A chorus of suppressed snickers echoed from the gathering of journalists.

Malicious joy, ill–intent, ridicule, contempt, hatred, each piercing gaze that scrutinized Myra brought a wave of anguish, like maggots gnawing at her very soul, a thousand ants eating at her heart.

Mom, don’t be scared I’ll protect you!”

Nydia held her mother tightly, shielding her beneath her own body, staring down the malicious eyes one by one!

The usually timid and cautious girl now radiated with determination and strength, without a trace of fear. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, never!”

“Myra, I’m alright. I’m alright,” Myra mumbled, shaking her head in a daze, her once clear eyes now clouded and confused.

As Nydia watched, the tears she’d been trying to hold back finally fell, clustering in her mother’s hair.

“What did you say? Say that again!” Aviana pointed at the male reporter’s face, her face flushed with anger, on the verge of losing her temper.

“Aviana, this issue has nothing to do with you. Do you really need to get so worked up?” another reporter scoffed.

Suri’s eyebrows knitted together. She saw through their game.

These reporters were clearly sent to cause trouble!

“Why shouldn’t I be pissed off? Myra is my family, and insulting her is the same as insulting me!” Aviana retorted, her chest heaving with fury, wishing she could snap the reporter’s ribs one by one!

“Family? In front of the media, you guys indeed look like a loving family, but who knows what happens behind the scenes?”

The reporter smirked knowingly. “Oh Aviana, we journalists have seen enough of families like yours. Which woman doesn’t get jealous? If they had the choice, who would want to share a husband?”

Aviana was about to retort, but Suri covered her mouth in time!

They represented the Ashbourne family when they were out, and they had to consider the consequences of their actions. They could not bring unnecessary trouble to Emeric and Cassius.

“Aviana, let’s go. We shouldn’t stoop to their level.” Suri turned to leave, pulling Aviana towards their car.

The reporter who started the argument sneered, “Well, after all, thinking back about how Myra, once the leading lady, had to retire from the entertainment industry due to drug–related issues must still be a source of shame, isn’t it?”

Before the reporter could finish, a blur crossed his vision!

Everyone gasped in surprise!

No one saw where Evadne, the heiress of the Ashbourne family, had come from. Like a streak of black lightning, she cut through the crowd and stood in front of her family!

The reporter was taken aback by the sight of Evadne’s stunningly beautiful face.

She was astonishingly beautiful. How could a woman this beautiful exist in the world?

In his years as an entertainment journalist, he had seen many gorgeous actresses, but none could hold a candle to Evadne. She was breathtaking!

Other women would kill with their beauty.

Evadne was lethall

“You dared to insult Myra. Your mouth stinks as if you ate ten pounds of shit.”

Evadne smirked coldly, not waiting for the man to reply. She grabbed the man’s collar with her left hand, and raised her right!

In front of all the journalists, she gave the man a resounding slap!

Everyone was stunned, including the Ashbournes!

“Evadne.” Nydia was frozen in shock, her admiration for her sister reaching its peak!

“Damn, Evadne! You’re awesome!” Aviana clapped excitedly for her, eager to join in and give the man a piece of her mind.
