Chapter 688
“That’s only a start. I’m suing you for your despicable behavior, you jackass.”
There wasn’t an ounce of fear on Alyssa’s face as she said coldly, “My grounds are that you humiliated and defamed my family with a story you made up without knowing the truth of the matter, and thus
insulted her character and reputation.
“Don’t think you can spew out whatever trash you want just because you’re a reporter. You really think you can live without seeing the consequences of your actions just because the poor people whom you
humiliated didn’t want to take you to court?
“Heh. I’m here to do them justice and show you and everyone else who means ill toward us just what
happens to those who distort the truth and slander the innocent!”
The reporters were stunned by Alyssa’s fierce bearing. She was the one who had initiated the first physical attack, yet her speech and demeanor was so bold….
It felt like there was no way they could hate her for her actions.
“Me? Distort the truth?” The reporter grinned madly.
“The kids may not know what happened on that stage those years ago, but that doesn’t mean I don’t! The internet may not have been as powerful as it is today, but my memory is still going strong!”
“Oh? Is your evidence strong as well?” Alyssa snapped back.
The reporter’s heart fell into his stomach, visibly deflating.
“What happened? You were talking so much earlier while slandering Lyla. Cat got your tongue?” Alyssa
gazed coldly at him.
“You’re an adult. That means you’ll take full responsibility for the statements you just made. Be sure to keep an eye out for a letter from KS Group’s legal team.”
That made the reporter jolt. He was now frightened.
Alyssa turned away, helping her family get into the car.
“You really don’t have to do this for me, Lyse… really…” Lyla-said weakly, tugging on Alyssa’s dress.
She was a painful sight to bear. Her eyes were rimmed red with unshed tears.
“What are you talking about, Lyla?” Alyssa gazed warmly at her, giving her the comfort she needed.
“I can’t just sit around and not come to your defense when you’re hurt. You’re my family. Mandy and
Colene may not be able to do anything, but I can. I’m still young, after all.”
All of a sudden, a shocked cry rang out from within the crowd of journalists.
“Lyla Nelson! You still dare show your face in public, you bitch? Go to F***ing hell!”
There was a loud roar, followed by a man running out from the crowd clad in a mask and cap.
He held a metal baton in his hand, raising it high to hit Lyla on the head.
“Watch out!” Tatiana shrieked, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.
Though the b*dyguards were well-trained, they were still a second too late to react to the man’s
calculated attack.
Alyssa, on the other hand, instantly gathered Lyla into her arms and turned her back to the aggressor.
“Lyse!” Mandy and Colene cried.
Alyssa’s eyes were scrunched tight, her heart pounding in anticipation of the tragedy that would befell her.
There was a sound as the bat hit someone.
“Argh!”
But the pain never came.
What did was someone’s familiar warmth and breathing in Alyssa’s hair, making her heart clench up
tightly.
Jasper … it was Jasper!
Alyssa slowly opened her reddened eyes, tears now welling inside them.
