"Actually, you're kinda hot, Austin."She held up her chin with her hand as she stared at Austin with a smile.Austin coldly replied, "So, you're saying that you've fallen for me?"Fiona snorted as she poured herself a glass of red wine.

Even Ezra, with all his strength, wouldn't be able to do much about it. Worst of all, they couldn't make sure that Austin was safe. In the span of a night, a determined Ezra tried all means and dispatched all the manpower he could to investigate the matter although they still couldn't find out anything.

Austin was grateful to Cecily for not urging him to explain himself right away. Still, he felt remorseful. As he watched her head upstairs alone, he balled his fists, his rage rising within his chest. Fiona! Flames of rage danced in his eyes. Just then Ezra, Aldus, Wolf, and Raquel walked over to him. To Raquel, Austin said, "Raquel, please head upstairs and keep Cecily company." He took a deep breath as he tried to suppress his anger.

After Raquel went upstairs, Wolf got down on one knee and said, "Sorry, Mr. Campbell. I'm at fault for what happened last night."Austin waved his hand to dismiss it. "It has nothing to do with you. I was too careless."His face was grim when he turned to Ezra. "How is the PR team doing?" Ezra forced a helpless smile onto his scowling face. "We couldn't do anything. It's everywhere on t

"Stop talking nonsense," Austin said, frustrated. "We need to find a way to placate the people out there." "We can't!" Vincent spread his hands with his palms facing upward. He sat beside Austin, took out a tablet from his bag, and passed it to Austin."See for yourself," said Vincent, nodding at the tablet. Austin took the gadget. He somewhat knew what was happening on the Internet. That was why he didn't tap the notification on his phone this morning.

His eyes hurt just by looking at them, making the veins on his temple pulse. The first picture in the article showed him standing in the middle of the hotel room, staring down at Fiona who w

It was completely silent in the living room. The atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating. Everyone there felt helpless and desperate. Austin had it the worst. He'd never felt so powerless in his life. He wanted to grab something to pull himself out of this mess, but there was nothing he could hold on to. The power of public outrage was overwhelming. He couldn't find a way to quell it, and the resulting pressure stressed him out. Just then, his phone started ringing. When he picked up his phone and saw the name on the screen, his eyes lit up instantly. Walter was calling him! Perhaps there was a way to solve this, after all! Austin quickly answered the phone.
