Chapter 172: Promise Me!
"About your identity. Did you read the final draft of your interview? If you agree, your profile as an heir will be added to the Collins Group website. And your interview will be published in a business magazine." Arthur asked again.
Evan was in a difficult position. He had made a promise to his Grandfather to reveal his identity as Evan Collins once he finished college, in exchange for being allowed to study in East City. Even though he technically hasn’t graduated from B University yet, he has already passed the final exam. Evan knew he couldn’t delay any longer and had to agree to his grandpa’s wishes.
He had already seen the article that would publicly reveal his identity a few days ago, and he felt that everything had been done according to his request. They would only use his picture from when he was about to enter college and not include any personal information, like where he went to school or college. The article would only focus on his company, Starlight Investment, which he had built himself.
"Brat! You can’t turn it down...." Seeing his grandson silent as if thinking about something, Arthur Collins worried. "Grandpa has followed many of your wishes and had to disagree with your father. This time you must follow my wish!" Arthur’s voice sounded firm as his eyes sharply looked into his grandson’s eyes like a copy-paste of him.
Evan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his grandfather, taking a deep breath before giving his answer. "You can release it, but hold off on the press conference until the day after tomorrow. I don’t want this news to overshadow tomorrow’s events, especially since I’m marrying Rose. I want to be able to enjoy my big day with her without any distractions," he said firmly.
He couldn’t bear the thought of the media frenzy and hype that would surely follow the news of his family identity being released to the public. After their wedding, he and Rose had planned to take a week-long honeymoon to celebrate their marriage, and Evan hoped that by the time they returned, the buzz surrounding his family would have died down.
Grandpa Collins nodded understandingly. "I see your point, Evan. I’ll make sure the press conference is held off until the day after tomorrow."
Evan let out a sigh of relief, grateful that his grandfather respected his wishes. "Thank you, Grandpa. I really appreciate it."
