Reporters swarmed the Nan family villa.
Footage of Marcus Valentine and the Sherwoods trapped at the gate quickly became a trending topic.
Inside a hospital room.
Justin Evans lounged on a sofa, scrolling through his phone.
He suddenly leapt to his feet.
"Did you arrange for those reporters?"
Jason Evans shook his head from his hospital bed.
"Not me."
Justin frowned.
"Then who?"
Very few people knew Mina Sherwood was staying at the Nan residence.
Yet reporters found the exact location.
Someone had to be behind it.
Jason suddenly remembered something.
"Do you still have that number that sent the report?"
Justin found the number and dialed.
A cold automated voice answered.
"The number is not in service."
He immediately ordered an investigation.
The results came back quickly.
It was a prepaid burner phone.
Justin burst into laughter.
"Someone hates Marcus Valentine more than we do!"
"Azoospermia exposed to a media siege."
"What a humiliation!"
Jason's face instantly darkened.
His gaze dropped to his lower body.
There was nothing there anymore.
Compared to azoospermia.
His situation was far worse.
But he didn't dare show his anger.
Justin was the eldest son of the main family line.
He was just a son from a secondary branch.
His father had warned him not to offend the main family.
Jason clenched the bedsheet tightly.
His nails dug into his palms.
...
Outside the Nan villa.
Marcus Valentine's face was like stormy water.
The usually carefree young master appeared unusually composed.
There was a reason Third Master Valentine chose him as heir.
The reporters' questions grew more aggressive.
"Mr. Valentine, was the azoospermia caused by horseback riding?"
"Or is it hereditary? Third Master Valentine also has no children..."
Marcus's eyes turned icy.
"Which newspaper are you from?"
He glanced at his assistant.
"Note it down."
"Sue him for defaming my uncle's reputation."
The reporter paled.
"I was just making a reasonable assumption..."
Mr. and Mrs. Valentine started to speak.
Marcus cut them off with a cold laugh.
"Who says my uncle has no children?"
"We just held a family reunion gala days ago."
"His daughter has been welcomed home."
He scanned the crowd.
"You ignore important Valentine family news."
"Yet you focus on炒作 private matters?"
The reporters fell silent.
Other journalists quickly changed the subject.
"Mr. Valentine, is the report true?"
Marcus replied calmly.
"That is private information."
A reporter pressed on.
"Whose child is it?"
"Please give the public an answer."
Marcus raised an eyebrow.
"Everyone should focus on the Valentine family's developments."
"New energy, AI intelligence, autonomous driving."
"Our new electric car launches this month."
"I drive one myself."
He smiled at the cameras.
"Please support Valentine products."
The reporters were stunned.
This wasn't a PR crisis.
It was a product launch event.
Valentine stock prices stopped falling.
Evelyn Ross watched from a distance, eyebrow raised.
Alexander Vance murmured his assessment.
"A classic PR case study."
"Every company should learn from this."
Marcus had absolutely won this round.
The reporters collected themselves and continued their questions.
"Mr. Valentine, is the marriage real?"
"Is the child yours?"
