Chapter 336 Fury Unleashed
Melinda was engrossed in the livestream.
The sight of the courtyard left her flabbergasted.
She had cleaned up after Banny’s mumerous blunders before, but they were merely instances of girl humiliation, brawls, and hit-and-run incidents.
There was no involvement of imprisonment, trafficking, or even murder, so she was oblivious to the fact that Banny had committed a plethora of crimes.
Melinda was now in a state of panic, her concern for Banny intensifying
The murderer implicated Banny
If it was discovered that he was indeed involved. Banny would be in deep trouble.
This situation would also implicate her.
After all, once Simone revealed it, everyone would know that Banny was her nephew,
Melinda watched Simone on the livestream, her heart filled with resentment.
This cunning girl was specifically targeting her.
Her decision to not let her in earlier was justified.
Seeing Leon’s complex expression, Melinda’s fury escalated.
Leon was an unreliable ally.
When Simone instructed him to find the key, he obeyed.
Now, witnessing Banny’s arrest, he didn’t even attempt to help and had the audacity to continue participating in the variety show. He even continued to linger around Simone, who harbored resentment against them. It was infuriating.
Melinda couldn’t resist and opened the live chat to take a look.
As expected, everyone was berating Banny and her.
Many people threatened to expose and report her, urging a thorough investigation.
After a while, Melinda also discovered that this matter had become a trending topic.
The headline read, “Melinda’s Nephew is Actually a Murderer.”
This matter was gaining increasing attention on the internet.
In addition to discussing this matter, her background and family history were all exposed
Even her maternal family was revealed.
Moreover, people were coming forward one after another, revealing that Reuben and Titus’ company had committed numerous violations and crimes,
There were also people who dug out that her niece tried to snatch someone else’s boyfriend and, when unsuccessful, resorted to throwing sulfuric acid at the person.
She was aware of this incident.
The woman was disfigured and wanted to sue her niece.
She arranged for the victim to undergo plastic surgery abroad and also compensated for mental damages.
Then, another nephew who entered the entertainment industry as an investor had his scandals exposed.
Soon, the other two nephews and nieces were also revealed with a plethora of information.
Melinda felt that things were spiraling out of control, drifting further and further away.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her mother, Teresa,
Picking up the phone, she was immediately berated. “You little wench. Are you not satisfied until you’ve ruined our family? Do you have a problem? Letting Banny go and find trouble with a geomancy master.
“Now, Banny has been arrested, and our family has been criticized by many people. Reuben and Titus said that if this continues, their company will also be investigated. How could I have given birth to such a foolish and useless person like you? You’re a money-losing commodity.”
When Melinda heard the harsh scolding from the other end, her expression became even more unpleasant. Since she married into the Gray Family, Teresa had not called her names like “little wench.” “Toolish,” or “money-losing commodity.”
Her family began to praise her, making her feel valued.
In order to maintain her dignity in front of her family, she constantly provided them with financial support and assistance.
Reuben and Titus both started companies, relying on her help and support
When her nephews and nieces caused trouble, she was the one who put in the effort and money to resolve
For many years, Teresa had not scolded her like this.
Unable to bear it, she asked, “Mom, what are you saying? This was clearly Banny’s own doing, and it’s causing trouble for us. How can you blame me for this?”
At this point, she also felt some resentment toward Banny
He actually foolishly went to cause trouble with a murderer, leading to this mess.
Teresa didn’t care about all that. “Nonsense! If it wasn’t for you wanting Banny to go and cause trouble for Sermons how could all these things have happened?”
“Quickly go and find someone to rescue Banny. Deal with all those online criticisms as well. And don’t let your brother’s company be investigated. Otherwise, I won’t spare you, and we won’t recognize you as our daughter anymore.”
When she had value to be exploited, Teresa would use kind words to coax
However, now that Banny might be imprisoned, her family was being cursed with more trouble lying ahead. She could no longer stand it as this money-losing commodity was brainless.
It was also fortunate that she had a beautiful face, which enchanted Adam.
Otherwise, she didn’t know what kind of life they would be living.
Melinda not only cared about her pride but also valued family ties. She had always wanted to gain recognition from her maternal family, parents, and siblings, so when she heard these words, her expression changed. Tunderstand. I will immediately ask Adam to resolve this.”
Teresa coldly snorted. That’s more like it.
At that, she hung up the phone.
Melinda immediately called Adam.
The phone was unable to be connected, which indicated that it was out of service.
She tried calling Adam’s assistant but couldn’t get through.
When she called the company, the secretary informed her that Adam was overseas on business.
He must have turned off his phone while on the plane.
With no other options, Melinda had to make calls everywhere to ask for help.
All the things Banny was involved in were criminal activities.
They were even exposed in a livestream, so these people didn’t dare to help or have the ability to do so.
The situation online was so severe that anyone involved would suffer.
Everyone was not foolish, so they all found excuses to refuse politely.
Some even intentionally ignored Melinda’s calls when they saw her number.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Salma, who was unaware of the situation.
She had been angered by the way Leon served Simone like a slave, so she returned to the inn and was too angry to watch the livestream.
Because Simone didn’t take Leon’s pride into consideration, she was planning to go to the hospital to complain to Steven and Andrew.
She had just arrived at the hospital room and sat down.
When she saw Melinda’s call, she answered it. She heard the other person say that Banny had been framed by Simone and was now being arrested in Cubilis.
Aware of her presence in Cubilis, they sought her assistance in rescuing Banny.
They deliberately placed all the responsibility on Simone and incited a great deal of gossip.
Salma didn’t expect Simone to do such a thing.
She has a very good relationship with Melinda now, considering her to be a close friend and confidante, so she agreed without hesitation
After ending the call, she informed Steven about the situation. Then, she added with some complaints, “What is Simone up to? Just because I went to her for help to save Andrew, she got upset.
“Not only did she heartlessly refuse to save Andrew, but she also mocked me in front of the livestream. Now, she’s even targeting my friend. She falsely accused Banny, resulting in his arrest”
According to what she understood from Melinda, Simone became upset because she knew about their close relationship.
It was all because of her that Simone intentionally targeted Melinda.
Consequently, she felt particularly upset.
She pondered to herself that Simone, as a daughter, was becoming increasingly callous and audacious.
As her mother, she hadn’t done anything to her, yet she was intentionally targeted like this
She glanced at Steven and pleaded, “Honey, don’t you have connections with influential people in Cubilis? Please help and secure the release of Banny.”
From her perspective, it was simply a matter of assisting in the rescue of an innocent individual, nothing overly significant
Upon hearing Salma’s voice on the phone, Steven already sensed that something was amiss.
Now that he heard what she had said, he became so furious that he felt like he was about to explode.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
