Emily sneered, “Don’t bluff as if we’re all fools. I was only a working woman——how could I think that the Great Marshal is poor? Don’t you pull tricks on us.”
“Is that so?” As he spoke, Zeke took out a thumb drive. “Fine, you can see the evidence for yourself.”
Zeke reached for his phone and handed it to Dawn. “Dawnie, please show everyone the video and voice recording on the projector.”
“Sure!” Dawn answered with excitement as she knew that there must be solid proof in the thumb drive.
In the meantime, Emily was getting anxious.
Zeke seems so certain and confident. Is there any evidence in the thumb drive?
No, I can’t let him play the video in public.
Emily commanded the security guards, “Security, stop her! She’s here to cause trouble on purpose.”
“Yes!” Ten security guards surrounded Dawn and stopped her in her tracks.
A sense of frustration welled up within Zeke.
It’s too bad that I can’t reveal the truth that I’m not injured, so I can’t fight them personally.
Next, he shot a glance at the entrance. “Come on out.”
Whoosh!
A figure darted in through the entrance. In the blink of an eye, he had approached the security guards and knocked down all ten of them.
The figure was none other than Mr. Collins.
Since Zeke himself could not fight for a period of time, Mr. Collins was his bodyguard and henchman for the time being.
Mr. Collins sent the ten security guards flying toward the guests and crashing against a few tables.
The venue became chaotic.
Pieces of broken plates shattered around and cut the guests’ faces.
There was no way to carry on with the Grand Ceremony.
Everyone gaped at Mr. Collins in astonishment.
Despite his old age, his fighting skills are exceptional. He can take down ten burly men at the same time!
Is he not worried about getting himself hurt?
Mr. Collins patted Dawn’s shoulder in encouragement. “Go ahead, girl. I’ll kill anyone who blocks you.”
“Thank you, Sir,” Dawn replied sweetly before walking toward the projector.
Agitated, Emily shrieked, “Bodyguards, seize him!”
Emily’s bodyguards were much more skilled compared to the security guards.
These bodyguards were the elites whom Julian had handpicked from the army. They completely outmatch the security guards, who were only here to maintain order.
However, they still could not stand against Mr. Collins, who again defeated all of them effortlessly.
Zeke had taught Mr. Collins the Skill of Berserk, which was one of the Eight Supreme Skills.
Therefore, Mr. Collins now had the strength of a Platinum Archduke.
Even if Julian himself came, he still could not compete with Mr. Collins.
In the meantime, Dawn had made it to the projector. She started to play the thumb drive’s video on the projector.
All guests stared curiously at the screen and could not wait to find out the secret in the thumb drive.
Soon, a video appeared on the screen.
It was a recording of Zeke and Emily’s wedding day.
During the wedding ceremony, Emily openly declared that she wanted to break up with Zeke because he was poor.
She utterly humiliated Zeke and trampled on his dignity.
As a result, Zeke had to marry her bridesmaid, Lacey Hinton.
The crowd became baffled, and all worked up.
But that was not the end.
After the video, Dawn played a voice recording of a conversation between Julian and Emily.
Julian instructed Emily to accuse Zeke of abandoning his first wife and marrying her best friend. He attempted to ruin Zeke’s reputation and portray him as a womanizer.
Emily agreed without a second thought.
This revelation caused an outcry among the crowd.
Now everyone knew that this was a conspiracy.
Zeke was not a womanizer, but Emily was a hypocrite.
