Before noon, the photo of Emily and Lucas had already garnered significant attention online. Lucas's popularity had been soaring recently, and Emily was also gaining some fame. They were both in the spotlight, and this photo spread like wildfire, being reposted by major websites. Within half an hour, it exploded on the internet like a bomb. Now, reporters and paparazzi had quickly gathered along their exit route, trapping Lucas's car in a narrow alley. The alley was crowded with people. If not for the car windows, the cameras and microphones would have almost touched Lucas and Emily's faces. Lucas was extremely annoyed and pulled down the sunshades, blocking the view from the outside. The car couldn't move, so it had to stay put. Amanda was busy making calls, trying to contact the media to reduce the hype surrounding the rumor. She was very worried. Although Emily wasn't a celebrity, she had connections with Nathan and knew Mr. Parker. Emily's boyfried was said to be a friend of Mr. Parker. They are all the people that couldn't be offended. Today was Emily's first day at work, and such a big incident had already happened. How could she explain this to her boss? "Robert? It's me, Amanda. Yes, yes, this scandal about Lucas is fabricated by the paparazzi. Makeup artists definitely need to interact with celebrities, right? Please delete the news about this rumor. ... I know, I know, I'm counting on you for this, I'll treat you to dinner..." As soon as Amanda hung up one call, she hurriedly made another, pleading as before. Emily remained silent on the side. Lucas glanced at her and comforted her, "I'm sorry, being a celebrity is really troublesome. You have to be very careful about everything you do, or else the paparazzi will make up rumors. This time, you got dragged into it too..." Emily smiled and shook her head, "I was careless." "Forget it, it's not your fault," Amanda finished another call and said with a cold laugh, "At first, I thought it was just the paparazzi, but I just found out that someone is targeting you." Lucas rolled his eyes, "Who is it this time? Is it that guy who got famous from a reality show recently?" Amanda pursed her lips, "If it were him, that would be easy. With my connections in the entertainment industry, I could solve this quickly. Emily, this incident is aimed at you."Emily was incredulous, "I'm not a celebrity. What good does damaging my reputation do for those people?" Amanda looked at her and sighed, "My friend found a paparazzo. He said someone paid him half a million dollars. The paparazzo admitted that Nathan's fiancée hired people to follow you. They're watching you like hawks. As long as they get a photo of you with a man, they'll publish it. This photo of Lucas supporting you while walking was the easiest one to misinterpret, so they immediately posted it on Twitter." Sophia?! She... Emily thought for a moment and understood. Nathan coming to find her at the Hilton had hurt Sophia deeply. She was about to marry Nathan. She still wanted to use scandals to make Nathan despise her. With this in mind, Emily was no longer as panicked. She sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Amanda, for causing you trouble. I'll handle this." Amanda was worried, "How are you going to face so many reporters and paparazzi alone?" "I'm not a celebrity, I don't need to deal with paparazzi. I just need to make things difficult for those who harmed me." With that, Emily pushed open the car door and got out. As soon as the door opened a crack, a swarm of paparazzi rushed forward. Amanda was startled and tried to pull her back, "Emily, get back here!" "It's okay, Amanda," Emily stood on the ground, "I'll draw them away, you find a chance to leave." "But—" Emily seemed confident, giving Amanda a reassuring smile before striding toward the place where the photo was taken. Nathan and Sophia were supposed to take their wedding photos there in the afternoon. Sophia, you made things difficult for me, so let's see who comes out on top! All the cameras focused on her, but Emily didn't mind. She politely told a photographer in her way, "You can take pictures of me, but please step aside." "Ah?" The photographer was taken aback, "Oh, okay..."Emily walked forward with her head held high, ignoring the paparazzi's questions. This only made her more attractive to them, and they surrounded her, following her steps. The paparazzi around Lucas's car significantly decreased. Lucas was also worried, "Amanda, what do we do? Should we leave?" Amanda was unsure. Emily looked very confident, but it was her first time facing so many paparazzi. She was afraid Emily might not handle it well... While hesitating, her phone rang. Amanda, seeing a glimmer of hope, quickly answered, "Boss! You finally called back!" "Yes," Allen Parker responded softly, "Olivia wanted donuts, so I took her to buy some. What's the situation now?" Amanda quickly explained everything that happened to Allen Parker, "Boss, Emily is being stubborn. She got out of the car. What should we do? Please give us instructions." After listening, Allen Parker frowned slightly, "Is there another event at the park this afternoon?" "Yes, Nathan and his fiancée are taking wedding photos." Allen Parker chuckled, "You and Lucas should come back. Someone will help her. Emily won't suffer." "Who? A bodyguard?" Allen Parker said, "Emily's boyfried. He knows everything about her. He didn't stop her, which means he agrees with what she's doing. He's prepared and won't let her get hurt. So, don't worry, just come back." Amanda couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is Emily's boyfriend very powerful?" "How should I put it," Allen Parker thought for a moment, "Do you think I'm influential?" Amanda answered honestly, "You're one of the top ten most powerful tycoons in New York City." Allen Parker replied, "His power is ten thousand times greater than mine."
