't because of any affair. It's simply due to irreconcilable differences. What Mr. Nicholls does in the future and who he chooses to be with is none of my concern."

She was not about to air their dirty laundry in front of the media, nor did she plan to publicly accuse Nathaniel of anything.

She knew better than to burn all her bridges, as leaving some things unsaid would give her leverage in the negotiations with him.

One reporter asked, "When you say 'irreconcilable differences', what exactly do you mean? Mr. Nicholls is handsome and wealthy. Is there another side to him that the public isn't aware of, something that's driven you to divorce?"

Mavis secretly rolled her eyes.

Nathaniel sat at his desk, his expression dark and dangerous.

"Even the gentlest person has their limit, and this is her way to fight back. She's come a long way in five years—now she knows how to use the media to her advantage."

Tommy stood nearby, looking anxious.

"Originally, Mrs. Nicholls revealing her death was faked wouldn't have impacted the Nicholls Group too much. But now that she's publicly announced the divorce, things have gotten messy. The matter is now on top of all trending topics."

Tommy handed Nathaniel an iPad, showing him the trending news.

Even though Mavis had not revealed the exact reason for their divorce, online speculation was already endless.

Rumors were swirling about everything from cheating to domestic violence, with all sorts of ridiculous theories.

Tommy continued, "The stock market is still falling, and Mrs. Nicholls's bold announcement about the divorce is having a major impact on the company. The PR team is working on damage control, but when people noticed we were paying to remove the trending topics, they accused you of hiding something. Everyone's convinced you're the one at fault for the divorce. Would you like to make a public statement to clear things up?"
