Ice and Fire novel Chapter 755

"Thank you so much, but I can go by myself," replied Alice. With that, she walked towards the door.

She stopped at the door and turned around to look at Greg. She asked,"Is Violet's name engraved forever in your heart? You won't leave her, right? I know that you two love each other so much. You need to be kind to her even if she's difficult sometimes."

Saying that, Alice left.

Tim followed her out of the Presidential Suite to get back to his room, but he saw his assistant standing outside his door. Tim was confused. She should have been off work a long time ago, why was she still here?

"Mr. Tim," she bowed and greeted him respectfully.

"Do you need something?" Tim asked, coming to a halt in front of her.

"There is one thing which I thought you should know," she said. She considered for a few seconds before she decided to tell Tim about the incident.

"Say it," said Tim, getting impatient.

"When I took Mr. Greg upstairs, I saw a reporter at the lobby on the first floor, who was taking pictures of Mr. Greg and Miss Cassie."

"What?" Tim was taken aback. "Why was there a reporter in the lobby?"

She stood aside and stayed silent.

Tim then gave an order,"Check who the reporter is! Find him!"

"Yes, sir," the assistant replied. She then nodded to Tim politely before she turned and left.

The next morning, the sensational news about Greg and Cassie spending the night together disturbed the whole city. All major website platforms and morning newspaper headlines were overwhelmed by their photos, showing intimate pictures of them in the parking lot and proof of their physical attachment as they walked into the elevator of the hotel together. Moreover, the emotionless report which compiled the story about their love hurt the hearts of those who cared about them.

In the villa of the Lu Family, Alice was still in bed when Amy rushed in and hastily woke her out of her slumber.

"Alice, wake up and go downstairs. Dad is waiting for you and he wants to ask you something," said Amy, whose voice was not gentle as usual. She was upset about something and was in no mood to treat her baby daughter gently.

"Mom, I need to get some more sleep. What's the emergency? I'll talk to Dad in the evening," said Alice, sleepily. She had stayed up late last night, looking for Greg and had reached home only early in the morning. She was a little irritated that her Mom was waking her up so soon.

"Fine? Is this what you call fine?" asked Derek as he threw the morning newspaper in front of Alice.

"What do you mean. Dad?" asked Alice, picking up the newspaper. She froze as she read the headlines in the front page, written in bold letters.

'The heir of XS Hospital in an affair with the famous female doctor; couple seem pretty intimate.'

Alice silently read the newspaper article. She was speechless. She knew that the photos were probably taken by someone last night, but the story was completely fabricated. It was far from the truth.

"Does this newspaper want to be shut down? How dare they report such false news? Dad, let's buy this newspaper and shut it down!" snapped Alice.

"Tell me what you know. What the hell is going on? This news has been reported on all website platforms and newspapers," Derek said, ignoring Alice's words. He was really angry when he saw the news first thing in the morning. When he read the article, he was going to rush to XS Hospital to confront Fred and ask him to discipline his son. However, he had been through stuff like this in his many years of ups and downs, and he knew how much the media loved to gossip and create fake news. So, he decided to talk to Alice first before he jumped into conclusions. He had to protect Violet from any harm. Since Jackson and Cherry were far away in Hong Kong, it was his job to take good care of Violet for them.

After seeing the angry look on her Dad's face, Alice figured it was better not to hide anything from him at this point. If she refused to tell him what she knew about Greg and Cassie right now, he would definitely learn it from someone else by any means.

"Alright, Dad. I'll tell you whatever I know. Cassie went to college with Greg when he was abroad. And she fell in love with him at the time, and now she has come back to China for him. What happened last night has nothing to do with what is reported in this newspaper. Greg and Violet had a quarrel, and he went to a bar to have a drink. But unfortunately, he met Cassie at the bar. She acted like she was worried about him and tried to get close to him. She then took him to Tim's hotel after he was drunk. Fortunately, Tim and I reached the hotel on time and drove her away. So in the end, nothing really happened. Greg would never betray Violet. I promise," Alice said, and held her hand up in a gesture to show her honesty. She hoped her dad would believe her.
