Chapter 490
The Worldwide Hotel wasn’t too far from here, and Pearl was hoping to get there quickly. She prayed that nothing would happen to Esther and Hanzel.
When they arrived at the Worldwide Hotel, a bunch of reporters were rushing inside. Clearly, something important was going on, drawing their attention.
Pearl’s heart raced as she pushed through the crowd. Most of the people seemed to be heading to the fourth floor, so she anxiously made her way to Room 405.
In the chaos, she got separated from Richard and Mobius, and they lost sight of her.
Meanwhile, the door was ajar in Room 405, and Esther’s and Hanzel’s clothes were scattered on the floor. They were under the covers, suggesting something had happened between them.
Hanzel’s face was partly hidden, allowing some anonymity-whoever took him wanted to protect his privacy. Esther, on the other hand, wasn’t as lucky. Her face and part of her ch*st were exposed.
Both of them were unconscious right now, so it seemed like nothing had gone down between them.
Pearl quickly shoved a photographer out of the way and yelled, “Get out of here!”
Suddenly, a bunch of guys in black suits showed up like they’d been expecting this. They quickly dealt with the reporters, pushing them down.
After most reporters had been kicked out, Pearl nodded and said, “Give me your cameras. I’ll delete the photos myself.”
Some reporters got angry and said, “What’s the deal? I took those pics. Why should you delete them? You think you can boss us around just because you’re famous? That’s not right!”
They all wanted some juicy photos to boost their fame and income, so no one wanted to give up their cameras.
Pearl walked up to one guy and reached for his camera. “Give it to me.”
The man coldly snorted. “This is my camera. Don’t you dare take it away!”
“I’m not afraid to kick you so don’t think I won’t grab it.” Pearl grabbed the guy’s camera and shoved him a couple of meters away. If there was more space, she could’ve pushed him even farther.
Pearl, with her photography skills, easily deleted the photos with a few clicks. She frowned. when she saw some inappropriate photos of women taken without their consent. Thinking about the creepy photographer, she deleted those pictures too.
The man lay on the ground, watching Pearl delete the photos he had painstakingly taken. He was nearly breathless, unable to believe what had just happened.
Witnessing this, others were afraid of facing a similar fate. They lined up and deleted their photos willingly.
“Great! You all cooperated well,” Pearl said, satisfied with their obedience.
She had taken the necessary precautions, even if a few might have sl*pped through the cracks. The rest could only be left to fate.
“Alright, those who deleted their photos can go now. And don’t even think about trying to recover them. I own the whole photo restoration business in Hazelton. If anyone tries to sneakily restore the pics or post the un-deleted ones online, I’ll pay you a visit.”
She showed no mercy. Her unspoken warning made a big impression on everyone there.
Pearl released them after everyone nodded in agreement.
After the reporters left, Pearl looked at the men in black suits around her and frowned. What’s the matter with you guys? Why have you been following me?” She sensed their
presence through a sensor ring and called them out for help.
“Miss Pearl, Mister Damian told us to keep an eye on you around the clock.”
