Chapter: 305
The flashlight was aimed at Alan, but he didn't care.
Kaitlin felt lightheaded. The throng of people and the stuffy atmosphere made her chest tighten.
It appeared she had overestimated her resilience this time.
After coming backstage, Ernesto immediately came over, looking a little flustered.
The abrupt end to the interview could disrupt the event's schedule and might lead to speculative and negative interpretations.
“Mr. Hewitt, what's going on with Ms. Gilbert?" Ernesto inquired.
Kaitlin, looking pale, leaned weakly against Alan's chest.
"She's not feeling well. Avoid scheduling these interviews for her going forward," Alan said to Ernesto.
Alan then carefully picked Kaitlin up and gave Ernesto a cold look.
"Make sure this interview doesn't appear online. Take care of it."
His tone carried a clear warning. Then he departed with Kaitlin in his arms.
This sudden turn of events caused a commotion backstage, which continued until Alan and Kaitlin had left the scene.
“Mr. Hewitt is really protective of Ms. Gilbert. He was quite attentive just now!"
“Getting upset on behalf of a beauty, impressive!"
"But what a disaster that interview was. Looks like we're in for a long night."
“It's gonna be a long day!"
Ernesto, looking troubled, nonetheless complied with Alan's directive and deleted all photos and videos the reporters had taken.
If those videos were to be manipulated maliciously, it could cause significant problems for Kaitlin.
Given Kaitlin's role as a popular judge in the Estresa Element Design Competition and her visibility online, the event relied heavily on her presence.
Most importantly, Ernesto knew better than to offend Alan.
Alan, still holding Kaitlin, instructed the driver to head to the hospital with a stern command.
Kaitlin shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm just a bit worn out. Let's just go back to the hotel."
After a moment's hesitation, Alan reluctantly agreed.
Back at Gilbert Jewelry, Marcia refined her design for the second round of the competition and consulted with some experts. Finally, her design was complete.
