The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 476

The man didn't shout, but his freezing glare carried a suffocating, unquestionable authority. The immense, crushing presence of a true apex predator instantly blanketed the hallway. The reporters, who had been buzzing with adrenaline just seconds ago, felt a collective shiver down their spines. The burning desire to barge in was instantly extinguished.

They began rapidly weighing the risks in their minds: If they risked infuriating Sebastian St. John and actually captured an explosive scoop, they would skyrocket to the top of their careers. But if they barged in and found nothing, earning the wrath of Statenbury's ultimate titan, losing their jobs would be the least of their worries. The entire network backing them would be annihilated.

This was a massive gamble. Win, and they'd reach the stars. Lose, and they'd lose everything.

A brief murmur rippled through the crowd as most of the reporters hesitated, subconsciously taking a step back.

Victoria realized the situation was spiraling out of control. If all the reporters were scared off by Sebastian, how would this explosive scandal ever get out? Her men had completely blockaded the door; not even a fly could have escaped. The woman inside was trapped.

She offered Sebastian a stiff smile. "Sebastian, since the rumors are already running wild, it's best if you just let everyone take a look inside. It will put an end to the gossip once and for all."

A barely perceptible, icy smirk ghosted across Sebastian's lips. Without saying a word, he stepped aside, clearing the entryway.

Victoria was the first to rush in.

A few reporters with a dangerous gambling streak refused to let the golden opportunity slip away. Gripping their cameras tightly, they followed Victoria into the suite.

Victoria frantically checked every single room but didn't find a single shadow of another person. Her heart sank like a stone. Where is she?

How can there be no one?

She had searched the entire night—was she really going to leave empty-handed?
