When they left the police station, it was already getting late.
Stella looked at Finley and said softly, “Mr. Burnett, thank you.”
“Efrain likes you, so think of it as a little employee benefit,” Finley said with a subtle smile.“Do you need me to deal with those rumors online?”
Stella’s eyes flickered. “Mr. Burnett, can you really help with that?”
Finley raised an eyebrow and said, “What? Don’t you believe me?”
“Mr. Burnett, you must have known who I am. I am Ethan Dodson’s wife. The Dodson family is all–powerful in Seattle, so not many can stand in his way.”
Finley seemed somewhat surprised.“You think Ethan did this?”
Stella sneered, “Who else could it be?”
Finley’s eyes twitched a bit.
The situation between this couple was messier than he thought.
He hadn’t even made a move, and they were already at odds?
He considered and said, “Since I offered to do that, I am surely able to. Ms. Sutton, you don’t need to worry about anything else, just let me know if you need my help.”
Stella replied, “There is no need to bury the news, but I do have another thing to ask you for help.” Finley was intrigued.“Go ahead.”
Stella lowered her voice and whispered something to him.
After listening quietly, Finley smiled softly.“Impressive, truly impressive. Way much better than directly burying the news. Don’t worry. I’ll help you with it.”
Stella sincerely said, “Mr. Burnett, I can’t thank you enough for this.”
Finley said, “If you truly feel grateful, then take good care of Efrain.”
Stella nodded gently.“I will.”
Even if Finley didn’t help her, she was committed to treating Efrain well since she had decided to take this job.
Finley checked the time and said, “I just got off the plane and haven’t eaten yet. If you are free, shall we have a meal together?*
Since Finley had helped her so much, Stella saw no reason to turn him down.
“Sure, I’ll treat.”
Finley grinned.“Alright.”

After the meal, it was already dark.
Stella made an excuse to go to the bathroom and settled the bill.

As she was about to leave, blinding flashes of cameras went off. Out of nowhere, a crowd of reporters surrounded her.

“Ms. Sutton, who was the gentleman you just had dinner with? Is he your secret boyfriend?”
“Ms. Sutton, I heard that you had an affair with Brenden Oliver. How many relationships are you juggling?”
“Ms. Sutton, I heard that you were a home–wrecker. Don’t you know that it is highly unethical to ruin people’s relationships? Do you even know what ‘shame‘ means?”
“According to an informed source, you were taken away by the police this morning for
investigation. Are you really the murderer?”
They closed in on Stella, making it impossible for her to slip away.
By the time Stella realized it, it was already too late.
Stella frowned and said, “In a while, I will hold a press conference to answer all these questions.” However, these reporters did not buy it. They kept firing questions, shoving closer.
Stella was pushed around by them, stumbling and getting stepped on several times. She even lost a shoe.
Stella had already been interrogated for a whole day, so she didn’t feel crowding her, she felt even more restless.
great. Now, with reporters
She wanted to push them away and leave, but the reporters were like a solid wall.
“Ms. Sutton, please answer my question!”
“Ms. Sutton…”
“Ms. Sutton…”
The reporters were buzzing around Stella.
Someone accidentally pushed Stella, and she fell hard to the ground.
When Stella struggled to stand up, someone suddenly exclaimed.
“Ah! She hit someone! Ms. Sutton hit someone!”
Instantly, all the flashlights were directed at Stella and started flashing chaotically.
The voices in her ears and the unfamiliar faces in front of her, like masked demons, overwhelmed her, leaving her gasping for breath.
Suddenly, a deep and cold voice cut through the chaos from outside the crowd.
“You all, step aside.”
Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see a tall and well–dressed man standing behind them.
Stella’s pupils contracted for a moment.

While everyone was stunned, Finley walked up to Stella and noticed her twisted ankle. His dark
eyes narrowed slightly.
“I’ll take you to the hospital.”
With that, Finley helped Stella up.

The journalists‘ eyes lit up. They immediately flocked to them like bees to flowers.
However, Finley radiated an impressive authority that kept them from being as aggressive as they were with Stella.
“Sir, may I ask what is your relationship with Ms. Sutton? Do you know about her alleged multiple relationships?”
Finley turned his cold gaze on the reporter, a chill flashing in his eyes.“Are you questioning me?” “Are you questioning me?”
This reporter was who had just attacked Stella with her words. She came with a mission to say whatever offensive things she could.
But now, she held her breath, not daring to say a single word.
The intensity of this man’s presence was overwhelming. When she looked into his eyes, she felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.
Finley lowered his head and glanced at Stella’s ankle. He said to Stella, “You’ve sprained your foot. Let me take you to the hospital first.”
Without waiting for Stella to react, he picked her up.
At this moment, another deep and cold voice rang out into the night.
“Oh? It seems lively here.”
His voice was clear and crisp, like a mountain stream, cold and chilly.
Everyone turned their heads toward the sound.
Under the bright moonlight, the man’s sharp features appeared as if covered with a thin layer of frost.
He surveyed the scene, his dark eyes gleaming like cold gems. A slight, mocking smile played at the corners of his lips.
Many reporters were instantly stunned.“Ethan?”
The beautiful woman standing beside Ethan spoke softly, “About those rumors online, they were all fabrications. Let’s not make things difficult for Ms. Sutton…“
Everyone then noticed it was Kaylyn next to Ethan.
Kaylyn was the center of this storm. These reporters had been wanting to interview her, but her hospital had secure access that none could penetrate.
However, before they could surround Kaylyn, Ethan’s icy gaze shot towards them like a sharp sword.
It froze the excitement on the reporters‘ faces

Ethan said with a cold expression, “Everyone, let’s stop here for today.”
