"The truth is," Oscar began, lowering his voice dramatically, "the ambush was necessary. I needed your natural, unfiltered reaction to get the best pictures."
Evelyn narrowed her eyes, frowning.
"You set me up for a media ambush... for aesthetic purposes?"
Oscar raised both hands defensively, his grin nervous.
"It's not what it sounds like, Eve. The whole thing was strategic. I'll upload an article about your grand reappearance."
The line in her forehead became deep from hearing that.
"It'll overshadow the latest scandal of William Walters and Lana Scott. You know, to help the public forget your father's latest romantic chaos."
Evelyn shook her head, amused by his plan.
"Ah," she said dryly. "So, that's your real reason..."
Oscar gave a guilty smile. "Well... yes. I've already received Lana's money, so I need to act quickly, right?"
"Wow, that was quick. Where'd she even get that kind of money?"
"From Walters Group, of course."
