Everyone turned their heads to where the buzz originated to see Damon, clad in a black, high-end suit, standing by the car door. He was skillfully buttoning up his suit. Then he took the coat Nate handed over, walked to the other side of the car, carefully helped a similarly tall woman out, and immediately draped the coat over her.
Although they couldn't see the woman's face at the moment, just by looking at her figure, they could guess who she was, especially when this woman was taken good care of by Damon.
The smug grin on Wendy's face froze solid. She stared hard at the two people not far away, veins popping on her forehead.
“It's Mr. Harper and Ms. Summers!”
The crowd got excited, and, paying no mind to Wendy, they all turned to surround the pair. Nate's bodyguards, who he had arranged beforehand, immediately started protecting the two.
Chloe was wearing a warm pink down jacket. Damon lifted the hood of her jacket over her head. He was protecting her with everything he had, not giving the cold any chance to touch her.d2
After the court case ended yesterday, Chloe had kept it short during the interview, only giving them the result and not saying anything extra. After that, she had made no comment on the worsening online public opinion about her. So tonight, the reporters had a lot of questions they wanted to ask her.
“Ms. Summers, is it true that the rumor online about you forcing Old Mr. Summers to testify in court?”
“If not, then what was your purpose for going to Sacred Heart Church?”
“Even though Old Mr. Summers was indeed in the wrong back then, wasn't it too cruel of you to force him to disclose his past?”
“He's kept it a secret for so many years, and now his reputation is ruined. Don't you feel even a bit guilty?”
“You won this court case, and pushed the two old people to this state. Are you really happy? Don't you feel guilty at all? It was a problem that could have been resolved with money. Why did you have to complicate things?”
The reporters' words were sharp and grating, because these were all questions that netizens were concerned about.
Chloe walked to the hotel entrance with a cold expression and then slowly turned around. Looking indifferently at the swarm of reporters in front of her, she slowly said, “Why can't I be happy about winning a court case? Why do you all think that me going to Sacred Heart Church must mean I forced him to testify? Do you think I kidnapped him and made him go to the witness stand? Why should I feel guilty? He did all those things himself, and I didn't force him to. He willingly took responsibility, so why should I be held accountable? This is a problem that could be solved with money. Why should I let it escalate to this point? Was it me who started this court case? Why should I give money to Carolina?
“Or, how about I tell everyone later that you guys became reporters because you slept with your bosses, your diplomas were stolen, I take away your properties and cars, introduce your spouses to others, then abandon you in a foreign country. Then, when I am down on my luck and out of money, will you give me fifty billion?”
