Chapter 541: Who Exactly Will Be Ruined (Part 1)

“You can’t touch that! Only our people are allowed to fix this equipment. This machine cost hundreds of thousands. If you break it, can you afford to pay for it?!”

Keith Coleman strode forward. Before the two could react, they were thrown to the ground.

Suddenly, the screen went black.

The crowd, who had been watching with great interest, looked at each other in confusion.

Lana Sheffield froze for a moment, then shot Eileen Scott a look. Eileen immediately ran toward the equipment room at the back.

‘There were still more photos to show!’

Eileen had just reached the hallway when she saw Keith Coleman walking out of the equipment room.

“You… you…”

Keith Coleman gave a cold smile and turned to walk back into the banquet hall.

Melody Monroe stood in the middle of the crowd. The moment the screen went dark, all eyes locked onto her.

Eileen hurried over, pointing at Melody. “I just saw your agent walk out of the equipment room! Melody Monroe, what are you plotting?! What are you trying to do?”

“What am I trying to do? Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” Melody retorted coldly.

Just as Eileen was about to speak, Melody’s voice cut her off. “That’s right. The child on the screen is my child. I gave birth to him, and I’m raising him! Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Years ago, you tried to use that bastard to blackmail the Scott Family! First, you deviously befriended Yasmine Scott. Then you claimed the bastard you were carrying was Uncle Scott’s, which made Auntie Scott so angry she nearly died! After you gave birth to that bastard, the paternity test proved there was no connection to the Scott Family at all! Melody Monroe, after doing so many shameless things, you still dare to say you have nothing to do with what’s happening today?”

“What do you think?” Melody suddenly walked toward Eileen Scott, stopping just three steps away.

Melody’s sudden approach made Eileen nervous.

“Didn’t you do this? And you have the nerve to ask me! Who knows what malicious intentions you have!”

Melody’s gaze remained locked on Eileen, who didn’t dare to meet her eyes and looked away.

“Eileen Scott, look me in the eye. I’m just going to ask you a few questions.”

Eileen just couldn’t bring herself to look up. She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t meet Melody’s gaze. She felt that Melody’s eyes were terrifying, like a bottomless black hole that could swallow everything.

“What’s wrong? Can’t look at me? Or is it a guilty conscience?”

Provoked, Eileen immediately raised her head. But after meeting Melody’s gaze for only a few seconds, her own eyes began to lose focus.

“Where did these photos come from?” Melody asked directly.

The crowd was stunned. ‘Weren’t these photos her doing?’

More than eighty percent of the people present suspected Melody. The rest were watching to see how things would unfold.

The members of the media, in particular, were practically dying from suspense.

Everything happening before them was an irresistible temptation! Yet, not a single one of them dared to raise a camera and start shooting.

Instead, it was some of the banquet guests who were secretly recording with their phones.

Lana Sheffield stared at Melody and Eileen, completely baffled.

‘Has Melody suddenly gone mad?’

Her eyes were filled with scorn.

“Eileen Scott, I’ll ask you one more time. Where did these photos come from?”

“Yasmine Scott gave them to me,” Eileen answered.

Her tone was strangely flat, without a trace of emotion, but no one noticed this oddity. They were all too shocked by her answer.

Many people present knew that Yasmine Scott was Jedediah Scott’s daughter.

‘Yasmine Scott gave these photos to Eileen?’
