Chapter 159

“Enough.”

Joel interrupted the officer.

“I know that it’s not easy for you either. Things have already happened and the damage caused is irreversible. I don’t blame you for that but...”

He paused and gave a sharp look at the officer. “You should thoroughly investigate who made the false report!”

Officer Lee was shocked.

In principle, this matter had not been a false report. After all, they did find something at the scene.

However, they had to find out who it belonged to.

He was just thinking this when he heard Joel’s voice.

“Since this doesn’t belong to Lucy Katz, it’s clearly someone else’s. Something like this won’t just appear out of nowhere. You’ll have to find out the source, right?”

Officer Lee nodded quickly. “Yes, rest assured about that, Young Master Foster. We’ll definitely get to the bottom of it.”

Joel nodded in satisfaction. “Can she leave now?”

“Of course, take care, Young Master Foster.”

Joel finally left with Lucy.

Sure enough, as he expected, reporters who had caught wind of the incident were blocking the intersection outside the police station.

Their car was parked outside, so they could not get there without passing through the media.

“Miss Katz, I heard that someone reported that you attended the banquet to hide drugs. Is that true?”

“Miss Katz, when did you start using drugs? How many years has it been?”

“Miss Katz, are you out now because your agency has vouched for you?”

“Miss Katz, I heard that your new play is about to start. How do you feel about this happening now?”

Countless flashes and microphones were shoved in her face. It was the first time Lucy had encountered something like this, so she was stunned and confused.

At this moment, a cold and deep voice sounded behind her.

“Who told you that Miss Katz was hiding drugs?”

Everyone froze.

When they saw that it was Joel Foster who had appeared, everyone instantly exploded.

The swarm of people rushed over.

“Young Master Foster, are you here to help bail out Miss Katz?”

“Young Master Foster, does that mean that the scandal about Miss Katz hiding drugs is true?”

Countless cameras immediately surrounded him.

Joel’s face was incredibly cold. “Leo!”

“Here!”

“Clear the path!”

“Yes!”

Two rows of bodyguards immediately came running and pushed the reporters to the sides.

Joel held Lucy and escorted her out.

“Young Master Foster! Please give us an explanation.”

“Young Master Foster, do you think the matter will be settled if you don’t say anything?”

Joel simply ignored them and slammed the car door shut after Lucy had entered.

He ordered the driver to take her away first before turning around to face the media reporters.

“First of all, no one said that Lucy Katz was taken away for hiding drugs. I don’t know where you all heard that from, but let me make myself clear.

“I’m not here to bail her out. The police have investigated and found that today’s incident has nothing to do with her. Someone was trying to frame her.

“If you don’t believe me, the station is right behind, so you can go ask them.

“Since this is all a misunderstanding, I don’t wish to see any kind of negative news about it from your reports.

“If I see any report that distorts the facts, that will be slander! Anning International will sue any media who damages the reputation of our artistes and we’ll never let it go easily. You can try if you don’t believe me!”

When he had finished, he turned to a bodyguard beside him and said loudly, “Albert, write down the names of all the media on the scene. Don’t miss out on a single one!”

“Yes sir!”

After Joel finished his speech, he got in the car and left.

The media were stunned by his words. After a while, someone came to take down their names individually.

They all turned white with fear.

“Who gave you the right to record our names? It’s against the rules for you to do that!”

“Rules? Hah!” Albert scoffed coldly. “In your line of work, do you still have rules? Something can be clearly white yet be called black by you anyway.

Don’t say the word “rules’ so freely. You’ll wear it out!”

Then, regardless of their resistance, he yanked their wallets out of their pockets.

He turned over the ID cards and took down the names.

A man trembled with rage.

“W-What do you mean by that? Are you threatening us with intimidation?”

“That’s right! We have no say if you want to take down our company’s name but why are you taking down our actual names?”

“Are you thinking of taking revenge?”

Albert laughed mockingly.

“Anning International is an upright enterprise. How would we do something like take revenge? We’re just noting down your names first. After all, with such big news, we’ll want to recognize your names if they show up on the news.”

The man immediately widened his eyes.

“Y-You still dare to say that you’re not thinking of revenge?! You’re blackmailing us!”

“Think whatever you want.”

Albert could not be bothered to talk to them and soon finished taking down all their names and turned to leave.

The reporters watched the motorcade leave and felt both anxious and angry.

However, they did not dare to do anything.

Everyone knew what kind of temperament Joel Foster had. Unlike Gideon Leith, he was the type of person who would take reckless risks if one had offended him.

If it were Gideon Leith, they could still consider the words “talking business”.

After all, their line of work was in entertainment media. How would they be willing if they did not expose such juicy news?

However, it just had to be Joel Foster!

This guy never played cards according to common sense. If he was really provoked, then he might do something to get revenge in private!

All the reporters were afraid to make a move at this thought.

In the end, they had to return to their own companies and report the situation to their superiors before making a decision.

At the same time, Joel sat in the car and called his PR department.

He ordered them to contact the heads of the major media outlets at the scene earlier and name-dropped Joel Foster to suppress the news.

Fortunately, although Lucy acted in “Hidden Valley: Ashley” and “Chasing Wind”, “Hidden River: Ashley” had been very popular on the Internet.

However, she was a newcomer and did not have the top-notch traffic first and second-tier artistes had.

Therefore, after a good discussion, the heads of the various media were willing to agree.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 158 Joel To The Rescue Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 After all, it was not a good deal to offend a business leader for the news of a little newcomer.

Furthermore, by letting go of this news today, it became a favor that Joel would have to return in the future.

Due to this, things were resolved quite smoothly.

After doing all this, Joel dialed Nell’s phone again.

At the time when Lucy was taken away, there were other people besides the media who had seen the incident.
