He quickly scrolled through the relevant posts and comments.

Paparazzi clearly captured Connor pushing a wheelchair, with Haylie seated in it, her hand bandaged, oozing fresh blood. Bee was not in the photo.

Multiple photos from different angles clearly showed Connor's face, leaving no room for doubt about their authenticity.

Comments from netizens flooded in, filled with various speculations and conjectures.

[What is the relationship between these two? Why was Connor at Haylie's house early in the morning?]

[Is our darling Haylie okay??]

[Do you guys think Haylie knows about the issues with Capital Solutions?]

[Are you kidding me? She's York's fiancée. How could she not know!]

[Haylie is also making a killing. Give me back my hard-earned money!]

[No wonder York has been hiding abroad for months. Bring him back ASAP!]

[I think Haylie definitely didn't know, otherwise why would she come back to the country?]

[Haylie, you pay back what your fiancé owes!]

[Haylie is such a schemer. She knows York is unreliable, so she came back to find a new sugar daddy.]

[Mr. Connor, don't be fooled. Haylie will do anything to climb the ladder.]

[Haylie is not like that! She even attempted suicide! Do you want her dead to be satisfied?]

[Haylie hasn't posted a picture with York for two months. Could they have broken up?]

[Haylie, just break off your engagement and be with Mr. Connor!]

[Let's root for the Haylie-Connor pairing!]

Connor, looking at the sharp comments on Twitter, furrowed his brows deeply. He immediately dialed Camila's number, wanting to explain everything to her.

When Camila saw Connor's call, she took a deep breath. After picking up, she said, "Mr. Connor, there's an emergency at home. I already asked Alan for leave." Camila's voice sounded tense. Connor's heart tightened. "What happened?" he asked urgently.

"It's a family matter, Mr. Connor. I'm a bit busy right now. I'll talk to you when I'm back at work. Gotta hang up now." Camila's voice was hurried.

The line went dead with a beep, leaving only the dial tone. Connor held his phone, and his emotions were mixed. He needed to act fast to prevent the public opinion from deteriorating further. Just as he was about to call the PR team, his phone rang. It was a call from his grandfather, Ray.

Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone.

"People from the Passos family should not be seen in entertainment headlines!" Ray's voice came through the receiver, firm and authoritative.

Connor gripped his phone tighter, feeling the anger in his grandfather's words. "Grandpa, I'll handle it as soon as possible."

"Our family has always been clean, never involved in the filthy air of the entertainment industry. But now look at you, not only getting involved with celebrities but also causing a media storm! I don't like this actress!"

Ray's tone conveyed deep displeasure.

"She's just a friend," Connor explained.

"That's good! The corporate PR team will contact you." Ray's tone softened a bit.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll handle it quickly," Connor promised.

"Don't even think about marrying that woman," Ray said before hanging up.

After ending the call, Connor immediately got in touch with the PR team. He requested them to swiftly develop a comprehensive crisis management plan.

He discussed it with the PR team, and then a statement was released explaining clearly his relationship with Haylie. He emphasized that he and Haylie were just friends.
