Chapter 808

Sharon pushed through the crowd and rushed to steady Thomas.

The reporters, upon seeing her, immediately softened their tone. After all, strength commanded respect

wherever it went.

“Sharon is here.”

“Sharon, Thomas is your assistant, isn’t he? Are you aware of the news about him this morning?”

“Sharon, word is that Thomas is a gigolo who preys on women’s emotions. You’d better be careful not to fall for his tricks.”

They didn’t swarm her as they had him. Instead, they almost seemed to offer well-meaning advice.

Sharon was a charity ambassador, the one who had defeated Harry, and soon she would be competing on behalf of the nation. None of them dared go too far in her presence.

Her demeanor remained polite and composed.

“Thomas was in a car accident just yesterday. He needs time to rest and recover in the hospital. As for those rumors… once he’s discharged, we’ll hold a press conference to give everyone a proper explanation.”

Now that Sharon had become a national idol, people were inclined to give her face.

“All right, since Sharon has spoken, we’ll let it go for now.”

“Sharon, good luck in the competition! You must defeat those foreigners and win honor for our country!”

For the sake of national pride, gossip was temporarily set aside.

But then, from somewhere in the crowd, a discordant voice cut through.

“Sharon, he’s just your assistant. Why defend him so fiercely? Unless… there’s something improper between the two of you?”

Sharon opened her mouth to reply, but before she could, Thomas, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

“You can insult me,” he said evenly, “but I will not allow you to slander Sharon. Spreading baseless accusations carries legal consequences.”

The crowd sneered. Nothing was more contemptible in their eyes than a man who lived off a woman.

One reporter said coldly, “Thomas, have you even seen the photos and videos circulating online? Pictures can be faked, but video doesn’t lie.”

Thomas didn’t bother to argue.

“You can say whatever you want about me and anyone else. But between Sharon and me, there is nothing improper. Please do not malign her reputation. Sharon has an upcoming concert and, soon after, an important competition. At a time like this, if you deliberately spread rumors about her, aren’t you trying to sabotage her performance?”

The moment those words fell, every eye turned on the reporter who had just spoken.

They might have had no shame when it came to gossip, but when national honor was at stake, they knew where to draw the line. If Sharon’s focus was shattered now and her performance truly suffered, it would only benefit those arrogant foreigners who had strutted for far too long.

That reporter’s face went stiff. His motives had been malicious-he had wanted to stir up trouble for Sharon -but he hadn’t expected this “pretty boy” to be so sharp.

He dared not press further and slunk away in defeat.

The rest of the reporters quickly dispersed.

Once the hall emptied, Sharon called over Xavier’s bodyguards to station themselves at the door and block all unauthorized visitors. Then she pulled out her phone, determined to see what had triggered this storm.

The more she scrolled, the tighter her brow furrowed.

Several wealthy women had come forward online, claiming that Thomas had deceived them—both emotionally and financially. They had even produced intimate photos with him, along with proof of enormous bank transfers.

The sums were staggering. The smallest transfer was two million; the largest, close to ten million.

And in their accounts, they insisted this wasn’t a sordid arrangement of mistress and patron, but a genuine

romance.

One of them declared, “Who pays someone they’re keeping that much money? I’ve been buried in my business for years. Everyone around me knows I’ve never had a boyfriend.”
