NovelEnglishChapter 208: Devin produced an old group photo from the orphanage, brandishing it like a winning card to prove his connection to Allison.
Then, he showed them footage from a hidden camera in the café but he had doctored it, editing out key moments.
What remained was a damning clip just him placing his hand on Allisons, making it appear as though they were an intimate couple caught in a stolen moment.
The result was explosive.
Reporters swarmed like vultures, eager to sink their teeth into the scandal brewing around Charisma Companys high-ranking executive.
No way! Is that really Ms.
Clarke? Shes always so cold, so untouchable, one journalist muttered in disbelief.
Turns out, shes completely different behind closed doors.
Besides, if there was nothing going on between them, why were they holding hands? Ms.
Clarke, is it true that you abandoned him? Did you really threaten him? As cameras flashed relentlessly in her face, Allison frowned, knowing full well that this time, Devin had cprepared.
Upon seeing the footage, her eyes sparked with fury, but before she could respond, Kellan suddenly appeared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe camera flashes turned blinding as Kellan wheeled himself forward, commanding the room without uttering a single word.
With Kellans arrival, Devins theatrics ramped up.
He called out tically, Mr.
Lloyd, youre a man of power and wealth.
You could have any woman in the world.
Why steal mine? Kellans icy stare silenced the room.
His voice cut through the chaos like a blade.
Spreading fake news so brazenly... How many years are you hoping to spend behind bars, hmm? Before Devin could respond, a soft, feeble voice piped up.
Mr.
Lloyd, are you really going to abuse your power? Melany spoke up, clinging tightly to Coltons arm, her face painted with mock sympathy.
Allison, what you did to this poor man is awful.
Sure, he may not be handsor talented, but hes your childhood sweetheart.
You cant just treat him like dirt.
Coltons face darkened.
He had always doubted Devins claims of being romantically involved with Allison, but now, with the photos and video playing on repeat in his mind, a sharp sense of betrayal gnawed at him.
Even though they were divorced, he still considered Allison his property.
The sight of her mingling with so many men set his blood boiling.
Melany, theres no getting through to her.
Allisons nothing but a gold digger.
The shameless woman manipulatedinto marrying her, and now, shes lining up her next jackpot.
Its disgusting! Colton said loudly, his venomous words adding fuel to the fire.
In no time, reporters surged forward but they thrust their microphones at Kellan, not Allison.
After all, he was far more famous than she was.
Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLloyd, are you in an office romance with Allison Clarke? Sir, you always seem to defend her is there something going on between you two? And are you aware shes abandoned her childhood sweetheart? The questions cfast and furious, and Melanys lips curled into a self-satisfied smile.
With the media coverage pouring in, she was eager to see how Kellan would handle this.
A man of his stature wouldnt dare be linked to such a scandal surely, the only logical move would be for him to publicly distance himself from Allison.
Maybe he would even go so far as to kick her out of the company to m protect his image. But Kellan didnt flinch.
Instead, a slow, sardonic smile crept onto his face.
His cold gaze swept over the reporters, and without saying a word, they fell silent, taking a hesitant step back. Its true, he said firmly, leaving everyone stunned into silence.
Im pursuing Ms.
Clarke.
Then, as if the world around him no longer existed, he turned to Allison.
His voice dropped to a low, almost tender tone.
But she hasnt acceptedyet, because shes always been very!!!! el particular.
