Chapter 986 Facing the Storm

Emma chuckled softly.

“You’re quite clever, Cherise.

With a graceful stride, Emma approached the window, peering at the swarm of reporters gathered outside the library. “While I may lack the finesse of a professional journalist, feel free to decline my inquiries, challenge me, or even put me on the spot.

Cherise furrowed her brow, rising slowly to join Emma at the window, her heart fluttering with a hint of panic.
