The trending story on a social media platforms
"Playboy finally gets engaged"
Journalists were in front of the mansion waiting for an opportunity to capture him.
"Why did u do it?" Al asked Jules.
"I had no other option." She replied.
"You could have come up with another story."
"Yeah, I could have if you were not busy sleeping. Why are you this ungrateful??"
"You except me to me grateful with what you pulled.?"
"Oh yeah. A little thank you won't hurt."
"At least now you can't engage Melissa," She added.
"And who told you I want to be engaged to you." He said coldly.
"Guys, this argument will not solve the issue." Austin chipped in.
"I think we should leave it to the one who caused it to solve it." Al suggested coldly.
"And who's the one who caused it." Louis asked out of the blue.
"You darling daughter. Who else?" Al chuckled.
"Will we be in this situation if you had just stayed home?" He asked.
"Whatever you were trying to prove by going there has been done."
"So now you are saying this is my fault."
"Who's do you want it to be. Me or the one who tried to save your ass." Louis questioned.
"You know what.... I won't be a big disappointment if for once you stop seeing my faults and appreciate me." Al retorted.
"Now I will leave you perfect ones to solve the problem." He said rudely and made his way to his room.
By noon the story has escalated beyond measure. Bloggers were coming out with theories as to why Alaric has not clarified the situation yet.
"Uncle, the problem seems to be escalating yet we have no solution to it. We need a solution before tomorrow." Austin said with concern.
"How about I go out and admit it's a lie." Jules suggested.
"Well I've already thought of that, and as good as it sounds it will come with another complication." Austin said
"Which is?" Louis asked.
"Well, we were having an issue to solve before this one came out. So it we done find a way to solve both of them at the same time, the other will pop up before we know."
"And also it will have an effect on your image. Say, you wanted to have Al badly or something. And we don't want that." Austin did his best to explain it into details.
"The more the time we waste to solve the problem we are definitely going to lose investors." He added it to the list of issues.
They then sat down in silence as they thought deeper for solution.
***Late Noon***
"You guys should move down here." Butler Sam called out to them from the library.
"What is it old man?" Mr.Grey asked him.
"Just came and see it for yourself.!" He exclaimed.
"I think we should go and see it." Austin said as he stood up and they all followed suit to the living room.
"What's it?" Louis asked him when they got there.
"Someone is about to hold a press conference. It's starting in the next minute." Austin replied as he looked thoughtful.
"Who could it be?" Mr.Grey asked.
"No idea but we will find out in a few seconds." Austin replied as he took a seat.
They all sat down patiently waiting.
Just then there started the broadcasting.
The cameras revealed all the channels present. The room was full to the brim and quite to hear the speaker.
"Hmm...hmm" The speaker cleared the throat.
"What!" Everyone exclaimed when he saw the one holding the press conference.
"When did he get out?" Louis asked Butler Sam.
