Hearing that the press conference was starting, Claire and Nellie stopped gossiping, while Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.

It was truly in a journalist's nature to be a monger for gossip, what with all the news articles they published or read each day.

And at the rate she had been spilling information, Nellie might even let slip something vital that might expose Charlie. That included his last name being Wade, and the day his parents were killed, which also happened to be the day he was sent to that orphanage.

Fortunately, Claire wasn't one who obsessed over gossip, or she would have noticed the signs with just a little prying.

In addition, Charlie's personal information had always been well protected. All the media knew was that Curtis Wade's son had gone missing, but they didn't know the boy's name, or Nellie would have started grilling him no matter how simple-minded she seemed.

Nonetheless, the press conference soon began with Kaeden taking the stage as the emcee.
