Chapter 161

and causes harm to my reputation, am I entitled to sue for infringement?”She continued, “All right. The live broadcast is still going on, even after what I said. It seems like all of you are not planning to end it. If so, let’s be in the broadcast together.”Winnie passed the phone to Nathaniel and took out her phone. Then, she turned on her front camera.In an instant, the faces of those reporters appeared on Winnie’s phone screen.At the same time, the reporters were broadcasting the same thing.With that, the viewers of the live broadcast could then see the faces of those reporters.Some of them instinctively reached out their hands to cover their faces.As they did so, the viewers started to criticize their actions.The viewers began to comment: What on earth? They’re filming her excitedly. Why are they covering their faces when she films them?Another commented: Stop covering your faces! Are you guys too hideous to show yourselves live?Today’s double standards!How shameless! Mr. Garland invited all of you there for an official interview at Garland Group. How could you guys film the others without consent? Besides, they’re filming her family as well! These reporters are so unprofessional!In the meantime, one of the kind viewers just called one of the companies, Orange News, to lodge a complaint.It took just a few minutes for the reporter from Orange News to receive a call from the company’s manager.“End the broadcast now! You should consider the public’s influence on this matter. None of us can afford to bear the consequence if our ratings get affected!”The viewers were criticizing Orange News. Not wanting to take the blame entirely, the reporter had no choice but to end the broadcast immediately.Meanwhile, the other reporters followed suit as they saw the reporter of Orange News ending the live broadcast.Winnie was pleased to see how that turned out to be.Nonetheless, she added, “I don’t wish to see my grandmother’s photos online. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to seek legal action to hold all of you accountable.”Right after she spoke, Winnie grabbed her sunglasses from her bag.As she placed that pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, one could sense her strong and alluring presence.All of the reporters dared not take a photo of her face. Instead, they could only photograph her back in secret as she left.Winnie took two steps forward and suddenly stopped in her tracks.Her sudden actions surprised all of the reporters behind her. Startled, they quickly hid their cameras to avoid being caught by her.Winnie was not bothered to pay attention to them anymore, as she noticed a suspicious person hiding behind the trash can not far away.The trash can was quite some distance from her. Not wanting to alarm that person unnecessarily, Winnie chose not to make a move yet.Holding Jacinta’s arm, Winnie acted as if she did not see anything and casually walked toward Nathaniel’s luxury car.On her way to the car, she asked Nathaniel, “Did you send my grandmother here?”Jacinta interrupted before Nathaniel could answer, “Don’t blame him. He didn’t tell me anything. I was the one who asked him to fetch me here. Even if he didn’t, I would still be able to locate Fairchild Corporation myself.”“Granny, I’m not blaming Nathaniel. I’m just asking.” Facing her, Winnie could not help but feel helpless.Soon, they arrived at the car.Winnie walked to the car first and opened the backseat car door for Jacinta.After Jacinta got in, she walked to the other side of the car to open the passenger seat’s door.In fact, it was not her intention to get in the car. She did so to trick the suspicious person hiding behind the trash can in the southwest corner.The next second, she walked around there swiftly, slowly disappearing into that person’s blind spot. Hence, the person who took photos of her secretly did not notice her whereabouts.Winnie stealthily crept toward that suspicious guy. Meanwhile, the guy just put down his camera and was replying to someone’s message on his phone.Standing close to him, Winnie could read all of the words on the screen clearly.Apparently, the guy was a private investigator hired by someone to follow her and take photos of her. He was reporting Winnie’s every move to his employer.He texted: The websites have stopped all the live broadcasts. Winnie should be returning to Garland Group now.Soon, a text came in: The ghostwriters are still working online to create a publicity stunt. It would take her a while to return to Garland Group and hold a press conference. Another text read: We have enough time. Even if she has no scandals, the ghostwriters will spread rumors about her. By that time, all she could do is hide!The corner of her mouth curled up slightly as she read those bold texts behind.She failed to suppress a snort and voiced, “I don’t think anyone is capable enough to make me hide.”Hearing her voice, the man was shocked and turned around quickly.Before he could react in time, Winnie snatched the phone away from him.He reached out his hand, wanting to retrieve the phone. However, Winnie stepped on his foot with her high heel before he could do anything.She did not exert additional force. Nonetheless, the private investigator could already feel excruciating pain at that trod.“If your hand comes closer, I won’t hesitate to step on your foot with my heels. Don’t make me hurt your foot with my heels.” The brown sunglasses covered her cold gaze as she uttered the words aloofly.The man dared not act impulsively. “Let’s talk. How about you return my phone first?”She twitched the corner of her lips slightly in response. “I’m not interested in taking your phone. I just want to borrow your phone to make a call.”As she said that, she pressed on the video call button.Of course, the other party would never expect such a call from her.It rang a couple of times before the mysterious person finally answered the video call.Winnie did not cover the lens. Her face appeared on that person’s screen almost instantly. On the screen, the other party could see her wearing a pair of sunglasses.The person did not reveal his face, and Winnie could only see the ceiling from his side.Disdainfully, Winnie raised the corner of her mouth and said, “Are you afraid to show your face? What a clown. I bet you’re the one who reported me for taking illegal drugs out of the country, right?”The other party merely kept mum. He did not hang up on her, nonetheless. “What’s the matter? Why are you afraid of revealing yourself to me?” She sneered and continued to provoke the person by saying, “If so, a low life like you is unqualified to fight me. We’re not on the same level at all.”Her words successfully triggered that person. He started talking without showing his face.“Winnie, stop proclaiming yourself as an honorable person. Don’t be so smug. I swear I will make you face your downfall soon!”Listening to that, Winnie let out a chuckle. “I’ve never thought of myself as an honorable person. However, I’m not hiding anything. I have a clear conscience. How about you? You can’t even reveal yourself to me, coward. What do you do when I appear on the live broadcast frequently? Were you hiding in the corner, watching me in the dark with your curtains all closed?”She continued, “What does it feel like watching me with your fists clenched and teeth gritted? You must feel upset watching me in secret, not being able to do anything to me.”“Shut up!” The young man roared at the other end of the line, unable to accept what she said. “How dare you say that you have a clear conscience? You’re the one who killed the woman I love!”“Oh? Is the woman you love Yulissa?”“Keep her name out of your mouth! You don’t deserve to call her name!”“I see. If I’m not mistaken, you are Nate. Look, I’ve taken off my sunglasses. Shouldn’t you be more sincere and show yourself too?” Winnie smiled lightly, taking the sunglasses off her face.As she finished her sentence, she could hear a background voice. “Nate, don’t show yourself! She might take a screenshot of you once you reveal yourself! Don’t be rash. She’s provoking you!”Nevertheless, her words made him lose his rationality. He could not take in advice at that moment.Then, he picked his phone up to reveal his face.As their gazes met, the
