Flustered, he blurted out, “I was just hired to do this. I took the money and did the job–that’s how our business works. I honestly didn’t think it through.”
After saying that, he turned toward Aurora. “I’m sorry, Miss Walton. This was my mistake. Please forgive me. I promise it won’t happen again.”
He understood well enough that the reason he’d been exposed today was because Aurora had caught on.
And judging by the crowd’s reaction, it was clear her opinion mattered most here.
If he couldn’t read the situation now, he might as well quit the field altogether.
In this line of work, you had to be ready to face the risks.
And right now, it was obvious–both Daniel and Lucas deferred to Aurora.
That meant he needed to apologize to her first and foremost.
The sudden shift left the onlookers stunned, unable to process how quickly things had turned.
Aurora herself was caught off guard. Hearing his apology, she didn’t even know how to respond.
“Do you know who sent you?” she asked at last.
The reporter quickly shook his head. “I really don’t. He only ever contacted me online. I even tried to check, but there was no way to trace who he actually was.”
A murmur of sympathy spread through the crowd.
It was obvious–whoever was behind this had deliberately targeted Aurora.
One by one, people turned to her, curious how she would handle it.
