The male driver was still uneasy, "If I die, how will I know you've transferred the remaining to my account?"
"You're putting your life on the line for me, do you really think I'd be so heartless, so utterly despicable as to shortchange you that 900 grands? Isnât your life worth more than that? I promised you the money, and you'll get it, just do as I say."
The male driver seemed to waver.
âYour illness is a millstone around your family's neck. Do you really want them to live in debt and struggle after you're gone? Iâll be eternally grateful for you taking care of my problem. I swear on my heart, the 900 grand is yours!â
Finally, she convinced the driver, and he agreed to the deal.
Rudolf watched in disbelief from the audience as Maureen sat at the front table. He never imagined that the gentle and understanding woman he met for the first time could have such a terrifying side.
Back when his ex-wife was hit by a truck and landed in the ICU, he hadn't even known Maureen. So, his meeting Maureen, getting to know her, and eventually standing by her side - it was all orchestrated by her?
Rudolf staggered back.
âIt was you, you hired someone to kill my sister.â Celeste stood up in disbelief, trembling as she pointed at Maureen across the table, âMy sister didnât even know you. She had no ill feelings toward you.â
âNo, it wasnât me. This audio is fabricated by someone else to slander me.â As Maureen spoke, realization dawned on her, and she looked in disbelief towards Dennis and Carol on the stage, âIt was you, you plotted this whole dinner just to throw dirt on me.â
At that moment, the giant screen on stage lit up, showing all the evidence of Maureenâs involvement in the hiring of the hitman, and her later denial of the act.
Now with irrefutable proof, Rudolf was overwhelmed with grief and anger. He rushed down the stage and slapped Maureen hard across the face.
Maureen was stunned, unable to believe the husband who had once adored and spoiled her could hit her in front of so many people.
âIâll kill you,â Celeste, stricken with grief, rushed forward, grabbing an empty bowl and a dish from the table and smashing them onto Maureenâs head.
âWhat are you doing?â Katherine and her brother Meredith were terrified. Katherine tried to intervene, while Meredith hid to the side, fearing heâd be caught in the crossfire.
âYou heartless wretch, Iâll kill you.â Celeste clutched Maureenâs hair, tearing out clumps of the carefully styled locks, âIf it wasnât for you, our car wouldnât have been hit, my sister wouldnât have been crippled, and my brother-in-law wouldnât have rushed to the ICU in a panic, neglecting the kids for a moment. Itâs all because of you.â
Alger Temple was also enraged. If not for all this, their only daughter Crystal would still be alive!
Simonaâs family charged forward, raining blows and kicks on Maureen. Maureenâs family tried to pull them off, and chaos erupted throughout the venue.
Just then, the giant screen lit up again. The secret of Maureen's discontent with the driver's family pestering her for years, and her hidden dealings with a hitman, was exposed for all to see.
