Chapter 159 Threatening the Media
Chapter 159 Threatening the Media
“Enough.”
Max spoke out to interrupt him.
“I know that it’s not easy for you guys either. Things have already happened, and the damage caused
cannot be undone, I don’t blame you for that, but...”
He paused for a while and looked at him with a stern gaze, “You guys should be able to investigate
something like reporting a false crime thoroughly, right!”
The officer was shocked.
Logically, it could not be considered as a false report as they indeed found the drugs at the scene. It
was just that they still needed to find out the real owner of the drugs they had found.
As he was thinking, Max’s voice came out again.
“The drugs do not belong to Laura, so they must belong to someone else. The drugs appear out of
nowhere, so you must find out their source, right?”
The officer hurriedly nodded, “Yes, please don’t worry about it, we will definitely find out the truth.”
Only then did Max nod in satisfaction, “So, can she go now?”
“Of course. Mr. Nixon, this way.”
Only then did Laura leave with Max.
As expected, just as they stepped out of the police station, they found the reporters and media had
blocked their way.
Their cars were parked outside. They could not get up there without passing through the media.
“Miss Davies, it was reported that you brought drugs with you at a party, is this true?”
“Miss Davies, may I ask how you are feeling now, after something like this happened and your new
drama is about to go on air?”
“Miss Davies, is it because your agency has bailed you out that you did not get detention?”
“Miss Davies, may I ask how long you have been taking drugs?”
It was the first time that Laura had encountered such a situation. She was scared and was stunned for
a moment.
At this moment, a cold and deep voice came from behind.
“Miss Davies brought drugs with her? Who told you this?”
The crowd was stunned.
When they saw that the person who came out was Max, everyone was shocked.
All of them surged over.
“Mr. Nixon, may I ask, why are you here at this time of the day. Is it you who have bailed Miss Davies
out?”
“Mr. Nixon, it seems that Miss Davies’ involvement in the drug possession scandal is true?”
They were all blocking Max.
Max was indifferent. He said in a stern voice, “Marvis!”
“Yes!”
“Bring someone to clear the way!”
“Yes!”
Two rows of bodyguards immediately ran over and pushed the reporters away.
Max hugged Laura and shielded her as he walked out.
“Mr. Nixon! Please give us an explanation.”
“Mr. Nixon, do you think you can veil the truth by not saying anything?”
Max simply ignored them. After sending Laura to the car, he swished the door shut.
He ordered the driver to drive her away first before he turned around and faced those media reporters.
“First of all, from the beginning, no one has ever said that Laura was taken away because of drug
possession! I don’t know where you had heard the news, but I’m here to tell you about it.”
“I didn’t come here to bail her out. The police station has investigated clearly that what had happened
today had nothing to do with her, it was just that someone wants to frame her.”
“If you don’t believe me, there is a police station behind you. You can go and ask for clarification
yourselves.”
“Since this is all a misunderstanding, I don’t want to see any negative news about this incident from any
of your reports.”
“If I see any of you distorting the facts, it is slander! For any media companies that damage the Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
reputation of the artists of Annie International, we will sue them for defamation and will never let it go
easily, you can try it if you don’t believe me!”
After he finished, he turned around to a bodyguard beside him and said loudly, “Josh, go! Take down
the names of all the media here, don’t miss a single one!”
“Yes!”
After Max finished his words, he got into his car and left.
The media were a bit confused by his words, but after a while, someone really came over and recorded
their names one by one.
Those people were so scared that their faces turned pale.
“Why are you recording our names? You are not following the rules!”
“Rules? Heh!” Josh sneered, “You still talk about rules with me? You always distort the truth. Don’t
insult the word ‘rules’ by talking about it from your mouth!”
With that, despite his resistance, he took the wallet out of his pocket.
He fished out his ID card and wrote down his name.
The man was so angry that he trembled.
“What do you mean by this? Threatening and intimidating?”
“Yes! We have nothing to say if you write down our company’s name, but what are you doing with our
names?”
“Do you guys want to take revenge?”
Josh gave a sarcastic laugh.
“Annie International is a regular company. How would we such a thing? We are taking down your
names just in case. After all, with such a piece of big news, if your names appear on the news, we have
to have an impression somehow, right?”
The man’s eyes widened at once.
“How dare you say that you are not trying to take revenge! You’re threatening us right now?”
“If you say so.”
Josh did not bother to talk to them anymore. Soon, after taking down their names, he led his men away.
The reporters looked at the back of the caravan leaving. They were anxious and angry.
But they did not dare to do anything.
They all knew Max. Though they were all from a wealthy family, unlike Archie, Max would not care
about the consequences and would really go back to whoever had pissed him off.
If it was Archie, they could still talk about it like a business.
After all, they were just all entertainment media, so who would be willing to give up such a piece of
breaking news?
But then they met a guy like Max!
This guy was always unconventional. If he was really pissed off, he might really take revenge under the
table!
Thinking of this, all the reporters did not dare to act rashly for a moment.
In the end, they all returned to their own companies and reported the situation to their superiors before
making a decision.
At the same time, Max sat in his car and called the PR department.
He ordered them to contact the heads of the major media who were at the scene just now, so that he
could do Max a favor to suppress the news.
Fortunately, although Laura had starred in “The Youth” and “Chase the Wind”, and “The Youth” had
always been very popular on the internet.
She was a newcomer after all, unlike those famous celebrities.
So, after discussion, the heads of the media were willing to do him a favor.
After all, it was not really smart to offend a business tycoon just for this bit of news about a newcomer.
Moreover, by letting go of this news today, Max owed them a favor that he would have to repay sooner
or later.
Because of this, the matter was resolved quite smoothly.
After this was done, Max dialed Natalia’s number.
It was because some other people had seen Laura being taken away by the police.
