If the Crawfords wanted to cause trouble now, the Owens couldn’t really do much about it.
“I believe that some of you may have already heard about the misunderstanding between me and the Owens, and I’m sure that everyone wants to know what exactly happened. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the truth!” said Gerald with a laugh.
The moment he said that, Gerald’s men took that as their cue to start playing a video. It was projected on the big screen located in front of the venue.
In the video, a car could be seen parked on a bridge. It was night time and both Yunus Long and Melissa Wayham were present. Moments later, a car drove toward them and out stepped the director of Mayberry News.
“Lissa, I’ll leave the matter regarding Rosalie to you. Your job is just to get her and Gerald together in a room. As for you, Mr. Leach, your job is to expose them when they’re together! You don’t need to worry about the rest, I’ll take care of that. I guarantee that there’s no way that Gerald will be able to clear his name off this!”
“No problem, Mr. Long!”
As they started talking about other things in the video, Rosalie and the other Owens had already stood up in anger.
Rosalie even glared daggers at Lissa, her eyes burning with hatred.
While Lissa’s face was red as a tomato, Yunus’s was deathly pale.
That rendezvous was supposed to be a secret. How on earth was Gerald able to capture footage of that scene in advance? It was impossible!
Yunus then scanned the crowd before eventually resting his gaze on Mr. Leach. He was standing among the group of people who had arrived with Gerald.
“How could you, Mr. Leach?!”
“How could I what? You animal! No, you’re worse than an animal! You know, from the very moment I met you, I knew that you weren’t a good person!” sneered Mr. Leach in response.
Mr. Leach was a cunning person who often worked with two strings to his bow. This was the only reason why he had managed to work with someone like Yunus Long.
“Jerry Len, Yunus Long, and Melissa Weyham! All three of you have almost tarnished the Owens family’s name with this humiliating act! Our family will never allow you to get away with this! We apologize sincerely for our misunderstanding with you, Mr. Crawford! Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be leaving immediately!”
One by one, the members of the Owens family—including Rosalie—stood up and left in a rage.
“By god! Yunus Long is such a sc*mbag!”
Several celebrities and businessmen were also already gossiping about him.
“You… You son of a b*tch! How dare you!” roared Yunus as he dashed toward Gerald, furious.
