Chapter 238 His Body, Overwhelmingly Approaching
Daniel saw her serious expression and came over to comfort her, "Don't worry. Eric has been monitoring the online situation the whole time. It's already under control, and the police have also taken action, blocking a large number of these false posts and rumors.
I've also instructed the PR department to handle this matter. It absolutely won't affect any of tonight's banquet guests.
And it seems that some netizens are voluntarily helping to clarify things for Medica Vitae Sect, listing quite a bit of evidence."
Beatrix and Joseph also came over.
Beatrix said with some surprise, "I've also learned about the online situation. The blocking speed is really fast. Someone important must have stepped in.
Otherwise, tonight's incident would definitely have blown up big time."
"Someone important?" Olivia looked puzzled.
Joseph said, "Yeah, I just asked around. The police station is already preparing to arrest that reporter and is currently tracking their location.
The speed and efficiency of this handling is truly impressive!"
Beatrix nodded, "Related search terms online have also been blocked, and related videos are gradually being taken down, including the reposted ones."
After hearing this, Evelyn asked with some surprise, "Who is this? With such capabilities, could it be Nathan and them?"
Joseph shook his head, "No, they were both photographed tonight. It's not appropriate for them to take action at this time. It's best they do nothing, otherwise it would really give people something to use against them."
"Then..." Evelyn wanted to ask more, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a certain important person.
She quietly leaned close to Olivia's ear and whispered, "Could it be Mr. Hamilton?"
Joseph had obviously thought of this person too.
He'd heard that this person was quite close to Olivia.
If he stepped in, it wouldn't be surprising.
Only he would have such capabilities!
With Evelyn's reminder, Olivia also thought of this possibility. Just then, her phone rang.
It was a message from Andrew: [Enjoy your birthday, don't worry about the rest.
Those who caused trouble and spread rumors will all be punished, and evidence will be secured. However, this matter is a bit suspicious. I've already instructed people to investigate thoroughly. There should be results later tonight. Don't worry.]
Seeing this message, Olivia's suspicion was confirmed.
Her feelings were mixed.
She hadn't expected that when a crisis occurred, someone would solve the problem for her before she even knew about it.
It really was him.
This person's presence always made her feel secure!
Olivia felt warmth in her chest. Her previously unsettled emotions seemed to have found an anchor.
She also gained strength and comforted Vaughn and Victoria beside her, "Mr. McCoy, Dad, Mom, please help me entertain the guests. I need to make a phone call.
Regarding the online situation, you don't need to worry. We've done nothing wrong, so we don't need to fear their suspicions."
Although Rodolfo and Vaughn were very worried, seeing both Beatrix and Olivia say this, they believed this matter would definitely be resolved smoothly.
So they nodded, "Alright, you go ahead. We'll take care of things here."
Olivia nodded, then said to Evelyn, "Evelyn, please help me keep an eye on Bianca."
Evelyn nodded, telling her to go ahead without worry.
Soon, Olivia went outside to call Andrew.
Andrew answered quickly. Before he could speak, he heard Olivia ask, "Mr. Hamilton, where are you?"
Hearing her voice, Andrew replied warmly, "I'm at the hotel entrance, in the car."
Hearing this, Olivia's eyes widened slightly.
She really hadn't expected Andrew to have come.
She couldn't describe what she was feeling at this moment. She immediately said anxiously, "Wait for me!"
Then she hurriedly lifted her dress hem and ran downstairs.
The call was still connected. Andrew heard her footsteps and caringly reminded her, "Take your time, don't run. I'm not in a hurry to leave."
Olivia heard him but didn't really take it in. She had already reached downstairs.
From a distance, she saw Andrew's car. David had opened the car door in advance, waiting for her.
Without thinking, Olivia got in.
The man was indeed sitting in the back seat, his posture casual and relaxed, and the noble air about him made it impossible to look away.
Olivia was momentarily dazed, then asked, "Mr. Hamilton, since you came, why didn't you come upstairs?"
If she hadn't made this call, she might never have known he had come to her birthday party.
Andrew said, "There are too many people. I don't like crowded places. I was planning to have you come down after it ended."
Olivia understood what he meant.
Just like before, even when he arrived, he would just show his face and leave.
She nodded, finally remembering the purpose of her call.
She said gratefully, "Thank you so much for what you did online. If you hadn't reacted quickly and controlled the situation in time, who knows what would have happened."
Andrew nodded and told her, "This incident was too big and the nature too serious. There were too many people inside tonight, so I didn't tell you first and took action to suppress it in advance."
Olivia also nodded, "Indeed, this matter involves too many people.
However, the other party's main target seems to be me or Mr. McCoy, since we're the main characters today. Have you found anything else?"
Andrew looked at her appreciatively. This little head of hers reacted quite quickly.
He said, "David found that there were a large number of paid trolls in tonight's livestream, fanning the flames. We just got some leads. Part of it was the reporter's doing, and another part was rumor-mongering organized by several troll companies.
I've already notified the relevant departments to investigate. If nothing unexpected happens, we should have results by tonight at the latest."
Olivia couldn't help but frown, "So there are other forces behind this?"
Andrew said, "Obviously. Don't underestimate a reporter. In their daily work, they may lack principles, but they shouldn't lack the necessary sharp instincts.
Tonight's banquet guests are all important people. One wrong move could mean total ruin.
But they still took the risk to livestream, so there must be other reasons.
I have two guesses: either they received huge benefits, or someone fed them some information that convinced them tonight was a money transaction event, so they decided to take the gamble!"
Olivia's expression was very unpleasant, "If that's true, this person is truly malicious!"
Andrew didn't deny this assessment. The other party's methods were indeed underhanded.
And they chose Olivia's birthday, such a happy occasion.
Right now, the person who should be happy was full of anger, her beautiful eyebrows almost twisted into knots.
Andrew felt such troubles shouldn't appear on her face.
He watched for a while, then suddenly reached out and rubbed her brow with his fingertip.
Olivia's tense expression immediately couldn't hold up. She came back to her senses and looked at him in surprise, "Mr. Hamilton?"
Andrew said gently, "How can you spend your birthday frowning? You should be happy, and...
Do you believe that right now, the person behind this is more panicked than you?
After all, they've now offended everyone in the banquet hall.
Not to mention Joseph and Nathan, who both have distinguished service records and are known for their integrity.
And the others, those entrepreneurs, each one is famous and has contributed to society.
If the person behind this dares to smear them, you may not know what consequences they'll face, but I can tell you—prison is inevitable!
None of those people inside have ever been schemed against like this. They definitely won't let the culprit escape!
This matter might not even need you to take action, so you should relax and go back to enjoy your birthday."
Listening to his words, Olivia felt they made some sense.
She had been too shocked and angry just now, losing her rationality for a moment.
Now that Andrew reminded her, she realized she might have panicked too much.
She nodded and said obediently, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing her brow finally relax and her obedient, cooperative manner, Andrew couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Figured it out? Then go back."
But Olivia didn't move.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked at Andrew and asked, "Mr. Hamilton, are you really not coming up?"
Although she knew he didn't like crowds, she still hoped he could be present at her birthday.
This feeling came naturally, from the heart.
Andrew looked up casually, "I won't go up..."
He had no interest in dealing with those people—annoying and tiring.
Hearing his answer, Olivia's expression showed some disappointment. She lowered her eyes, trying to hide that trace of letdown.
But after two seconds, she heard the man speak again.
Andrew said softly, "Go back first. When the banquet ends, you can come find me. We can find another place to celebrate your birthday then. How about that?"
Hearing this, Olivia looked up at Andrew in surprise, "Where would we go?"
But Andrew kept it mysterious, saying, "That... you'll know when the time comes. For now, go upstairs. Don't keep the guests waiting."
As he finished speaking, he leaned forward and opened the door for her.
The moment he suddenly leaned close, his tall body seemed to tilt down toward her.
The faint cool fragrance from his body entered her nose. Olivia held her breath, feeling like her heartbeat skipped several beats.
It was as if, in that instant, she was completely surrounded by him.
Her body tensed up.
Andrew seemed to notice, his gaze sweeping past lightly.
He saw her reddening ear tips and the blush rapidly spreading.
In just a few seconds, the car door opened and he sat back in his original position.
"Mr. Hamilton, then... see... see you!" Olivia stammered and, as if escaping, quickly got out of the car.
Her whole face was red!
