Chapter 1813: Chapter 1816: Face-Slapping on the Spot
"Evelyn, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid... I’m here, I won’t let you get hurt..."
Frank Chamberlain felt a deep ache in his heart upon seeing Evelyn Lucas like this.
He wrapped Evelyn Lucas in his overcoat, intending to carry her away, but the door was blocked by a crowd of media and guests.
"Mr. President, can you explain why the former first lady is here, entangled with these people?"
"Today is your wedding day, how can you justify your actions to the bride?"
Frank Chamberlain held Evelyn Lucas horizontally in his arms, letting her head rest against his chest.
Though he cared about power, he would risk everything for his beloved.
When he saw the woman he loved most being humiliated by those men, all thoughts of power and benefit were cast aside in that moment.
And now, as everything calmed down and he faced the media’s questioning and his family’s sorrowful eyes, he recalled his current predicament.
"I..." Frank Chamberlain gathered his words, not knowing how to begin.
"Frank, let me speak, I’ll explain..." Unlike other women who would only hide weakly behind him in the face of countless questioning, Evelyn Lucas spoke up.
She clung to Frank Chamberlain’s shoulder, barely covering her bruised body, recently ravaged by the men inside, with just an overcoat.
Just like this, nestled in Frank Chamberlain’s embrace, she shamelessly accepted the interview.
In this moment, Evelyn Lucas had regained her composure.
Revenge, she was determined for fierce revenge.
But the first thing to do was to handle the current situation.
"Distinguished guests, dear reporters, thank you for taking the time to attend Frank’s wedding today. I apologize for ruining the ceremony due to my own reasons, but in truth, I am the real victim. It is true that Frank and I are best friends, but I am also an intimate friend of the bride, Hannah Ford."
"Naturally, I would accompany her in the bride’s lounge on her wedding day. But I never expected that, originally commissioned by Lily Redington, the current lady of the Lucas family, to come and offer blessings and assist Hannah, her people would suddenly drug our drinks. Inside, the seven or eight bodyguards and myself were all victims of her scheme, drugged and knocked out by her."
"As everyone is aware, the Redington family is a prominent family in Europe, and they nearly waged war against Eastonia not long ago. The eldest daughter of the Redington family is always preparing to retaliate against the Presidential Palace, against Eastonia. The only thing I am fortunate about now is that the harmed person was not Hannah. If it were Hannah... I, I really wouldn’t know how to explain to Mr. President!"
Fortunately, when they were speaking on the sofa just now, their voices weren’t loud, and although the reporters outside captured footage of them together, they didn’t know what they were actually discussing.
Evelyn Lucas, with a few clever words, managed to change the public perception of the situation.
"Clap clap clap—" Unfortunately, three claps sounded crisply.
Mr. Lucas emerged, bringing people with him as he walked out from behind the crowd.
"Evelyn Lucas, your story is good," Mr. Lucas said after applauding, looking at her with an extremely cold gaze, "It’s just that, no matter how good the story, it still missed one point."
"The person my wife sent to accompany the bride is called Sadie. She, like my wife, is pregnant. You spoke so easily earlier, but I am very curious how an eight-months-pregnant woman about to give birth, managed to effortlessly drug you and eight strapping men?"
"You’re talking nonsense—" Evelyn Lucas retorted without a thought.
"There’s no way that woman is eight months pregnant, I saw her not long ago, and her stomach was still flat. Her stomach is definitely faked by you all!"
As soon as her words fell, a reporter rushed in from outside.
"The latest news from the ambulance, the pregnant woman who was just taken away could not be saved in time, and the child has already died on the way!"
