Despite all the precautions they had taken, Clarissa’s movie was still watched closely.
Furthermore, the set wasn’t in an enclosed area. Hence, someone would definitely have spotted them and taken pictures.
Before they left the set, pictures of them were uploaded to the internet. Before long, everyone knew about it. Clarissa and Matthew had finally come out of hiding.
Meanwhile, reporters from every corner of the city were mobilized. Even the nosey residents of D City rushed to the set, hoping to catch a glimpse of them.
Luckily, Matthew was well-tuned to the situation. The moment he heard about it, both of them left right away.
By the time the reporters arrived, Clarissa and Matthew were driving away.
However, there were some desperate reporters who chased them down. They were motivated by a headline that had the potential for a big payday.
When Joseph saw the cars approaching them in his rearview mirror, he was shocked.
“Mr. Tyson, the cars behind us are catching up.”
Matthew’s expression darkened. It had been a long time since they were pursued with such intensity.
Didn’t a famous princess die in a car accident after being chased by crazy reporters some years ago?
Matthew’s eyes sparkled with greater intensity. “Ignore them. Just prioritize our safety.”
“Yes, Mr. Tyson.”
Joseph was aware that safety was paramount. Not to mention that Clarissa was pregnant.
However, the reporters behind them did not care for their own lives. Soon, their cars were neck to neck, and cameras started to flash. However, given that Matthew’s car was heavily tinted, they were unable to see the insides other than through the driver’s window.
Therefore, the reporters overtook them and continued taking pictures, causing Matthew’s gaze to turn frosty.
He gave Donnie a call at once and vowed to teach the reporter’s a lesson.
Inside the car, Clarissa huddled in Matthew’s arms. She was feeling both nervous and scared.
Despite how dangerously the reporters were pursuing and blocking them, they would be fine as long as Joseph drove steadily and wasn’t intimidated.
“Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter even if they get pictures of us. Not like there’s anything to expose. Furthermore, it’s impossible for them to take a picture of us in the car.”
“Mmm-hmm. I’m not nervous. I’m just…” Bang!
Before Clarissa could finish, they felt a forceful crash, as if someone had rammed them from behind.
Furthermore, their car had hit the one in front.
However, at the moment of impact, Matthew was holding onto Clarissa tightly. Although his body hit the front seat, he had managed to cushion the impact on her. Hence, she seemed to be unharmed.
However, that was only on the outside.
“Mr. Tyson, Mrs. Tyson, are you all right?”
Worried sick, Joseph stopped the car and turned to the back.
As for Matthew, he quickly checked on Clarissa.
“Clare, are you alright? Did you hit anything? Does it hurt anywhere? Is your tummy fine?”
Clarissa was briefly stunned but quickly regained her senses. “I’m fine. What about you? And Joseph?”
“I’m alright.”
“Mrs. Tyson, I’m fine too.”
After having stopped their car, the reporters surrounded them, hoping to get Matthew and Clarissa’s picture right away. As the cameras flashed incessantly outside, Matthew’s gaze darkened considerably.
Looking at Clarissa, he was still concerned about her.
“Joseph, open the door. Hail a taxi as we are going to the hospital.”
“Yes, Mr. Tyson.”
When Joseph tried to get out of the car, he was swarmed by reporters. Despite trying for a long time, he was unable to do so.
The next moment, the noisy ruckus outside fell silent when the door slammed shut.
“Hubby, I’m fine. So, calm down. Why don’t we wait for the cops to come before we go home? I’m really all right. Your nervousness is just making me feel worse.”
In truth, Clarissa was equally nervous too.
Hugging her at once, Matthew comforted her by patting her on the back. “Don’t worry. It will be alright. Everything will be fine…”
Despite trying for a long time, Joseph didn’t manage to get a taxi.
Looking at the reporters outside, Matthew patted Clarissa’s arm.
“I’m going down so just wait here. After I’m out, I’ll carry you away. So, stay calm and don’t move. I’m right beside you, hmm?”
Clarissa nodded.
The moment Matthew opened the door, chaos flooded their senses. They were bombarded with questions followed by cameras and handphones shoved in Matthew’s direction. In fact, he was about to be pushed back into the car.
The next second, Matthew roared, “Move aside!”
His aggressive demeanor stunned everyone.
The moment the reporters fell silent, Matthew warned, “Make way. If anything happens to my wife today, you had better start preparing for your funeral.”
Just as he spoke, he turned toward Clarissa. “Clare, come over now. I’ll carry you out. Close your eyes. You don’t have to look at them.”
After Clarissa slid over, Matthew carried her out of the car.
Although there were some who couldn’t resist taking photos, they opened a path once Matthew shot them a glare.
“Mr. Tyson, Mrs. Tyson, the taxi is here.”
Luckily, Joseph managed to hail one. After both of them got in, they headed right for the hospital.
Only then did Joseph heave a sigh of relief.
When he saw that their car had been sandwiched, he sneered before calling the police.
After that, he shouted at the reporters who wanted to chase after Clarissa. “How dare you try to escape? Pay for the damages first before you go.”
Do they not care about their lives in pursuit of a scoop?
Fine, let’s see if their scoop is worth more than the car.
The money they receive will definitely not be enough to pay for the repairs. They had better be prepared to declare bankruptcy.
Inside the taxi, the driver looked at the beautiful couple in the rearview mirror before thinking about the reporters he saw.
Just when he wanted to be a busybody and ask questions, he caught a glimpse of Matthew’s fearsome expression. Hence, he bit his tongue instead.
When they arrived at the hospital, Matthew left the driver a phone number before dashing out with Clarissa without paying.
The driver figured that they were in a hurry to see the doctor. Given that they were hounded by reporters, it was unlikely that they would abscond with their fare. With that, he drove off without further thought.
Later on, he would be paid twice the fare after calling the number. After he saw the news and realized who they were, he even related his involvement in it proudly.
However, that was after the fact.
Back to the hospital, Matthew was both nervous and concerned. It wasn’t until all the tests confirmed that Clarissa was fine did he manage to heave a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, a group of reporters had secretly snuck into the hospital, trying to find out what happened.
Only then, did they hear about Clarissa’s pregnancy.
However, none of them were particularly happy about the news despite the fact that it was a lucrative headline.
Instead, all of them felt a shiver down their spine due to the car crash earlier.
If anything had happened to Clarissa then or if the baby was hurt, Matthew’s threat would turn into reality. Consequently, they would literally be digging their own grave.
Hence, the moment they heard the news, they looked at each other with their faces pale as sheet.
“Hey, are you going to post this? I’m actually afraid to do so.”
“Erm… Let’s talk over it when we’re back.”
“But, if we don’t post it now, and someone else does it, we won’t be paid anything.”
Gritting his teeth, the man stamped his authority.
“Let’s skip this one. Although we weren’t the ones to crash into his car, Matthew would definitely hold a grudge. Hence, we can’t take the risk of destroying ourselves over this scoop. Damn it, my wife told me this morning that my horoscope advised me to stay home instead. And yet, I laughed at how inaccurate she was when I heard Mr. Tyson and his wife were out. In hindsight, she was right after all. So, let’s head back now.”
“What? It’s really accurate. Please tell her to check mine for me.”
“There’s no need to do so. Since you work for me, my fate will be the same as yours. Furthermore, even if we don’t post it now, someone else will do it anyway. Matthew and his wife’s controversy has been in the news for a few months now. Do you know how many reporters have been implicated by it? I have seen the light. We are simply nothing to them after all. Even if we report the latest scoop on them, they will continue going on their holidays and making babies. If anything happens, we will be the ones taken to court. Forget it, we can’t afford to offend people like them. It’s better we stick to scandals involving young celebrities.”
“Boss, are you really going to stop following them? But you have been tracking them for months! Wouldn’t it be a waste if you give up now?”
“Just you wait. We aren’t the ones that have lost the most. Whoever crashed into Mr. Tyson’s car today will be preparing to file for bankruptcy.”
“Ah… thank God, Boss. You didn’t get me to ram their car along with the others.”
“Sheesh… you won’t go wrong listening to me. Come, let’s go home. My wife will cook us something delicious to destress…”
Meanwhile, Clarissa and Matthew arrived at Zen Highlands in the car Donnie had sent.
The moment he returned, Matthew took action against the reporters right away.
Since they are willing to risk their lives for money, let’s see how they can continue living when they run out of it.
Finally, the netizens who were waiting with anticipation for news about Matthew and Clarissa got their headline.
However, it wasn’t about Matthew and Clarissa. Instead, it was about the car accident.
Matthew Tyson car accident.
The Tysons’ car crash.
Reporters crash into Matthew Tyson’s car.
Tysons hospitalized after car crash.
As for the reporters who intended to make a headline out of the Tysons, they were now a subject of the headline themselves.
Not only did they not make any money, they were even charged in court.
For their blatant disregard of public safety in pursuit of a scoop, Matthew, obviously infuriated, would pursue the matter until justice was served.
However, the true reason he was enraged was that the news of Clarissa’s pregnancy had been leaked.
