chapter 3
Although the scandalous photos spread like wildfire, the Foster family, being the top wealthy clan, quickly quelled the public uproar and launched a swift counterattack.
[Kevin and Haley were maliciously face-swapped.]
[Alexa willingly signed the divorce agreement but went back on her word.]
Headlines like these suddenly emerged.
Under the guidance of behind-the-scenes manipulators, uninformed netizens instantly turned against them.
[Whoa, I almost got fooled by this woman!]
[Exactly, Mr. Foster's status is so distinguished, how could he possibly be secretly photographed? Ridiculous.]
[This woman clearly didn't get any money, driven by revenge, truly vicious!]
Haley's hardcore fans went completely overboard, directly cursing and insulting me and my family.
I expected all of this. If they didn't fight back, it wouldn't achieve the result I wanted.
I said, "It seems Mr. Foster isn't quite satisfied with my gift? Don't worry, the show is about to begin."
I bent down to open the safe at my feet and took out a heavy leather file folder. "Inside is Mr. Foster's list of acquaintances."
"Over the years, he has seized residential land, manipulated real estate prices, and ruthlessly profited off the public, all relying on this group of powerful individuals. I think I don't need to elaborate on the value behind these names, do I?"
If what I mentioned earlier was a scandal, then what I just said is outright illegal news!
After tens of seconds of dead silence, the livestream erupted into a frenzy of discussion. The online viewers skyrocketed, surpassing five million, with even multiple official accounts joining to watch.
Doubts followed.
[Nonsense! How could a woman like you get hold of the core secrets of a family as powerful as the Foster family?]
[I think she's just here to scam money! Causing such a scene, let's see how she ends this!]
Even Owen, who just bought the video, was full of doubt. [That's the lifeblood of the Foster family! How could Kevin let you access something like that? You better stop while you can.]
I still didnt explain and directly had someone release a few pictures.
Kevin supported a radiant middle-aged man as they walked out of a high-end club. That man was Bryson Welch, the director of the City Planning Department.
Just as someone questioned what this could prove, the sound of their conversation played.
"Mr. Welch, the best-located villas in the north of the city have been transferred to your nephew's name. You can check them out when you have time."
"Kevin, I just love your efficiency! Rest assured, that piece of land can only belong to the Foster family."
This recording instantly left everyone speechless. Moments later, the big shots in the livestream started bidding wildly again.
[I bid fifty million dollars!]
[Fifty million dollars? Dream on! I bid one hundred million dollars!]
In no time, the price skyrocketed to a staggering two billion dollars.
As I was enjoying the show, an account named "Sword Action" caught my attention.
I clicked on its profile and discovered it was the official account of the Bureau of Investigation.
I was already aiming to take down the Foster family, so instead of selling to capital, handing these evidences to the relevant authorities would be faster.
With my mind made up, I slowly spoke to the camera, "Sorry, everyone. A mysterious user just offered me an irresistible deal. So, I've decided to hand over all the evidence to them."
After speaking, I sent all the evidence of the Foster family's illegal activities through the channel provided by the other party.
After finishing all this, I picked up the still vibrating phone and answered the call.
Kevin's furious roar came through immediately. "Alexa, you bitch, where did you get those things? Delete them right now! Do you hear me? Or I won't let you off!"
I teased, "Mr. Foster, everything you said has been heard by millions of viewers. Say hi to everyone!"
There was a pause on the other end, followed by an extremely suppressed voice saying, "What exactly do you want?"
I said, "Don't you know what I want? I want the Foster family to disappear completely!"
