Female Novel
Chapter 2933
The two reporters in the car could feel a shiver run down their spines as an eerie chill swept over them.
The reporter in the passenger seat could not resist the pressure and blurted out, "We're from GreenApple Daily."
Luke narrowed his eyes. Green Apple Daily?
They had practically delivered themselves to him. There was no need for him to go looking for themnow.
That worked out nicely...
"So, was the article about me first released by your company?" asked Luke straightforwardly, casuallyresting his hand on the car window. There was no way the reporters had the guts to roll up the windownow.
"Yes..." admitted the reporter in the passenger seat, unable to withstand the pressure.
The driver shot him a glare. The news was published by several news media companiessimultaneously.
How could he admit to it?
Was he a fool?
This was not the time to admit it. He should have pushed the blame onto their competitors, no?
The reporter in the passenger seat met the driver's gaze and realized he had made a mistake byadmitting it. He quickly turned to Luke. "Actually, many news agencies published it simultaneously. It'snot just our company."
"Did you write the article?" Luke ignored the explanation and questioned the two of them.
Typically, news media companies operated this way. The reporters who reported on a story wouldfollow up on related developments.
The reporter in the driver's seat nodded, looking like he was about to face his doom. "Yes, we wrote it.Everything we wrote was based on information from insiders, and it's all well-founded. We won't falselyaccuse anyone."
"We won't reveal the identity of our sources either!" added the reporter in the passenger seat.
Even though they were afraid, they had professional integrity.
Luke frowned.
This made the two reporters hold their breath even more.
"I'm not interested in the person who gave you the information," replied Luke, not wanting to coaxanything more from the reporters regarding that matter. That information was something that couldeasily be traced. "I just want you to relay a message to your source."
"W-What?" The reporter in the driver's seat stammered.
"Tell her to pay attention to tomorrow's news." Luke stood up straight right after he said that.
Just as the two reporters were about to let out a sigh of relief, they heard Luke saying, "Stop followingme. Even if you follow me a thousand times, you won't get what you want with false reports. Don'twaste your time."
The two reporters watched as Luke returned to his car and drove into the residential area. They stilllooked dazed, trying to process what Luke had just said.
Was he denying the rumors about him and Luca?
Also, did he mean there would be major news tomorrow?
"Does he mean that there'll be big news tomorrow?" mumbled the reporter in the passenger seat. Hewas a photographer, and it was the driver who handled the writing.
He asked what Luke meant.
The reporter in the driver's seat was also puzzled. "How would I know?"
"Well, if there's big news, maybe we shouldn't sleep tonight. We might even get a secondhand report..."The reporter in the passenger seat's eyes lit up. They needed more news to fatten up their bonuses.
"I don't think that's it. I suspect he wants to deny the rumors about Luca. So, maybe a news companywill issue a clarification statement tomorrow," speculated the reporter in the driver's seat. It should belike that.
After all, when celebrities faced rumors, they either openly admitted to their romantic relationships orimmediately issued statements denying them.
"Perhaps..." The reporter in the passenger seat speculated further, saying, "But if he issues astatement tomorrow, won't it be too late? To be honest, big shots like Luke Crawford have top-notch PRteams in his company. Why didn't he deny it or clarify things today? The more I think about it, the lesslikely it seems."
He actually thought there might be some other breaking news.
The reporter in the driver's seat started the car and said helplessly, "No matter what it is, we didn't getanything today. Let's try it again tomorrow."
"Should we convey that message to our source?"
"We'll have to return to the office to check the email..." The reporters had gained nothing. Hence, theyreluctantly went back to their news media company.
Night fell, and after receiving an email from Green Apple Daily, Myra immediately forwarded it to Karen.
[Madam Mallory, what is Luke up to?] Myra felt anxious, wondering if Luke already knew that they hadleaked information to the reporters.
If that was the case, they were in big trouble...
[Did the reporters reveal your identity?] Karen glanced at the email, remaining calm.
[No, I registered a new email. They have no idea about my identity.] Myra was not that foolish toexpose her identity to the reporters. That was why she registered a new email when she provided theinformation to the reporters of Green Apple Daily.
[Then what are you afraid of?]
Karen took a sip of her skin-rejuvenating fruit juice and typed slowly: [The reporters don't know youridentity, so they won't expose you. Stay calm. I think Luke was just trying to scare the reporters after hesaw them following him. It's just a show of strength. This kind of tactic is often used in the businessworld. Don't worry.]
Myra felt more at ease after reading Karen's message.
She realized that if she was truly frightened and panicked, she would be falling into Luke's trap.
After a while, Karen replied again: [Don't lose your composure. We've handled this matter well. Lukewon't find out. Even if he blames someone, it'll be those news media companies, not you or me.]
[You're right.] Myra smiled, feeling better. [Let's wait and see what news Luke plans to releasetomorrow.]
[I don't believe it. Besides issuing a clarification, all he can do is sue the news company. But if he reallydoes that, no matter how much he clarifies, no one will believe him. Discussions will continueunabated.novelbin
[When things are about to die down, we'll stir up the public's curiosity again. This time, I want his life tobe in turmoil!]
Karen quickly typed out the messages and sent them to their group of three.
They all had a common enemy to deal with. Thus, they were especially united at this moment.
Margaret, who had been quiet, also agreed: [Madam Mallory is right. If Luke Crawford can't admit hismistakes, he's not much of a man. Now, it's our job to teach him a lesson on behalf of his wife. Menwho cheat on their wives can't be forgiven, and women who become mistresses should be condemnedby everyone.]
Karen's words had a calming effect, and with the support of the Mallory family, Myra and Margaret wereconfident that they could really teach Luke and Luca a lesson.
In the end, Myra jokingly wrote: [Mrs. Jackman is right. In my opinion, we're doing a good deed. Eventhat dim-witted wife of Luke's should be thanking us!]
They did not know much about Luke's wife, especially after she was kidnapped and brought back. Lukehad kept her well-protected.
The little they knew came from what Karen had told them.
