Chapter 187
“The child! Stop her!”
Ariana raised her head to see that Alina had somehow escaped from the car and ran across the road toward Sarah.
A large truck was driving at full speed, and seemed unable to stop in time.
“No!” Sarah screamed in alarm.
Sarah was paralyzed with fear.
Her heart pounded in her chest as she watched in horror as the truck barreled toward Alina.
But in a split second, a small figure raced out, shielding the child in their arms before tumbling into the bushes along the side of the road.
Ariana, who had stepped in to protect Alina, was quick to put one hand on her belly, even as she fell.
Her thick clothing cushioned the impact, sparing the life in her belly from any harm.

Cars in the vicinity came to a halt, clearing a path for Ariana and Alina.
Ariana walked to Sarah with Alina in her arms.
The child was too frightened to speak.
To calm her, Ariana gently stroked Alina’s head.

Sarah hugged Alina tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She cried out to the reporters, “Stop this! Can’t you just leave us alone? I’ll leave the show and the entertainment industry, is that enough?”
The ear-splitting roar was like a final plea from a trapped, desperate beast.
The reporters were momentarily hushed, glancing at one another.
Some began to waver, realizing that perhaps they had taken things too far.
“We don’t mean to make things difficult for you,” one of them muttered.
“We simply want the truth.
” @
Ariana fixed her gaze upon the reporters and spoke firmly.
“The truth will be given to you, but I beg of you to not interfere with us in such a dangerous manner.
What happened just now is warning enough of what could occur if we continue down this path.
”
The reporters remained silent, some of them appearing to have second thoughts about their actions.
Eventually, they began to disperse, possibly fearing that someone could get hurt.
As they left, Ariana let out a sigh of relief.
However, before she could fully relax, her attention was caught by the flash of a camera.
Ariana’s gaze landed on the man responsible for causing the chaos-the male reporter who had been the most aggressive and shouted that Alina was across the street.
Trying to control her anger, Ariana approached the reporter.
“Sir, can you stop taking photos?” She reached for his arm, and tried to move it away.
The reporter, however, was too strong and easily shook off Ariana’s grip and continued to snap pictures of Sarah and Alina, causing Alina to break into tears once again.
“Stop that, you’re scaring the child!” Ariana, unable to control her anger, struck the reporter’s camera out of his hand.

The camera fell to the ground and was damaged with a crack.
The reporter became angry and pushed Ariana’s shoulder.
He pointed at her and said harshly, “I’m doing my job of taking pictures.
What can you do to stop me? Sarah is nothing special, just a woman who is available to anyone.
She thinks she’s above it all? Let me tell you, I have the pictures and I will expose her.
Watch and see.
”
When Ariana was pushed, she stumbled and hit her forehead against a metal pole, causing her head to buzz with pain.
In response, Betsy was filled with anger and was ready to confront the male reporter.
She shouted, “Quiet! You’re a vicious liar! How dare you hit her
