Marriage Contract: Love Game With CEO

"You need to go to see a doctor and get yourself examined," Victor said in a worried tone as he supported Mary.

"Thank you, but I'll be fine. I need to go see the family first." "Kevin, please calm down. Don't provoke the reporters, they are really aggressive. I don't want you to get in trouble," Mary added as she instructed Kevin.

"Understood. I won't." Kevin nodded in acknowledgment.

"Now you must know what it's like to be surrounded by a horde of reporters," Victor jokingly said as he chuckled to break the tension.

"Haha, yeah, it's intense."

Both Mary and Kevin smiled bitterly at his remark.

"By the way, what are you doing at the gate of the hospital, Victor?" Mary asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Oh, well." Victor suddenly averted his eyes to avoid her gaze and brushed his hair aside with nervous fingers. "I followed after your car." He then looked into Mary's eyes and spoke earnestly, "But it was only because I was worried about you. I thought something happened to you. I guess my instincts weren't wrong after all..."

"Victor, you..." Mary's expression tensed up as she balled her hands into fists and complained, "You're so reckless. Why did you follow me? You must really not be involved in any sort of scandal, right? You've been trying hard to avoid them lately."

"That doesn't matter. It felt good when I made headlines last time," Victor said with a reassuring smile smeared across his face.

"Alas, what more to expect from you." Mary raised her hands up in the air in a surrendering gesture as she heaved an exasperated sigh.

Kevin observed their casual exchange of words from the side as though he were an outsider. He was a product of conflicting emotions running amok inside of him as he thought, 'Has the self-centered superstar Victor fallen head over heels for Mary?'

When they followed the staff from the General Manager Office to the gate of the operating room, they realized that the child had incurred critical injuries on the head. And the old man, suffering from a severe rise in blood pressure, was in operation.

"Will he be alright, doctor?" Mary pulled the doctor aside and asked secretively.

"If the operation concludes without any complications, he will be out of danger. There's nothing we can say before that. I'm afraid you'

inated the headlines, but they flooded the entire page with scandals related to them.

The corners of Mary's mouth twisted distastefully. 'Should I be angry?'

Her phone was flooded with constant calls from the company, but she refused to attend them. 'If William isn't bothered by any of this, why should I be? I'm nobody. The world of business doesn't concern me.'

Dragging her steps across the floor, she moved to the window. She spotted a few reporters hiding in the bushes, concealing their cameras. Mary studied them disdainfully before pulling down the blinds.

Things had become very troublesome in the afternoon.

Mary felt like an outsider, reading all the news articles one after another.

The statement passed on by the AJ Group to dissolve the situation was quite convincing. It listed the agreements that had been signed by the family who didn't want to move and showed the video at the gate of the hospital. It was obvious that Mary was in a mess, but it still lifted some pressure off her shoulders.

The only thing hard to explain was why Victor showed up at the gate of the hospital all alone.

Some of Victor's fans accused Mary of seducing him when she was already tied to the CEO in matrimony.

Mary smiled to herself and wondered, 'When did they see me seducing Victor anyway?'

Some people even went so far as to extract the scene from the Past of Republic of China where Mary acted as the heroine to provide evidence on her being a shameless seductress.

Mary shook her head at the articles. No matter how many times she watched that scene, at no point did it seem apparent that she had feelings for Victor. Also, it seemed the netizens had keen eyesight, or else how did they find out that the substitute actress was her?

'The wife of the CEO of AJ Group acts as a substitute and stares into Victor's eyes affectionately.'

"Taboo love: the wife of the CEO and the company's actor."

"The wife of the CEO was surrounded at the gate of the hospital. Victor looked anxious to get to her."

For a moment, the topic that was being discussed on the Internet was shifted from the "accident in the construction site" to their "ambiguous relationship".

The whole thing was a complete mess. Overwhelmed by the attention she received, Mary didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
