Chapter 472: Chapter 472

"Why is Lyra Grant so disgusting!"

"Exactly, plagiarizing someone else’s book and still wanting to destroy everything, it’s utterly shameless!"

"No wonder her later books aren’t as good as the first one. It turns out the first one was plagiarized. But then again, we don’t know if the later ones are written by her or not. Maybe they were plagiarized too or written by a ghostwriter."

The people in the Studio were abuzz with discussion, and online, even their former class teacher and the classmates who used to hang around Lyra Grant were dug up by netizens, all condemning her in various ways.

Not long after, quite a few reporters flocked to the Studio, surrounding it completely, wanting to interview Mabel Quinn.

Mabel was entirely encircled by the reporters, bombarded with various questions — some about Lyra Grant’s plagiarism, some about her thoughts on the announcement by Morningstar to ban Grace Yowell, and some about her relationship with Kyle Kinston.

Mabel found it hard even to break through the encirclement, while Alice Conley and other colleagues in the Studio tried to block the reporters’ approach, though it didn’t help much.

The supervisor told Mabel to go back first, as he had no idea how long the reporters would block the way, and Alice volunteered to protect Mabel as they broke through the surrounding crowd.

Alice kept saying, "Make way, make way!"

Mabel said, "Sorry, no comment." The rıghtful source is Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

In the chaos, someone lost their footing and was pushed over, setting off a chain reaction as people fell like dominoes, dragging Mabel and Alice down with them.

The scene turned chaotic, and Mabel and Alice got separated. As Mabel got up, trying to find Alice, she was grabbed by the wrist by a male reporter.

"Miss Quinn, are you the original author of ’Sound of the Wind,’ or is it because you’re now the girlfriend of CEO Kyle Kinston that you have some private deal with Lyra Grant to boost your own fame?"

Mabel shouted angrily, "Let go of me!" She was anxious to find Alice and wasn’t in the mood for such an interview.

But the reporter became more relentless, "If Lyra Grant once bullied you using her family background, now that you’re CEO Kyle Kinston’s girlfriend, do you intend to use this identity to bully Lyra Grant? Does Mr. Kinston know about this?"

The questions were obviously malicious, and Mabel glared at the reporter before stating angrily, "If you can only attract attention by asking such malicious questions without any factual basis, you don’t deserve to be a journalist."

The reporter’s face turned dark, "Miss Quinn, you better be responsible for what you say! Don’t think you can say such things just because you’re Mr. Kinston’s girlfriend."

"Regardless of who I’m dating, I’ll say what I said, and I’ll be responsible for my words. I also expect you to take responsibility for yours!" Mabel retorted without backing down.

The reporter sneered, "Alright, photographer, you captured everything Miss Quinn just said, right? We’ll make sure to broadcast it on our news program!"

There was an underlying threat in the reporter’s words, but he didn’t hear any response from his filming colleague.

So he looked to his side, and what he saw made him break out in a cold sweat.

A tall figure was standing nearby, and behind him were several burly men dressed in black uniforms. This imposing lineup... and this man...
