Despite the Iversons' effort to suppress it, the livestream scandal kept Charles' reputation plummeting
as if in a contest of blame, with many eager to step on him, relishing the spectacle surrounding the
Iversons.
The drama escalated when an obscure heiress from the Thompson family accused him of attempted
rape, keeping the public interest alive.
As the scandal's intensity refused to wane, Charles remained indefinitely in the crosshairs of the police.
Lance even humbled himself to seek leniency from the police chief. Unfortunately, the top tycoon,
Wyatt, suddenly returned to the headlines after a long absence.
On the office television, a news segment suddenly cut in.
It showed a reporter interviewing Wyatt after a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new project.
The reporter began, "Mr. Thompson, regarding the livestream incident a few days ago, the young
woman who claims to be your daughter..."
"Claims?"
Wyatt's expression instantly darkened, and he countered sharply, "Which media outlet are you from
that you have such a delayed grasp of information? You dare call yourself a reporter?"
His formidable presence left everyone around too intimidated to breathe.
Holding the microphone, the reporter trembled as Wyatt sternly corrected him.
"She's my biological daughter, the youngest princess of the Thompson family. Her mother is my third
wife, Celeste."
Wyatt's expression was particularly stern, but when he mentioned his daughter, a rare warmth
appeared in his sharp, eagle-like eyes. "To me, Bella and Amelia are the apples of my eye. I've kept
Amelia out of the public eye because she's young and still in school. Besides, both Amelia and Celeste
prefer to keep a low profile. I didn't want to disrupt her education and life. That's why I rarely bring her
to public events. Above all, my actions have always been to protect my youngest daughter. However,
my efforts to protect her allowed Charles, that lust-driven monster, to harm my daughter!"
The audience gasped in shock.
Damn, Chairman Thompson's remarks were incredibly harsh!
Despite Wyatt's known close relationship with Lance, he clearly was not holding back for the sake of
his daughter, showing no mercy to the Iversons.
"My daughter has endured unbearable humiliation. I will not allow the Iversons to attempt to settle this
matter privately. I will see this through to the end!"
Wyatt's eyes turned fiery red as he struggled to contain his fury, barely keeping his composure as he
clenched his teeth. "Lance Iverson, if you have any shred of decency left, make your son face the law
and apologize to my daughter! Otherwise, the Iversons will become the number one public enemy of
the KS Group!"
Lance was livid, breathing heavily as he fumbled to turn off the television.
He knew Wyatt was a determined, formidable, and influential man who always followed through on his
words.
This was not just a threat. It was an outright declaration of war!
"Ahem... Chairman Iverson, as you've seen, your son's issue has now seriously escalated and even
involves Chairman Thompson's daughter, making this extremely difficult."
The police chief shook his head. "If it
weren't for that livestream, I could've intervened. However, now the entire country is watching, and the
higher-ups are aware of this incident. If I were to help you now... Not to mention offending Chairman
Thompson, I might even lose my job if the higher-ups find out about this. Perhaps you should have a
proper talk with Chairman Thompson?"
"Talk, talk, talk... What exactly is there really to talk about?!"
If the television had not belonged to someone else, Lance would have smashed it already.
Meanwhile, at Yara Park, while the news featuring Wyatt was airing, the young couple had just woken
up late and finished their morning bath after having spent the night indulging in each other's company.
Wrapped only in a bath towel that barely covered her, Bella sat obediently on a bathroom chair while
Justin dried her hair.
Her hair was thick and silky. As usual, Justin took his time with the hairdryer, carefully combing and
applying hair oil to it. Despite the effort involved, Justin had never shown his impatience. Instead, he
found joy in the task, cherishing every moment. Caring for Bella and treating her well was an addiction
embedded deep within his bones, one he could never shake off.
"Mmm... You're so good at this. It feels amazing..."
Bella's eyes narrowed with contentment. "I'm about to fall asleep again."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer, then?" Justin suggested, leaning in to kiss her cherry-red earlobe.
"No. With Amelia's issue still hanging and Wyatt causing more drama, how could I possibly sleep?"
Bella was scrolling through Twitter
comments, her lips curling into a small smile. "Luckily, Wyatt's recent spectacle has managed to swing
public opinion in Amelia's favor Now, more people are supporting her and the Thompsons, pressing the
Iversons for answers
"Amelia is such a likable girl. Naturally, her popularity is on the rise. Besides, with Chairman Thompson
making their
father-daughter relationship public, it shoul@silence those with ill
intentions. Things seem to be
looking up." Justin commented,
expertly managing her hair like a
seasoned stylist.
"Still, we shouldn't celebrate too soon. Yesterday, my brother told me he could only detain Charles for a
while. Without more evidence, that monster will get released soon." Bella's voice was tinged with
resentment as she bit her lip.
"Don't worry, Bella. This isn't over. There could still be a turnaround."
Just as Justin finished his sentence, Bella's phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen to see a
call from an unfamiliar number.
