"So... what about you, do you have any evidence to say my daughter did these things?" Marquis Smith roared.
Before Gan Yuan could speak, Annie had already started shouting from the stage.
"I can produce evidence, I have call records with reporters, and I also have... my assistant knows about this, and the ghostwriters I hired, they can prove that I instructed them to mimic Mr. Moses and Miss Gan’s handwriting..."
Marquis Smith was so astounded that he almost couldn’t catch his breath and died on the spot. He was trying to salvage the situation, but his own daughter kept undermining him time and again?
"If Marquis feels that these are still not enough!" Gan Yuan said with a raised lip, "I have one more eyewitness!"
She motioned with a light hook of her finger, and the bodyguard immediately brought out Annie’s assistant, who then spoke up loudly.
"I... I am Miss Annie’s assistant. I... I can testify that she wanted to frame Mr. Moses and Miss Annie. I also helped her contact multiple media reporters, and the flowers sent to Miss Gan and the gifts to Mr. Moses were all my doing."
"Marquis!" Dolly scoffed, "At this point, do you still want to make excuses?"
With so many witnesses and material evidence against him, and his own daughter no longer contradicting him, what else could he say?
"I..." Marquis Smith faltered, glancing sidelong at Annie on the stage, "I have no daughter like you!"
Feeling an extreme disappointment towards Annie, in the end, all he wanted was to save his own face.
With an expletive, he took a step to leave.
As soon as he broke through the crowd, a formidable group burst in from the entrance, a few bodyguards clearing the way followed by a tall figure.
Dressed in a pale grey suit, standing tall and slender, with a refined yet noble air about him, it was none other than Huangfu Jue.
When he reached the crowd, he blocked Marquis Smith’s path, Huangfu Jue’s blue eyes dangerously narrowed as he gazed at the man before him.
How dare they scheme against his woman; did this father and daughter pair think they could get away with it?
Cold sweat instantly began to stream down Marquis Smith’s forehead, and he swallowed nervously, quickly bowing his head to avoid Huangfu Jue’s gaze.
"Duke... Your Grace..."
Huangfu Jue coldly lifted a finger, and Will immediately raised the documents in his hand.
"Here is a document that proves Marquis Smith took advantage of his position to misappropriate funds from the bilateral cooperation into other areas, lining his own pockets with the profits. Considering that such behavior has severely harmed the interests of both nations, our country has decided to suspend cooperation with F Country. Additionally, we have submitted all the evidence to the Congress of F Country. Marquis, you might want to think about how you will explain this to the Congress and how you will compensate our country for its losses!"
The entire place was in an uproar.
His daughter being despicable was one thing, but Marquis Smith, who had always shown himself as a man of integrity, how could he have stooped to such depths?
"Marquis, what do you have to say about the Duke’s accusations?"
"Marquis, how are you planning to explain this matter?"
Reporters had already swarmed forward, bombarding Marquis Smith with questions.
Marquis Smith turned pale, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.
The assistant rushed over, supporting his shoulders.
Annie also rushed down from the stage and together with the assistant held him up, while paramedics came with a stretcher and everyone scrambled to take him to the emergency center.
Helen turned her head, looking at Gan Yuan with confusion. Gan Yuan just shook her head gently, signaling her not to bother.
