Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 374: A chaos conference

Since Reya wanted to be famous so badly, then Scarlet would make sure that her face was remembered for years to come.

She felt Esong’s comforting arm resting on her shoulders and squeezing firmly.

"It will be okay, Markay and I have come up with a plan. We will find evidence of her crimes and then sue her for plagiarism, theft and character assassination." He said in a reassuring voice.

She looked up at him and a small smile blossomed on her face. He was helping her without her knowledge, going about it in the legal way which would restore Carolyn’s image and vindicate her. While she was grateful for his help, she was already working on the issue in her own way.

"Don’t worry about it, she will receive her reckoning soon." She told him.

She preferred not to look again at Reya and her adoring fans, and eager reporters. She placed her hand Justin’s chin and tickled him.

"Who is the best baby in the world?" She asked.

"I am." He said chirpily.

"Who is mommy’s only baby?" She asked.

"Me, me, me." He said eagerly.

"Who is the cutest baby vampire of them all?" She asked.

"Me, count Justin." He clapped his hands and laughed.

While the family of three left the hotel and headed to the amusement park, Dorian and Mega Su watched the press conference from their hotel suite.

She was eating fried peanuts and drinking ginger tea as she watched while Dorian sipped slowly on glass of wine. In both of their hearts was a bountiful surge of pride for the plot they had pulled off successfully.

Yes, keep on praising yourself and over inflating your skills miss Reya. Your downfall is coming, and it will be sweet, Mega Su thought.

The Titus series for which she was claiming credit and in a hurry to expose to the world had already been given to the empress as a gift. What Reya stole were copies, most of them incomplete as they were first drafts.

They had even given the empress small mecha figurines depicting what the finished Titus mechas would look alike. All these had been done by Carolyn a long time ago.

Mega wanted to see how Reya would contend with the very empress who rewarded her the inventors medal after her theft was discovered. Who better to pull her from that high horse she was on than the most powerful woman in the empire. If the empress named Reya a thief, nobody would say otherwise.

Dorian suddenly guffawed and put his hand over his eyes. He shook his head and said, "I cannot believe that a plate of those peanuts was all it took for you to get a meeting with the empress. It takes others months of booking and patience before they can be alone with her for five minutes."

Mega wiggled her eyebrows and said, "The emperor is a foodie. She has to keep a firm grip on his heart to ensure that he never thinks about bringing in a mistress. Food is one of the ways in which she has been impressing, cajoling and coaxing him lately so she stocks up on all sorts of snacks."

"And just like that, she will fight the battle for us." Declan said as a matter of fact.

"Why do the heavy lifting when someone else can do it for us? She asked proudly. "Speaking of heavy lifting have you found a buyer for our old shops or will you allow your relatives continue to occupy them for free? I asked around and we can sell the gold stone smelting work shop for at least seventeen million star coins. We also have shares in Regas gene laboratory and your uncle has redirected all the dividends to his account. We should hire a lawyer who will deal with it immediately."

He showed her a document on his terminal and explained, "I did just that yesterday. I am selling off everything that we own in the capital, we can use the proceedings to buy our children houses so that when we come to the capital we will not have to spend thousands of star coins in hotels. Seventeen million can get us at least three houses. The Regas dividend is not much because gene editing is still ongoing research. I contacted the head of the lab and he said that the reason for the lab not being very profitable is because they don’t just want to edit minor genes, they want to create serums which give humans the strength and abilities of mutated beasts."

Mega pushed his hand away, taking her eyes off the document and she pointed to the screen. "Something is going on with that thief."

At the press conference, just as the official documents of cooperation between the Marley family and Pius company were going to be signed, Reya started crying. It started with a few tears that she wiped away quickly and those around attributed them to joy. The Marley’s would be wealthier with the successful launching of this series. Reya would add to her wealth and firmly hold her position as the empire’s eight most desirable unwed woman. She would probably be receiving another medal from the empress for this achievement.

As the tears increased, a few people became uncomfortable. It was fine to be excited but why was she crying as if this was a sad occasion?

When the silent cries turned into loud earth shattering sorrowful sobs, they became puzzled.

"Take her away." Viscount Marley whispered to his wife.

When Yolanda Marley touched Reya, she pulled her hand away and said, "I am sorry everyone, I have lied to you all. The Titus series is not my work, it’s the work of someone else."

Viscount Marley’s face went from great joy to a very angry like a bull that was about to launch an attack.

"Stop her, shut her up." he shouted. "Switch off those cameras." he continued barking orders.

His wife violently pulled Reya away placing her hand roughly over Reya’s mouth. One of her sons joined her in pulling Reya out of the lobby before she could say anything else which was damaging or incriminating of herself or any other member of the family.

The entire press conference was now chaotic with reporters attempting to run after the escaping Marley family members. They were shouting a variety of questions.

"Did you buy the designs from another designer? Did you steal them? Are you sharing the profits with a third party?"

"Who is the owner of the Titus series? Viscount, who is the real owner of the Titus mechas?"

"Does this include all of the Titus mechas right from the first one?"

"Why did you lie, Reya look over here and tell us why you lied."

"Why are you confessing your crime today and live on air? Were you suddenly struck by guilt?"

The questions were not ceasing and the reporters refused to give up their questioning. This news was even juicier than the launch of new mechas, it would be the top news of the night and month whether it was true or false. Viscount Marley had come with bodyguards who were holding the reporters back.

Hotel staff and security had to intervene, for the protection of the guests, the reporters had to be thrown out.

Mega and Dorian while excited were also perplexed. In their minds, they had one question, what had just happened?
