Shang Jingchen scrutinized the swarm of media personnel that had somehow found their way in, nursing a throbbing headache. How did they get in?
Were journalists not forbidden from attending such banquets? The security is utterly inexcusable. To make matters worse, they chose to show up just as the Shang Family's dirty laundry was aired out in the open.
Mindful of the Shang Family's honor at stake, he was left with no choice but to turn to Ye Lu angrily:
"What exactly happened? Explain why you hit someone!"
All eyes, including the journalists' cameras, were trained on Ye Lu.
Backed into a corner and visibly shaken, Ye Lu felt as though she was being railroaded. The women had clearly choreographed this altercation, yet she was unable to defend herself.
If these gossipy journalists got wind of her having an illegitimate child, she wouldn't be afraid of being ridiculed. However, her child would certainly become the butt of jokes - a sacrifice at the altar of scandal.
