Chapter 20 Are You Questioning Me
As Vivienne left the police station, the sun had already gone down.
She looked at Dante and softly said, “Mr. Sinclair, thank you.”

Dante smiled faintly. “August likes you. Consider it an employee benefit.” Then, with a casual tone, he added, “Do you need me to suppress the news online?”
Vivienne’s eyes flickered. “Mr. Sinclair, do you suppress the news for me?”
Dante raised an eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?”
“Mr. Sinclair, you must already know who I am, Vivienne said. “I’m Edmund’s wife. The Harrington family controls Swinford with an iron grip. If he wants something done, there aren’t many people who can stop
him.”
Dante seemed slightly surprised. “You think Edmund did this?”
Vivienne let out a cold chuckle. “I can’t think of anyone else other than him.”
Dante’s gaze shifted slightly.
It looks like their relationship is even worse than I thought I haven’t even done anything yet, and they’re already falling apart?
With a thoughtful look, Dante said, “I offered because I can deliver. Ms. Everest, just tell me whether you need it or not.”
Vivienne said, “No need to suppress the news. But there’s something else I’d like to ask for your help with
Dante’s interest was piqued. “Go on.”
Vivienne lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Dante’s ear.
After hearing her request, Dante chuckled deeply. “Brilliant. You’re absolutely brilliant. Your efforts will be far more effective than simply suppressing the news. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Vivienne sincerely said, “Mr. Sinclair, I sincerely appreciate
this.”
Dante replied, “If you truly want to thank me, then treat August well.”
Vivienne gave a small nod. “I will.”
Even if Dante hadn’t helped her, she had already decided to take this job seriously and treat August well.
Dante glanced at the time. “I just got off a plane and haven’t eaten yet. If you’re free, Ms. Everest, would you care to join me for dinner?”
Since he had done her such a big favor, Vivienne naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“Sure. This one’s on me.”

By the time they finished dinner, the sky outside was completely dark.
Vivienne excused herself to the restroom and went to settle the bill.
Just as she was about to return, blinding flashes erupted around her. A swarm of reporters, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly rushed forward and surrounded her.
“Ms. Everest, who was the gentleman you just dined with? Is he your lover?”
“Ms. Everest, rumors suggest you and Adrian have a close relationship. How many men are you involved with?”
“Ms. Everest, sources claim you seduced your way to the top. Do you not feel any guilt for ruining someone else’s relationship? Do you even know the meaning of the word ‘shame‘?”
“According to insider reports, you were taken in by the police for questioning this morning. Are you really a murderer?”
The reporters quickly formed an impenetrable circle around Vivienne, blocking any chance of escape.
By the time she realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Frowning, Vivienne said, “I will be holding a press conference soon. I’ll answer all your questions then.”
But the reporters were relentless, bombarding her with aggressive questions while shoving and jostling
her.
Vivienne was pushed back and forth, her feet repeatedly stepped on. Someone even knocked off one of her shoes
After an entire day of police interrogation, she was already mentally exhausted. Now, being swarmed by these reporters only made her even more irritable.
She attempted to force her way out, but the barrier of reporters felt impenetrable.
“Ms. Everest, answer my question!”
“Ms. Everest!”
“Ms. Everest…”
Their voices buzzed in her ears..
Then, out of nowhere, someone lost control and shoved her hard.
Vivienne tumbled to the ground.
Vivienne struggled to stand up when suddenly, someone cried out.
“Oh my! She hit someone! Mrs. Harrington hit someone!*

The noise in her ears and the unfamiliar faces before her felt like masked demons, drowning her, suffocating her to the point where she couldn’t breathe
Suddenly, a deep, icy voice came from outside the crowd.
“Move.”
Everyone turned in shock and saw a tall, straight–backed man standing behind them.
Vivienne was taken aback.
Dante…
While everyone was still stunned, the man walked up to Vivienne. His dark eyes flickered slightly when he saw her sprained ankle..
“I’m taking you to the hospital.”
With that. Dante helped Vivienne up.
As soon as they saw Dante, the reporters‘ eyes brightened, flocking toward him like bees to flowers.
However, Dante exuded an overwhelming presence, making them hesitate to act as recklessly as they had with Vivienne.
“Sir, what is your relationship with Ms. Everest? Do you know about her two–timing?”
Dante’s black eyes locked onto the female reporter. A bone–chilling glint flickered in his gaze. “Are you questioning me?”
This was the same reporter who had just been verbally attacking Vivienne. She arrived with a predetermined agenda, uttering words that would elicit the most controversy.
Her breath caught in her throat, and she found herself unable to utter a single word.
The aura surrounding this man was simply too powerful. The way he looked at her made her feel like her heart was about to stop.
Dante lowered his gaze, glancing at Vivienne’s swollen ankle. “You’ve twisted your foot. I’ll take you to the hospital first.”
Without waiting for her reaction, he scooped her up in his arms.
Just then, another deep, cool voice rang out in the stillness of the night.
“Oh? Quite the spectacle here.”
The man’s voice was crisp and clear, lik
a mountain spring, icy and refreshing.
Everyone turned toward the sound.
Under the pale moonlight, the mfh’s sharp, defined features seemed to be covered in a thin layer of frog

He stood quietly, his dark eyes like black gemstones submerged in ice water, cold and distant. His thin lips. curved into a faint, unreadable smirk, carrying a trace of mockery and ridicule.
The reporters were momentarily stunned. “Edmund?”
Beside Edmund stood a beautiful woman who spoke softly, “The rumors online are nothing but baseless lies. Please don’t make things difficult for Ms. Everest…
Only then did the crowd notice Lillian beside him..
Lillian was the central figure in this entire scandal. The reporters had been dying to interview her, but the hospital she was staying in had strict security, making it impossible to get close.
But before they could swarm her, Edmund’s icy gaze swept over them like a blade.
The excitement on their faces froze in an instant.
Edmund’s expression remained cold. “That’s enough for tonight.”
