Scarlett's POV:
A group of people with cameras rushed in. Judging from the cameras in their hands and excitement in their faces, they were reporters.
So they would not be able to take pictures of my face, Abner put his hand on my head and held me in his arms.
"Why is this gentleman holding Mrs. Moore? Mister, what's your relationship with Mrs. Moore? How long have you been together? Does Mr. Moore know about you two?" a reporter asked.
"Mrs. Moore, are you here on a date with this gentleman? Does Mr. Moore know about this?" another queried.
These people kept asking me malicious questions. In a fit of anger, I broke away from Abner's arms and stared at them with a fierce gaze.
"Stop inventing stories, or else I will sue you for slander!" I bellowed.
"Mrs. Moore, are you guilty about something? Could you tell us your relationship with this gentleman?" The reporters did not seem to care about my warning.
I protected my belly with my hands and took a step back away from the mob of reporters. However, they were unwilling to give up. They continued to aim the cameras at my face and took pictures of me without consent. The flashing lights were so dazzling that I could not open my eyes or else risk getting blind.
While I was at a loss, Abner reached out his hand and pulled me. I raised my head, and my eyes happened to meet Charles's.
He stood out there and pursed his lips tightly. I could not figure out what he was thinking right now.
The cameras suddenly shifted from my face to his. The faces of the reporters lit up in excitement as they realized how big this news would be. "Mr. Moore, are you aware that your wife is having a tryst with another man?"
Charles did not answer the reporter's question and just held out his palm to cover the camera.
Without a word, he walked to me, grabbed my hand, and looked at the group of reporters with a stone cold expression.
"Whoever releases this news will be facing the consequences!" he warned.
The reporters fell silent at once. Although reluctant, they had no choice but to put away their cameras and leave.
With a frown, Charles pulled me from Abner's arms. However, I grabbed his wrist and anxiously said, "Charles, wait..."
He stopped in his tracks and looked at me expressionlessly.
"Can you find a doctor for Abner?" I asked in a low voice.
"You really care about him, do you?" Charles let out a snort and added, "Don't worry. I've arranged a doctor for him."
Unexpectedly, we bumped into Lily on the way out.
"Oh my! Charles, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be here. What happened back there?" Lily asked with a cunning smile.
"Fuck off!" Charles roared. His cold voice sent a chill down Lily's spine.
"Fine, fine. I won't bother you anymore." Lily smiled awkwardly. With that, she turned around to leave.
But before she could take a step, I hurried to stop her. "Wait!"
Lily froze for a second. Then, she turned around and looked at me with a frown.
Charles held my hand and explained to me, "I really have nothing to do with her."
However, I did not even spare him a glance. Instead, I looked at Lily in the eye and said in a serious tone, "Let's talk,"
Charles did not stop us. We three went to an empty room to talk in private.
"What's the deal with you and Rita?" I calmly asked.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lily feigned innocence.
"You don't know who Abner is, do you? Then why would you hurt him for no reason? Did Rita ask you to do that?" I questioned her with a sneer at the corners of my mouth.
