Mated To An Alpha

Public Opinion

Chapter 4

A female newscaster stood in the heart of the bustling city, a microphone in her hand while a cameraman filmed the busy streets. Cars drove past, pedestrians slowed down out of curiosity, and the words BREAKING NEWS flashed across the screen.

The camera focused on the reporter.

"Hello, everyone. This is Telenews Communication, bringing you the latest updates regarding the shocking allegations made against Alpha Regaleon Doorson Heist. We are here to hear what the public thinks about these accusations. Do you believe the allegations are true, or do you think Alpha Regaleon is being falsely accused?"

The reporter approached the first passerby, a middle-aged woman carrying grocery bags.

"Ma'am, what are your thoughts on the allegations against Alpha Regaleon?"

The woman smiled politely before answering.

"Honestly, I don't believe those reports at all. They're not facts—they're only allegations. People are so quick to judge without knowing the truth. I think someone is trying to ruin Alpha Regaleon's reputation."

"Thank you so much for sharing your opinion with us. Telenews Communication appreciates your time."

"You're welcome."

The reporter thanked her before moving toward another citizen.

"Sir, may we know your opinion regarding the accusations against Alpha Regaleon?"

The elderly man adjusted his glasses before speaking confidently.

"First of all, I would like to appreciate Alpha Regaleon for everything he has done for this county. He has invested in businesses, created jobs, and improved agriculture tremendously. Thousands of families have benefited from his generosity. A man like that doesn't deserve to be condemned without solid proof. As far as I'm concerned, these are nothing but false allegations."

"Thank you for speaking with us today. Telenews Communication truly appreciates your time."

"My pleasure."

The interview continued as more residents willingly shared their opinions.

A young university student stepped forward.

"I strongly believe these accusations are fake. Alpha Regaleon has helped not just our county but many communities around the world through his companies and charity projects. Until there is real evidence, I'll continue supporting him. Everyone deserves a fair investigation before being judged."

"Thank you for expressing your opinion."

"You're welcome."

The cameraman shifted his lens toward another passerby—a businessman dressed in an expensive navy-blue suit.

The reporter smiled.

"Sir, what do you think about the ongoing investigation?"

The man folded his arms.

"Alpha Regaleon isn't perfect. No human being is. But accusing him of murdering his own father? That's difficult for me to believe. Yes, everyone knows his relationship with his father's side of the family hasn't always been peaceful, especially regarding the family company. But family disagreements don't automatically make someone a murderer."

"Thank you for taking the time to speak with us."

"It's my pleasure."

As the interviews continued, the opinions became increasingly divided.

A young woman wearing sunglasses interrupted before the reporter could ask.

"I don't know if he's innocent or guilty. All I'm saying is that money gives powerful people the ability to hide things. Maybe the allegations are true. Maybe they're not. I just hope the police find the truth."

The reporter nodded respectfully.

"Thank you for your honest opinion."

Nearby, a group of workers gathered around.

One of them shook his head.

"I've worked for one of Alpha Regaleon's companies for six years. The salaries are always paid on time, and our working conditions improved because of him. I can't imagine him committing such a terrible crime."

Another worker disagreed.

"We shouldn't defend anyone simply because they're rich or generous. If he's innocent, the investigation will prove it."

The two exchanged glances before walking away, leaving the viewers with different perspectives.

Not everyone in the crowd believed the same story.

Social media had become flooded with thousands of comments.

Some users posted messages supporting Alpha Regaleon.

#JusticeForAlpha

#WeStandWithRegaleon

Others demanded immediate justice.

#ArrestAlphaNow

#TruthMustBeRevealed

Television stations replayed the allegations every hour.

Newspapers printed bold headlines.

Radio presenters debated the issue throughout the day.

Within only a few hours, the news had spread beyond the county. Neighboring cities and foreign countries had begun discussing the mysterious case involving one of the world's most influential businessmen.

Inside coffee shops, restaurants, offices, and shopping malls, people argued passionately about whether Alpha Regaleon was guilty or innocent.

Some believed jealousy was behind the accusations.

Others believed someone powerful was manipulating the investigation.

Meanwhile, inside the grand headquarters of Doorson Heist Group, employees could hardly concentrate on their work.

Conversations echoed through every department.

"Do you really think our CEO did it?"

"I don't know..."

"He doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"But why would the news accuse him if there wasn't something suspicious?"

"No one knows the full story yet."

Security around the company had been tightened.

Journalists waited outside the gates, hoping Alpha Regaleon would appear and make a public statement.

Camera flashes lit up the entrance every few seconds.

However, the enormous glass doors remained closed.

No official response came from Alpha Regaleon.

The silence only fueled more rumors.

Back at Telenews Communication, the producer signaled that only a minute remained before the live broadcast ended.

The reporter faced the camera one final time.

"Public opinion remains deeply divided as the investigation into Alpha Regaleon Doorson Heist continues. While many citizens believe these allegations are false and politically motivated, others insist that only a thorough investigation can uncover the truth. Authorities have yet to release any official evidence, and the public eagerly awaits further updates."

She smiled professionally.

"That concludes today's special report from Telenews Communication. Stay tuned as we continue to bring you verified updates on this developing story. Thank you for watching. Have a wonderful evening, and goodbye."

As the cameras stopped recording, no one noticed a dark SUV parked several meters away from the newsroom.

Its tinted windows concealed the occupants inside.

One man quietly lowered a pair of binoculars.

"They've managed to sway public opinion," he muttered.

Another man's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Let them."

He slowly closed a black folder resting on his lap.

"The public only knows what we allow them to know."

The SUV drove away without attracting attention, disappearing into the evening traffic.

Elsewhere, someone sat alone in a dimly lit room, silently watching every interview replay on multiple television screens.

Without saying a single word, the mysterious figure picked up a phone.

"It's time," the person whispered.

The call ended immediately.

Outside, thunder rumbled across the darkening sky as if warning that something far more dangerous was about to unfold.
