The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 83

Every person present, and every viewer watching the live stream, clearly saw the striking red Martyr's Certificate. For a second, it felt as if the entire world had hit pause. The relentless flashes ceased instantly. The tidal wave of hateful comments on the live feed froze. The arrogant, aggressive reporters stood paralyzed. Their smug expressions melted into pure shock, microphones dangling uselessly in the air.

"Th-this... Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Chloe's voice was like ice. "Did Jeremiah Gordon ever give me the chance? He illegally dug up the grave. The second I tried to seek justice, he hired an army of Paid Trolls to manipulate the narrative, dragged my family's name through the mud, and even sent people to physically threaten us into dropping the charges!"

She tapped her phone screen. A smug, condescending voice echoed through the speakers. "If you get on your knees right now, apologize to my brother, and hand over the video you secretly recorded, I might consider having the online posts deleted to help you suppress the backlash..."

Recognizing Jenna's voice, Preston's face drained of color. The reporters' faces cycled from red to white, then to a sickly green. Their mouths opened and closed, but not a single word came out. A few of the rioters stubbornly doubled down.

"E-even if it is a martyr's grave, the man is dead! The living are what matters! You still shouldn't hold up the land!"

A chilling disgust washed over Chloe. Quentin stepped forward, firmly planting himself in front of her. He held up a thick dossier, glaring directly into the cameras.

"This is the Green Mountain Tourism Project championed by Gus Gordon. Anyone with a shred of financial literacy can see this is a hollow shell company designed entirely for fraud. They use the guise of development to siphon government funds. There is zero actual revenue. It's all a scam. And this isn't his only fraudulent project in the county. Look it up yourselves. I've already uploaded the original project documents and the security footage of Jeremiah Gordon assaulting the homeowner to X/Twitter. You can judge for yourselves."
