Chapter 393 - Hummingbird (1/2)

The next day, outside the Wus' apartment building, reporters from the biggest entertainment news sources were gathered. They didn't bother Avaleigh before, but now that they knew her boyfriend was the infamous Emerson Wu and she was pregnant with his child, they all wanted to latch onto the hot gossip.

So, the moment that Avaleigh walked out of the building, she was surrounded by cameras and microphones.

”Ava, how many months pregnant are you?”

”Ava, are you dating Emerson Wu because of his money?”

Avaleigh looked at them helplessly and didn't know what to say. Unless she had solid evidence in her hands, it only seemed like she was hiding something. So, she ignored them and tried to squeeze through. But, the reporters formed a solid wall in front of her.

At that moment, a voice called out behind her, ”Excuse me, a pregnant lady is coming through!”

Avaleigh turned around in surprise and saw Halia trying to get through the crowd. By this point, Halia was almost 8 months pregnant so her stomach was extremely obvious and no one dared to get in her way in case they hurt her. As Halia walked past Avaleigh, she hooked her arm around Avaleigh's arm and said, ”Help me to my car.”

The reporters moved to the side, clearing a path for the pregnant woman.

At that moment, ”Vroom!” A brand new Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the apartment building. The reporters looked in admiration at the expensive car, but they weren't completely surprised since the apartment building was one of the most expensive in Hong Kong.

But, they were taken by surprise when Avaleigh opened the car door for Halia...and Halia pulled her into the backseat as well! Before they managed to react, the car drove away.

”Hey, come back! We haven't finished with our questions!” one of the reporters screamed as she tried to chase after the car. However, her screams were futile.

Inside the car, Avaleigh looked at Halia in surprise before she glanced at Jackson who was sitting in the front seat and realized the couple had deliberately left the apartment separately to save her. She was stunned by what they had done. How did they know the reporters would be waiting and weren't they intimidated by them?

She wanted to question Halia, but before she managed to say anything Halia suddenly asked, ”Do you know someone called Natasha Gu?”

Avaleigh tilted her head in confusion. She thought about the name and nodded, ”Are you talking about the model, Natasha Gu?”

Halia nodded her head and continued, ”Did you offend her in any way?”

Avaleigh thought for a moment. ”We've never crossed paths,” she replied.

Halia glanced out the window indifferently but she understood and said with an underlying tone, ”Focus on your work. Don't worry about the media. I'm sure the truth will prevail.”

She then smiled and said, ”I am going to the hospital to get some checks done. Why don't you come with me and get a check-up? The best way to clear the rumors is with solid evidence. I'm sure, no evidence is better than a confirmation from a doctor.”

Avaleigh looked at Halia in surprise and nodded her head. It was indeed the quickest and easiest way to clear her name. ”But, I'm supposed to report to the agency today,” she said.

”Don't worry, I already spoke to Danson,” Halia said.
