At the entrance of the hospital, Claudia and Hanna were still trapped in the crowd.
Every time they tried to break through, they would be submerged by the tide of the journalists soon.
It happened over and over again.
But Claudia still remained calm. No matter how terrible the situation was, she always had a mild smile on her face.
In this kind of situation, the journalists loved to take some photos of the interviewee who got angry and disgraced himself. Claudia knew it and wouldn’t make it easy for them.
But accidentally, Hanna was pushed down. Claudia wanted to help her up, but somebody tripped her up and made her fell down to the cameraman.
Instead of helping them up, the journalists started their report, “Miss Lewis and Miss Crawford are irritated and start to beat the journalists!”
They also gave some big pictures of the face of Hanna and Claudia.
When Hanna fell down, some of the photographers fell down with her. She tried to get up hurriedly, but the strength from behind was hindering her.
But she knew she needed to think twice before she moved now. After, those journalists might distort the fact and put it in the headline of the newspaper.
Facing the camera flashes, Hanna forced herself to smile.
However, somebody kicked her on the back heavily and whispered, “What a hypocritical mistress! You make me sick!”
The pain caused by the kick was so great that Hanna even wanted to scream, but she refrained from doing it eventually.
The man behind was still trying to do something to Hanna. After all, if he could irritate her, it would be much easier to smear her. When he raised his leg and kicked her for a second time, someone’s leg blocked the way between him and Hanna.
He turned his head surprisingly and found it was Claudia protecting her. Even though she was also pushed down on the ground, she was still trying to help the other just like Hanna.
Claudia couldn’t talk, so she stared at the man with clear eyes.
Soon, the man was flustered. He swore at Claudia and ran away.
However, his swear hurt Claudia heavily.
“I can’t believe a wife is helping the mistress of her own husband! How ridiculous you are!”
Nobody could hear his casual words in such a clamant place., except Claudia.
She stood up at a loss and stumbled in the moving crowd, like a forceless puppet controlled by the other.
When Hanna wanted to stand up, a strong hand reached out to her all of a sudden.
She raised her head surprisingly and saw Ben.
Before she could do anything, he helped her up and gave a signal to Nate. Nate nodded to him and expelled all the journalists with his men.
All the live broadcasts and interviews were stopped, and the noisy crowd was gone.
