Chapter 824


    “Why? Do you think I’ll do something inappropriate if I enter a hotel? As expected, people with dirty


    minds would always have filthy thoughts when they think of others,” Lillian replied without


    hesitation.


    Reba’s expression changed. “Lillian, are you insulting me? You have a lot of nerve saying that


    when you’re the one who did all those shameless things.”


    “Am I supposed to do nothing if someone is ndering me?” Lillian retorted coldly.


    “If you have nothing to do with Callum, why did you book a room? Why did you stay in the room for


    so long? Why did you


    you change your clothes ande out? It’s obvious that you’re his mistress, but you don’t want to


    admit it!” Reba replied.


    At this moment, many colleagues had gathered around because of her shouting. Although everyone


    didn’t say anything, some colleagues looked at Lillian with disapproving gazes.


    “It’s because my clothes were dirty. Even a blind person could tell that my clothes were stained


    based on the photo taken. Is there a problem if I go in and change my clothes beforeing out?


    Besides, Callum was in the hotel lobby and didn’t go up at all. Otherwise, you can ask the hotel to


    show you the surveince footage,” Lillian said with certainty.


    “You’re lying!” Reba immediately denied it. “He clearly went up the elevator with you and to his


    room. He wasn’t in the lobby at all.”


    Lillian looked at Reba with a sneer. “Oh, how surprising. You know about this very well. It’s like


    you saw it with your own eyes. Don’t tell me you took these photos and then posted them to the


    forum on purpose?”


    Reba’s face changed as soon as she heard this.


    “I… I’m just… I think it’s only right I do this,” Reba stammered but stared at Lillian with hatred.


    “Oh, you think so, huh? Then I think you need to apologize to me because you deliberately took


    photos and ndered me on the forum,” Lillian said sarcastically.


    At this moment, the colleagues around also looked at Reba with suspicion. Everyone clearly had


    made some spections in their heads. Embarrassed and angry, Reba snapped, “Anyway, it’s


    not me. Lillian,


    you’re lying through your teeth! You’re someone’s mistress! Do you think you’re in the right? We’ll


    wait and see!”


    Lillian shrugged and couldn’t care less about petty people like Reba. Looking at her reaction,


    Lillian guessed that Reba was the one who took the photo and uploaded it on the forum.


    But what Lillian didn’t expect was that this matter started to spread online in the afternoon.


    Someone in the firm sent the news to a verified ount known for


    gossip, and the owner of the ount directly posted those two photos on the Inte.


    After that, theizens revealed Lillian’s personal information and started cursing her online for


    being a homewrecker. Someone even obtained the hotel surveince footage showing she and


    Callum had entered the same hotel room.


    So, Reba looked at Lillian smugly and gloated like she had won, “Look! There is no need for me


    to expose you. Manyizens have exposed your lies!”


    Lillian looked at the flood of criticisms online with a cold expression.


    ording to those keyboard warriors, she was an evil homewrecker who destroyed people’s


    rtionships.


    She didn’t care about their cursing. After all, it was nothing to her after experiencing a life-and-death


    situation. However, she was just worried that her parents would be affected by the negative news.


    When she got off work in the evening, arge group of reporters surrounded her as soon as she


    walked out of the design institute. They kept bombarding all kinds of tricky questions at her.


    “Ms. Quinn, are you a homewrecker?”


    “Do you know that Callum and Madeline are getting married?”


    “What did you do with Mr. Callum in the hotel room that day?” another asked. Even if Lillian had


    prepared for the worst in her heart, a sense of loneliness and helplessness assaulted her when


    faced with such a scene.


    At this time, who could help her?


    Who could help her deflect these questions, and who could pull her away from the encirclement of


    these reporters?


    At this very moment, a loud noise was heard in front of them. Several ck cars suddenly stopped


    at the entrance of the building. Then, a


    group of men exited the car and rushed in front of the reporters and onlookers before separating


    them from Lillian.


    Lillian waspletely dumbfounded and couldn’t figure out what was going on.


    Shortly after, another car drove in. A figure got out of the car and hurried towards her.


    Lillian looked at the person in front of him in a daze. It was Callum!


    He had appeared in front of her again, but this time, it was in a situation like this!


    “Doesn’t he know why I’m surrounded by these reporters? His appearance would only make things


    worse!” she thought.


    In no time, Callum reached Lillian.


    Lillian subconsciously wanted to step back, but he had firmly grabbed her hand with one of his.


    Then, he pulled her outside without saying a word.


    Lillian followed Callum passively. Her mind went nk, and she didn’t even know what to do now.


    All she heard was the voices of people talking and countless phones and cameras aimed at her.


    It wasn’t until she got in the car and heard Callum tell his driver to drive before she returned to


    reality.


    “Callum, do you know what you’re doing?” she shouted suddenly.

    “I know!” He suddenly released her hand and leaned against the back seat. The setting sun outside


    the window cast its light into the car, making his face look a little pale.


    She couldn’t help but be stunned. “Is he sick? It seemed that he didn’t look too good when I saw


    him these times,” she thought.


    “Are… Are you feeling ufortable?” she couldn’t help but ask.


    “No, I’m fine,” he said after he took a deep breath.


    Lillian chuckled inwardly and thought, “As expected, I’m overthinking.” “Please tell the driver to stop


    somewhere nearby and let me off.”


    “You can’t get out of the car now,” Callum said.


    “Why?” Lillian frowned.


    “Do you think you can avoid this when you get out of the car and go home? Believe it or not, there is


    already a group of reporters camped at the entrance of your residential area,” Callum exined.


    Lillian bit her lips. However, the problem was that she was more likely to be criticized since she was


    with him now.


    “Even if there are reporters, I can’t help it. I need to go home. After this, why don’t you find some


    sort of excuse for theizens? The news will die down after some time,” Lillian suggested.


    After all, Callum was just an entrepreneur and not a celebrity. Scandals like this would soon die


    down.
