Tadeo, who was thin and sickly, also proved that Zayn was acting in self-defense when he mentioned the conflict that night.
He also mentioned, “Ben, known among his peers as Bulldozer, was originally a student at Kitmore High School. Despite repeating his junior year, he failed to qualify for even a second-tier college. Coupled with his frequent disruptions at school, he was eventually expelled and had no choice but to transfer to Kitmore High School. Whether this is true or not, you can verify it yourself.”
Kitmore High School was a key high school’ in the province. It was on par with Kitmore City School.
When a short-haired female reporter heard this, she asked loudly, “When this case happened, both parties finally chose to settle it. The matter was left unsettled, and your future was not affected. But after eight years, you publicly admitted your mistake and exposed your shortcomings. Did you take Zayn’s benefits to overturn the confession from back then?”
Her question spoke the thoughts of the masses.
Tadeo glanced at Ryan uneasily. “We didn’t take any benefits. We just grew up and became sensible. We want to atone for our
sins…”
The short-haired female reporter sneered. “You’re lying!”
She flashed a video. “Late last night, the two of you met Ryan at a bar. There was a thick stack of banknotes on the table. Ryan even pushed the banknotes in front of you. You accepted them too. How do you explain the money?”
The video was obviously taken secretly. Due to the dim lighting in the bar, the video was not very clear. However, the faces of Ryan, Paul, and Tadeo could be recognized.
Hence, it caused an uproar. The audience watching the live broadcast became excited.
Everyone was scolding Zayn and Ryan. Some people even threw mineral water bottles and shoes at Ryan..
Kerise was delighted to see this. She laughed secretly. “What kind of famous lawyer is this? The reporters have already taken photos of you bribing the victim. Let’s see how you can be a lawyer in the future!”
However, Ryan was still calm. He said into the microphone, “Miss, as a reporter, you have failed in your duty again.
“I didn’t give this stack of banknotes to Tadeo and Paul, but Tadeo and Paul wanted to bribe me, just like how they bribed Kerise back then!
“Everyone, please look at the big screen.”
A video appeared on the electronic screen behind him. In the video, in the same corner of the bar, Paul and Tadeo each took out a thick stack of banknotes from their bags, stacked them together, and moved them to Ryan. Ryan shook his head solemnly and moved the banknotes in front of them. After saying a few more words, he stood up and left.
The video ended there, and the public opinion and trend instantly reversed.
Everyone was scolding Elsie and Kerise. [***, is Elsie actually such a person? She betrayed her classmates who helped and protected her for a little money?]
[As expected, the tables have turned again! The fairy girl sure knows how to pretend. On the surface, she looks pure and innocent, but in fact, she’s black-hearted…]
“You’re lying!” Kerise jumped up and shouted fiercely, “I didn’t accept anyone’s bribe!

“Also, Tadeo and Paul have already grown up. They have to know what they are doing and don’t ruin their future!”
Paul covered his face and stammered, “We’re not lying. Our four families did give Kerise a large sum of money back then. We wanted to bribe Ryan last night, but he didn’t accept the money. He even warned us that we had to tell the truth or we would break the law.”
“Mrs. Morin!” Tadeo looked like he was about to cry. “Zayn saved your precious daughter Elsie back then. How can you accuse him for a little money? Even now, you still refuse to let him off. Don’t you feel guilty?”
Kerise roared angrily, “I didn’t take your money. Don’t…”
Ryan interrupted her and said loudly into the microphone, “Everyone, please look at the big screen. These are the bank transfer records of Ben and the other four parties’ families who found someone to transfer money to Kerise.”
On the electronic screen, bank transfer records appeared in front of everyone. It was clearly shown that Lisa and Mask had each transferred 20 thousand dollars and 12 thousand dollars to Kerise on September 27 in a year.

“It’s fake! It’s all fake!” Kerise screamed as she stood up and rushed onto the stage like a lunatic. “You’re slandering me with fake accounts. I’m going to sue you!”
The security guard stopped her in time and sternly advised her not to cause trouble.
Just as she was frantically struggling to shake off the security guard, the bank transfer photo on the electronic screen flashed rapidly. Everyone could not see it clearly and only saw a series of dazzling numbers.
Ryan played the transfer record and said loudly, “As you can see, in just two days, the total amount transferred to Kerise’s account is as high as 500 thousand dollars!”
Paul and Tadeo also shouted into the microphone, “We gave Kerise 500 thousand dollars, but she said it was too little and wanted us to add another 100 thousand dollars… That was 500 thousand dollars! Back then, it could buy a three-bedroom house by the river all cash…”
“Nonsense!” The scene was extremely chaotic and noisy. Kerise was angered by the series of unfavorable actions in front of her. She lost control of her emotions and shouted reflexively, “You only transferred 400 thousand dollars to me! It’s not as much as 500 thousand dollars…”
She shut her mouth abruptly, her mind blank. ‘What… did I say?
The scene instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at her in shock.
The audience in front of the live broadcast screen got excited once
the f**k! This st****id woman
[This woman is too evil! They saved her daughter, but she didn’t thank them and even framed them. She took so much money from the bad person…]
At the scene, Kerise finally came back to her senses and screamed crazily, “I didn’t take any money.
This money was transferred to me without permission. I had no idea!
“You’ve wronged me! You’re slandering me! You’re forcing me to die…”
Ryan interrupted her scream again. “Everyone, please look at the electronic screen. This is Kerise’s bank transfer record. In less than three days, she used the same account to transfer 400 thousand dollars she received in batches to Elsie and her other accounts. Then, she canceled this account.”

After Kerise’s mind went blank for a moment, she finally came back to her senses. She looked down at the stage as if she was drowning and screamed, “Elsie, why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and stand up. Tell everyone how Zayn and Ben pestered you back then. Let everyone know that they’re bad people. Don’t be afraid! I couldn’t beat those bad people back then. In order to protect myself, I could only accept their money. I’ll return the money immediately. Just tell the truth!”
Under everyone’s gazes, Elsie slowly stood up and walked onto the stage like a marionette.
She stood in front of the microphone and slowly took off her mask, revealing a pale, haggard face and swollen eyes.
There was dead silence. Everyone was waiting for her to speak.
She looked around and slowly opened her mouth. “I…”
