Chapter 595 Unforeseen Circumstances

• Nathaniel decided to donate all of his award money to an orphanage, which won him even more praise with the society as the common folk praised him for not only being generous, but kind as well. This somehow caused his company's stock prices to rise as well. Everything was going in his favor. He brought Freya along to attend the award ceremony and won praises from all walks of society and the world. He was truly at the peak of his reputation. However, the weird part was, the weather was not exactly that cold during early Fall. In fact Saeville was known to be blistering hot during fall, and people would usually wear summer clothes then. Nathaniel, on the other hand, was wearing gloves. Although plenty of journalists noticed that detail, none of them asked since they needed to respect his privacy. Word about Nathaniel's amputation was still kept hidden as he was the face of his company and if anything were to happen, his company would be affected as well. The award was not the only thing the investors cared about as they also needed to take his health and his company's future into consideration when they invested in his company. Freya's gaze instinctively fell on Nathaniel's right hand, which distracted the sharp gazes from everyone. However one of the reporters got up, looked at Nathaniel and asked in a very loud and blunt tone. "Mr. Nathaniel, there were rumors about you getting severely injured when you saved the children. Could you share some details about what happened? There were also some rumors about you hurting your hand, and was even amputated. Was that true?" This immediately made Freya frown and felt the questions were extremely insensitive. So, she said, "Nataniel, the award ceremony has already ended. We should leave now," said Freya as she grabbed his arm.
• Nathaniel glared at the reporter and they looked unfamiliar to him. The reporter looked very young, and was emanating a sense of naive confidence of a newbie. The reporter must be new to the industry and felt the need to make headlines, just to boost their reputation. However, the reporter's question was insensitive, and was clearly trying to provoke Nathaniel. Nathaniel's gaze was so intimidating, that the reporter shuddered despite their young age. However, the reporter had gotten that mystery person's backing, and could not care less about what Nathaniel would do to him. Besides, he would be able to make money, and get a reputation boost. So, it was a win for him. As expected, the entire room erupted into waves of gossip as soon as the young reporter said that.
• "What did he mean by that?"
