Chapter 1409:
The vague answer didn’t satisfy anyone. Another journalist shoved forward, thrusting a mic toward Sandra.
“Miss, can you tell us how you got those injuries? Did the Harper family do this to you?”
Sandra's heart thudded in her chest. Her eyes darted nervously toward Ernst and Brenna, fear making her
hesitate. The bruises on her face were already damning, and she knew that even a single wrong word could
destroy any chance of being accepted by the Harper family.
Before she could say anything useful, Keira stepped in with a shrill voice, seizing the spotlight. “Yes! Those
injuries were their doing. Ernst ordered his men to lock us up and had his bodyguards beat us.”
She yanked up her sleeve, showing the wounds on her arm to the cameras. The reporters surged forward like a
wave, shutters clicking wildly, salready streaming live to their audiences.
Darrell stood frozen at the edge of the chaos, his chest heavy with guilt. His impulsive decisions had sparked this
disaster, dragging the Harper family into scandal and leaving their reputation in tatters.
The paparazzi showed no restraint, jamming their lenses within inches of faces, desperate to capture every
angle. All the while, Keira played her part with theatrical passion, waving her arms and painting a vivid picture of
how the Harper bodyguards had supposedly beaten her and her daughter. The cameras were focused on Keira,
capturing her injuries.
It wasn’t until a second wave of police arrived that a narrow path was forced open, allowing Ernst and Brenna to
push through with Keira and Sandra in tow. But even as she was ushered along, Keira seized the moment,
shouting for the crowd to hear, “Reporters, you must follow the Harper family car! | demand to live in the Harper
family’s residence, not be dumped at shotel. They've stolen my freedom. Spread the word for me; | need
your help!”

the truth gets out.”
The reporters swarmed after them relentlessly, firing questions at Ernst. “Mr. Harper, where exactly are you
taking them? Are you planning to keep them detained illegally?”

Ernst knew he had to defuse the fire before it spread further. For the sake of the Harper name, he stopped and
turned back. His tone was steady and firm. “They will be brought to the Harper family’s residence. We will handle
this properly and give the public a clear explanation.”
Once the car doors shut and the convoy pulled away, the noise outside finally began to fade.
