Chapter 174: Has her father been swapped?

"You…What did you say?" Zaria was taken aback. Did he just say that he was guilty? And with a straight face?

His eyes lowered as he repeated the words that had shattered her brain. "I'm guilty, princess. Don't waste your time on hiring lawyers."

Her mind went blank for a while. When she processed what she had just heard, her voice lowered as she weakly asked, "Why?"

Theodore let out a sigh. "I wanted to be the first to garner a huge scoop. Nothing interesting has been happening lately in Olphire, you know. Scandals are a dream come true for the media. You know this yourself, princess." He explained. "However, you cannot always guarantee that as soon as something happens, your agency will be the first to get the scoop. Reporting a piece of news after someone else does it is not fun either. It only makes it appear as though F&P Media is outdated. What faster way is there for me to capture the news as soon as it happens than to create it myself?"
