Chapter 8: Affair Exposed
In the video, Jacob and Lele, both disheveled, are seen embracing and rolling around on a hotel bed.
The scene flashed, showing the two discussing how to seize Jerry's assets.
"That night, we got that idiot Jerry drunk and he slept like a pig. He really thought he forced me, but he didn't even touch me. But we had to use that as a reason to force him to marry me."
"Anyway, even his family believes that he forced you, so he has to take responsibility for you. Once we join forces and take all his assets, we can be together openly."
The scene then shifts to pages of hotel booking records for the two.
The scene was immediately stunned; everyone's mouths were agape, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
In shock, everyone's eyes shifted from the screen to Jacob and Lele.
But his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.
Mr. and Mrs. Sen was completely stunned.
[A/N: Mr. and Mrs. Sen = Lele's Parents]
They always thought Lele was with Jerry, but they never expected that she was with the adopted son of the Miller Family.
Unexpectedly, Lele even deceived them, and they really believed that Jerry had forced Lele. Only then would they dare to propose such an unreasonable prenuptial agreement.
Now that the truth has come out, the couple feels utterly humiliated.
The Miller Family was even more dumbfounded, never expecting that the simple-minded Jacob in their eyes would do such a thing.
Jerry smiled coldly: "The truth is right in front of me, I don't need to explain anything more."
"The wedding with Lele has been cancelled, and JM Group and Sen Group have fallen out, severing all cooperation from now on. I'm making this clear: anyone who cooperates with Sen Group is slapping JM Group in the face."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience. Everyone understood why Jerry had been so tolerant earlier; it was all for this moment to completely humiliate Lele.
At this moment, Lele screamed at the top of her lungs, "Jerry, you beast! You actually took pictures of me without my knowledge, how shameless of you!"
"Don't you have any conscience! Everyone saw this, how am I supposed to face people now?"
Everyone was speechless, but Lele had already accused the villain first. Instead of offering an explanation or apology, they blamed Jerry for revealing the truth.
This is also an excellent piece.
Lele's father hurriedly went on stage and pulled Lele down from her tears, afraid that she would continue to embarrass herself.
All eyes naturally turned to Jacob. Jacob's eyes were fierce, and his fists were clenched.
He has always cultivated an image of being innocent and naive. But once it was exposed, all the previous efforts were in vain. And it had a huge impact on his career.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly put on an innocent look and even squeezed out a few tears.
Robert stood up angrily and roared, "Jerry, you beast, you even want to harm your own brother? Turn off the video right now!"
At this moment, the video on the big screen was still playing on repeat. The insidious plotting voices of Lele and Jacob were particularly jarring in the noisy hall.
The eldest sister rushed to the control panel, shut down the computer, and screamed, "Jerry, are you crazy?"
"You could have just told us this in private. Why did you have to say it in public? Do you know how much this hurts Jacob?"
Laxmi rushed up to Jerry, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws: "I'll beat you to death, you beast! I should have known better than to bring you home back then."
"How could you treat Jacob like this? He respected you so much, yet you ruined his reputation."
Older sisters rushed towards Jerry, pointing at him and cursing him.
Jerry frowned deeply and said coldly, "It was clearly Jacob who conspired with Lele to harm me and seize my assets, yet you're blaming me?"
"Is your Jacob the only thing in your eyes?"
The third sister's voice trembled with anger: "He's still young, it's normal for him to make mistakes, can't you forgive him? Why do you have to make things so ugly?"
"Who hasn't made mistakes? We've forgiven you for your mistakes, haven't we? Otherwise, we would have kicked you out of the house long ago," the second sister said angrily, gritting her teeth.
Those present who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel sorry for Jerry. Even though Jerry was the victim, his family sided with Jacob and relentlessly accused Jerry.
Deputy Chief of Police Tim couldn't stand it any longer. He stood next to Jerry and said angrily, "Jacob and Lele's behavior has already violated the law."
"They got Jerry drunk, fabricated evidence of coercion, and plotted to seize a huge amount of assets."
"A simple thing could send him to jail."
The older sister shrieked, "Who do you think you are? One of Jerry's cronies? Our family matters are none of your business!"
Robert quickly stopped them, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, my family members were too emotional."
He then glared fiercely at the group: "Are you blind? You didn't even recognize the deputy police chief?"
Upon hearing this, Laxmi and the others immediately became obedient, crying and defending Jacob.
But Tim glanced at Jerry and smiled meaningfully. At this moment, Lele was surrounded by his parents.
Enraged, Lele's father roared, "Are you out of your mind? Jerry is the head of JM Group, and you like an adopted son of the Miller Family?"
"He's just a nobody, a nobody without the Miller Family."
"Lele... how could you lie to even your parents?" Lele's mother sobbed uncontrollably.
"What are we going to do now?"
"Now that this video of yours has been exposed, how are you going to face the world?"
"Go apologize to Jerry right now! Hurry up!"
"Why should I apologize to him?" Lele screamed through tears.
"I don't like him at all, he forced me to marry him."
"If it weren't for the fact that he has a little bit of money, I wouldn't even want to look at him." Upon hearing this, the entire audience burst into laughter.
"Didn't you get him drunk, fabricate a story that he forced you to marry him?"
"Holding a multi-billion dollar conglomerate is nothing to this Miss Sen. She's really arrogant. Your Sen Family's assets aren't even enough for one of his subsidiaries."
"This woman is really weird; whoever marries her is doomed." Lele broke down and screamed, "You don't understand love at all. Jacob and I are truly in love."
"If it weren't for that bitch Jerry interfering, we would have been living together long ago."
"Since that bitch Jerry doesn't want to have a wedding, then I'll use this place today to marry Jacob."
"Jerry, open your eyes and see! You're the most ridiculous clown today!"
She looked at Jacob with hopeful eyes: "Jacob, will you marry me?"
Sitting in the audience, Jacob wished he could slap Lele. He never intended to marry Lele; he just wanted to play with her.
This time, it was because Lele was pregnant and refused to have an abortion that he was desperate and decided to frame Jerry.
Seeing his hesitation, Lele on the stage seemed to have become a joke. Everyone present laughed.
Her voice trembled as she said, "Jacob, come up here, hurry up, I can't take it anymore." Jacob clenched his fists, wore an innocent expression, but refused to go on stage.
The eldest sister hurriedly said, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. Actually, Jacob and Lele have been dating for a long time and are boyfriend and girlfriend. Our family all know this."
"It's all because that bitch Jerry got drunk that Lele thought she was being violated, which is why she was in such a hurry to marry him."
She glared at Jerry: "Why aren't you coming over here to apologize and clear things up for your little brother?"
"They were perfectly fine, but you had to interfere. It's all your fault."
Lele also screamed and looked at Jerry: "That's right, Jacob and I have been dating. If Jerry hadn't tried to lure me with money, I wouldn't have fallen for it."
But the expressions on everyone's faces were strange; they wanted to laugh but dared not.
Jerry laughed first and took the microphone: "Jacob and Lele framed me, forced me to marry, and plotted to seize my assets, but in your mouths it's all my fault?"
"As for Lele, you say I tempted you with money, then what about your prenuptial agreement?"
"If you don't care about my money, why would you ask me for a dowry of 100 million and 10% of the shares?"
