Crossroads

Chapter 77

After completing the discharge procedures, Stephanie and the others left Immediately.

Just as they exited the elevator, they heard a commotion coming from the hospital lobby.

At that moment, a crowd of reporters was blocking the hospital entrance, their cameras and flashlights aimed at a woman while the hospital security was trying to manage the order. However, the reporters were too eager for an interview. They paid no heed and instead caused congestion in the lobby.

“Ms. Carter, someone captured a photo of you looking disheveled that night. What exactly happened? Were Isaac and his people responsible for your state…

The reporters asked insistently, their questions loaded with insinuations.

The explosion at the abandoned factory in the north of the city last night had not been managed by public relations in time and had already been extensively reported by the media.

Isaac and the others were arrested, and the incident of being abducted came to light, including the scene of Jessica being rushed to the ambulance last night with disheveled clothes, which was also captured on camera.

Jessica was a public figure and an actress, after all Her disheveled appearance last night easily led to wild speculation, and some irresponsible media outlets made exaggerated guesses.

“I was not violated!” she retorted sharply, her voice tinged with agitation.

This world was just that cruel. Nowadays, netizens were more interested in gossip than in sympathizing with one’s misfortune. Meanwhile, many people, including Stephanie, craned their necks as they curiously looked toward the main entrance. She watched as Jessica yelled at the reporters with a pale and anxious face, appearing isolated and helpless.

Stephanie glanced sideways and sneakily looked at Dominick beside her. She then saw that his expression was utterly indifferent.

“Randall’s and Isaac’s reason for taking away and detonating the abandoned chemical plant was to retaliate against the Innovate Group. Ms. Carter, were you abducted this time because of the previous rumors with Mr. Wellington?”

“Has Mr. Wellington from the Innovate Group send anyone to visit you?”

Compared to a suspicious incident involving a female celebrity, the media preferred news that affected big corporations, especially those related to the third–generation sole heir of the Wellington family.

A reporter, as if having discovered something, suddenly shouted excitedly, “Dominicki”

The rest of the crowd then turned in surprise in the direction of the sound after hearing his name..

Even Jessica and her manager were taken aback, For a moment, the previously noisy hospital lobby suddenly fell silent.

A reporter whispered to a colleague, “Did Dominick personally come to pick up Jessica from the hospital?”

“I don’t know…”
