FAZER LOGINOnce the photos were displayed, they caught everyone's attention.It was true that the photos on display were completely different from the photos circulating online, which had been taken at very peculiar angles.In the photos on the screen now, Vincent and the woman were interacting in a perfectly ordinary and polite manner. There was no hint of anything inappropriate at all.The truth was plain for everyone to see. Laura continued, "Mr. Carter is a very important business partner of mine, and I trust his character. He and Ms. Moore are devoted to each other. No one should seek to taint a relationship like theirs."Vincent looked at Laura and nodded slightly to indicate his gratitude, even though she seemed to have completely misunderstood his relationship with Calliope.At that moment, a reporter stood up and asked a sharp question. "Even if there was nothing immoral taking place publicly, who can guarantee that there isn't anything going on between them in secret?"Vincent
The reporters were everywhere, and they were adept at embellishing rumors and speculations to turn them into sensational stories just to grab attention.Vincent cursed them silently, but he maintained a calm expression and said nothing.He knew that any reply he made in unofficial circumstances could be twisted to mean something else. Just as he was stuck and unable to move, Marisol arrived with a few people in tow. Her subordinates swiftly chased off the reporters and escorted him into the venue safely. "It was my mistake. I didn't expect them to accost you outside. Are you alright?" Marisol asked, concerned.Vincent shook his head, but his eyes glinted icily. "Tony and Chad must have sent them."However, he wasn't worried. No matter what they tried to do to him, the press conference would be successful. He wasn't going to be lenient with anyone who tried to slander him!…Inside the venue, Marisol had arranged for her subordinates to stand guard in various corners as w
Vincent abruptly snapped back to his senses, and his chest tightened when he saw the slightly mocking look in Calliope's eyes.He cleared his throat and forced himself to sound calm as he said, "Traditional medicine is all about observing, listening, asking questions, and examining. I'm observing you to make a diagnosis by trying to find the root cause of your condition."Calliope smiled almost imperceptibly and said sternly, "Keep going."Vincent's fingertips touched her skin once more. This time, he sensed her breath catch, but she maintained her composure, her expression not giving anything away.She had to admit that Vincent's massage techniques were effective, but they were making her feel something more.Vincent's eyes were lowered as he focused on the massage, and Calliope gazed intently at him. Her eyes seemed to hide a million things she wanted to say to him.Vincent suddenly felt an intense gaze burning into him. He looked up sharply, but Calliope's eyes were closed tig
At that moment, Vincent realized just how easily his words could be taken the wrong way. It was no wonder that Calliope was looking at him differently.He hastily changed the subject to try and make the atmosphere less awkward."Ms. Moore, are you going to let that incident go?" he asked tentatively. He expected Calliope to scold him or kick him out.Calliope smiled and asked, "Do I look like an unreasonable person?""No!" Vincent shook his head quickly. Calliope had been very helpful. Even though the rumors about him were damaging her reputation as well, she still hadn't refused to help him. He knew very well that she wasn't that kind of person."Are you hoping that I'll send you away?" "Of course not!" Vincent hadn't had any such thoughts at all. Even if he had to leave Calliope, he would only do so once he had fulfilled his promise and cured her."Alright then. Give me a massage." She closed her eyes and slumped in her wheelchair, looking relaxed.That was good. He'd be r
That night, Vincent stepped through the villa's front door. He expected Calliope to be in the study, engrossed in reading documents like she always was.However, he had just crossed the foyer when he spotted her in the living room. His chest tightened abruptly.After spending so much time with her, Vincent was no longer as scared of her face as he had been, but her temper still confused him because of how hot and cold she was.Seeing her sitting in the living room made Vincent's heart start thumping. It felt like the calm before the storm."Good evening, Ms. Moore." He steeled himself and greeted her. He was planning to slip away to his own room, but Calliope stopped him."Did you find him?" she asked. Him? Vincent went blank for a moment before realizing that she was asking about the man who would be able to help him clear his name. Calliope seemed to be more concerned about that than he was."What are you, mute?"There was an intense look in her eyes as she stared fixedly at
There was a venomous look in Chad's eyes as he glared at Vincent. He looked as if he wanted nothing more than to hack Vincent to pieces."Vincent, your plan is going to fail! I swear that I'll kick you out of Carter Group one day!"Vincent remained unmoved in the face of Chad's hysterical outburst. He stood there without even blinking.Once Chad's voice had gone hoarse from yelling so much, Vincent finally drawled, "I don't have that much free time. I'd rather manage Carter Group well than watch you make a fool out of yourself, and I have no interest in your schemes. As for setting you up…"Vincent chuckled and pursed his lips as he indicated the door. "The door's wide open. If you keep yelling, you'll just be making trouble for yourself."Chad was aggravated, but he hurried over to close the door. "What the hell do you want?""I just want to ask you where you got that contract of yours.""How dare you act as if you don't know? You were the one who found some woman to give me a
