Chapter 43

Katie Adams replied to Sister Hu, “But I can’t go back now. I refuse to accept this! Sister Hu, please stop trying to persuade me!”

Once Katie Adams has made up her mind to go all out, she won’t easily change her mind.

Next, the real show is about to begin.

Just as Katie Adams had made up her mind to fight hard, Simone Milton, who was with Nick Arthur in the hospital, getting his wounds dressed, finally learned of the situation after receiving a series of calls from Georgia.

“…Everything said online is nonsense. Besides, Alberta Arthur wasn’t the only one who saved me. My husband, Mr. Arthur, also blocked the knife from hitting me… Yes, right now I’m helping Mr. Arthur bandage his wounds!”

Simone Milton briefly explained the previous situation, hoping to clear up any misunderstandings in Georgia’s mind.

The misunderstanding caused by Georgia’s question has been resolved, but public opinion online continues to ferment.

“That way, you and your husband can take a photo and post it online to clarify the situation. Right now, there’s a lot of chaos on the internet. If you don’t clarify things promptly, it won’t be good for your reputation!” Georgia advised Simone Milton.

Hearing this, Simone Milton agreed. After hanging up the phone, she turned her gaze toward Nick Arthur, whose wound had already been bandaged.

“Mr. Arthur… um… there are false rumors circulating online, portraying me and Alberta Arthur as horrible people. So, I wanted to…” Simone Milton stammered, unsure whether Nick Arthur would be willing to help her set the record straight.

Nick Arthur, who was sitting in the chair, heard Simone Milton say that, and gestured for her to hand him her phone.

He scrolled through Weibo with his fingers. Soon, he saw the trending topics on Weibo.

“This video is completely unacceptable. They actually cut me out of it…” Nick Arthur commented with a cold expression.

Simone Milton wanted to say that now really wasn’t the right time to talk about that.

The next second, Simone Milton heard Nick Arthur say seriously, “Come here for a moment.”

Simone Milton was puzzled, but she still leaned in. In the next moment, Nick Arthur leaned close to Simone Milton’s face and kissed her.

In the moment when Simone Milton was distracted, Nick Arthur first gave the driver standing nearby a look, then, acting innocently, leaned his shoulder against Simone Milton’s.

The driver beside him completely understood Nick Arthur’s idea. He quickly took out Nick Arthur’s phone to take a photo, then handed the phone back to Nick Arthur with respect.

“Now, you can use this photo to expose those people’s true faces!” Nick Arthur turned his head away and spoke in a deliberately indifferent tone, once the photo was taken.

A little confused, Simone Milton immediately understood why Nick Arthur had suddenly acted in such an intimate manner after hearing what he said.

This made all her previous romantic thoughts vanish completely.

While she felt a bit disappointed, she couldn’t help but be happy that Nick Arthur was willing to cooperate.

She saved this photo on her phone. Simone Milton quickly posted it on Weibo, along with a caption.

[Simone Milton V: Today was truly dangerous, but at least you’re here with me! @NickArthur [Image] [Image]]

Such a short Weibo post instantly caused a huge stir, leaving those who genuinely insulted Simone Milton completely confused.

[Da Cheng Dudu: Who can tell me what’s actually going on? What’s Simone Milton doing? Is she trying to show off her relationship with someone?]

[Gu-gu-gu: Surely yesterday wasn’t just an act, was it?]

[Xiao Mi: It doesn’t seem likely. And have you noticed that Arthur’s hand was also injured? Could it be that Arthur was also at the scene at that time?]

Such remarks became more and more common over time.

Although there are still people who believe, without question, that Simone Milton cheated, the number of such people isn’t as large as before.

At the same time, Nick Arthur asked the driver with him to create a Weibo post on his behalf.

The content roughly describes what happened, along with teasing questions like why there’s no footage of him bravely blocking the blade in the video.

Nick Arthur’s clarifying remarks perfectly portrayed the image of a jealous “jealous king,” causing the onlookers to burst into laughter.

[Little Chen: I never thought that Arthur would be so jealous. He’s so cute!]

[Gugugu: Awwsl, how can my Arthur be so cute? Those who wish harm upon my Arthur and Simone Milton are simply horrible!]

Beyond such comments, many netizens were amazed that Nick Arthur was also present at the scene and immediately protected Simone Milton.

The reason Alberta Arthur went to save Simone Milton was out of consideration for Nick Arthur. It had nothing to do with the rumors that the two of them had an affair.

For a time, everyone felt utter disgust toward the media outlets and official accounts that spread such rumors.

The impact of this incident seems to have faded away, but there are still some minor issues that need to be addressed later on.

Most obviously, after seeing Simone Milton’s clarification post online, some media outlets suddenly decided to interview Alberta Arthur again.

This section of the media is absolutely convinced that there must be something between Simone Milton and Alberta Arthur, which is why they’re so persistent about it.

Caught off guard, Alberta Arthur was caught by reporters.

Finally, a reporter managed to get in touch with Alberta Arthur. The reporter immediately began questioning Alberta Arthur about his views on the clarifications provided online by Simone Milton and Nick Arthur.

After a slight delay, and perhaps due to some psychological reasons, Alberta Arthur failed to issue a clarification in a timely manner. Upon hearing the reporter’s persistent questions, she was somewhat confused.

When he heard the journalist detail how Nick Arthur and Simone Milton tried to clarify things online, he frowned deeply.

Without a doubt, he didn’t choose to clarify things right away in order to establish a connection with Simone Milton.

Although I knew all along, Simone Milton would definitely try to clarify the matter once she found out.

But for Alberta Arthur right now, it’s already good enough that such rumors continue to circulate for a while longer.

That was his little luxury.

It was uncomfortable for him when both Simone Milton and Nick Arthur insisted that he had saved Simone Milton only out of consideration for Nick Arthur.

At the same time, he knew he had to agree to it, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Alberta Arthur gave a detached smile and said, “That’s right. I only went to save her out of respect for my uncle. So all those rumors online are completely untrue.”

Remembering these words, still unwilling to give up, I immediately pressed further:

“But your expression at that time didn’t seem to match what you said. You seemed very anxious. What explanation do you have for that?”

Remembering this, I couldn’t help but get angry inwardly: Come on, if really nothing was wrong, why would Alberta Arthur need to be in such a hurry?
