Chapter 155 Why Are You Here?
Immediately, everyone’s attention was attracted by the source of the voice. At this moment, Mikayla
walked forward from the crowd before she came to a stop next to Jack. As their eyes met, he wanted to
stop her, but she simply gave him a look of assurance. She then told the reporters, “Mr. Griffith and I are
not in the kind of relationship that you are talking about. The truth is, he is a good person. He
accidentally hit me, so he sent me to the hospital and visited me often. The pictures that you people took
were taken when he came to visit me at the hospital. As for the so-called intimate interactions, please
take a closer look. You’ll see that it’s because of the angle.”
“Are you saying that this is a big misunderstanding? You didn’t go to the hospital to get an abortion?” one
of the reporters continued to ask.
At this point, Mikayla found the situation funny. She then pulled out her hospitalization papers and
showed it to the reporters. “Are these sufficient to prove it? You reporters are always trying to make
something out of nothing. Do you know how big of an impact you’re causing on the people accused?”
At once, everyone fell silent. She pursed her lips before she added, “What I said earlier is the truth. As
for the rumors spreading online, they’re all made up. Please stop spreading false news. Thank you.”
“Mr. Griffith, is that true? Why didn’t you explain earlier? Not even your company said a word about this
issue. Can you explain why that is the case?”
Hearing that, Jack offered them a light smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Let’s be frank, the truth isn’t that
important to you guys. All you seek is the topic and views. Truth or not, it doesn’t matter at all. Initially, I
intended to protect this young girl, so I didn’t bother to engage with the media. Now that she has stood
up and cleared the air herself, I hope that the rumors will hereby die down. Aside from that, I hope that
you will not disturb her daily life in the future. If there’s any issue, you can come straight to me. That is
all.”

After saying that, he moved his gaze to her, and their eyes met. Her eyes crinkled in a smile as she
waved toward him. Then, he turned on his heels to leave. However, her legs suddenly felt weak, and at
the next moment, she fainted and fell to the ground.
“Mikayla…” That was the last thing she could hear as she slowly fell into darkness.
After accompanying Mikayla over, Elise didn’t expect that Mikayla would end up blacking out.
Immediately, she rushed forward, but Jack beat her to it. He then picked Mikayla up and brought her to
the infirmary.
Seeing this scene unfold before them, the reporters started snapping pictures without thinking twice.
Elise halted her footsteps when she saw what they were doing. She then threw them a cold glare,
making them shudder. Just how cold this girl’s gaze was?
“Please refrain from taking photos. It’s an emergency.” After she said that, some of the reporters put
down their cameras at once before giving each other a look. At this moment, Ronald finally arrived. It
was only then that Elise left the scene to follow Jack.
Outside the infirmary, the doctor briefed Jack after checking on Mikayla. “There’s nothing severe. She
was just too anxious. She’ll be fine after a good rest.”
Hearing that, Jack heaved a sigh of relief. He then proceeded to ask, “When will she wake up then?”
Taking a glance at her, the doctor answered, “The earliest will be in an hour, but it may take up to several
hours.”
After getting an answer, Jack let the doctor leave. It was only after the doctor left that Elise spoke up.
“This incident isn’t as simple as it seems…”
Hearing that, Jack looked up at her. At that moment, he seemed to have recalled something as a cold
look flashed in his eyes. “Don’t worry. I know how to handle this issue.”
After getting his reassurance, Elise didn’t want to intervene anymore. After all, it was his private matters,
and she had no right to pry.
“I’ll take care of Mikayla. You can head back first.”
Humming in acknowledgement, he then replied, “Take good care of her for me.”
After saying that, he left. Nonetheless, he didn’t expect to see Corrine waiting outside the door for him.
“Jack, Charlene didn’t do it on purpose. Please forgive her.” As soon as she saw him, she started to beg
for his forgiveness.
He scoffed before asking, “Where is she?”
“Jack, this is something she accidentally did without thinking much. You’ve worked with her for many
years. Please don’t mind her.”
“I’ll ask again. Where is she?”
Feeling a chill run down her spine, Corrine stuttered. “S-She’s not here.”
He didn’t seem bothered after hearing that. He then said in a light tone, “Don’t worry. I will definitely mess
with her until she’s done for. Tell her to look forward to it.” After saying that, he walked off. Though
Corrine tried to catch up and persuade him, he didn’t listen to her no matter what she said.
Meanwhile, Elise’s eyes darkened at this moment.
So Charlene was the one who caused all the commotion. Looking at Mikayla, who was lying in bed, she
decided to teach Charlene a lesson in her place.
As Mikayla’s condition was not severe, she woke up within an hour. However, the first thing that she said
after she regained consciousness left Elise dumbfounded. “Elise, how’s my husband?”
To say that Elise was speechless was an understatement. “All you’re concerned about is your husband!”
Mikayla then cheekily spat her tongue out. She seemed to have recovered and was now back to her

Giving a pat on her head, Elise said, “Don’t worry, he’s fine. What about you? How are you feeling?”
Hearing that he was alright, Mikayla felt relieved. “I’ll be fine as long as he is. Thank you, Elise.”
“Silly girl. Don’t mention it!”
Though they said that, Elise was still worried about Mikayla’s health. Hence, Elise insisted on sending
her home. After sending Mikayla back, she was about to go home herself, but nobody was here to pick
her up today. Therefore, she took a cab back. When the vehicle passed by Times Square, she suddenly
told the driver to stop. “Sir, please drop me off here.”
After paying the fare, she opened the door and got out of the car. She then headed toward a pan-
European restaurant. “Hi, I’d like a beef stew please.”
As she placed her order, she simply pulled a chair and sat down.
“Sure. Do you want chili in it?”
With a smile, she replied, “A little bit will be fine.”
“Got it. Please wait for a moment. It will be ready in a jiffy.”
After taking her seat on the chair, she fished out her cell phone before downloading a software named
File Encryptor. She then logged into an account that hadn’t been active in quite a while.
It was an application that she had designed, and there were a number of files of hers kept within.
The files included things that could be used against Charlene.
In no rush, she simply sent the content of the file to several media companies via email. Looking at the
emails that were successfully sent, she smiled. It seemed that the show was about to begin.
“Your beef stew is ready.”
At this moment, the boss of the restaurant served her a plate of beef stew. Looking at the delicacy before
her, she was about to drool. She then briefly thanked the server before she picked up the single-use
utensils and started eating. Her mouth was then filled with the fragrance of the beef stew that left her
utterly satisfied. Just then, someone took a seat next to her the next moment, catching her off guard. “W-
Why are you here?”
