Chapter 240
In the pictures, Hanson's arm was wrapped around Angeline's waist, and they were walking into a hotel lobby.
She had his jacket draped over her shoulders. They appeared like the perfect family as they held Sebastian's hands.
It seemed like a heartwanning scene.
Although Evander did not say anything while looking at these pictures, it was evident he was furious.
He did not understand why Angeline was treating him like this. What am I to her?
Right after she kissed him at the hospital, she went to a hotel with Hanson. This even resulted in suggestive news
articles being published.
Does she really think I have no boundaries?
Sylas noticed his reaction and could not help but feel a shiver as cold sweat drenched his back.
Ms. Sorelle is pretty daring!
Although Evander might seem indifferent about women, tliat was because he did not care about them. On the
contrary, he was a very possessive man when he fell in love.
“Mr. Golding, someone poured paint on Ms. Sorelle. Since she is a celebrity, Mr. Yiurk must have done this to protect
her reputation,” Sylas explained in a trembling voice as he tried to calm Evander.
However, Evander was not listening to him at all. He grabbed the blazer that was hanging on the back of his chair
and walked out of the office.
“Help me find the address of the hotel they went to. Also, cancel any social events I have tonight!”
How could he remain calm when Angeline was in a hotel room with another man alone?
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Sebastian was asleep. Angeline could not bear to wake him up, so she could only stay a bit

Hanson did not seem to have any intention of leaving either. His head was lowered as he played with his phone.
Since he had paid for the room, Angeline did not have the heart to ask him to leave.
Hanson suddenly stopped scrolling through his phone. His brows were furrowed as he said angrily, “This ruthless
media! They really know how to make things up!”
“What happened?” Angeline asked nervously. She had a strong feeling that it was related to her.
Hanson shot her a complicated look before he passed her his phone. He responded apprehensively, “It's just
nonsense that the media wrote. I can help clear tilings up to the public if you need it.”
When Angeline's gaze fell on Hanson's phone screen, her expression changed drastically.
“This is outrageous!”
She thought she would be able to avoid such articles by escaping from Sorelle Group. However, she didn't expect
the media to follow after them.
Not just tliat, but the way they phrased the articles was truly unsightly and disgusting too!
Breaking news! Angeline has come between her sister and her husband! She's involved with her sister's husband!
Angeline was infuriated upon seeing it. She clenched the phone tightly as she trembled due to the anger.
Does the media really have no bottom line when it conies to garnering views?
At tliis moment, the phone in her pocket rang. When she saw it was Nancy, she already knew what the latter was
going to say.
She did not purposely avoid Hanson as she swiped the screen to answer the call in front of him.
“Nancy,” Angeline greeted first.
“Angie, I should thank you for accepting this call.”
Nancy's voice was grim. After a long silence, she asked calmly, “You should have seen those news articles on the
Internet by now. What do you plan to do?”
Upon hearing that, Angeline glanced at Hanson before saying, “We are going to each post a clarification post.”
“Of course, but that will not be enough to squash the news since the pictures are legitimate evidence. We will only
be able to suppress tire news if you provide more compelling evidence to divert the audience's attention,” Nancy
reminded them calmly.
She was usually laid-back and friendly, but when it came to important matters, she was anything but.
Angeline furrowed her brows, clearly troubled. She noticed Hanson had lowered his head. It seemed as though he
had no ideas either.
“Forget it. Since it has come to this, I will visit the public relations department back at the office and check whether
they are able to suppress the news.” Nancy, who had been swamped with work, said nervously, “With how things
are now, you guys shouldn't be seen together. Don't let the reporters get additional evidence.”
With tliat, she quickly hung up the call.
Angeline raised her head and glanced at the darkening sky outside the window. A storm was on its way.
She was slightly dazed as her mind was thrown into chaos. A surge of anxiety settled in her heart.
“Don't worry.”
Hanson headed to the couch to get a blanket. Then, he walked over to Angeline and placed it on her shoulders.
There was concern in his eyes.
“The public relations department in Yiurk Group will also take action to suppress this news.”

Warmth radiated from Angeline's heart. In reality, she never expected to meet Hanson again.
Unexpectedly, an incident made them cross paths with each other once more.
Perhaps, they could become good friends if they let go of their past resentment.
She raised her head, and a faint smile spread across her face.
Hanson was taken aback by her smile and stared at her unblinkingly.
At tliis moment, there was a loud thud, and tire hotel door was shoved open.
The noise startled Angeline, and she tinned to look at the door.
Evander was standing right by the door, exuding a cold aura. He was expressionless.
Angeline was surprised to see him.
What is he doing here?
At tliis moment, she also realized tliat she and Hanson were standing very close to each other.
She abruptly retreated to widen the distance between them. As she was about to explain, Evander started making
his way over to them.
Evander's gaze was cold. Before Angeline could say anything, he took off his blazer and put it on her.
“Put tliis on.”
His deep voice was authoritative. There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Hanson was shoved to the side when Evander walked over to them. The former's expression darkened at the
action.
Nevertheless, he still politely greeted Evander, “Mr. Golding, it's been a long time.”
“Yeah,” Evander responded indifferently. He had no intention of chit-chatting or being polite to Hanson.
Evander extended his hand to pull Angeline up from the couch and hugged her.
“Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?”
