Chapter 285: An Iconic Picture
On the way back to the castle, Arthur was shouting at his people for allowing that much reporters when they were leaving. Hearing their reply, Arthur got more angry and barked orders to let no one near the Oakley Castle gates.
"Leave them, Fred. If you block them, it would only anger them more and they would turn hostile. And they are in public property if they are standing outside the gates and we really cannot ask them not to stand there." Talia with a sigh leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes.
As expected, there were a lot of reporters waiting by the caste gate. The castle securities tried to form a boundary, but the reporters pushed the boundaries and surrounded the car once more.
The side glasses were tinted, but the windshield was transparent and since both of them were in the front seats, the photographers all gathered in front of the car to take pictures.
Even the blaring sound of horn didn’t faze them. Talia heard everything but stayed with her eyes closed refusing to engage with them.
Arthur looked to his side and seeing Talia with a frozen face, closing her eyes, his heart hurt. His feet on the accelerator itched to floor it.
What would happen if I actually run one or two of them? Will they stop bothering her then?
In the end, he decided not to let his anger cloud his judgement. Not because he felt worried for his future, or for the life of those vermin, it because he knew if he floored the accelerator now, they will crash at the tree and the airbags will deploy, injuring Talia.
She cannot get hurt further.
With a sudden idea, Arthur revved the car. The roaring of the powerful engine of the sports car, combined with the smoke from the burning tires, was so intimidating making most reporters scatter off.
Talia who was closing her eyes till then, looked at the man beside, with her eyes wide. Arthur’s smirk deepened seeing people scattering off.
