“What’s happening here…?” Mrs Maxwell asked, her voice filled with confusion. She stared at the manager in disbelief. “We called you here to send this jerk out. What exactly are you doing?”

Miss Kelly quickly added, “Don’t you know he’s a criminal? He’s probably here to steal something, and we’re not safe. That’s why we called you—to throw him out! So what is going on now?”

    Lea rolled her eyes. She had no interest in talking to Ella, let alone arguing with her. Without saying a word, she turned and headed for the door. But Ella immediately followed after her. "You shameless woman!" Her voice rang through the restroom. "What do you think you're doing? Trying to walk away from me?" Before Lea could react, Ella reached out and grabbed a handful of her hair. "Ouch!" Lea immediately stopped and turned around. A frown appeared on her face as she stared at Ella. "What now?" She gently pulled her hair free. "I don't feel like talking to you, so just leave me alone, okay?" Her expression became annoyed. "Seriously, what's your problem?" But Ella merely scoffed. "Oh, now you don't want to talk?" She folded her arms and laughed mockingly. "Just because you and Dylan managed to win against the Maxwell family, you've suddenly become too important to speak to people?" Lea rolled her eyes again. The woman standing before her was simply impossible t

    Mr. Walter smiled as he stretched out his hand.Dylan accepted it, and the two exchanged a firm handshake."I'm truly sorry for everything the Maxwell family put you through," Mr. Walter said sincerely. "If I had known the truth back then, I would have done something to help."Dylan smiled and shook his head."Don't mention it."His tone was calm and relaxed."That's exactly why I worked so hard to expose everything tonight. People needed to see the truth for themselves."He paused before adding,"I mean, every despicable person who supports schemes like that should be brought to complete ruin. Don't you think so too?"A smile appeared on his face as he looked directly at Mr. Walter.The meaning behind his words was obvious.Dylan wasn't only talking about the Maxwell family.He was indirectly referring to every powerful person who used their influence to manipulate others and hide their crimes.Including people like Mr. Walter himself.Mr. Walter naturally understood the hidden meani

    At that moment, Mr. Walter cleared his throat.The entire venue gradually quieted down as everyone turned their attention toward him.A complicated expression appeared on his face as he looked directly at Mr. Maxwell."I can't believe this is happening..."He slowly shook his head."I mean, I never thought you'd do something like this."His eyes narrowed."I trusted you.""I believed you supported me.""I thought you were someone who wanted to work alongside me and help move this city forward."Then his voice suddenly became colder."But I never imagined you would stab me in the back."Mr. Walter's words echoed throughout the hall.Of course, deep down, he wasn't nearly as surprised as he sounded.He knew exactly what kind of person Mr. Maxwell was.In fact, he had suspected him for years.The only reason he had never acted was because he lacked evidence.Now that evidence had finally appeared.And Mr. Walter had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.Meanwhile, Mr. Maxwe

    The Maxwell family were completely speechless.None of them had anything left to say.They couldn't question the investigator because they knew he was telling the truth.Everything shown on the screen had happened exactly as he described.Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell exchanged panicked looks.For the first time that night, they truly felt cornered.Their usual confidence had completely vanished.No matter how hard they tried to think of an excuse, they couldn't come up with anything convincing.The evidence was simply too overwhelming.The investigator looked directly at Mr. Maxwell before speaking again."Mr. Maxwell, do you have anything to say in your defense?"His voice was calm but firm."Because everything Mr. Dylan showed tonight has been verified."The investigator paused before continuing."And I'm sure you know it happened, so please stop lying."The hall became silent once more.Everyone waited to hear Mr. Maxwell's response.Unfortunately for him, the investigator wasn't finished.

    Dylan had also obtained this information from the system.The system had provided him with all the CCTV footage related to that night, allowing him to review everything that had happened from different angles. After going through the recordings carefully, Dylan selected the clearest and most important clips.Without saying another word, he played the footage on the giant screen behind him for everyone to see.The entire venue immediately fell silent.Every pair of eyes turned toward the screen.No one spoke.No one dared to interrupt.Everyone watched the shocking footage unfold before them.The video showed the events from that night in clear detail.It began with the moment Mr. Walter realized that an important file had gone missing.The footage showed him becoming anxious as he searched for the documents.Guests could be seen helping him look around while security personnel were alerted.At first, nothing seemed unusual.Then the footage changed.A man appeared on the screen.And t

    The audience was left completely speechless.Everyone stared at the screen and then at Emily and Oliver, struggling to process what they had just witnessed."I can't believe this...""I always thought they were a respectable couple.""I never imagined they were cheating behind his back.""What a shame.""What kind of mother says her own daughter can die?"The crowd couldn't stop talking.Many people shook their heads in disappointment.Others looked at Emily and Oliver with open disgust.Just moments ago, the two of them had been standing proudly, mocking Dylan and acting as though they had already won.Now everything had changed.The truth had been exposed right in front of everyone.Their carefully crafted image had shattered beyond repair.Every guest seemed to have something to say about the scandal.Meanwhile, Emily and Oliver sat quietly in their seats.Neither of them spoke.Neither of them dared to.Their faces were pale with shame.They had never expected this outcome.In fac
