“Gosh! Who did this?! This is incredible!”
“They’ve accumulated so much evidence and chose such a critical moment to release it. They’re really out to destroy Theodore!”
“Could it be Mayor Solloway? After all, they are major rivals in this election.”
“It’s possible, but do the Solloways really have such capability? Whoever is behind this must be even more formidable!”
The relentless flashes of the cameras captured Theodore on stage, paralyzed and shaking, documenting his embarrassing predicament. Some reporters were not satisfied with just photographs. They surged toward the stage and pointed their cameras at him.
“Councilman Savoy! Is everything displayed on the screen factual?!”
“Did you take bribes? Have you engaged in any unauthorized dealings for personal gain?!”
Theodore’s teeth clattered uncontrollably as he staggered backward. “That wasn’t me! Someone photoshopped me into it. Someone is trying to frame me!”
“What about the ledger? How do you explain that?!”
“It’s fake! It’s all fake! I didn’t take that money! I never did!”
Sweat soaked Theodore’s face. He cried out in panic. “Where’s the security?! Come maintain order!”
As the scene descended into chaos with the media besieging his son-in-law and one scandal after another exploding like landmines, Lance became infuriated. His face darkened rapidly.
“Go and find out what’s going on immediately!”
Lance’s eyes reddened, and his breathing was uneven with fury. “This is clearly an attack on my son-in-law, but they’re actually aiming at the Iversons! Who on earth has such audacity to go after us?!”
“Alright, Dad. I’ll look into it right away!”
Realizing that the situation was out of control, James urgently suggested, “Let’s take advantage of the situation and get you out of here now. After all, Theodore is your son-in-law. If he’s in trouble, it’ll probably affect you too.”
“No way!”
