Chapter 382
Birgitte said while lifting her eyelids to give the reporter a lazy glance, “I’m easygoing, not a saint.
“If I slapped you right now and then rallied everyone to praise you for being so generous and forgiving, would you really just let it slide?”
The reporter forced a smile, but he still wouldn’t let it go.
He asked, “Ms. Cherniavsky, you only got dragged into that mess because of Ms. Miller’s personal issues. Are you honestly not bothered at all?”
Birgitte looked at him for a couple of seconds. “Nope.”
“You’re openly falling out with the Yurchenko family like this. Aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate?”
“That all depends on whether Quantavius can stay in prison.”
“We don’t know what exactly Quantavius did, so let’s not get into that. But the Yurchenko family isn’t just him. What if the same kind of trouble happens again?”
“Then you can come ask me again when it does.”
The reporter was left at a loss for words, stumbling over his own questions.
He thought, ‘Is Birgitte even a woman? How does she manage to answer all these questions like a machine, not showing a single hint of emotion?‘

As soon as she finished speaking, the doors to the auditorium were pushed open once more.
A collective gasp filled the room.
Standing at the entrance, head down and dressed in baggy clothes, was none other than Sophia Hunt–the very person every entertainment reporter would kill to get an interview with.
She was led in by bodyguards.
Aubree reached out and took Sophia’s hand. “If you have something to say, just say it. The reporters here will have your back.”
Sophia finally lifted her head, her eyes already red and puffy. “Please, help me. I don’t want to lose my baby.”
‘We had only come hoping to get the scoop on Aubree’s fallout with the Wilson family. Who could’ve guessed we’d end up landing an exclusive with Sophia?
“I ran into Sophia at the airport on my way to Südlichen Strand. She seemed like she was trying to avoid someone,” Aubree said, gently patting Sophia’s shoulder as if to comfort her.
Sophia’s eyes filled with tears. “I really appreciate Ms. Miller stepping in to help me. Trevor doesn’t want to take responsibility, and his manager, Skyler Huber, threatened me through texts. He said if I didn’t cooperate and help Trevor smooth things over with the public, then…”
