Chapter 194: Chapter 194: I Need a Little Audience to Do My Thing?
His agent, Ms. Mayfield, wasn’t surprised. "He’s probably still on the mountain and hasn’t made it back yet, so it’s normal for him to not have a signal. Okay, everyone will need to work hard tonight. Call Gabriel Sinclair every half hour. At the same time, keep a close eye on the tabloid accounts across all platforms. Don’t let them spread false rumors. If anyone does, send a letter from our lawyers immediately."
The PR department was well-versed in handling this kind of crisis.
Ms. Mayfield’s calm attitude was reassuring, and everyone nodded before turning back to monitor their respective data feeds.
All night, the comments section on Gabriel Sinclair’s social media page was a complete disaster zone.
Fortunately, the PR team decided to stick to the facts. They didn’t hide that Gabriel Sinclair was away for a shoot and admitted it openly.
As a result, many fans who were initially furious gradually began to come to their senses.
It wasn’t until the next morning, when Gabriel Sinclair was heading down the mountain, that he saw the hundreds of missed calls on his phone and jumped in shock.
Several of them were from his big brother, Ethan Sinclair.
Gabriel had been afraid of his brother since they were kids, so he answered the call timidly.
"Gabriel, is what everyone online is saying true?"
Gabriel was utterly bewildered. Ever the caring sister, Chloe took out her phone and opened the social media app.
Gabriel lowered his gaze to look, and his good mood instantly evaporated.
"Fuck!"
Biting his lip, his face ashen, Gabriel cursed under his breath, "How can that woman be so shameless!"
Chloe, standing beside him, nodded in vigorous agreement.
’Sharon Thorne truly is shameless.’
Hearing Gabriel’s cursing on the other end of the line, Ethan already had a very clear idea of what had happened.
But when he remembered his little brother’s track record over the years, he couldn’t help but ask again, "So, you’re saying that woman is just making it all up?"
Gabriel practically spat through gritted teeth, "You think it’s true? Am I an idiot? I’m going to molest her and bring along a spectator?"
Hearing this, Chloe couldn’t help but snort with laughter.
When Ethan heard the familiar voice on the other end, he instantly abandoned his plan to lecture his brother.
His tone softened subconsciously. "Gabriel, make sure you protect Chloe."
"Yeah."
Gabriel knew what his brother meant. This time, he didn’t hesitate, agreeing with the utmost seriousness.
After hanging up, Gabriel was about to take Chloe home, but she refused.
Chloe said, "I want to go see your company."
Gabriel was instantly conflicted.
Of course, he would love for his sister to visit the company he’d founded.
But with this whole thing blowing up online, there was no telling how many paparazzi would be staked out outside his office.
His sister might get caught in the crossfire with some of the fans.
Gabriel reluctantly refused.
Normally, Chloe would have listened to him and obediently gone home, but this time she was surprisingly insistent.
She said, "I know what you’re worried about, Brother, but people online are already close to figuring out who we are to each other. It’s getting to the point where we can’t deny it anyway. You’re my brother. Whatever happens, we’ll face it together."
’Besides, someone has to step up and be a witness in this case.’
’The staff won’t work. They don’t have enough clout.’
’Paul Lancaster is an even worse choice. He has haters all over the web.’
’Therefore, the only one who can step forward and clear my brother’s name is me.’
Gabriel had been in the entertainment industry for years; he naturally knew the best way to handle a crisis like this.
He had countless ways to make this whole thing just blow over.
But to truly clear his name, Chloe’s testimony was essential.
"We don’t have any evidence. Even if you come forward, I’m afraid not many people will believe you."
Chloe smiled and asked, "Who says I don’t have any evidence?"
