There was no doubt that the reporter called her to inquire about those photos.

If the reporter was more vicious, he would directly ask Joanne if she knew about Brian's affair with Miley. Or, he would ask her how she was going to deal with such a big thing.

Joanne did not know the so-called news rules, but she knew very well that no response was the best response.

Moreover, Brian had explained to her why he had appeared at the hotel with Miley.

Back then, Miley was drunk, kept pestering him, and finally puked upon his clothes, so Brian stayed in the hotel for such a long time.

Although this explanation was only Brian's one-sided statement, Joanne believed in him.

As for resolving the gossip on the Internet, she felt that she should discuss it with Brian.

Consequently, not responding to the media for the time being was the wisest choice.

Compared with the rampant "scandal", what Joanne was more interested in was another thing-

Back then, these photos were sent to her in a very secretive way.

And now, how did they fall into the hands of the media?

It couldn't be because the photos had wings and flew to Joanne and the media by themselves, could it?

Joanne had quit her job as a medical examiner for nearly a year. This questionable point aroused her curiosity about the truth again.

No one would have expected her to pay attention to such a thing.

Even more, no one would have thought that at such a critical moment, she could still stay unremarkably calm.

However, Chris had lost his mind.

Everyone in Everbridge Group, from the board of directors to the cleaner, knew that even if Joanne had been married, she would always be a young girl who needed to be carefully taken care of by Chris.

A few days ago, upon seeing the gossip between Brian and Miley, Chris had been in a very bad mood. Today, there was more shocking information about the gossip. Maybe Chris would go to find Brian.

Unexpectedly, when Chris appeared in the company, he still wore a pretty normal look.

As a result, the staff began to wear abnormal looks.

Chris quickly noticed that something was wrong. He called his assistant and asked, "What's going on?"

Jack guessed that Chris must have not seen the news yet, so he handed the tablet to Chris with trembling hands. "Boss Scott, you, you can read it by yourself."

Chris glanced at those photos and then roughly browsed the report. With a "bang", he slammed the tablet down and turned to go out.

It was the first time that Jack had seen Chris get so angry. He was stunned for a moment and realized that Chris was really angry.

Well, it could be regarded as a wonder.

Chris had always been good-natured. As long as others didn't touch his bottom line, he could always be a gentleman and communicate with them.

But this time, it was estimated that something great was going to happen!

Jack quickly dialed Freya's number. "Mrs. Su, Boss Scott saw the photos on the Internet. He should be going to find Mr. Lambert!"

Chris was already in the car, and the high-performance car was racing toward Lambert Group.

Before the building of Lu Group, a large number of media, including all the domestic media and magazines, were gathered.

However, Brian did not show up for the interview, so the reporters could only wait here.

Chris's car was so fast that the sound of the brakes was particularly sharp. The media turned to have a look, and someone sharp-eyed recognized Chris's car at once.

"Boss Scott is coming!"

As soon as the reporter finished the words, the cameras had already surrounded Chris's car.

The driver opened the back door and signaled the crowd about to make way for him. However, the reporters did not intend to let go of this opportunity to dig out some big news.

"Mr. Scott, are you here because of the news today?"

"Mr. Scott, is there any inside story about the cooperation between Mr. Lambert and Miss Xia?"

"..."

Compared to when he just left the company, Chris was extremely calm now.

He seemed to know nothing. "I've read the news on the Internet. I'm not the party involved, so it's not convenient for me to respond."

"Then are you here for the news?" The reporter went on the inquire.

Chris looked very natural and said, "I decided to hand my only sister to Brian after careful consideration. I have confidence in Brian. I came here today for business."

The reporters all responded that it is a coincidence.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Chris no longer responded. With the help of security guards, he successfully entered Lambert Group.

When the receptionist saw Chris, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Scott, wait a minute, I'll give a message first..."

"No need."

No one knew when Chriss expression had turned as cold and stiff as before. He wore a gloomy look as if he was about to lose his temper.

He interrupted the receptionist and walked straight into the Boss's private elevator. The elevator door closed and automatically arrived at the top floor.

The receptionist had already called Gavin's office. When Gavin saw Chris, who was coming in unstoppably, Gavin was about to get up and rush out. He reached out and said, "Chris!"

"Get out of my way!" Chris stared at Brian's office, and wore an unprecedentedly cold look. His goal was also obvious.

Gavin gestured for Chris to calm down. "It was a misunderstanding."

Chris replied with a sneer. "It's not you who is supposed to explain to me."

"Brian will certainly explain it to you." Gavin begged. "But can you promise me that you will patiently listen to Brian's explanation after going in?"

Chris looked at Gavin coldly. "Do I seem to have lost my mind?"

"..." "'Seem' is not the correct word. You have lost your mind!"

Just as Gavin was silently roaring in his heart, the door of the Boss's office opened, and Brian's voice came out. "Gavin, let Chris in."

Gavin had to make way for Chris, and he watched the latter enter into Brian's office.

Brian knew why Chris was here and said, "I can explain."

Chris's handsome face was covered with coldness. "I just give you one chance."

"Miley is indeed my classmate, and only classmate." Brian did not hesitate. With clear logic and words, he explained to Chris accurately. "As for those photos, it was because Miley was drunk, kept pestering me in the hotel, and finally puked up on my clothes.

"Joanne was pregnant at that time, unable to smell the cigarettes and alcohol. It took me more than three hours to handle it before leaving the hotel."

This explanation was only Brian's one-sided statement, but there was no loophole.

Chris would not believe in Brian so easily. He then asked, "Does Joanne know Miley?"

Brian said, "She knows."

"What about the photos?" Chris didn't give Brian any time to breathe.

Brian replied, "Before Aiden and Romy were born, she already knew about it. I have explained it to her."

Only then did Chris slowly calm down and realized that something was wrong. "What's going on with Miley and those photos?"

Brian gestured for Chris to sit down and asked someone to bring in two cups of coffee. Then he added, "I suspect that Miley asked someone to take these photos. The next day after the photos were taken, she sent the photos to Joanne."

Chris grasped the key point all of a sudden. "Suspect? Can't you be sure?"

It was a piece of cake for Brian to find out who took those photos.

However, he was doubtful whether those photos were taken by Miley, which further showed that this matter was unexpectedly complicated.

Before Brian answered, Chris asked again, "Did you hide anything from me?"

In such cases, there was no need to keep those things a secret.

Brian told Chris everything about the grievances between Rowdy and him.

In the end, he added, "Because of Rowdy, in the past 14 years, I've never dared to show up in front of Joanne. I was afraid that I would put her in danger."

"..."

This time, Chris remained silent for a long time.

Back then, when Iris and Brian had moved into the old house of his grandmother, he had curiously asked his mother why they were living in the old house.

His mother had just smiled and didn't tell him anything. He was busy preparing to go abroad and didn't delve into the reason.

Only now did he know that at that time, Brian and Iris had just gone through a life-and-death disaster.

Now, the people who had once brought disaster to the Lambert Family came back again.

Chris thought about it and soon connected Miley with Rowdy. He asked uncertainly, "Are you suspecting...?"

"Yes," Brian said, "Those photos are very likely to be taken by Rowdy's people, so I can't find any clues. Miley... Should have been in touch with Rowdy, but for now, we have no evidence."

"..."

Things were far more troublesome than they had imagined.

Chris scrunched his eyebrows. "What are you going to do?"

"Take it one step at a time," Brian said, "Rowdy can run rampant in the Golden Triangle area, but the Kent family's power in Arlington collapsed 14 years ago. Also, he has to deal with Wesley."

Chris was not very clear about Rowdy's current strength.

But, Brian and Wesley were a real challenge for everyone.

Even if the Kent family was still in power, Rowdy had to think twice before he decided to deal with them, not to mention that Rowdy had just gained a foothold in Arlington.

Chris was more or less relieved. "If you need my help, just tell me."

Brian nodded. Just then, Freya pushed open the office's door and rushed in.

Freya came here after receiving a call from Jack, who said that Chris was very angry upon seeing the news on the Internet. He was afraid that Chris would fight with Brian.

She almost flew up the car. On the way, she contacted Gavin, avoided the media and came straight up from the basement.

On the way, she considered that it was worth seeing Chris and Brian fighting at least once in a lifetime.

But now, they all looked calm, and there was no trace of fighting in the office.

Fortunately, they could still keep rationale at the critical moment.

Finally, Freya let out a long sigh of relief.

It would be a lie if she said she didn't regret it if she couldn't see the fight between Brian and Chris.

But in this case, she did not have to worry about a problem.

Otherwise, she really didn't know whether she should help her husband or her best friend's husband.
