Chapter 100: Mason Everett Goes to Jail

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Mason Everett Goes to Jail

The reporters at the scene were stunned by Stella Shaw’s words.

’A more complete video?’

’The version Mason Everett posted online wasn’t the complete one?’

Onstage, Stella Shaw took out the USB drive Sienna Everett had given her, plugged it into a computer, and played the video.

The video showed the living room of the Everett family home.

Morgan Everett, his face contorted with rage, glared at Sienna Everett standing by the sofa. "Sienna Everett!" he roared. "Are you determined to be the death of me? How can you be so thoughtless!"

Sheila Whitaker walked up to Sienna Everett, her expression cold as she admonished, "Apologize to your father right now. Do you hear me?"

The reporters in the audience grew impatient watching this.

’What’s this about?’

’This just further proves that Sienna Everett did something wrong to make Morgan Everett and Sheila Whitaker so angry!’

But when the scene changed a second later, the reporters’ expressions shifted to utter disbelief.

In the video, Morgan Everett yelled at Sienna Everett, "So what if Shannon broke your doll? So what if she cut your leg with a pair of scissors? Do you have to make such a big deal out of it? Shannon was just crying because of you!"

Sienna Everett stood there, paying no mind to the cut on her leg. She simply lowered her head, her voice filled with grief. "That doll... It was the first gift Grandma gave me when she adopted me from the orphanage... After she passed away, I’ve always kept it with me..."

But Morgan Everett, enraged, cut her off. "I don’t care about your sob story! Shannon is crying because of you, so you will apologize to her!"

Sienna Everett pressed her lips together, remaining silent.

Sheila Whitaker grew impatient and shoved Sienna Everett hard. "Are you deaf, you wretched girl? Go apologize to Shannon! How did I end up with such a disgraceful daughter!"

The shove sent Sienna Everett stumbling back two steps, nearly making her fall.

But she still didn’t go to apologize to Shannon Everett.

Morgan Everett, unable to contain his fury, snatched the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it at Sienna Everett’s head.

The reporters watching this gasped, their hearts leaping into their throats.

’That’s an ashtray! What would happen if it hit her head? She’d be bleeding everywhere!’

’Isn’t Sienna Everett his own daughter? How could Morgan Everett be so ruthless!’

The next second of the video showed the ashtray missing its target and flying toward Sheila Whitaker, who was standing beside Sienna Everett.

Just as the ashtray was about to hit Sheila Whitaker, Sienna Everett quickly and decisively pushed her out of the way.

CRASH! The ashtray hit the floor and shattered into pieces.

Sheila Whitaker, completely unharmed, landed on the soft sofa.

The video ended there.

The vast conference hall, which moments before had been as noisy as a chaotic marketplace, was now utterly silent. You could have heard a pin drop.

After a long moment, someone finally spoke in a timid, incredulous voice.

"So... Sienna Everett only pushed Sheila Whitaker to save her..."

"If Sienna Everett hadn’t pushed her, Sheila Whitaker would have been hit by that ashtray for sure!"

"Sheila Whitaker had just screamed at her, yet Sienna Everett still saved her. And people say she’s a bad daughter!"

"Wait a minute. Shannon Everett destroyed Sienna Everett’s doll and cut her leg with scissors, yet Morgan Everett and Sheila Whitaker wanted Sienna to apologize to Shannon? What kind of biased parents are they!"

"This is beyond favoritism; they can’t even tell right from wrong! Sienna Everett wasn’t even upset about her leg being cut by Shannon. She was just heartbroken over the ruined doll—it was the first gift her grandmother gave her, a memento. Imagine how devastating it must have been for Shannon to destroy it..."

"Holy shit, this is a real eye-opener..."

Everyone had thought Sienna Everett was an unworthy daughter.

But the truth was that Morgan Everett and Sheila Whitaker were unworthy parents!

Everyone had thought Sienna Everett had abused her own mother.

But the truth was that Morgan Everett and Sheila Whitaker were the ones indiscriminately abusing their own daughter!

They’d throw an ashtray at a moment’s notice and spew vicious insults, not treating Sienna Everett like a daughter at all!

And Mason Everett was nothing but a willing accomplice, enabling their tyranny!

He posted a video that was edited to remove all context, just to twist the truth, deliberately slander Sienna Everett, and incite netizens to cyberbully her.

What terrible luck for Sienna Everett, to be stuck with such a messed-up family!

The reporters on site exchanged awkward glances, momentarily at a loss for words.

They had thought they were on the side of justice, seeking restitution for Sheila Whitaker. They never imagined they were being used by someone with an agenda to target an innocent, pitiable victim...

The reporters looked toward the stage at Sienna Everett, who had remained composed from start to finish.

One female reporter was so moved that tears welled in her eyes. "Sienna Everett, is this why you cut ties with the Everett family? If it is, I support you!"

Before, they’d speculated that Sienna Everett was the problem in her split from the Everett family.

Now, it was clear the problem was the Everett family!

Off to the side, Keith Sterling saw the tables turn and finally felt a sense of relief for Sienna Everett.

’He just never imagined that Sienna Everett had been bullied so badly in the Everett family...’

Onstage, Stella Shaw glanced in Sienna Everett’s direction.

Sienna Everett gave a slight nod.

Taking the cue, Stella Shaw composed herself. She then faced the reporters, her voice clear and cold as she spoke each word with precision.

"Mason Everett posted an edited video online with the malicious intent to slander and defame our client, Ms. Sienna Everett. This has caused severe damage to her reputation and rights. We have already filed a police report and will be pursuing legal action against Mason Everett."

「Meanwhile, at the Everett estate.」

When Mason Everett saw the press conference’s sudden reversal, he shot up from the sofa, his expression dark and frightening.

’Damn it, how did Sienna Everett find the full video?’

Sheila Whitaker was a nervous wreck, anxiously clutching her chest. "What do we do now? Everything’s been exposed..."

Shannon Everett helped support her, trying to offer some comfort. "Mom, don’t panic. Mason, I think she’s just bluffing about the police. Sienna always gives in to our family. This time will be no different..."

But before Shannon could finish speaking, a maid rushed into the living room in a panic.

"Young Master, the police are here! They said... they said..."

The maid stammered, not daring to finish her sentence.

Just then, several police officers walked in, their faces grim.

"Mason Everett, we’ve received a report that you posted false information online to slander and defame Sienna Everett, which has had a major public impact. The evidence is conclusive. Please come with us."

Mason Everett’s fists clenched violently, his expression turning uglier than ever.

’That Sienna Everett... she actually called the police!’

’How could she be so heartless? Sending her own brother to jail! She has no regard for family ties whatsoever!’

’He’s the president of the Everett Group! How could he maintain his reputation after being arrested by the police in broad daylight?’
