SWNOVELS Chapter 485
Chapter 485 The video was exposed
After returning to the eighth from the tenth floor, Lucia sat in the ward and looked at Paula who was lying on the bed She finally was relieved.
She might be found by Merlin if he didn't get a phone call.
The Kelly family's conversation she just overheard in the corner on the tenth floor flashed through her mind over and over again.
At that moment, someone opened the ward door. A clear female voice came. "Lucia, I'm sorry. I'm late. Something happened suddenly.”
Hearing that, Lucia turned her head. She saw Mandy come into the ward and smiled at her, saying softly, "It's okay."
Mandy had previously promised Lucia to escort Paula with her to receive treatment abroad. Yesterday, she came over three days earlier to get familiar with Paula's condition.
After the Basic testing, Mandy sat down and chatted with Lucia. Because they were good friends, they got a lot of common topics. After chatting with Mandy for a while, Lucia felt much better. "Can you still remember Derick Wilkerson from our school before? His nickname was "little fatty’, but now he was completely different from what he was before. I saw his picture on my Moments today. Let me show you..
Mandy was outgoing. They could chat for a long time when they were talking about the things that happened at school before.
Lucia smiled. "Really? I am a little curious.”
Mandy took out her cell phone and browsed her Moments. After a while, she showed the picture to Lucia
Lucia smiled. "He is indeed much more handsome. But, how did you get his number?”
Mandy laughed and winked at Lucia, saying mysteriously, “It's a secret.”
Suddenly, Lucia felt as if they went back in time when they were sharing all the things with each other. Lucia felt that their relationship was closer.
"Look! This guy was funny."
Mandy kept browsing her Moments. They were so intimate that they looked like best friends who were sharing the gossip.
"He said he has the video Jeanne recorded for August before she suicide. And he said with conviction that Jeanne committed suicide by slashing her wrists. Who would believe it?"
Hearing that, Lucia stiffened. She looked at the Moments Mandy was browsing and clenched her fist subconsciously.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "Who is he?"
Mandy replied carelessly, "He is one of my friends. We have hung out together before. He seems to be the founder of some kind of a private detective studio.”
"I don't know if he said that because he wants to get himself public attention. Anyway, I saw him in the chat group yesterday saying he was waiting for a high bidder, he will sell this video to the highest bidder. And he said that if no one would buy the video, he would use it to blackmail the Kelly family. I do not know if it is true...”
Mandy said it carelessly, while Lucia bore it in mind.
Lucia knew that the Kelly family didn't want to let the public know about Jeanne's suicide when she overheard their conversation in the corner on the tenth floor just now. Because the pressure of public opinion was too much. If something happened, the Kelly Group would be the one who lost the most.
Now, that guy said he had the video Jeanne recorded before she suicide, which means it would confirm the seicide of Jeanne if the video was exposed. Then, everything Martin had done to suppress public opinion had been in vain, and the Kelly Group would also be affected..
Suddenly, Lucia thought of something. She looked at Mandy and took a deep breath. "Mandy, send me the number of this guy.”
She was intending to teach the Kelly family and Jeanne a lesson, Now, she got a chance.
The next morning, a video was exposed online, spreading all over the internet.
An unknown account posted a video. In the video, Jeanne apologized to August and asked him to forgive her and not divorce her Finally, she took a knife and slashed her wrists with her own hands. With the video exposure, all the speculation of the first two days finally had a definite result. Jeanne committed suicide by slashing her wrists because August had mercilessly divorced her. Instantly, a lot of comments about it spread all over the internet. The netizen was speculating what the thing unforgivable Jeanne had done to August was. Was it cheating? Was it betrayal? Or something else? In the morning, the Lion Group and the Kelly Group were in chaos. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden exposure of the video. The Department of Public Relations was completely paralyzed, and no matter how much money was spent, nothing worked.
Lucia sat in the bedroom at home and watched the farce.
She knew clearly how powerful public opinion was. Out of curiosity, people would be definitely curious about what the thing that Jeanne was saying in the video was. Since August was unwilling to give the evidence to her, she would let the netizen find out.
Also, with the exposure of that kind of video, the Kelly Group would lose a lot. Kill two birds with one stone.
Lucia bought the video from that guy and she didn't care about where the guy got the video at all. As long as the video had the effect, nothing was important.
Meantime, the Kelly Group was already in chaos.
Martin was furious in his office and broke the cup. The head and deputy head of the Department of Public Relations lowered their heads to listen to his lecture, not even daring to move.
"Did I pay you guys to come and play? Get out of here! Both of you!"
Martin had an icy expression. He was so furious that his veins were clearly visible.
The two guys from the Department of Public Relations got out of the office immediately. Martin was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the office, but he had no idea what to do.
These days, Martin was so afraid that the public would know about Jeanne's suicide. But unluckily, it still happened.
"Dad, I don't think this is as simple as it seems!"
Merlin walked to Martin and said with conviction, "And it probably has something to do with August. We all don't know the existence of the video, and Jeanne sent the video to August after she slashed her wrists. No one else has this video except him. Why was the video exposed? It must be him who posted the video online!"
Merlin's words reminded Martin. Martin frowned and understood suddenly. "Yeah, you are right!" But Martin was confused after a few seconds. "But, he couldn't gain any profit if he exposes this video."
Merlin refuted immediately. "No. At least, it can prove to the public that his divorce from Jeanne was not his fault!"
Instantly, Martin fell silent.
After a while, Martin gritted his teeth. He took a deep breath and instructed Merlin. "Take our men and go to the Lion Group!" August not only divorced her daughter but also wanted to destroy the Kelly Group ruthlessly. Martin wouldn't let August get what he wanted
Hearing that, Merlin responded immediately. "Okay, dad. I'll do it now!"
Half an hour later, a group of the Kelly Group's people rushed to the Lion Group. They hit the security guard and burst into the hall.
At the moment, August was sitting at his desk and listening to the work statement from his men. Suddenly, someone opened the office door. Burton came in hurriedly and said with a serious expression, "President Adams, Martin was here with his men. And he smashed up our corporate lobby."
