Two men’s voices blared from the speakers in the banquet hall, and the room fell silent as their words filled the air.
“Mr.
Gold, if I wasn’t trying to make money for you, why would I replace a good-quality mattress with something so shoddy? That brat of a new manager found out and even fired me for it.
Now I can’t even find a job in Savrow.
You must help me!”
“Don’t say that it’s all for me.
Didn’t you also make a lot of money from this? The kickbacks I gave you weren’t a small sum.
Even if you don’t work for the rest of your life, you won’t starve to death.
”
The voices were unmistakable—one was Michael’s, the other Zeke’s.
The reporters were stunned by this shocking revelation.
Zeke, drenched in sweat, gripped the edge of the table, his legs almost giving way beneath him.
“What is this?! Who played this?! Turn it off now!”
The speakers went silent, but images appeared on the projector—a slideshow of Michael and Zeke entering and leaving a nightclub.
“Mr.
Gold! This is different from what you promised me! You said you would protect me!”
— “I am protecting you.
Now that this has gotten out, I haven’t admitted anything or pushed you out to take the blame.
Michael, nothing will happen to you if you just keep your mouth shut.
If you dare talk nonsense, I will make sure that you suffer!”
These photos and recordings were irrefutable evidence.
The flashing lights in the banquet hall were blinding.
Zeke, red-faced and furious, shouted, “This is all fake! It’s all fake! That’s not me in the recording! Someone framed me!”
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the hall.
The door to the banquet hall swung open, and two rows of men in suits with red badges entered, lining up on both sides.
The sound of their expensive leather shoes against the floor echoed through the room, and all eyes turned toward a pair of strong, masculine legs.
Axel, his handsome face stern, led the team of investigators straight to Zeke.
“Zeke Gold, President of Gold Corporation, you’re under arrest for bribery and malfeasance.
The evidence is conclusive, and KS Group has officially lodged a report.
Please come with us to assist in the investigation.
”
“Nonsense! I didn’t do anything! It’s not me!”
Two investigators moved quickly, subduing Zeke, who struggled wildly.
They dragged him out of the banquet hall.
All the cameras focused on Zeke as the scene unfolded live.
The internet went wild.
[What a shocking reversal! This press conference is more exciting than a TV show!]
[It turns out that KS Group is the victim! Zeke Gold is so shameless as to paint himself as the victim.
People were criticizing KS Group for no reason!]
[Zeke’s words really mean nothing.
How revolting!]
[This is so exciting! Who released this evidence? What a timely appearance!]
Ian clapped his hands in glee.
“This time, the Gold family won’t be able to get away with it.
They can’t cause trouble anymore!”
Justin’s lips parted slightly, his face calm.
“This is a setup.
”
“Huh?!” Ian’s surprise was palpable.
“KS Group knew that Zeke would try to blame Michael, so they had the reporter ask those questions to provoke him.
That’s why Zeke used Michael as a scapegoat.
Then they struck the final blow by releasing the conclusive evidence of Zeke and Michael’s collusion.
”
“You mean… that reporter was hired by KS Group?!” Ian’s shock was evident.
