Nathaniel York's words instantly reminded Matilda Jenkins that she shouldn't make a scene. The media thrived on sensationalism, and they had no empathy to speak of.
Matilda remembered how, in the past, a celebrity had been kidnapped. The media reported on it extensively and followed all the developments. In the end, the kidnappers killed the victim.
If this situation became known to the media, it would only make things worse.
Concerned that Matilda might not understand the gravity of the situation, Nathaniel York continued, "If the media gets wind of this, they'll blow it out of proportion and make things uncontrollable. Not only will we fail to save her, but Scarlett Glenn might end up getting hurt. I'll figure things out. You need to stay calm. Did you hear me?"
Matilda nodded. "I know, I heard you. I won't cause a scene... "
But she couldn't just sit here and wait. She had failed to protect Scarlett and had to find her.
