Jas cursed under his breath. The reporters had blocked the alley so tightly that it was impossible to drive the car out now.
He was really hoisted by his own petard this ti.
Fortunately, Evelyn didn’t kick him while he was down. She imdiately took out her phone to search for tonight’s entertainnt news.
"Turns out Cindy Owens attempted suicide at ho tonight, discovered by her agent, and has already been taken to the hospital."
Evelyn frowned. The news article for tonight only had two pictures, one of Cindy Owens lying in the ambulance, and one of her on a hospital bed.
In both photos, Cindy Owens had impeccable makeup, and her hair was styled.
How could soone like that possibly commit suicide?
Jas glanced through it and noticed sothing amiss. "Leave this to . I’ll have Quentin co over. He’ll take you ho first."
"What about you?" Evelyn pointed at the crazed reporters outside. "If you go down there, they’ll eat you alive, won’t they?"
"Let them try."
Jas’s tone was calm, but the murderous intent was unmistakable.
It was the first ti Evelyn was shaken by his hostility, leaving her montarily speechless.
With the reporters outside like hungry wolves, even soone as strong as Jas couldn’t face them alone.
Evelyn’s heart softened for a mont. "I’ll go down with you."
Jas looked at her and nodded. "Stay close to ."
"Okay."
Jas got out of the car first and navigated through the crowd blocking his path to open the car door for Evelyn on the other side.
The reporters’ microphones were instantly pushed towards them. "Director Grant, Ms. Clayton, are you aware of Cindy Owens’ suicide due to your love triangle? What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Jas’s face darkened, exuding an intimidating presence. "Did Cindy Owens personally say she committed suicide because of a love triangle? Where’s the interview clip?"
"Uh... it’s just our speculation. Earlier, the rumors about the three of you were all over the place, and Cindy Owens attempted suicide now. Such speculation seems quite plausible, don’t you think, Director Grant?"
A daring reporter edged closer to Jas, almost shoving the microphone into his face.
At this point, who cared about the consequences?
If he could get firsthand information on the scandal involving Jas, Evelyn, and Cindy Owens, his position at the newspaper would be secure.
Seeing Jas protecting Evelyn, the fearless reporter pushed the microphone forward again. "Ms. Clayton, do you have any thoughts? Do you feel guilty about Cindy Owens?"
Evelyn found it laughable and was about to speak when suddenly a bottle flew through the air.
Just as it was about to hit Evelyn’s head, Jas imdiately raised his hand to deflect it.
"Who?!"
"Director Grant, it’s this person." Quentin, who had rushed over, pulled a woman out from the crowd. She wore a baseball cap and sunglasses, making her hard to spot amongst the reporters.
Quentin removed her cap. "Who sent you to attack Director Grant?!"
"I’m not attacking Jas Grant, I’m attacking Evelyn Clayton!"
The woman scread hysterically, looking at Evelyn like she was her enemy.
"Sister Cindy is in the hospital, and you’re still flaunting yourself, aren’t you? Are you only satisfied if you drive Sister Cindy to her death?! You damned woman, if Sister Cindy really dies, don’t expect to live either!"
The dia certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity to make a story, imdiately snapping away at the woman and Evelyn.
Jas’ thin lips pressed tightly, and the reporters around him unconsciously backed away, afraid of being caught in his wrath.
"Quentin, take her to the police station and notify Lawyer Archer."
A wealthy businessman suing an ordinary person seed sowhat unkind.
The eager dia imdiately turned to interview Evelyn.
"Ms. Clayton, are you happy to see Jas Grant defending you like this?"
"Ms. Clayton, will you publicly apologize to Cindy Owens?"
