Chapter 277 - What Are You Doing Here? (1/2)
Avaleigh looked at everyone awkwardly. She didn't know what to say. If she wanted to deny their accusations, she needed evidence or they wouldn't believe her. But, what evidence did she have?
At that moment, the fans outside the door began to complain:
”How shameless! I can't believe I idolized her for so long.”
”She should be kicked out of the group!”
”I refuse to watch the concert if she's appearing on stage!”
Mimi held back a laugh and looked helplessly at Sue, ”What do we do? Should Avaleigh go on temporary leave until she is proven innocent? We don't have time, the concert is tomorrow.”
Sue raised her hands, gesturing for everyone to hush, ”I can guarantee that my artist is innocent. As you know, it is tough for one manager to look after 7 people. That's why Avaleigh manages her own jobs overseas. She doesn't have any secret lovers nor has she been accepting money for other services, she has honestly been traveling back and forth for work. Please don't speak recklessly or we can sue you for defamation.”
At that moment, the reporter laughed, ”I knew you would deny this.”
He then pulled out a stack of photos, ”But look what I have here.”
The reporter quickly handed the photos around and everyone started discussing what they saw.
”How do you explain that Avaleigh and this man boarded the same plane in Beijing, got off in Hong Kong together, boarded the same train together, and got off at the same stop? There are even photos of them talking in the station and in the train. It obviously looks like they know each other,” the reporter said.
”I was in Beijing for a charity event before I came to Hong Kong. It was just a coincidence that this man was on the same plane. Also, the train that we caught only had one stop, so we had no choice but to get off together. That was the first time I ever met that man. I honestly didn't know him,” Avaleigh finally tried to explain.
”Are you sure?” the reporter asked.
He then pulled out his last weapon: a photo of Avaleigh at a charity event in Beijing, and standing right next to her - was Emerson!
Of course, Halia was dressed up as Mars next to him and Marissa was next to Halia, but this only looked like they were on a double date, rather than one man standing amongst three women. Worst of all, Emerson's suit and Avaleigh's dress was actually matching!
Avaleigh couldn't believe what she saw. She didn't even speak to Emerson that night, they just so happened to stand next to each other at that moment. They didn't even know of each other's existence at that point.
Avaleigh was speechless.
Meanwhile, some of the other reporters started whispering. ”Doesn't that man look familiar?”
