Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 684

After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.

Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him.

"Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love"

"Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investigation"

"Mystery Surrounds Death of Hawk Corporation's Daniel Hawk"

"Hawk Corporation CEO Unilaterally Declares Estrangement from Ms. Claudia Quirk"

My hands, holding the phone, were trembling.

I couldn't tell if it was from the cold or the shock and unexpectedness of this news. What was Nicholas doing? Why did he feel the need to hold a press conference?

Confession of love? Daniel? Claudia? These names all connected somehow, but I couldn't piece together what had happened!

I had no idea what Nicholas was thinking. Claudia had just been arrested, and now, at such a sensitive time, he had said something that would stir even more controversy. What about Tabitha and Cory?

A flood of questions overwhelmed me. I didn't know what to do. Should I buy a ticket to return home, call Wendy, or try to understand what was happening with Nicholas?

With my mind in chaos, I clicked on a video showing the scene of his press conference.

There he was, looking solemn, the lighting above reflecting off the fabric of his black suit.

In recent years, Nicholas' public image had always been one of aloofness and understated authority. When he appeared at the press conference, the only sounds around him were the constant clicking of cameras.

He removed his sunglasses and calmly surveyed the room. The relentless flashes made him squint slightly.
