Queenie's incessant wailing was ear-piercing.
Reporters were waiting in ambush on the shore.
As soon as they heard her raucous cries, those reporters who were anticipating a breaking news story
all turned their cameras toward her direction.
It was dark, and the reporters were quite far from where they were located.
The lighting was insufficient, and the distance wasn't favorable.
Although the photos and videos were blurry, the audio was clear and audible.
Alice held the phone and played the video for everyone to see.
The moment they heard the recorded conversation, the reporters at the beach figured out what was
going on right away.
A mob of reporters swarmed Sean as he descended from the yacht with Queenie in his arms.
Queenie risked her life by jumping off the yacht on such an icy-cold day.
After being pulled out of the water, she shivered due to the freezing temperature despite being in
Sean's arms.
The spiteful look in Katherine's eyes as they walked past her made Queenie cower in trepidation.
She couldn't raise her head due to shame.
She had made a solemn vow to frame and to humiliate Katherine, yet she ended up groveling in Sean's
arms.
It had not been easy for the paparazzi to uncover rumors or scandals in the middle of winter.
Notwithstanding the cold, they stuck around the shore for an entire night in the hopes of catching some
drama at the Silverlight Entertainment annual meeting.
It had been difficult to obtain crucial evidence, so no one was willing to give up such an opportunity.
Central Ring belonged to the Lewis family.
It was safe to say that the nation's entertainment industry was split into two.
As a member of the Lewis family, Sean exuded an icy demeanor while he scolded the surrounding
crowd.
His ferocious look effectively dispersed the reporters who initially flocked the area.
They didn't dare to obstruct the two as they left the yacht.
After they escaped the pack of reporters, Sean brought Queenie into the car.
He found a blanket from the back seat and glumly tossed it to her.
"Wipe yourself dry!" he ordered.
Queenie cried as soon as she got in the car.
Sean was vexed by her incessant crying.
He yelled in irritation, "Shut up, Queenie! If you annoy me further, I will throw you out of the car and let
the paparazzi hound you!"
Queenie trembled in fear and secretly cast a sidelong glance at Sean.
She tried to suppress her cries upon seeing the grim look on his face.
She was utterly humiliated tonight.
If she were thrown out of the car, it would bring shame to herself and the entire Johnston family.
Since Sean had already brought Queenie out of the crowd, Katherine did not want to stick around
anymore.
She turned and briefly looked at Alice as she said, "I'm going back"
"The night is young.Why are you leaving so soon?" Alice asked in dismay.
Katherine glanced at the crowd of reporters who were hungry for gossip and stubbornly gave an
excuse, "I'm sleepy"
The corner of Alice's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Alright, then I'll walk you to the car”
"Don't bother.You might get into trouble with the bunch of paparazzi outside."
"It's all Queenie's fault!"
Alice grumbled in annoyance.
Katherine just raised an eyebrow and smiled in return.
"I'm leaving."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and turned to leave.
"What happened three years ago? Was it the night of Mr.Johnston's birthday?"
Zack, who had been keeping an eye on Katherine, suddenly asked.
Katherine had only taken a few steps and was startled to find that he had followed her.
Katherine glanced at him but did not answer his question.
Instead, she retorted, "There are reporters and paparazzi all over the place.I don't want tomorrow's
news to be full of rumors about the two of us.”
In acknowledgment, Zack stopped and took two steps back.
"Three years ago, was it Queenie who pushed you into the water?"
Katherine was pleased that he had finally discovered the truth of what had happened.
However, she didn't appreciate him bringing up the past.
But since he asked, she had no intention of concealing it.
She had never been the type to suffer in silence.
"Yes, but to be more accurate, it was your sister and Miss Johnston who pushed me into the swimming
pool together"
She wouldn't have let the matter go had it not been for her deep affection for Zack.
Unfortunately, Zack did not care how much she had suffered despite her efforts and tolerance.
That night, she had appeared in front of him drenched in water, yet he had only given her an indifferent
look.
Now that she thought about it, she realized how insensitive he had been.
Her response came as a Surprise to Zack.
That year, they had been married for less than a year.
Mr.Johnston was celebrating his birthday.
Because of his good relationship with Sean, his aunt, Beatrice, asked Sean to send him an invitation.
He couldn't afford to decline.
He had no plans of bringing Katherine to the party, but Chloe made up a story and brought Katherine to
the event.
At that time, he assumed that Katherine intentionally attended the event just to seduce him, which was
why he felt disgusted when he saw her at the birthday party.
