Chapter 378: Chapter 378 – Doing it for favor.

As soon as Sabrina stepped out of the elevator, the media swarmed her, but Laura did her best to keep them away.

She also called for backup from the agency, knowing that Robin would pay for their service once the chaos was cleared.

Luckily, they arrived amidst the chaos and their intimidating presence caused the media to behave.

"Miss James, we went to your office but you weren’t there. Your secretary informed us that you were here," a media representative said.

Sabrina raised her brows, wondering if it was a comment or statement. In the end, she decided not to respond, as the next media rep spoke. "Miss James, what is your reaction to the news?"

"What news?" Sabrina pretended not to know, finding the question silly. The rep was slightly embarrassed and asked her,

"Have you not seen? There is news everywhere about your ex-husband having a secret lover. What do you have to say about that?"

Sabrina raised her brow again, contemplating whether to answer the question or not. Somehow, she found herself being sarcastic.

After all, she was not in a bad mood. "Well, you already addressed him as my ex-husband so why should it bother me?"

The rep who asked the question lowered her head, hiding her shame and not knowing how to make Robin look bad in Sabrina’s eyes like that mysterious man had instructed her to do.

Another one asked, "Miss James, there have been videos and pictures of you two being intimate and sharing a few kisses in public. We also heard about your engagement."

The corner of Sabrina’s lips tilted into a sneer. "What is the point?"

The reps were shocked, not expecting her to be so direct and sassy. They all thought she was a quiet woman who would be intimidated by their presence and cameras, but the fifteen or so media reps with cameras in front of Sabrina did nothing to break her.

"Miss James, are you saying that you don’t care about the news?"

"What do you want me to say?" Sabrina asked in return. The rep realized the mistake in his question and rephrased it,

"Miss James, are you going to break up with Mr. Jewel because of his secret lover?"

Sabrina pursed her lips, considering which question was worth answering. "That is a private matter," she replied.

"What about the effect this news is having on his businesses?" Another rep inquired. Sabrina saw this as an opportunity to protect the Jewel Group from any shame.

"I believe that there is nothing hidden under the sun and whoever is behind this false news will pay for it."

Up until now, the reps had no idea about Sabrina’s stance on the matter. It was only made clear now and, of course, sowed a seed of excitement in them.

"Miss James, what makes you think it’s false news? For as long as we know, everything seems authentic."

Sabrina chuckled, but her eyes were cold as she responded to the attack. "Do I have to remind you all that when Robin did those things in the past, he was not afraid to hide it?"

The reps went quiet, nodding their heads in agreement. It was clear by then that Robin never cared what kind of news they carried and would always allow himself to be seen in compromising positions with different women.

"Yes, he was always seen around and he wouldn’t care what the reports said."

"Great. So why would he lie if he hasn’t changed?" Sabrina asked again. Confusion mirrored in their faces, but the depth of her question settled in their minds as one of them asked,

"Miss James, are you saying that somebody set him up?"

Sabrina did not have proof and was not ready to admit it on public television, so she said,

"I’m saying that somebody drugged him and you know what, I will find all the proofs and make sure that whoever is behind this, dances to the music."

"Miss James, how can you be sure?" One of the reps asked, a little nervous. But Sabrina was consumed with so much anger, she did not notice it.

"Because as of now, his phone lines would not go through. Do you really think that as the businessman Robin is, he would allow his phone to go off?"

"Ehmmm NO," the rep who asked the question answered, looking everywhere but refusing to meet Sabrina’s scrutinizing gaze. Whereas, she was not done.

And do you really think that if he wanted to cheat, he would do it when there are so many business partners waiting for him?"

Realizing there was no way to get around Sabrina’s wisdom, one of them asked again, "Miss James, I agree with your analysis but who do you think is behind it?"

Sabrina smiled again, taking a deep breath, but it did not reach her eyes. "I have my suspicions but I will not give out any information until I have proof."

Some of the reps were uncomfortable, but one of them did not want to lose the rest of the money promised to him by the man who set them up to all this and said,

"Miss James, don’t you think you are being blinded by love to defend him as the news says?" Sabrina was upset with the question and didn’t want to answer it, but also could not allow them to keep carrying such a lame information.

She was about to speak, but the moment she opened her mouth, a familiar voice spoke behind her, and she was shocked.

"Mrs. Jewel is not blind. Mr. Jewel is one of the most disciplined people I have come across. He has his reasons for doing the things he did in the past, but this is unlike him. I will help Mrs. Jewel to get to the bottom of this," Ben, Aria’s husband, spoke behind Sabrina.

It felt good to have another person share in Robin’s defense, and Sabrina was grateful for it.

His appearance was a surprise to the media reps, and clad in a black suit, he looked endearing.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?" one of the reps asked politely. Ben replied,

"I am the CEO of Jewel Can Products. You are all quick to judge Mr. Jewel, but I believe, just like his wife, that he is innocent in all this."

The reps were not liking this new interference. They all knew that Sabrina was blind before and could say that she still was, but for her to slice others’ support could crumble their attacks against Robin.

"It’s because he is your boss. You are doing it to get favor," another media rep said, and the rest were nodding their heads in agreement.

"I also believe that Mr. Jewel is innocent," another CEO from another company under the Jewel Group said. He was at the meeting with Robin earlier and could also not believe it because Robin was still working when he left.

"I know you, sir, you are also doing it for favor," one of the media reps said, since that CEO was quite popular.

Before the CEO could defend himself, another voice spoke, sending warmth to Sabrina’s heart...
