In the airport lounge.
Grace was forced to go into the lounge.
Her body and her hair were covered in eggs. It dried down a little now. The egg on her face had solidified on her skin.
She felt very upset. This was the first time that she had been attacked so indiscriminately. It was truly a new experience.
She was in shock, and she had to admit that she had been really frightened.
In the face of such a direct attack, she had no ability to defend herself at all.
She even dragged Zachary, Tyler, and Hermione into this.
As she looked at them, she felt both apologetic and embarrassed. "Hermione, Zachary, Tyler, I'm so sorry to get you guys into trouble."
"Don't say that." Hermione didn't take what had happened to heart at all as she said, "Grace, this was an accident. There were so many of them who came over and started egging us. Even the bodyguards couldn't stop them in time. It's not your fault."
"It started because of me." Grace shook her head, feeling very dejected. "I really don't know who would do this to me."
Zachary started. "What happened today was really dangerous. Fortunately, we were there. If you had been alone, you would have been hurt even more badly. From this, it shows that we need to handle things better. We need to find out who was behind this."
"I know." Grace nodded. "But I really don't know who it could be."
"Call the police," Zachary said. "Later, we will all provide proper statements and let the police handle it."
Hermione remarked. "We should also investigate in private and follow up on the matter."
Tyler then added, "And you shouldn't appear in public for the time being. You have to protect yourself."
"I agree with you, Mr. Henley." Hermione nodded in agreement. "You shouldn’t appear in public until we know what's going on. Once we get to the root of the problem, you can then come out again."
After thinking for a while, Grace did not answer and pressed her lips tightly together.
It was so unfair for her. She wasn't some public figure, and yet she couldn't go out in public. She was just a small reporter, but now she had become a public figure over this.
For the first time, she felt so wronged.
It was so unreasonable..
She could only nod.
She took out a tissue and tried to wipe herself.
Hermione immediately stopped her. "Grace, don't clean it off yet."
Stunned, she looked up at Hermione.
"The police haven't arrived yet," Hermione explained. "They have to see what happened to you to charge your attackers."
As they were talking, someone came into the lounge.
It was the police.
"Hello, Officer Charm sent us here. He's busy, so he had asked us to handle this."
"Officers, you're just in time." Hermione pulled Grace over to show them. "We were attacked for no reason. Please investigate this matter." "I'll have to trouble you all to give your statements of the incident." "Sure, no problem," Hermione replied. "We will cooperate with the investigation. Grace, tell them what happened."
"Okay." Grace nodded. She looked at the police and said, "I will cooperate with the investigation."
"Miss Smith, we roughly know about what had happened from Officer Charm. Taking your statement is just routine. I hope you can understand," the police officer in charge told Grace.
"Yes, I understand." Grace nodded.
"Let's start then."
Ten minutes later, Grace briefly explained how she met Heinz, the birth of her children, and so on. She did not conceal anything at all.
