Chapter 340 Extortion
Facing Evelyn's accusations, Robert Nord leaned back in his chair and looked at her disdainfully. "How I treat John is my own business. He is my son, and you don't need to interfere."
"It's you..." Robert glanced at Evelyn, then looked at the journalist who was filming on the side. "Journalist, she kidnapped my son. You must stand up for me on this matter."
The named journalist felt embarrassed. They just wanted to get a news story. When they heard Robert mention something about Evelyn, they naturally rushed to film it, as Evelyn was a well-known figure in Moris City lately.
However, seeing Evelyn's calm and composed expression, they couldn't help but feel that they shouldn't have gotten involved.
"Ms. Kyte, regarding this man's accusation that you kidnapped his son, do you have anything to say? Did you really kidnap his son?" The journalist asked with a brave face.
However, Evelyn was not polite and coldly glanced at her, asking, "Who are you? Are you a police officer? Let's not talk about whether I kidnapped his son or not, what can you do to me if I did?"
Being confronted like this by her, the journalist was at a loss for words.
There was nothing they could do. They were just trying to find a sensational news story, but they had no authority.
"I brought this person here because I wanted to expose you and let everyone know what kind of doctor you are!" Robert spoke up at this moment, helping the journalist out of the predicament.
It wasn't because he had a kind heart, but because he didn't want to see his carefully planned scheme fail.
However, when Evelyn heard him say that, she couldn't help but laugh. "You accuse me of kidnapping your son, yet instead of reporting it to the police, you bring a journalist here. What kind of thinking is this? Do you really want to find your son or do you want to extort money?"
Sometimes she couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, blood is thicker than water. Robert was just like John's stepmother, truly a disappointment.
It's a pity that John is trapped in such a situation.
At the mention of this, Evelyn felt that she should do something. If she let Robert continue like this, John would never be at peace.
With this in mind, she spoke up, "Since you keep accusing me of kidnapping your son, then I will call your son here and let him tell everyone whether I actually kidnapped him or not."
After saying that, Evelyn was about to make the phone call. Robert wanted to stop her, but seeing the onlookers, he ultimately didn't say anything.
That's good, at least we can find John.
While waiting for John to arrive, Evelyn looked at the journalist and said, "As a journalist, I believe you can truthfully report on this matter, right?"
"Of course," the journalist nodded repeatedly. Even though Evelyn was Dermot's ex-wife, what if she still had some relationship with Dermot? He couldn't afford to offend her.
Seeing him like this, Evelyn also felt that he didn't have the courage to report randomly.
That's good, resolving everything at once to prevent Robert from constantly bothering John.
Listening to Evelyn's words to the journalist, Robert sensed that something was amiss and became inexplicably uneasy.
He quietly approached Evelyn and whispered, "Actually, I didn't want to make a big fuss about this either. As long as John is safe when confirmed, I'll be relieved."
Evelyn glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"But you see, I'm not young anymore and can't work. Now even eating is a problem. Can you at least give me some money for meals? You're not short of money, after all," he said.
He had inquired about it. Evelyn was well-known at Moris Hospital and surely earned a lot. Giving him a few hundred thousand dollars wouldn't be a problem.
After all, he had also given his son. If he received the money, he could just stop looking for John in the future.
