“Is it true that Mr. Kade Ulysses Escarrer is the father of your child?”
I felt Ellie stiffen. She didn't see that coming, same with me. I don't know where did they get that information. We were always careful. We made sure that all people involved in Ellie’s pregnancy until she gave birth is a secret.
She was always in the VIP section, and all the premises in the hospital were exclusively for her during her delivery and even during checkups.
We know that we can’t keep it a secret forever. But we want to announce it ourselves. We even plan to do a party to tell the twins.
I held Ellie’s hand and squeezed it to calm her.
“I think you were all brief that all questions would only be about the LHI Resorts. Were you not informed?” I answered the press in a cold voice.
“Is it true that the reason why Ms. Cabello got the project is that she seduced you and get herself pregnant?” The press asked instead.
“What did you say?” Ellie said.
From the tone of her voice, I’m sure that she was angry. Knowing her, she can never accept that kind of insult.
“What is your name and from what company you came from?” I asked in a cold voice.
I will not let this pass. I will never allow anyone to insult Ellie.
I saw him flinched. I think he knew what I meant. He became silent, and he just lowered her head.
We had no choice but to end the event. Thanks to that malicious person. I will make him pay for what he did.
“What the heck?! Where did he get that idea?! How dare him to insult me?!” Ellie said when we reached the twins’ hotel room.
“Jace, get the name of the press who asks about the twins and his malicious claims. I'm sure that someone is behind this incident. You need to find it out.” I said to Jace.
It seems well-planned. If that press already knew about the twins, he will release it as soon as he got the scoop. But he waited until this event.
The culprit is not after the twins but Ellie. I am very sure of it. And whoever that person is, I will surely make him pay.
When we reached home, I hugged Ellie. I knew she was very affected by this incident. Her name was the one who will be greatly affected by this incident.
“I will find out who the culprit is, and I will make him pay. I will clear your name.” I told her, hoping that somehow it will comfort her.
“Are you sure that you chose me because of my skills and not because we had a one-night stand?” She asks in a whisper, and then she removed herself from my hug.
My forehead creased. Is she questioning her talent? I can't believe this!
“Of course! And remember I asked your team to do a draft before we announced that you got the project?”
She nodded.
