Rather than focusing on the woman's link to the Cross Group, the reporters' attention was abruptly captured by accusations about her supposed dealings with them.

"How dare you question our motives when Ms. Cross almost lost her life?!" Joseph's face turned ashen with rage.

"Well, Ms. Cross seems fine to me. Who's to say she's not faking it? Maybe the whole car crash was staged by the Crosses!"

A man's voice rang out. He was thin, wearing a baseball cap, and looked like he was from around here.

While the other reporters were well-dressed and polished, he stuck out like a sore thumb with his scruffy

Seraphina quickly turned away and leaned toward Thomas, whispering urgently, "Get rid of that guy. Take care of him and hand him over to the police later."

She was convinced he wasn't one of the press-he was probably just a troublemaker, likely someone sent by Blake's people.

Thomas hesitated. "But if I leave, who will..." Who will stay to protect you?

Seraphina pursed her lips, glancing around. "It's fine. No one's watching. Go quickly."
