Chapter 1011

Eventually, Sumner’s car pulled up in front of the venue.

Spotting the crowd of reporters outside, Lindsey glanced back at Sumner, who was seated in the back.

“Sumner, I’ll draw the reporters away.

Let Nancy escort you through the side entrance.”

“Don’t bother.

I’ll enter through the front door,” Sumner responded calmly.

“But…” Lindsey glanced at Sumner’s legs with a slight hesitation.

Sumner gently smiled and said, “That’s precisely why I cannot hide.”

Reassured by his composure, Lindsey nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”

She then turned to Nancy and said, “Let’s go!”

The pair opened the car doors simultaneously, one on each side.

The assistant retrieved a wheelchair from the trunk and placed it before the car door.

Assisted by Lindsey and Nancy, Sumner made his way out of the car and into the wheelchair.

The scene did not go unnoticed; reporters captured every moment.

As Lindsey pushed the wheelchair, they were swarmed by the press.

Several microphones were passed to them, one after another.

“Sumner, how is your recovery going since the leg injury? Are you feeling confident about this competition?”

“WiLL you need to use a wheelchair during the competition? Do you plan to pursue a career in singing?”

“Within the fiercely competitive world of entertainment, what are the company’s plans for his future? If he doesn’t win this competition, will the company still support him?”

The reporters seemed indifferent to Sumner’s emotions, posing particularly pointed questions.

Lindsey was not pleased, yet she maintained a calm smile and was ready to address the questions from the reporters.

However, Sumner reached out and took a microphone from one of the reporters.

Other reporters crowded around, eager to capture Sumner’s words on their microphones.

“Sumner…” Lindsey’s concern reflected in her eyes.

Sumner gave Lindsey a subtle shake of his head before turning his attention to the reporters with a gentle smile.

His voice remained soft and soothing as ever.

“I’m confident in this competition because I believe that people with conviction won’t let difficulties bring them down.

Even though I can’t walk now, I know that one day, I’ll stand on stage again.

And my agent, Ms.

Stewart, never once thought of giving up on me.

She’s been a constant source of encouragement during my hospital stay.

While other companies might sideline an artist due to physical issues, Lindnita Artists Agency, and especially Lindsey, have stood by me.

She’s the best agent.”

His words praised Lindnita Artists Agency and Lindsey, crafting a smooth piece of publicity.

A reporter inquired, “Where’s Xiomara? Is she avoiding you because of your injury?”

The question painted Xiomara in a questionable light, implying a Lack of warmth.

Before Lindsey could respond, Sumner intervened smoothly.

“Xiomara will be here soon.

We’re good friends; there’s no need for unfounded assumptions.”

With a wink from Sumner, Lindsey turned to Nancy, who deftly navigated through the crowd, trying to create a path for them amidst the persistent reporters.
