Chapter 707 Don't Be Like This
Nicholas cast a cold, piercing glance at the reporter.
Felix Smith flinched but still puffed out his chest, relying on his status as a journalist, determined to dig up a scandal.
"Miss Clark, as a violinist, it's been heard that you had a chaotic private life with several gentlemen while you were abroad. Is this true?" Felix continued to ask fearlessly.
Caroline's expression changed slightly, and she sneered and retorted, "Where did you hear this from? Do you know that spreading rumors can have legal consequences?"
Felix said unfearfully, "I'm just uncovering the truth. If Miss Clark hasn't done these things, she can openly deny them."
Felix's implication was that Caroline's current evasive attitude was an admission of being a mistress and having a chaotic private life abroad.
Nicholas exuded a chilling aura and gave Sharpe a look.
Sharpe immediately moved to have the bodyguards throw Felix out.
However, Caroline stopped him.
Caroline gave Nicholas a reassuring look.
Today was the company's first product launch event, and there were more reporters than just Felix, even a live broadcast. Felix clearly wanted to embarrass her. If she didn't clarify and just had Felix thrown out, she would get the worst of it.
Moreover, it would have a negative impact on the company.
Under the table, Nicholas and Caroline interlocked their fingers.
Caroline boldly raised their clasped hands.
Caroline said, "Mr. Smith, today is the company's product launch event, and it shouldn't involve our private lives. But since you asked, I will answer you properly to prevent further rumors and trouble."
Felix's face changed slightly, but he stubbornly held up the microphone to Caroline.
"Sorry everyone, for taking up some time to address an unrelated matter." Caroline glanced at the crowd and seriously began, "Nicholas and I met and fell in love during college. We were separated for six years due to some circumstances. During those six years, I was abroad studying and developing my career, and I held many solo performances. During this time, I had no ambiguous interactions with any gentlemen. What Mr. Smith just said is pure slander, and I will reserve my right to pursue legal action."
"Furthermore, there is no mistress relationship between Nicholas and me..." Caroline's words were cut off by Nicholas, "Yes, from beginning to end, the one I love and care for has always been Caroline. So please, everyone, stop believing and spreading rumors."
Nicholas's tone carried a hint of intimidation as he spoke the last sentence.
Everyone present shivered, and someone quickly chimed in, "Mr. Watson and Miss Clark are a perfect match. We've long known about your love story and wish you both a long and happy life together."
"Yes, best wishes to Mr. Watson and Miss Clark."
"Mr. Smith, are you here to cause trouble? Mr. Watson and Daisy have long been over, and Mr. Watson has clarified this. How dare you ask such a question? Are you in cahoots with Daisy?"
"Exactly, Mr. Smith, your bias is too obvious."
Felix panicked. He was just trying to stir up trouble and attract attention.
A new product launch couldn't compete with the allure of a high-society love scandal.
Apart from Felix, no one dared to offend Nicholas. Moreover, Caroline and Nicholas's relationship was well-known. Felix, in his bid for attention, had dared to slander them.
Felix hung his head low hearing their words, and under immense pressure, he apologized to Caroline and Nicholas.
Felix apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Clark. I shouldn't have believed those rumors and questioned you without verification."
Caroline graciously said, "It's okay. Let's continue with the product launch."
Caroline thought in mind, 'Okay? How could it be okay?'
After the launch, Nicholas sued Felix's media company. The company, which was terrified of Nicholas, fired Felix overnight.
After this incident, Felix was blacklisted by all companies in the industry.
That was for later. Now, with the launch over, Caroline and Nicholas got into the car to return to the company.
Caroline let out a heavy sigh, "It's finally over."
Nicholas looked at her with a smile, brushing her hair behind her ear, "Sorry to make you suffer again," he said, his tone full of guilt.
Caroline shook her head, "I didn't suffer. You can't stop people from talking, but it's good to take this opportunity to clarify rumors."
"Caroline," Nicholas suddenly looked at her intensely.
"Yes?" Caroline's heart suddenly raced.
Caroline wondered, 'What is Nicholas up to?'
Nicholas wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her close, their faces almost touching.
Her heart pounded.
Nicholas, full of deep affection, said, "Will you forgive all my past mistakes and be with me again?"
They had never formally reconciled, but both had tacitly agreed to it.
He owed her a formal pursuit.
Caroline remembered Nicholas's first confession.
He was just like this, deeply affectionate and nervous, his hand tickling her waist.
Caroline wondered, 'Could he stop tickling me? Didn't he know it was ticklish?'
Caroline squirmed, "Don't do that."
Sharpe, driving in the front, had a change of expression, internally screaming, 'Should I jump out of the car to give Nicholas and Caroline some space?'
Nicholas quickly stopped tickling, his hand resting properly on her waist.
Caroline could feel the heat of his palm through her clothes.
Nicholas said, "You haven't answered me yet."
Caroline nodded, not speaking.
Nicholas was overjoyed and hugged Caroline tightly.
Nicholas said, "Caroline, I love you."
Caroline closed her eyes, savoring the moment of warmth.
Reporters posted photos of Caroline and Nicholas, showing Nicholas's doting gaze at Caroline, their interlocked fingers, and their deep, affectionate looks. Every photo revealed their love for each other.
Netizens commented: [The CEO's beautiful wife is a violinist.]
[I fully support this couple.]
[Hope Caroline enters the entertainment industry and joins Nicholas on a dating show.]
Online, Caroline and Nicholas received widespread support and admiration, but Caroline didn't care because Lisa was suddenly hospitalized with a high fever.
After receiving the call, they turned around and headed to the hospital.
In the hospital, Daisy knelt before Aragorn, tearfully repenting.
Daisy cried, "Mr. Watson, I really don't know how it turned out like this. I clearly entered Nicholas's room that day. You watched me grow up; you know my feelings for Nicholas."
Daisy continued, "I know my mother committed unforgivable crimes, but I'm innocent. Daniel is just angry now. Once he calms down, he will forgive me, and I will still be the lady of the Wolf family."
