Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254 I Don’t Love You
He swore to her and asked if she was willing to join hands with him for life.
She smiled and said, "George River, I don’t even love you."
At that moment, he felt a dull pain in his chest, a hot, metallic taste in his throat, and then he watched her walk away towards someone else.
He felt like he was drowning, and when he finally opened his eyes, George River was still gasping for air, as if the taste of blood lingered in his throat.
Outside the window, the night had gradually faded, giving way to the faint light of dawn.
The room was still engulfed in silence.
He sat up from the sofa, frowning, his complexion pale and his lips devoid of color.
"Hannah."
He murmured softly, his voice filled with hoarseness and pain.
That night, he had not waited for Hannah’s clarifying post; the news of Hannah’s pregnancy and marriage had almost become the default belief across the internet.

On the other hand, Louis Snyder and Jackie Qualls, who had also received the same news, were more rational than George River.
As a veteran in the entertainment circle, Jackie kept even cooler, immediately sending someone to find out the truth of the news.
Louis, on the other hand, was much more direct.
He directly brought the paparazzo who had leaked the photos in front of him.
The paparazzo, just having received a hefty fee for the scoop, was "invited" over like this.
"Did you take those photos and videos?"
A somewhat cold voice came from in front of him, and the paparazzo lifted his head to see Louis Snyder sitting in a chair.
His eyes were dark and contrasted with his somewhat pale face. With little expression, they conveyed a chilling melancholy, a quiet yet aggressive vibe.
The paparazzo’s surname was Huang, but to save trouble and avoid the hassle, the people in the circle called him Old Jones, although he was only in his mid-twenties and just looked a bit old for his age.
Old Jones had been a paparazzo for quite a few years, and he hadn’t captured "big news" very often, but it was the first time he was summoned like this to be questioned.
Old Jones panicked, first shaking his head, then nodding, his voice trembling, "Yes... it was me who took them."
After he spoke, seeing that Louis did not utter a word in front of him, he panicked even more and hurriedly added, "I just took the photos and videos; I didn’t write those news articles. I’m just a small-time paparazzo, and that day, it was just by chance that I passed by there..."
Old Jones confessed everything about the situation.
He hadn’t planned to stay in the paparazzi business forever. With the scoop fee he received this time, he had even bought his ticket home.
So now, he just wanted to explain things quickly and go pack his things.
Indeed, as Old Jones had said, it really was a coincidence that day. He had been following a male idol, who, despite being publicly single, was rumored to be living it up too much in private and had overstretched himself, so he was going to the hospital to get medication.
He had been tailing the idol for several days, but on the final day, he was late. He thought about leaving directly, but as luck would have it, he had the fortuitous chance encounter with Hannah.
Louis looked down at the now-darkened screen, seemingly in a bad mood, "Someone said, you saw it with your own eyes."
Very calmly delivering that statement, it took Old Jones a long while to recover.
He started to wail, "I didn’t see anything, I really didn’t, whoever is spreading these damn rumors about me, I swear, when I saw them, they were already at the entrance of the hospital!"
Louis looked up, his gaze calm yet with a hint of amusement, "So, the trending search is fake."
He seemed very certain of this matter.
