Chapter 678 - Unexpected Reversal (Part 3)

"What if there isn't someone worse?" he asked.

Old West sneered, "Then create someone worse!"

He knew that the "woman" might indeed be planning to "fish" at the bar, or maybe she was just an innocent person. But what did it matter? As long as he made everyone believe she was a bad woman.

As for the impact on her life due to this incident, what did it have to do with him? Even if she jumped off a building or cut her wrists, he would only glance at the headlines in the relevant newspaper reports, not caring about the matter at all.

Call him cold or ruthless; this was the law of society. If you didn't want to be bound by the law, become wealthy enough to be the one making the rules!

"Dad, this is the first time I've seen you so cool!" Cole looked at his father in admiration, realizing that perhaps he had been allowed by his father to take away women before. Otherwise, how could he, not very clever, be his cunning and crafty father's opponent?

Old West felt proud in his heart but maintained a calm exterior. "Learn a bit. You'll take over my company someday. If you don't even have this ability, how will you progress in the business world?"

"I understand! I'll learn from you in the future!" At this moment, Cole genuinely felt that his father was remarkable. Suddenly, he became interested in managing the family business. He wondered if, when he controlled such a large company like his father, he could do whatever he wanted.

Laila, naturally unaware of the West family's little drama, slept soundly and peacefully.

When she woke up the next day, she saw the speculations from the previous night in the newspapers. Nowadays, newspapers like to report on online topics for two reasons: one, "those words are said by people online, even if they say things they shouldn't, it has nothing to do with them"; two, low cost but a lot of attention.

A night and a day were enough to heat up yesterday's topics to the point of being widely known. After reading the newspapers and watching the TV news, Laila spent some time browsing Facebook topics. She felt that the development of the situation exceeded what she had originally designed, almost like a pie falling from the sky, wonderfully indescribable.

Regardless of who was "helping," she felt she should express her thanks. To be so dedicated, and self-sacrificing, what noble sentiments!

Soon, it was time for the evening program. Laila and Roy, along with others, stood in front of the television. The West family members were also glued to the TV. Countless onlookers, many eagerly anticipating the second episode since the end of yesterday's program, knew that today there might be more significant revelations, such as the matter they cared most about: the "minor."

The program started with familiar music, and the familiar face of the host quickly appeared on the screen.

Seemingly aware of what everyone was waiting for, he wasted no time in releasing the videos that weren't shown yesterday.

Amid the countless shocked viewers, the truth of the matter was fully revealed.

This time, the video still followed a reverse chronological order, starting with the aftermath of the fight shown yesterday.

Unlike the fixed surveillance footage, the camera's movement and direction indicated it was following the "woman." Though it occasionally shifted toward other directions, it ultimately returned to the woman.

At this point, viewers were somewhat surprised. They had already noticed a problem: the person shooting wasn't focusing on the bar because it was more interesting but was following the woman, capturing everything that happened.

Some who had seen the online discussions last night and today's news couldn't help but start speculating. Was it really a targeted conspiracy, as some claimed? As long as a woman caught someone, regardless of identity, would she bite down on them like a hungry wolf?

Old West and Cole were shocked to see this. Soon followed by ecstasy, as if they could prove that the woman was intentionally trying to frame him, he had a great chance to escape from this lawsuit!

The video continued. The bar became chaotic due to the dispute between the two men. The camera followed the woman, who took the opportunity to escape through the back door while everyone was distracted.

At this point, the program paused, switching to the host.

"I don't know what everyone is thinking at this point. Anyway, when I saw this, many strange thoughts popped into my head. Is this a prank show, or a conspiracy?" The host shrugged, "Today, I read the news and found that many people believe this woman must be a bad woman, going to the bar for some purpose. I wonder how many people will still think so after watching the next segment?"

Under the insatiable curiosity of countless viewers, several little girls suddenly appeared on the TV, one of whom clearly stated what they were going to do this time. The words she spoke shocked everyone who saw them.

The TV fast-forwarded through the process of obviously underage Kathy being made up to look like an adult beautiful woman. Everyone recognized the well-made-up appearance, isn't it the woman who appeared in the video being approached and drugged by Cole?

Now everyone finally understood why Walton Law Firm's accusation against Cole included one about a "minor."

It turned out that they believed the woman wasn't a real woman but a child who was only fourteen years old!

"Oh no..." Cole saw this scene, his whole person collapsing on the ground. Just a moment ago, he was feeling proud that he was about to escape, but now his mind was filled with images of being bullied in prison.

At that time, he just thought the woman was very beautiful, different from any woman he had met before, with a special charm. That's why he went over to strike up a conversation and even drove away the man who was talking to her.

After chatting for a while, his rich experience told him that this was a woman who wouldn't just chat with him in a few words, so he had wicked thoughts and threw the just-acquired pills into her drink...

If time could be reversed, he would rather cut off his hand than put drugs in her glass!

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. Everything had been exposed. How many people were currently watching the program? 10 million? 20 million? Or even more?

He dared not imagine because he feared that the result of his thoughts would make him collapse.

Old West clutched his chest, his expression almost on the verge of spitting blood. "What have you done? You bastard!"
