Chapter 862
After listening to Sebastian's words, Brad stood in silence for a moment. After a
while, he looked up and asked, "How badly is she hurt?" It was obvious who he
was referring to.
Sebastian exhaled a cloud of smoke and turned his head to look at Brad. "You
saw for yourself, didn't you? It's nothing serious. Even if you wanted to press
charges against those reporters, it'd be pointless. They're just minor scratches,
not enough for any charges."
Although Sebastian had a certain level of influence in Janctera City, it would still
be a challenge for him to confront those unscrupulous reporters. For starters, her
injuries were superficial-hardly worth mentioning.
In cases like this, as long as the culprit was willing to apologize and offer some
compensation, the matter would be typically resolved. Besides, with so many
people involved, it was impossible to identify who had actually hurt Nadine.
After all, the law did not punish the masses. With so many people involved, it was
hard to determine who was truly at fault. Hence, Sebastian could not seek the
justice he wanted.
Initially, he'd planned to ask Adam for help. But now that Brad had taken the
initiative to look into the matter himself, it was clear that the latter cared more than
he let on. In that case, Brad could take over from there.
Brad grunted, and after a moment of silence, said, "Thank you." He genuinely felt
grateful. If Sebastian hadn't stepped in when he did, who knows what would've
happened to Nadine?
Sebastian snorted, rolling his eyes at him. "I don't need you to thank me. This has
nothing to do with you. I didn't step in for your sake!
"Nadine's probably going to wake up soon, so I'm heading back to her room to
take care of her. As for those who hurt her, I'll have my assistant compile a list and
send it to you later. I hope this is the last time I have to clean up after you."
He paused before adding, "Oh, and if it wasn't clear enough, you don't need to
thank me-I did it for Nadine!" Ignoring Brad's hardened expression, Sebastian
waved at him dismissively and walked away.
Brad stood at the end of the corridor,
his thoughts swirling as he gazed at
the blazing sunset on the horizon.
The attacks against Nadine had
been relentless, yet few ever went
after him. He couldn't understand
why.
He unlocked his phone and scrolled through the comments again, noticing a
troubling pattern-most of the negative remarks were copy-pasted. His eyes went
wide, and he immediately called Cameron.
"Find out who's behind these rumors online! I don't want a single one of them to
get away with this!"
...
By the time Nadine woke up, it was
completely dark outside. She wasn't
sure how long she'd been asleep, but
it felt like an eternity had passed.
When she opened her eyes, the
room was shrouded in darkness.
The lights were turned off, and she
couldn't see a thing.
The light from a streetlamp outside
filtered in through the window,
casting a dim light on the floor of the
room. She noticed someone
slumped beside her bed, their face
obscured in the shadows. Judging
by their short hair, it was a man.
Remembering that it was Sebastian who had brought her to the hospital, she
instinctively called out, "Mr. Caldwell, is that you? Are you awake? Why aren't the
lights on? It's so dark in here-I can't see a thing."noveldrama
As soon as her words fell, the lights in the room flickered on, instantly brightening
the space. The person sitting beside her bed wasn't Sebastian at all-it was Brad.
