The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife
Chapter 377 – Sabrina’s determination.

Chapter 377: Chapter 377 – Sabrina’s determination.

"What do they want?" Sabrina forced herself to remain calm, as she had never faced the media alone before.

She remembered that both times she had dealt with the media, she was with either Robin or Martin.

Now that one of those men had betrayed her and the other was in trouble, it was time for her to stand on her own.

Aria was afraid that if Sabrina knew, she would leave Robin for good. But with the presence of the media, she could not hold it in.

"Have you not heard? I don’t think Mr. Jewel would do that. Maybe someone drugged him," she took a stand, hoping that Sabrina wouldn’t go into premature labor because of this.

"How long has the news been trending?" Sabrina asked calmly, trying to gauge whether the news had traveled far or not.

If it hadn’t, she could face the media to counter it and slow down the spread. "Like twenty minutes."

Sabrina’s heart warmed a little, knowing that all was not lost. She needed someone to take down the news and also knew that the media were only there to test her resolve on the effect of the news on her.

"So, it wasn’t long before I woke up. Daniel is still on his honeymoon and I don’t think it would be right to disturb him. Let me call my brother," she thought aloud.

Sabrina was about to dial Devin’s number when she saw the phone ringing. It was her father and she tensed up, fearing that he was going to tell her to break off the engagement and come home.

Before Cobby could say anything, Sabrina interjected, "Dad, please don’t judge him. Someone tried to set him up in the office before but failed. I think it’s the same person behind it."

On the other end of the line, Cobby felt a sense of relief as he had expected Sabrina to be upset with Robin.

Cobby didn’t believe the news, especially since there were no videos, only pictures. He couldn’t tell if Robin was in his right mind without a video, and he suspected that one of Robin’s enemies was involved.

"I’m glad you feel that way. I thought you would be upset," Cobby said with a smile. Sabrina forced a small smile and replied,

"No. I want to go to the hotel to check on him, so I’m calling Devin to come and get me."

Cobby frowned, not liking the idea. He asked her, "Have you called Robin?"

"You’re right. I should call him," Sabrina agreed.

She ended the call and dialed Robin’s number, but only heard the robotic voice telling her that the phone was switched off.

She wanted to call the bodyguard but realized she didn’t have his number, so she called Devin. She was slightly surprised when a female voice answered.

"Brina, Devin is busy because Lizzy isn’t around. I’m trying to help, but I can’t do much because I don’t have much knowledge in fashion design," Matilda said from the other end of the line.

Ever since buying the car for Devin, she began working on her business but was always with Devin since her business had not kickstarted yet.

It was easy when Lizzy was around, but since she went on her honeymoon, Devin would sometimes have to work overtime to cover up.

"It’s urgent, Tilda, I have to talk to him," Sabrina maintained the calmness in her voice, though her heart rate increased.

However, her teary voice did not go unnoticed by Matilda. "Why are you crying? Should I come over?" Matilda asked worriedly, afraid that Sabrina was in labor.

Then again, she kicked against it, knowing she would be the first person Sabrina would call if she was indeed in labor. "Okay, let me give him the phone." Sabrina heard her speaking on the side. "It’s your sister. She said it’s urgent."

Devin stopped whatever he was doing and took the phone from her, asking, "Brina, are you alright? Where is Robin?"

"His phone is switched off. Can you check the Crystal hotel? There are so many media reps here, so I don’t want to go out," Sabrina composed herself and said. Devin frowned in confusion.

"Media reps? What do they want?"

Sabrina confirmed her suspicions that Devin had not heard the news. If he had, he would have been the first to call or even gone in search of her.

"Check the trending news, but I know that Robin is innocent. Please check on him," Sabrina pleaded, careful not to upset Devin about Robin.

"Okay. I will do so, but where are you?" Devin asked seriously, filled with worry for Sabrina upon learning that something had happened to Robin.

"In his office. He attended the meeting on my behalf because I wasn’t feeling well," Sabrina revealed. Devin’s worry grew as he decided to find ways to make it to her on time.

"Don’t worry. I will see you soon," Devin reassured Matilda. He wanted to take her to keep Sabrina company, but he also needed to check on Robin first. He pleaded with Matilda,

"Tilda, let me drop you at my father’s office while I check on Robin. If he indeed knows nothing about it, he would be embarrassed by your presence."

"I understand," Matilda agreed.

At Robin’s office, Sabrina washed her face to feel a little refreshed. Aria was worried because of calls from the security at the entrance wanting to know whether or not to let the media reps in.

"What do we do now? Should I tell security to send them away? I can also get HR or some of the CEOs to come and handle it," she suggested.

Sabrina wanted to agree but then again, could not allow herself to hide in a situation like this. "No. I will meet the media myself."

Aria was afraid, especially in Sabrina’s condition, as she knew how ruthless these people could be with their words and advised against it, "Sabrina, I won’t advise it."

However, the defiance and determination in Sabrina’s words forced hope into her heart. She never knew Sabrina to be so tough.

"Robin is willing to do anything for me. Even though I can’t reach him, I can at least mitigate some of the damage before we ask Daniel to take down the news," Sabrina said. Aria conceded, acknowledging her authoritative tone.

"Okay, I’ll stand by you for moral support," Aria agreed.

"I’ll be there to defend you," Laura declared firmly.

With the support of the women, Sabrina found some solace as she fought back tears and resolved to protect the Jewel Group from the shame of the scandal.
