The venue was in chaos, and security personnel were deployed to maintain order.
However, the event was grand, and numerous media outlets were invited. All the reporters swarmed
Timothy, trapping him in the middle and making it difficult for him to move.
That was how the media industry worked. For them, scandals were like blood in the water, and they
were the sharks.
Moreover, this was an epic scandal.
Victor''s son-inw, the hottest contender in the city''s mayoral election, was actually involved in
embezzlement and illicit affairs.
Who wouldn''t want to be the first to report this? Every reporter was eager to devour Timothy alive.
"Mr. Hodgson, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? The situation is getting out of
control." Onder''s secretary hurriedly approached Onder.
Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Onder left the spacious stage to his rival with a smile that
suggested he enjoyed watching the spectacle.
"Let''s just quietly enjoy the show. You don''t need to do anything. But make sure to protect me and my
wife, lest a bigger spectacle unfold, and we get caught upter."
To prevent the situation from worsening, the Schmidt family increased security personnel to guard both
the front and back doors of the venue.
At this moment, three ck cars lined up at the entrance.
As the doors opened, prosecutors, dressed in suits with badges disyed, quickly exited the vehicles.
Leading the way was Ss. His eyes were bright, and he had a solemn expression. It was a far cry
from his yful demeanor in front of his family.
His powerful presence was so intense that it made people hold their breath and refrain from staring.
Upon seeing the procession of prosecutors approaching, the security guard at the entrance was
intimidated.
"Please make way. Don''t dy our work." Ss spoke calmly, with a cold andposed expression.
The security guard dared not obstruct, nodding in agreement as he made way for them.
Upon entering the hall, Ss pressed the Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear and contacted Alyssa.
"Lyse, I''m in."
"What? How did it go so smoothly? That''s a bit unexpected," Alyssa expressed some surprise.
"Look at who you''re talking to. In critical moments, it has to be me—"
Unexpectedly, Ss only managed to keep up the act for three seconds before Schmidt Group''s men
swiftly arrived, forming an imprable barrier.
"Uh-oh, someone got pped in the face."
Alyssa''s yfulughter echoed in Ss'' ear. "It seems it''s not as smooth as you imagined."
"Can you see me?" Ss whispered, looking around.
"Of course. Not only can I see you, but I can also see what''s happening inside the venue."
On the other end, Alyssa had her chin resting on her hand. From the screen, she watched Timothy
being besieged by the crowd and a pale Victor, who was torn between leaving and staying.
She couldn''t help but smile happily. "This is really a must-watch spectacle."
Ss straightened his posture and tightened his tie. "Hmph! Just watch, Lyse. I''ll add the most intense
scene to this spectacle today."
"Don''t you need to get in first?"
As soon as Alyssa said that, Jasper''s warm hand encircled her, gently rubbing her shoulders. "Lyse,
don''t worry. As I said, I have people inside. Ss will surely get in."
Alyssa''s eyes were narrowed from her smile as she leaned against Jasper''s chest.
She had been independent all these years, whether as his wife or a doctor without borders. She was
like a proud and blooming rose with thorns.
But since she had Jasper, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman.
No matter what, he always spoiled her and gave her an irreceable sense of security.
"Sorry, there''s an important event here today. You can''t go in," said a Schmidt Group''s bodyguard.
