She finished speaking, and handed over a USB drive to him through the car window.
Then she rolled up the window and left, leaving the reporter standing there, staring at the USB drive in his hand for a moment, before finally clutching it tightly. Although he didn't know what exactly was in it, he decided to abide by Chloe's advice. It was clear that Ms. Summers had dealt him a good hand, and he absolutely couldn't misplay it.
But first, he needed to know what was on the drive. For now, his first priority was to head back to the office. As the reporter hastily got into his car and drove away, the other reporters were a mix of envy, jealousy, and endless curiosity.
"What exactly did Ms. Summers give him?"
"It sounds like it's big news."
"No idea, we can only wait until the magazine publishes the news."d2
"We don't know when that will be, Ms. Summers just told him to wait. It seems so mysterious. I wonder what she really knows?"

At Harper's Mansion, the atmosphere was almost freezing. Addie was trembling with fear, wishing she could tear Vanya apart for her reckless words in front of the reporters. She had publicly claimed that she was mistreated and bullied at the Harper's Mansion!
How had she mistreated them?! A bunch of ungrateful brats!
Even though she was fuming, her predominant feeling was fear. Addie said, "Sir, don't listen to their nonsense. I've always been stricter with them than Marina. They're young and naïve. They're simply trying to retaliate against me!"
Presley's hand, clutching his cane, was pale knuckled and shaking violently. His ashen face further amplified his rage.
"This woman... This woman..." Presley murmured in rage.
"Yes, sir, Ms. Summers has really overstepped her bounds. If she hadn't come, all of our servants would still be obedient." Addie hurriedly chimed in, fearing that the old man would hold her accountable.
"Father, don't be angry, we can make Ms. Summers pay for her actions." Robin said.
The old man looked at Robin with a frown, "You're talking about her entering Harper's Mansion? That won't work, Damon dotes on her and she's lawless. As long as Damon is a Harper, her entering is not a serious issue."
He didn't mention the fact that the two had already obtained a marriage license. It was unclear whether he didn't want to bring it up, or if he had other considerations. Apart from Damon's parents and him, only Marina and a few servants knew about Damon and Chloe's marriage.
As for her coming to Harper's Mansion, she was technically a member of the family. If he insisted on making an issue out of it, he wouldn't gain anything.
Wasn't that the reason why the woman was so brazen? It was infuriating!
After taking a few deep breaths, he spoke again, "Are you talking about her taking away all the servants?"
Robin shook his head with a smile, "Not just the servants, there's something more important."
The old man furrowed his brows, "You take care of everything. She's been smug for far too long!"
