Chapter 695
Downstairs, a swarm of reporters crowded outside the doors of Apex Mediaworks, their cameras ready, all hoping to break the latest story about Kenneth’s love life. Ever since the rumors about “Kenneth’s Relationship Exposed” hit the internet, the media hadn’t budged from their spot.
Kenneth had always been squeaky clean. He’d never been linked to any female celebrities. If the paparazzi ever snapped a photo that looked a bit too friendly, Kenneth’s agency would jump in with an immediate statement to clear things up. But this time, as the rumors online kept getting wilder, Apex Mediaworks only tried to dampen the buzz. Kenneth himself said nothing.
If this was real-if Kenneth had been pretending to be single just to fool his fans, only to get cheated on by some heartbreaker-it would easily be the juiciest gossip of the year. No reporter was about to let a story like this slip through their fingers. Just as the tension in the crowd peaked, someone strode out of Apex Mediaworks’ lobby. The man was tall, broad-shouldered, and carried himself with a kind of quiet authority. Dressed in perfectly pressed black work fatigues, with neatly trimmed hair and sharp features, he seemed to radiate a tough, no-nonsense vibe.
Even from across the street, you could tell he wasn’t someone to mess with.
“Wait, doesn’t he look familiar?” someone in the crowd whispered. Instantly, the group started scrolling through their phones, comparing the man’s face with the photos in the news.
He was Charlotte’s boyfriend-well, one of them, if the rumors were true.
“That’s him,” one reporter said with certainty. “He’s the trainer Charlotte was flirting with during those fitness sessions. Judging by his uniform, he’s probably some high- ranking officer.”
“What’s he doing here at Apex Mediaworks? Think he’s here to confront Kenneth?” another chimed in.
A showdown between two guys over a girl? That was the kind of scene the tabloids lived for.
“Did you see his face? He looks like he’s about to explode. I bet he and Kenneth already had it out,” a male reporter added, sounding like he spoke from experience “It’s official Kenneth has a girlfriend, and he just got played.”
Almost on cue, the reporters surged forward, cameras and microphones aimed at Donald.
“Sir, what’s your relationship with Charlotte?” the first one blurted, shoving a mic toward his face. “Is she really seeing three guys at once? Are you here today because of a fight with Kenneth?”
Donald stopped, eyes scanning the parking lot. He didn’t see Charlotte’s car anywhere. His expression shifted, his gaze turning icy, cold anger settling over his features.
The reporters felt the chill but held their ground, thinking, See, we nailed it. He’s furious. And who wouldn’t be, after getting his heart stomped on like that?
Donald stood there, silent and stern, not saying a single word. But online, his presence had already exploded News sites were plastered with headlines like Three ming Scandal Confirmed, The Men Come Face to Face].
The internet lost its mind. All the blame and outrage was aimed right at Charlotte.
[Does Charlotte have any sense at all? Why act like such a player?]
[Kenneth must be out of his mind to fall for someone like her! So trashy-I’m
reporting her to Kingswood University!]
[Heard Charlotte got a special invite to the International Medical Competition. Would anyone trust a doctor with morals like that?]
