Chapter 118

Lemira didn't answer the question, instead, she turned around and walked toward the grand hall, her steps unwavering and determined. Throughout the whole ordeal, she never once glanced back at Alaric or Lucian, as if they were strangers. Left standing there, Alaric was soon swarmed by reporters. His patience wearing thin, he burst out, "Enough with the damn questions, what's it to you guys?"

Evelina, watching from the sidelines, couldn't hide her jealousy. She had never guessed Lemira was that streamer!

Especially considering Lemira had gained hundreds of thousands of followers in such a short time, far surpassing her own count. Evelina couldn't help feeling a pang of jealousy. Why should Lemira succeed just by playing the mysterious card, when she herself had worked so hard?

Lucian, however, remained cool as a cucumber. He pulled Alaric aside, his voice laced with a warning, "Enough, do you want to make this even more of a spectacle?"

Alaric turned away, wiping the corner of his eye, saying nothing in return.

Facing the press, Lucian declared, "We'll handle it. Please refrain from speculative reporting. We will issue an official statement soon."

After making his statement, Lucian briskly escorted Alaric into the venue, making it clear that any further inquiries should be kept away from the press.
