Irene clearly could not stop Bethan’s advances. Old Mr. Gordon is already checking up on both her legs.
Irene’s face turned to ash.
In front of the reporters’ cameras, Old Mr. Gordon’s assistant slowly broke off the cast on Irene’s leg.
“What nonsense! “
After taking off the cast, Old Mr. Gordon did not even touch Irene when he sneered and said, “I have been an orthopedic doctor for so many years. Not once have I seen a case like this when both legs have been broken! Perhaps, she might have been injured when she jumped off the building, but it’s not serious! “
Then, Old Mr. Gordon took the small hammer that was used to break off the cast and gently knocked against Irene’s leg. “Miss, does it hurt?”
Irene was in pain. She was in so much pain she almost cried, but to continue the act, she could only force her tears down. “It does not hurt.”
“How could it not hurt?”
Old Mr. Gordon sneered, “
Whether you broke your leg or not, the place that I hit should hurt. Stop pretending.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Old Mr. Gordon was a world -renowned orthopedic specialist. At such an old age, he would not ruin his own reputation for such things!
Even if Theo and Bethan were rich, they would not be able to get such a respectable man to lie!
Therefore… Irene’s legs were not broken?
The emcee had an ugly expression. “Ms. Cook, what is going on?”
“Yes, what is going on?”
“Ms. Cook, are you truly trying to hype this up, fooling everyone for sympathy?”
“Please answer us!”
Irene’s face has lost all of its colors.
Irene secretly clenched her fists.
The entertainment company initially promised her that after the press conference, they would start preparing a live show for her. They would also send her for small cosmetic procedures and get her advertisements.
She could have a bright future!
All thanks to Bethan, she lost everything… No! This could not happen!
Irene gritted her teeth hard. She was a poor student coming from the countryside. It took so hard for her to finally have the opportunity to climb up the social ladder. She would not give up! She could almost feel it, there was only a step left!
Irene glared at Bethan grudgingly. There was loathing in her eyes.
In a short moment, she cried again.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Irene wiped her tears and said while crying. “Both my legs are not broken, but… I didn’t mean to lie to all of you! “
The entire venue was in silence.
The reporters aimed their microphones at Irene, waiting for her to speak.
Irene wiped her tears. She could not help but sob, “I was really forced into desperation by Bethan, that was why I chose to jump off the building. I truly wanted to die, but I was rescued in the end. Not only did I not die, but my legs were not broken as well.
“I deliberately pretended that my legs were broken so that I could attract all your attention on one hand, getting all of you to help me.
“On the other hand…”
Irene sobbed and looked at Bethan. “I’m afraid that if Bethan knew that my injuries were not that serious, she would use a more cruel tactic against me…”
She said with all her heart as if she was truly afraid that Bethan might target her once more.
Behind Irene, Bethan got Theo to hold onto Yvonne while laughing a little.
“Irene, are you still pretending? I bet you don’t know, the company that you signed on with had closed down ten minutes ago.”
Irene turned around and glared at Bethan in shock. “
Impossible! How could this happen! “
Bethan laughed gently and opened a news article, projecting it on the huge screen.
It was the news on the closure of the company that Irene signed on with.
The real person controlling the company in the background was Mr. Walter the butler.
On the surface, the company was a media entertainment company, but secretly, they have done a lot of unseemly things.
The night before, Nigel spent the entire night hacking into their system and sent all the evidence of the crimes they committed to the police.
Bethan and Nigel have strictly calculated the time from reporting them to the appearance on the news.
It had to happen just when Irene was holding the press conference.
Irene looked at the news. She was in total bafflement.
H-How… could this have happened? The people from the company even described to her a perfect blue plan for her future.
How could this be…
“Wake up.”
Theo looked at Irene coldly. “Do you think they really wanted to give you a life that you wanted? Do you think you have any commercial value? It’s only because you were stupid and crazy enough to have a feud with Bethan, so they deliberately used you to target Bethan, that’s all! “
Irene immediately slumped to the ground from her wheelchair. Her world seemed to have collapsed on her in that instant.
“T–This… is… i–impossible. Impossible…” “Irene.”
Bethan walked over and said flatly, “We’re live now. Have you ever thought that you would not be able to survive in Banyan City in the future because of this incident?”
Irene bit her lips. She was trembling terribly.
“I…”
“There is a chance to redeem yourself.”
Bethan chuckled. She moved aside and pointed to Yvonne, who was being apprehended by someone behind her.
Bethan said, “As long as you tell me, what relationship do you have with her? That’s all.”
Irene bit her lips. She raised her head and looked at Yvonne.
“Me and her… actually, everything I said and did today was taught by her!”
Then, Irene took out her phone from her pocket.
“I was afraid that she would not keep her word, so I secretly took a video! “
Bethan took Irene’s phone over, opened the video, and projected it onto the huge screen.
“How could this be planned by Yvonne Walter?”
In the president’s office at Morrison Group Tower,
Lucas was stunned looking at the live broadcast on the computer screen.
“Sir, Yvonne Walter, if I remembered correctly, is Mrs. Morrison’s good friend, right?”
Brettley leaned back on his chair and looked at the screen. He narrowed his eyes a little.
“As long as you cooperate with us, you will have an extreme ly bright and limitless future.”
At the press conference, on the huge screen, Yvonne’s fierce expression and tone rang through.
“You have to be firm that you are being targeted by Bethan.”
