They split into two groups: Cole and Alessia headed to A&C
Entertainment, while Queenie and the others made their way to the exhibition hall.
No matter how chaotic the world outside became, none of them let it shake their composure. Each focused on
what needed to be done, sticking to the plan.
Cole drove Alessia to A&C Entertainment. The parking lot entrance was swarmed with reporters, though none
could get past the gate without access cards. The moment they spotted the car, the press surged forward, nearly
throwing themselves at the vehicle. Fortunately, the windows were tinted for privacy, so no one could see inside.
Seeing the commotion, security rushed in to clear a path, holding the crowd at bay and giving Cole and Alessia
sspace.
Cole didn’t move to get out right away. Instead, he pulled out a face mask and gently helped Alessia put it on..
Alessia didn’t say a word. Her eyes were bright and clear, a soft smile dancing in them as she watched Cole.
“Let's go,” he said quietly. Mask in place, he pressed a light kiss to her lips, then pulled a hat from the back seat
and placed it on her head.
She nodded, and together they stepped out of the car, both masked.
The reporters, seeing them emerge, immediately broke through the line of security, cameras flashing furiously.
The barrage of questions and the oppressive crowd made it impossible not to frown.
“Are you here to address the latest rumors?”
“Is it true you lived with Tristan when you were underage?”
“There are claims you've been supporting Tristan financially and seeing more than one person at a time. Any
comment?”

“What's your response to the rumors about your fiancée Alessia and superstar Tristan?”
One question after another was hurled at them, microphones shoved almost into their faces. Cole and Alessia,
fingers tightly interlaced, walked steadily through the onslaught, guided by security toward the
elevators.
Cole swiped his key card. The elevator doors slid open promptly.
They stepped inside quickly. Only when the doors closed behind them did the world fall blessedly silent.
It wasn’t that they refused to respond. They both knew the reporters didn’t really care about the truth. You gave
them one statement, and they'd splice it ten different ways-by the tit aired, fact and fiction would be
hopelessly tangled.
Upstairs, Lillian was waiting by the elevator.
“Public Relations and the Communications team are already in the conference room,” she reported.
Alessia nodded, pulling off her mask and hat. Her hair tumbled down, still holding its shape despite days of little
sleep. Even without a trace of makeup, you'd never guess she'd been running on empty.
She wore a comfortable, casual outfit, yet standing among the sharply dressed staff, her presence was
undeniable-she didn’t need the trappings to command a room.
“Ms. Morton, Mr. Whitley.” Everyone rose as she entered.
Alessia gave a small waye, signaling them to sit, and she and Cole took their seats at the head of the table.
“Let’s hear the current status,” Alessia began, wasting no ton pleasantries.
“We responded quickly, so public opinion is still manageable. Many fans are standing up for you on their own.
We've reached out to Tristan’s major
fan groups, and they're actively helping with damage control. However,

“Any solutions on the table?” Alessia glanced through the documents in her hands.
“The main issue is that the photos in question are genuine. Do you have any other images or evidence that could
help clarify things?”
Alessia frowned. “No.”
She'd never been one to document her private life, and what had happened didn’t seem worth recording at the
