The fireworks disappeared without a trace.
Then, the big screen was flickering ceaselessly, as if it had experienced a malfunction.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the screen returned to normal the next second.
Suddenly, a woman’s scream rang out.
Then, a clandestinely recorded video was being played on the screen.
Ryan Richard and Jessica Taylor, unclothed, were tangled together in an unseemly manner, especially Ryan’s ashen face, which was magnified several times on the screen.
Below the stage, people immediately started talking:
"Isn’t that Ryan from the Richard Family, Emily Allen’s boyfriend?"
"Right, there’s Ryan, but the woman in the video doesn’t seem to be Emily."
"I heard that not only is the Allen family’s daughter hosting a birthday banquet this time, but the Allen family is also going to announce their marriage alliance with the Richard Family. Emily and Ryan are planning to get engaged!"
"Looks like Ryan was cheating on Emily, I wonder if the engagement news will be announced today..."
The crowd was abuzz with chatter.
Once Ryan recovered, he rushed to the stage and seized Sophie Allen’s throat.
"Slut! Didn’t you delete the video? How did it get out? Did you do this on purpose? Taking my money and then publicly releasing my video..."
Ryan was so angry that he was not making sense and was furiously roaring at Sophie.
His saliva sprinkled on Sophie’s face, which made her feel sick to her stomach.
Sophie raised her eyes coldly, met his bloodshot eyes and just smiled coldly.
Ryan was losing face in front of everyone, his rage peaked. Not only were there friends and relatives of the Allen family, but also of the Richard family, and even the elders of the Richard Corporation!
Anyone who had a connection to the Allen and Richard families was invited, regardless of their social status.
"Sophie Allen, you slut!" Ryan lifted his hand, ready to strike.
The next second, his wrist was seized and he was violently pushed onto the stage.
It wasn’t Sophie who did it.
Emily, enraged, rushed to Ryan, crouched down and slapped him fiercely on the face, then grabbed his collar.
"Ryan Richard, is the woman in the video Jessica Taylor—" Emily’s voice was shrill.
She was completely caught off guard. She had snatched Ryan from Sophie, causing Sophie to be cuckolded, only to be cuckolded by Ryan in return! Follow current novels on NoveI★Fire.net
Moreover, she was kept in the dark about it until it was revealed at her birthday banquet.
Emily felt like she was going mad!
"It’s all Sophie, Sophie was the one who secretly recorded it, it’s all in the past, Jessica and I haven’t been together for a long time. We broke up ages ago." Ryan quickly explained, fearing that Emily, with her volatile temper, would beat him to a bloody pulp in front of all these people.
He definitely couldn’t lose face like that!
Emily turned her head, glared fiercely at Sophie, and pointed at her: "Sophie Allen, tell me clearly, did you deliberately show that video at my birthday party? When did you record it?"
Emily was so angry she almost bit her teeth off.
She knew she was losing face, but she had to clear things up!
"Sis, listen!" Sophie’s expression was impassive, yet her lips curved up in a mocking smile.
Emily turned to the big screen, which had gone blank, but Ryan’s wailing was audible.
"Ryan Richard, listen up, stop the production now. Once my perfume is on the market, I will release your disgraceful video."
This was Sophie’s voice, she was grinding her teeth in anger.
Then came Ryan’s whimpering: "Sophie Allen, you’ll pay for this. If you apologize and be good, I can still be your man—"
Emily’s face turned from green to red, then to black, she looked down at the man lying on the stage.
What did she just hear?
I can still be your man?
So, did Ryan and Sophie still have something going on?
"Ryan Richard, did you say that to Sophie Allen?" Emily’s beautifully made-up eyes were about to pop out with fury.
