The reporters ran towardlike they had gone nuts. | simply had nowhere to run.
A group of people rushed to surround me. The flashes were non-stop, and | felt like my eyes were going blind. At
the stime, they started asking smean questions.
"Mrs. Grant, do you know that Grant Corporation has plagiarized a foreign company's intelligence technology?"
"Do you know if the plagiarism was done individually or collectively? How much do you know about this matter?"
Mrs. Grant, it's said that you aren't working in Grant Corporation but the company working on this project with
Grant Corporation. Did you decide to plagiarize together? Are you planning to sit back and make a fortune with
other people's intelligence technology?"
"Mrs. Grant, it's said that all the assets under Grant Corporation are currently managed by you. As the wife of a

means?"
Each question was trickier and more bitter than the other.
| could not say a word. Nothing | said at this moment would do Grant Corporation any good.
| wanted to break out of the reporters’ siege but could not do so.
The flashes were hurting my eyes, and the noise beside my ears was givinga headache.
"Mrs. Grant, does Mr. Grant often use unfair means to engage in business competition? How else could he have
turned Grant Corporation into Whaldorf City's leading enterprise in such a short period of time?" These reporters
were too much!
| could not stand it anymore. "May | ask all of you to please watch your words? If you don't have any evidence,
then please do not slander my husband and me. I'll sue you for malicious slander if my family falls apart.
There were even more flashes after | said that.
| lifted my hand to cover my eyes, feeling so awful that | was on the verge of tearing up.
"You're really clutching at straws now, are you, Mrs. Grant? You said that we're slanderous but there won't be
smoke without fire. If Mr. Grant is really as righteous as you say he is, he shouldn't be apprehensive of our
malicious slander-unless he has really done something he shouldn't have done and is guilty. All this intimidation
is just bluff and bluster, huh, Mrs. Grant?"
Someone gavea push and | fell to the ground. | tried to get up, but a woman stepped on my hand.
The high heels were sharp, and the pain | felt in my hand was excruciating.
| gasped. Enduring the pain, | tried to get up from the ground again.
If I did not get up, | might get hurt even more.
However, someone did not seem to wantto get up. Every t| was just about to get up, | would be pushed

| had no strength left to get up. | felt both furious and desperate at the stime.
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed. The air seemed to have condensed as well.
| raised my head, my gaze falling on Theo walking out of Grant Corporation's building.
His gaze was cold. Behind him was a group of company executives who looked very imposing.
When the crowd suddenly dispersed, he sawlying on the ground with a single glance.
| knew just how wretched | looked right now.
The temperature arounddropped. Theo walked towardwith a towering rage.
His face was icy-cold, and his gaze when he looked at the surrounding reporters was even frostier.
The reporters were intimidated by the look in his eyes. They all stepped back in fear.
