Chapter 215
“As the one in charge of Project Oasis, it’s reasonable for my wife to have dealings with Mr. Hunt in my place when I don’t have the time.”
One of the reporters continued pursuing the matter, holding his microphone up high. “If it’s purely work–related, why meet at a bar? In the middle of the night, no less!”
William smiled.
“My wife does have work–related engagements with Mr. Hunt, but as for the meet–up at the bar, we only see their backs in the photos. What if it’s one of Mr. Hunt’s many female associates?”
William had been staring at the photos on his way here, and realized that most of them showed either their side or back views.
In other words, Rachel’s face never appeared in the photos. No one could confirm who Tyler was with.
The reporters were rendered speechless.
They were indeed unable to confirm the identity of the woman in the photos. Although Tyler’s face was clear in them, the woman’s face was not captured.
Even if they saw Rachel in person, if she couldn’t be identified from the photos they took, they had no grounds to insist that she was the woman with Tyler that night.
The reporters exchanged looks, racking their brains for an answer to William’s question.
Tyler stubbed out his cigarette in the tray and stood up. He walked toward the reporters and threw them a cold glance.
“It’s clear how interested you reporters are in my private affairs. Shall I make an announcement the next time I kiss one of my female associates, so you can find the best angle for a photo? Or do all of you really have nothing better to report on? Shall I hike up the unemployment rate a little? That might give you a chance to find something to do.”
Tyler was not one to mince his words, no matter who the other party was.
He couldn’t be bothered to explain himself to anyone.
His tone was lazy and lethargic, but those who knew him well would hear the warning in his words.
The reporters didn’t dare say a word further and started to disperse with their tails between their legs.
William’s eyes narrowed with indignation. Tyler’s casual threat was more effective than his long–drawn explanation.
Tyler stuck his hands in his pockets and strode leisurely toward William, throwing a look of disdain at William as he walked past the latter.
“William, how could you make up that stuff you did earlier without batting an eyelid?”
One of his many female associates? What a joke!
William clenched his fists. “Can’t you just keep your distance from her?”
Tyler stopped in his tracks and shot back, “Can’t you keep your distance from Samantha?”
His words rendered William speechless, as though he had stuffed a sock down William’s throat. William opened his mouth, but the dull, suffocating ache in his chest made him unable to speak.
Rachel and Xavier snuck out through the back door. Although reparters were crowding around the back door, they were all waiting expectantly for Tyler.
She looked down and hid behind Xavier, successfully escaping from the reporters‘ gazes.
When they finally reached somewhere safe, Rachel took off the nurse uniform and thanked Xavier before leaving.

“Dr. Jenkins, thank you so much for your help. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to leave so easily.”
Navier waved his hand. “Don’t mention it, I’m doing this for Tyler. He asked me to bring you to a safe place and will join us later.
