nca had been looking expectantly at Matthew with her hair soft, and thatst line of his broke her. Matthew had already walked down first.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    nca made a face at his back, sticking her tongue out and pushing her nose up. Then Matthew suddenly turned around and reminded her, “Think up a way to deal with the rumors from yesterday.”


    “…” S-so he saw everything?


    What, was the Empire Group’s PR team just for show?


    nca suppressed her internal emotions, slunk out of bed, washed, and got changed. She was in a proper blouse and skirt this time, and Matthew was waiting for her below the stairs.


    She ate, finishing the deal slowly. Then Curtis jogged over, his expression anxious. The moment he stepped inside, he said frantically, “Bad news, Mr. Grant.”


    In the phone video, Kylie’s tear-streaked face was turned to the camera. She was sniffling. “I was friends of many years with nca. We met each other in high school, but she dropped out after going there for a year. Oh… right, nca’s family is poor, and she just has a grandmother, but that can’t stop her from leading a good life! I’m begging you, don’t spread these rumors around anymore. She managed to get to where she is today, and yesterday was just an ident. It’s not all smooth sailing between best friends, you know?”


    On the way to the office, Matthew was emotionless and expressionless.


    nca ground her teeth. That Kylie was stuck to her like a cowpat!


    “Thought of what to sayter yet?”


    Matthew suddenly turned to look at her nca hesitated and nodded.


    An hour ago, they’d seen at home how Kylie was sobbing and begging the reporters not to dig up nca’s past – all while spilling everything about nca’s past herself.


    Well, so what, nca was honest and upstanding enough for both of them!


    She grimaced, and the car rolled to a stop before the Empire Group Building. Reporters with their cameras were surrounding the area, but couldn’t get close with the bodyguards there.


    “They’re here!”


    Somebody called out, and the reporters swarmed. nca had been prepared, but she still shivered upon seeing the sight.


    “Frightened?” A low voice rang out by her ear.


    “Heh. I, nca Roach, have never been frightened.” nca shot Matthew a mild look, her fingers brushing the pendant on her neck.


    The moment the car door opened, the reporters shoved the cameras and microphones in nca’s face.


    nca frowned, but she still kept polite.


    “Mrs. Grant, do you know Miss Kylie Farley?”


    “Did you do all the things she said you did? We found that your ex-boyfriend went by the name of Todd Small. How did you snag Mr. Grant?”


    “Please face our questions! Are you the same as depicted in the video?”


    “…”


    Matthew looked at how nca stood unshaken, and grew more appreciative of her. Faced with outsiders, though, he still walked up and draped one arm over nca’s shoulder, giving her plenty of an image boost out there.
