A daring journalist took the lead, asking, "Mr. Boyd, what's your take on the buzz that's been going around these days?"
Passersby had already begun to pull out their smartphones to capture the moment.
Yvan looked at the journalist for a long while, the man silent, his dark pupils like precious obsidian. Standing next to him was his father, Noel, known in the business world for his thunderous strategies. Facing the media, neither of the two showed any signs of fear.
After a chilling silence, Yvan finally spoke.
He said, "I have nothing to say."
The crowd was stunned.
"What I mean is, regarding that matter, the truth of the past, the wrongful accusation of Matilda, all these series of events..." Yvan paused for a moment, "I have nothing to say. I have no excuses for myself."
Matilda, watching from in front of the television, was taken aback.
At that moment, her soul shattered into pieces.
Was this man, dissecting himself on television... really the Yvan she knew?
Facing the camera, his expression was unmistakably cold and ruthless, yet Matilda saw in his eyes a tragic collapse of his spirit, grand and tumultuous... like a blizzard devastating all in its path.
