The numerous guests outside were originally dispersed by Chad's orders, but now they were brought back by Harrison's words of selling his daughters for fame.
"Mr. Wells, isn't this inappropriate? You've already given one daughter to Third Master Blackwood ,and now you want to give the second one as well. It's not ancient times where polygamy was allowed."
"And you want Third Master Blackwood to divorce your Third daughter and marry the eldest one . Both are daughters, how do you think Third Miss would feel? Is this something a father should say?"
"Why do you all care so much? Third Master Blackwood's power in the capital is among the top, having a second and third concubine is normal. Even though he's so ugly, what was Mr. Wells thinking? He's already given away one daughter, and now he wants to give away a second one, tsk tsk..."
The conversations in the journalist circle were far more explosive than the crowd watching the excitement.
Reporters had already taken out their cameras and were taking pictures of the scene in the bedroom.
"This is the most explosive and shocking news of the year. Harrison Wells is selling his daughters for fame, and the buyer is Third Master Blackwood..."
"Take more pictures quickly, we won't be able to take them tomorrow. This will be tomorrow's headline news, no doubt." "This will definitely sell well. We weren't even planning on coming, but we came because Lu's family is about to go bankrupt. Who would have thought we came at the right time."
Spotlights and cameras were all aimed at the bedroom, and in less than thirty seconds, the sound of "click, click" shutter sounds could be heard dozens of times.
Harrison was the most concerned about his reputation. Faced with such a scandal, his first response should have been to stop the crowd from dispersing.
But this time, he did not do so.
Instead of stopping the crowd from gossiping and taking photos, he opened the bedroom door wide, stepped aside, and allowed the reporters to take better pictures.
Before tomorrow's newspaper, as soon as these reporters returned, the news of Ethan Blackwood sleeping with Miss Alexis Wells would quickly spread on the internet.
In this way, even if Ethan Blackwood had a strong background and was unwilling, he would have to take responsibility for this in the face of public opinion.
This was what Harrison was thinking, so he became more and more audacious.
Thinking like this, his smile became more and more proud.
He almost forgot how he had injured his wrist. "Mr. Blackwood, as long as you marry Alexis, this matter will be settled."
Harrison repeated, his voice loud, as if afraid that those outside could not hear him.
"Anyway, Avery is my daughter, and Alexis is also my daughter. Whoever marries Mr. Blackwood is the same. Avery doesn't mind."
As he spoke, his gaze passed over Ethan and glanced at Avery.
"Right, Avery, haven't you always felt that your parents have been unfair to you? Haven't you always wanted to leave Mr. Blackwood? Now, this is a good opportunity for you to leave him and let your sister marry him.
Otherwise, what will your sister do in the future? It's not good to have slept with her brother-in-law and have it spread around."
Avery tried everything to avoid her father, but she was once again caught by this man.
She looked at him in disbelief, unable to believe what was happening. Her sister had a reputation and a life, but what about her? Was her life not a life? Was her reputation not a reputation? Avery remained silent, her lips tightly pursed, and there was no glimmer in her eyes as she looked at Harrison.
"Avery," a low, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
Her heart skipped a beat as she looked up at the man beside her. "E.....Ethan" The man looked at her with a calm expression and raised an eyebrow. "Mr Wells said you wouldn't mind. I want to hear it from you."
What was he thinking? Did her thoughts matter to him?
Avery was taken aback, her gaze meeting the man's, and she realized he was indeed asking her.
"I..."
Before she could speak, Harrison ,who was standing at the door, glared at her disapprovingly. "Avery , your sister is so good to you, and you..."
"Shut up!" The man's cold voice was like a heavy metal hammer, pounding on everyone's eardrums. Harrison was startled and wanted to say something, but seeing the cold look in Ethan's eyes, he lost his nerve.
Outside the door, the crowd was murmuring. The guests, who were about to be driven away by Chad, turned their heads back again. Everyone perked up their ears and looked eagerly at the man and woman inside the bedroom.
Chad rushed around, trying to do something for a few minutes, but in the end, he found it was useless. He could only apologize and come to the door, trying to block the cameras in the hands of those reporters with his body. "Don't take pictures anymore! Whoever dares to spread the photos of Third Master will pay the price!" The reporters put away their cameras after hearing this. Although gossip headlines were important, they couldn't offend the Blackwood family and ruin their own careers.
At this moment, the man in the bedroom looked at Avery with a cold and piercing gaze and asked again. "Tell me, what are you thinking? Are you really going to divorce me and let me marry your sister, as your father said? Hmm?"
"Mr. Blackwood, I..."
Facing Ethan's cold mask and his icy gaze, Avery knew that if she expressed any objection, he would never let Harrison have his way.
As a sister, of course, she hoped her sister was safe and sound. But Ethan was the man she had married. Was it really good for her sister if he divorced her and married her sister instead?
Moreover, at this moment, she thought of Julian in the orphanage, the child with severe autism who couldn't speak. Whenever she thought of that child, her heart ached.
Under Ethan's cold gaze, she finally raised her head and looked at her father. "I never thought of letting my husband marry another woman, even if that woman is my sister."
"So, Mr. Wells, it seems your plan has failed. I won't divorce Mr. Blackwood, so you can give up on that idea," said Avery firmly.
Hearing this, Ethan's furrowed brow slowly relaxed, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his lips.
But Harrison couldn't sit still at this point. Upon hearing his third daughter's response, his blood pressure skyrocketed. "Avery, you ungrateful thing! Alexis is your sister!"
"So what if she's my sister? I love her, but that doesn't mean I can share my husband with her!" Avery replied firmly, not giving Harrison any face.
The people outside exploded again at Avery's words. Some accused her of causing her sister's condition, while others defended her.
Amidst the chaos, Avery felt both touched and heartbroken that even strangers believed in her innocence, yet her own father insisted on her guilt and demanded she step aside.
Just as tears were about to fall from her eyes, a strong hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
