The venue was in chaos, and security personnel were deployed to maintain order.
However, the event was grand, and numerous media outlets were invited. All the reporters swarmed
Timothy, trapping him in the middle and making it difficult for him to move.
That was how the media industry worked. For them, scandals were like blood in the water, and they
were the sharks.
Moreover, this was an epic scandal.
Victor's son-in-law, the hottest contender in the city's mayoral election, was actually involved in
embezzlement and illicit affairs.
Who wouldn't want to be the first to report this? Every reporter was eager to devour Timothy alive.
"Mr. Hodgson, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? The situation is getting out of
control." Orlander's secretary hurriedly approached Orlander.
Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Orlander left the spacious stage to his rival with a smile that
suggested he enjoyed watching the spectacle.

wife, lest a bigger spectacle unfold, and we get caught up later."
To prevent the situation from worsening, the Schmidt family increased security personnel to guard both
the front and back doors of the venue.
At this moment, three black cars lined up at the entrance.
As the doors opened, prosecutors, dressed in suits with badges displayed, quickly exited the vehicles.
Leading the way was Silas. His eyes were bright, and he had a solemn expression. It was a far cry
from his playful demeanor in front of his family.
His powerful presence was so intense that it made people hold their breath and refrain from staring.
Upon seeing the procession of prosecutors approaching, the security guard at the entrance was
intimidated.
"Please make way. Don't delay our work." Silas spoke calmly, with a cold and composed expression.
The security guard dared not obstruct, nodding in agreement as he made way for them.
Upon entering the hall, Silas pressed the Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear and contacted Alyssa.
"Lyse, I'm in."
"What? How did it go so smoothly? That's a bit unexpected," Alyssa expressed some surprise.
"Look at who you're talking to. In critical moments, it has to be me—"
Unexpectedly, Silas only managed to keep up the act for three seconds before Schmidt Group's men
swiftly arrived, forming an impenetrable barrier.
"Uh-oh, someone got slapped in the face."
Alyssa's playful laughter echoed in Silas' ear. "It seems it's not as smooth as you imagined."
"Can you see me?" Silas whispered, looking around.
"Of course. Not only can I see you, but I can also see what's happening inside the venue."
On the other end, Alyssa had her chin resting on her hand. From the screen, she watched Timothy
being besieged by the crowd and a pale Victor, who was torn between leaving and staying.

She couldn't help but smile happily. "This is really a must-watch spectacle."
Silas straightened his posture and tightened his tie. "Hmph! Just watch, Lyse. I'll add the most intense
scene to this spectacle today."
"Don't you need to get in first?"
As soon as Alyssa said that, Jasper's warm hand encircled her, gently rubbing her shoulders. "Lyse,
don't worry. As I said, I have people inside. Silas will surely get in."
Alyssa's eyes were narrowed from her smile as she leaned against Jasper's chest.
She had been independent all these years, whether as his wife or a doctor without borders. She was
like a proud and blooming rose with thorns.
But since she had Jasper, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman.
No matter what, he always spoiled her and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.
"Sorry, there's an important event here today. You can't go in," said a Schmidt Group's bodyguard.
"Silas Taylor, prosecutor of Solana City Investigative Bureau."
