"Mr. Lowell, when did you and your girlfriend get together?"
"Mr. Lowell, which prominent family does your girlfriend belong to?"
"Mr. Lowell..."
Microphones were thrust toward them from all sides. A few even jabbed into Clara, causing her to frown in pain and let out a muffled groan.
The next moment, she felt the man pull her firmly into his embrace, shielding her from the chaos. Seeing this, the reporters exclaimed in awe, "Mr. Lowell really dotes on his girlfriend!"

Everyone was envious. But Clara's heart was entirely cold. Because only she knew that Julian wasn't protecting her; he was afraid her voice would be leaked, leading people to track down Seraphina and bring trouble to her doorstep...
Clara closed her eyes, leaning numbly against his chest.
Julian's large hand rested on her slender back as his cold gaze swept over the reporters who had just hurt her. The reporters felt a chill run down their spines and immediately backed off.

Almost the instant her body touched the seat, Clara reacted like she had been electrocuted, immediately pushing him away. She huddled into the corner, as far from him as possible, and turned her head to look out the window...
