Chapter 264:

Following Kian’s gaze, the reporters finally caught sight of Bryan and Eileen at the scene. Dressed in a black tailored suit that accentuated his great figure, Bryan regarded the crowd with a cool detachment. Beside him, Eileen was clad in a sky-blue windbreaker, her hair cascading over her shoulders. Together, they appeared to be a perfect couple.

Despite Kian’s abrupt mention, Bryan remained composed. He opened his mouth and calmly stated, “The photos merely captured them on the same bed. There was no video evidence. It’s likely that nothing untoward occurred.”

His explanation was offered, yet it seemed to clarify nothing.

“It was early morning. They had likely finished whatever they were doing. Naturally, no videos were captured.”

“Exactly. That’s hardly convincing, Mr. Dawson.” Whispers spread among the reporters, their emotions fueling a boldness they hadn’t shown before Bryan. Subsequently, the two reporters who had retorted felt a twinge of regret. Observing Bryan’s face with trepidation, they feared his wrath might lead to punitive measures against their outlets.

In contrast, Bryan merely shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze shifting back to Kian. “There’s nothing more I can do. They simply aren’t convinced,” he said.

Kian’s frame tensed visibly, his agitation apparent. “You—” Rather than offer specific clarifications, Bryan’s remarks only served to intensify the scandal, subtly confirming the reporters’ suspicions.

It dawned on Kian that Bryan was not afraid of his previous threat. He speculated if Bryan doubted his resolve to do something to Eileen.

Kian said, “Eileen and my assistant, Benjamin, spent a night together in a lodge close to our hotel that very day. Bryan, do you believe nothing happened between them?” Kian’s declaration stirred a wave of commotion among the journalists.

They pondered whether Eileen had been unfaithful. Subtly observing the intertwined hands of Bryan and Eileen, they could discern the profound love shared between them. They wondered if Bryan didn’t mind it.

Eileen’s brows furrowed as she eyed Benjamin, who stood quietly behind Kian. Though he was silent, his lack of defense suggested his tacit agreement.

Eileen was poised to clarify the situation when Bryan spoke up, “Is that so? Then tell us the specifics. Name the lodge. Specify the exact time and place,” Bryan said.

Kian scoffed, “There’s only one lodge near the hotel. Everyone—if you doubt me, feel free to check.”

Bryan guided Eileen from the corner, pulled a chair for her, and gestured for her to sit. He then seated himself beside her.

The reporters were puzzled by Bryan’s actions. Bryan turned his cold gaze upon them and declared, “Why are you just standing there? I will not believe this is true unless you present concrete evidence. Why not dispatch someone to check with the owner of the lodge?” His words were laden with scorn, directed at Kian, making Kian feel humiliated.

The reporters hastily got in touch with their colleagues to investigate the nearby hotel. By a stroke of luck, several reporters were already at the hotel seeking new leads, placing them in close proximity to the site.
