Cole's scandal caused such a stir on the Internet that the Turner Group soon held a press conference to clarify the matter.

Cole revealed to reporters at the conference that the leading man in the news was indeed him. As for the leading lady in the rumor, she was not the so-called bar girl but his fiancée. At the same time, he officially announced he would get married soon.

As soon as the relationship became public, it caused an uproar immediately.

Rory watched it in silence with mixed feelings.

Not long ago, Cole had also promised her that he would tell everyone that she was his wife.

It was not long before he said the same thing to another woman now.

Turning off the video of the news on the computer, Rory got oblivious to the outside world and automatically stayed away from everything about Cole.

However, she didn't expect Cole didn't forget to take revenge on her while he was clarifying his scandal.

Shortly after the press conference of the Turner Group, Rory felt that her colleagues in the office looked at her differently.

They looked at Rory with contempt and ridicule.

Just as Rory was puzzled, she heard some female colleagues sneering, "I was right. My ideal man is not philandering or irresponsible. It turned out that the woman was his fiancée."

"The person who broke the news is too shameless, right?"

"I heard that the person was trying to seize her sister's fiancé, so she made a point of discrediting Cole and ruining his image."

"It's shameless of her to try to take her brother-in-law. It's disgusting how she usually pretends to be innocent."

As they talked, they glanced meaningfully at Rory.

Rory knew what had happened.

She remembered what Cole said to her last at noon, "You'll regret it, Rory!"

Unexpectedly, Cole acted quickly to affect her work through the matter.

Rory was so furious for a moment that she trembled with anger all over.

"As the old saying goes, the former lovers will be ruthless when they fall out. I didn't do anything, but Cole and Sylvia tried their best to stab me behind my back. How far do they want to push me before they stop?" Rory thought to herself.

Seeing that Rory didn't look well, Nicki pointed angrily at those female colleagues and scolded, "Shut up! You don't know anything! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Nothing happens for no reason. If Rory hadn't done that, there wouldn't have been the rumor."

"That's right. Mr. Turner is not a womanizer by any means. In my opinion, Rory must have had a crush on him, but she was rejected. She was unwilling, so she did that."

"She's so shameless. It's really pitiful that Cole's fiancée has such a younger sister."

There was keen competition for work among colleagues usually here, and Rory had always had better performance than they had. That was why some had always been jealous of Rory.

Now that they finally had a chance to suppress Rory, they did all they could.

Their taunts poured in, which stabbed Rory.

"Shut up, or I'm not gonna let you off lightly."

Nicki had a bad temper. Seeing her friend Rory being abused like that, she rolled up her sleeves in anger and rushed to those female colleagues.

"What do you want to do, Nicki?"

It was obvious that those women were hard to handle. When seeing that Nicki rushed up, they banded together immediately.

Nicki was not afraid at all, "I want to teach you how to behave."

After that, she struck. Immediately, she fought with the female colleagues with whom she had quarreled.

Rory was startled. Seeing that the matter was about to get worse, she rushed to try to get Nicki back.

In disarray, someone pushed Rory, so she staggered and was going to fall uncontrollably immediately. She was facing the corner of the desk, so she would probably hurt herself badly if she fell.

"Rory!" exclaimed Nicki, and others got startled, too.

A man appeared just as Rory was about to fall. He caught Rory just in time and cradled her in his arms.

The man wrapped his arm around Rory's waist and protected her head with his other hand, holding her in his arms.

In that position, he looked like a god who was born to protect Rory.

There was a moment of dead silence in the office.

The man appeared so suddenly that everyone couldn't react for a while.

Rory was also clearly taken aback.

She had got ready to fall just now, but she fell into a warm embrace suddenly.

Leaning against the man like a lamb, Rory heard his strong and clear heartbeat and suddenly smelled something faint and refreshing that was familiar to her.

Rory collected herself and looked at the man.

His handsome face was very close to Rory's. He was tall and attractive with delicate features and cold air. He had thin lips, and his dark and deep eyes were dazzling and awe-inspiring.

His appearance was like a huge windstorm, and he was dazzling and domineering, driving everything around him to be eclipsed.

It turned out to be Blake Woods.

"You..."

Rory widened her eyes and gazed at Blake in surprise.

There was also a gasp from the onlookers.

"Well... is it Blake Woods, the president of Brilliant Entertainment Group?"

"Have I misjudged? Mr. Woods is a big shot, so he can't come here by no means, right?"

"You haven't been wrong. It's him indeed!"

"Look, he's still holding Rory..."

There was continuous discussion in the office, and everyone who recognized Blake looked excited. Even the women Nicki had fought with couldn't stop looking at Blake.

Blake was a God-like figure. He controlled more than 70 percent of the lifeblood of the entertainment industry, and all the stars in his company were famous.

The Brilliant Entertainment Group led the entertainment industry, so countless stars tried their best to sign a contract with the enterprise every year.

Blake was seen by the public as too noble and unreachable, but there were still plenty of women who wanted to marry him.

Cole Turner was the ideal lover of young, rich, and noble girls in New York, while Blake Woods was the dream man in their minds.

Blake was rigorous, low-key, and mysterious, which drove many women to give up before they made a move to get him.

Everyone never expected that Blake would come to Star Entertainment Group, such a small place.

Moreover, he helped Rory Lane in the nick of time.

The sight of Rory resting so calmly in Blake's arms made everyone jealous.

Almost everyone focused their attention on Blake at this point.

However, Blake seemed oblivious to that. He just looked closely at Rory in his arms and asked her in a deep and magnetic voice,

"Are you alright? My Wi..."
