Chapter 560


    Paige threw herself in front of Allison. Her face was glistening with sweat. “Allison, you better head


    upstairs now. Ugh, would you vultures from the press give it a rest already? Security, hey, security, get


    over here!”


    At the back entrance of Epic Entertainment, several security guards rushed over, forming a protective


    barrier between Allison and the relentless media, escorting her inside. Allison’s lips were pressed


    tightly together. Her gaze was fixed on the pushy reporters, whose hungry eyes were eager for scandal


    at any cost. Her fingers clenched into tight fists.


    “What have I got to say?” Allison scoffed. Her voice was dripping with disdain. “I should be asking you


    what you’re so desperate to ask by camping out here. You want to know if the person in those photos is


    me? What’s it to you? Oh, what, is the guy in the pictures your husband or your dad? Is that why you’re


    buzzing around like flies, waiting for me to show up every day? Those pictures aren’t of me, so they’re


    none of your business. If you want to be real journalists, you don’t take these shady shortcuts. The


    buzz around celebrities is fleeting. Just a few days ago, there was a tragic car ident on Main Street


    that imed the lives of two expectant mothers. Why aren’t you reporting that? Or the child abuse case


    over in Oakwood district. Why aren’t you all over that story? And what about the scandal at Sunny


    Meadows Nursing Home, where the manager was found mixing glue into the residents’ food? Why


    aren’t you hounds chasing down that news?”


    Her voice resonated clearly. Each wordnded with a thud. A hush fell upon the media. They seemed


    to freeze in ce.


    Sophie, with a microphone in hand, flushed with embarrassment. She hadn’t felt this humiliated and


    uneasy in a long time. She came to dig up an exclusive, to unveil Allison’s scandal, but now, it seemed


    as if she was the one getting embarrassed. Allison was d in a sleek silver hoodie and jeans. Her


    face was partially hidden by sunsses and a beanie. Her exposed skin was glowing, and her red lips


    curled into a mocking sneer. She stared at Sophie as if she was watching a pitiful jester.


    Sophie’s grip on the microphone trembled with rage.


    “Yes, you’re right,” she retorted, “but as a public figure with fans who adore you, shouldn’t you be


    setting a positive example, rather than being involved in disgusting acts, getting cozy with multiple


    men? Don’t you owe your fans an exnation, Allison? Dodging the issue and keeping out of sight,


    such behavior is utterly disgraceful!”


    “That’s right; our job as media professionals is to cover the hottest stories, and we take our work


    seriously. Other journalists cover societal issues; we’re entertainment reporters, and there’s nothing


    wrong with staying in ourne! Allison, as a celebrity, you’ve acted indecently, and you owe the public


    an exnation!”


    Patty, Emma, and the rest of the team descended the stairs, quickly stepping in front of Allison to shield


    her from the press. The group made their way into the building, heading

    to Allison’s studio. Emma handed her a ss of water. As their fingers touched, she realized how ice-


    cold Allison’s hands were.


    Emma squeezed them gently. “Don’t worry about those media sharks; that’s just how they are.”
