"What did you say?" Amelia suddenly heard the words of the reporter and felt her body going numb as she blankly kept looking towards her, trying to understand the meaning behind those words and make sense of that rumor.

Amelia herself learned about the woman Damien was marrying today and there were already rumors about her being involved in the suppression of Blake's business.

The most annoying fact was that everyone seemed to believe this, as all the reporters had become silent as if they wanted to hear her answer. This was despite knowing that due to the reputation of Blake's, the business run by Emilia Blake's mother, was experiencing losses for several years.

And now these people are blaming her for all of this?

Unforgivable!

"To which news channel do you belong?" Amelia clenched her fist and glared at the female reporter, feeling humiliated to see how such a simple question could become a headline for other channels, prompting her to ask.

'....' The woman reporter, after being asked the question by Amelia, glanced towards Damien, who had hired her to act like a reporter.

"Just arrest me, I can't stand here," Damien declared. Seeing that it was enough for the act, he directly loosened his hand that had caused Lin Wanruo's body to collide with him. She pushed him away, but found herself being pushed back.

'Did he just tried to...', Wanruo clearly felt his firm chest when she collided with his body as he pulled his handcuff upward, prompting her to grit her teeth and growl, "You bastard, were you trying to take advantage of me?"

"Huh?" Damien, who had just let the woman pull his handcuff again, raised his eyebrow, realizing that she must have misunderstood his actions as him taking advantage of her. He sighed before firmly declaring, "Miss Tin, you think very highly of yourself.

Isn't it clear that you, a mere police inspector, are just trying to create a scandal with the heir of the Raphael Group by fabricating false statements?"

"What? A scandal with you—" Lin Wanruo was taken aback seeing how he just blamed her, accusing her of trying to get involved with him. This made her enraged, but she was stopped in her tracks.

"Leave it. I can't expect others to understand me if my own have abandoned and betrayed me," Damien interrupted her, his face showing sadness as he looked towards the sky with a defeated expression. He didn't forget to strike a good pose for the press to capture a compelling picture.

In the end, people believe what they see, and he was just making sure to provide enough information to garner sympathy from those who would see a heartbroken man betrayed by his lover, who had him arrested while one who arrested him was trying to take advantage of his status by creating a scandal.

'Huh?'

'Huh?'

Both Amelia and Lin Wanruo remained static while being bombarded with camera flashes, their minds still trying to understand what exactly had happened.

Amelia was trying to understand why Damien acted in such a way, as if blaming her for all of this.

Lin Wanruo was confused seeing him just pass by her before entering the police car without paying much attention to the mess he created outside.

And, Damien?

He had a devilish grin while watching the scene in front of him – a woman with teary eyes, looking like a trembling rabbit, with her hands cuffed, while he held the car door open.

"I-i was k-kidding." Emilia pushed herself away as she saw Damien looking at her with that smile, causing her to tremble in fear as she remembered how she had just tried to set him up.

"Oh, is that so?" Damien pretended to be surprised as he widened his eyes and took a seat inside the car before closing the door. Turning his head towards Emilia, he said," You should have just told me."

'H-he believed it', Emilia, seeing that he appeared genuine, felt relieved that he didn't take her actions to heart and showed leniency, prompting her to sigh in relief before abruptly nodding, "Yes, I wanted to prank you."

"Ah, a prank, I see," Damien nodded as the driver in front passed a key for his handcuffs. Damien used the key to unlock his hand, and as he opened the handcuffs, he amusingly stated, "But, you see, I am pretty much offended here."

"Sorry?" Emilia flinced as a sudden chill spread across the seat in the car, Damien's voice resonating inside, causing her to slowly turn her head towards him. Her face was blank, lips parting to speak but quivering.

"How dare...," Damien dropped the handcuff out of his hand and met Emilia's tearful eyes with a small smile forming as he continued, "You tried to set me up. You are done for, Emilia."

"N-no" Emilia felt her back hitting the other side door of the car. Due to the compact size of the interior, she wasn't able to get away, with her handcuffed hands also being a hurdle. She saw Damien rubbing his wrist as the car started to move, causing her to panic and cry out, "Someone, please save me! Someone help!"

Unfortunately, the car had already departed from the hotel gate, leaving behind everyone who could have potentially heard her desperate plea.

"So, shall we begin then?" Damien began to take off his coat, a playful expression in his eyes as he focused on Emilia, who instinctively shielded her body with her hands out of fear. Frantically looking around, she attempted to flee.

"Please, what do you want? Let me go!" Emilia felt herself in trouble after trying to set him up. She cried for mercy, clearly seeing through the man's lecherous gaze, but to her dismay, she was helpless.

"I?" Damien stretched out his hand, then grabbed her wrist as she struggled. He pulled her close in one swift motion and whispered in her ear, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine,"I just wanna let others hear your voice, wouldn't me helping you could provide your whimpering a boost?"
