Kesha George’s words made Clint Zuckerberg break out in cold sweat.
He looked at Kesha in horror. How dare she say that President Granger was a cuckold? Not to mention that this was all just a rumour. Even if he really was cheated on, no one would dare say it to his face.
As expected, Amos Granger sneered at Kesha. "Really?"
Kesha was a little scared by his smile, but believing that she could trip Eudora George, she nodded. "Yes!"
"Alright," after saying that, Amos turned around and glanced at Clint. "I'll leave this to you."
He then left.
Kesha gawked awkwardly at Clint, "What did he mean?"
Clint smiled faintly and said, "Miss George, it'd be better for you if you own up to the immoral things you’ve done in your life. Otherwise, if I investigate, I'm afraid what I find will embarrass you."
Kesha was stunned. "But I’ve done nothing?"
"Then I won't hold back." After Clint finished speaking, he immediately made a phone call. After a while, he began to list down Kesha’ s wrongdoings.
"You already had a boyfriend when you were 14 and you went through an abortion when you were sixteen."
"You hooked up with your brother-in-law when you were 20, and you even framed your sister along with your brother-in-law."
"And then you dated a married forty-year-old man, and got beaten by his wife on the streets..."
As Clint's words came out, Kesha covered her ears in panic. "Stop, stop, don't say it anymore..."
Clint ignored her. He finished listing everything she had done in her life, and asked her, “Which newspaper would you like your private life to be published on? What do you think of Rosaville City Daily?"
"I don't want it to be published!"
"Then let's do Rosaville City Evening News! It's a good evening entertainment channel. And the cover photo for this... is this close-up photo okay? Or do you want to put some make up on before I take the photo?"
"I beg you. I won't spread rumors anymore. Please let me go this time!" Kesha pleaded miserably. Although the George family had lost their place in society, some of her friends were still well-known. If these things were to get out, who else would befriend her in the future?
It was such a big photo, any details on her face can be clearly seen from it. Would she still be able to go out in the future?
Upon hearing this, Clint shook his head. "It's a pity that I must do what President Granger has ordered me to do." "Then I'll go beg Amos. I'm Eudora's younger sister. Even if it's for the Eudora’s sake, he can't treat me that way!"
Clint’s smile became even colder. "Did you just realize that Miss George is your sister? Previously, you never admitted that she was your sister!"
He pointed his finger accusingly at her.
"Miss Kesha, the news has been sent out. All the evening news channels will publish this around six o'clock tonight. Remember to watch them. Thank you for your cooperation. Goodbye!"
Clint acted as if he was discussing which dress was suitable for her, and then he went on to ruin her reputation.
Before leaving, Clint took a look at Wendy Liam, saying "Miss Liam, this is your subordinate. I'll let you decide what action to take. However, President Granger dislikes those who like to play tricks behind his back the most. You are a smart person and you are also President Granger's saviour. I hope you understand what I’m saying."
Wendy's expression froze. Did Amos see through her? Why didn't he show it?
Kesha's whole body was about to collapse. She thought of Wendy and hurried to grasp onto her.
