That evening a press conference was suddenly announced.
Journalists filled the media hall outside Knight Corporation.
Emily stood backstage nervously.
"Why are we doing this?"
Alexander adjusted his tie.
"Because rumors spread faster than truth."
The reporters began shouting questions.
"Mr. Knight, is your assistant involved in the leak?"
"Is this an internal scandal?"
Alexander stepped to the microphone.
The room went silent.
His voice was calm and firm.
"The accusations against Miss Carter are false."
Cameras flashed everywhere.
Alexander continued.
"She is a hardworking employee and a valuable member of Knight Corporation."
Emily watched in shock.
Alexander rarely praised anyone publicly.
But he continued speaking.
"Anyone spreading false information will face legal action."
The reporters immediately began asking new questions.
But the message was clear.
Alexander Knight had just defended Emily in front of the entire city.
