The camera hit the ground with a loud crash.
The man, suddenly without his camera, barely had time to register who was before him when he turned white and yelled, âCrescent is assaulting people now!â
His outcry caused a stir among those present.
Mitchel, dressed in shiny black shoes, stepped on the shattered camera.
In a cold tone, he grabbed the man by the collar and tossed him to Matteo, saying, âHereâs a phony reporter who sneaked in.
Take him to the police.
â
The man froze for a second and protested, âI am a reporter, a legitimate one! Your claim doesnât make a difference!â
Matteo didnât hesitate to rip off the manâs jacket, exposing a tattoo of a gang on his arm.
The man tried to cover his shoulder, protesting, âWhy are you tearing my clothes? So youâre resorting to violence now!â
âs BunnyBookery Some started shouting, âTheyâre being violent! Look at them! Theyâre attacking people!â
Matteo, unfazed, swiftly located those aimed to cause chaos among the reporters and had the bodyguards subdue them.
Once their jackets stripped, the tattoos on their arms showcased they were just thugs pretending to be reporters.
The real reporters were shocked.
They had followed a lead from an industry group chat, expecting a scoop.
They hadnât expected to find imposters among them with hidden agendas.
Mitchel looked over the crowd with a sharp gaze.
His voice, cold and clear, broke the silence.
âWho sent you here?â
A deathly silence enveloped the area.
The real reporters knew Mitchel wasnât someone to mess with.
They stumbled over their words.
âMr.
Dixon, weâre sorry.
We had no idea.
We were just misled by the messages in the group chat.
â
Mitchelâs lips tightened.
âSince youâre here, you might as well get something to report.
â
âNo, no, no, weâre not reporting anything,â they quickly replied.
Mitchel let out a scoff.
âYou dare to spread fake news but are afraid to report the truth?â
They looked confused.
âThe baby Miss Glyn is expecting isnât mine,â Mitchel said with conviction.
Pausing, he turned to look at Raegan affectionately and gently took her hand.
âSheâs the only woman Iâve ever loved, in the past and now.
Got it?â
Mitchel then walked with Raegan into the studio, not glancing back.
Though the reporters didnât dare to snap a photo of the two, they could still spin a story about Mitchel, ever the workaholic CEO of the Dixon Group, openly declaring his love, which could cause a sensation.
After interrogating the imposters, Matteo learned nothing.
These guys had simply taken a gig online, clueless about the employer.
But figuring out who was behind this wasnât hard.
Judging from the questions directed at Raegan, it had to be Katie.
Matteo told his guys to hand the imposters over to the authorities.
