CHAPTER 586: CHAPTER 586: GUILTY CONSCIENCE

"Are you all here for the truth?"

A clear voice rang out, it was Ivana Monroe speaking.

All the cameras turned back to Ivana Monroe.

"Of course, Ms. Monroe, if it’s really as Mrs. Ji said, I think you should sincerely apologize to Mrs. Ji first, beg for her forgiveness on your knees since your actions have severely hurt an elderly person, and that elderly person is your mother-in-law."

"Exactly, just kneel down and apologize!"

Most reporters agreed, watching Ivana Monroe with eyes eager for a spectacle. Her kneeling could attract massive attention, and even if she didn’t, Ivana Monroe might explode in anger and say something vicious to Mrs. Ji, which would attract equally massive attention.

Fawn Rhodes and Stacy Floyd were furious upon hearing the reporters.

These reporters are like mad dogs, determined to tear a piece of flesh from Ivana Monroe today.

"Kneel your mother’s head."

Fawn Rhodes cursed angrily.

The reporter who told Ivana to kneel glared at Fawn Rhodes, as if memorizing his face, ready to retaliate after the press conference.

Fawn Rhodes was unafraid, glaring back fiercely.

This kid dares to glare at me? Just you wait.

The two reporters held a grudge.

"Fawn Rhodes, do not insult their mothers," Ivana Monroe said, "It’s a pity their mothers had to give birth to them."

The two reporters turned pale with anger but didn’t react.

"Ivana Monroe, is this a personal attack on us?"

One of the reporters asked insidiously.

Ivana Monroe shook her head: "No, I just feel sorry for your mothers, that’s all."

"Ivana Monroe, don’t try to argue; I see you as a malicious woman blaming us for helping Mrs. Ji by reporting her real tragedy and now you want to retaliate."

Ivana Monroe sneered at the flushed reporter: "Really? Would you dare to swear on your conscience that you didn’t take benefits from Ji Mu?"

The reporter became flustered, hesitated for a few seconds, and raised his hand: "I swear, I did not take benefits from Mrs. Ji."

Ivana Monroe asked again: "What if you did take them?"

The reporter frowned, enough with it already? Want me to curse myself?

"If I did, I’ll get hit by a car and die."

The reporter made a vicious oath against his conscience, but oaths, no matter how evil, don’t become reality, if they did, how many people would face such consequences?

"I don’t need you to get hit by a car."

If he got hit by a car, the driver would suffer too because of the reporter’s mistake, how unfair for the driver?

"Then what do you want?"

The reporter was somewhat unclear about Ivana Monroe’s intentions.

He didn’t realize that at that moment, other reporters had also focused their cameras on him, and he was now on live broadcast.

"I want you to permanently leave the journalism industry and kneel down to apologize to me."

"Fine, I’m not afraid of you, an upright man fears no shadow."

The reporter confidently thumped his chest.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ivana Monroe mockingly, as if watching a clown. The affair of bribing the reporter was only known to her, the reporter, and Lucas Pierce. None of the three would reveal it to Ivana Monroe.

Stacy Floyd and Fawn Rhodes were a bit confused while looking at Ivana Monroe, but Fawn Rhodes realized first, could Ivana have contacted Ian? She knew Ian as a top hacker, finding a video of Ji Mu bribing reporters was a piece of cake for him.

Fawn Rhodes smirked and glared at the reporter, you’re going to be unlucky.

But Ivana Monroe hadn’t contacted Ian; Ji Mu was Ian’s grandma, and knowing Ji Mu was against her would make him sad. She didn’t want Ian to be hurt.

Facing the cameras, Ivana Monroe said: "Friends watching on TV, if you are a hacker and confident to access the video of Mrs. Ji bribing that reporter yesterday within five minutes, I’ll personally reward you with ten million."

All the reporters gasped.

Ten million!

Getting rich in five minutes!

The reporter indicted by Ivana Monroe almost wanted to expose his dealings with Mrs. Ji immediately.

However, he hadn’t lost his mind yet, because even if he exposed it, Ivana Monroe wouldn’t give him the ten million.

Ji Mu couldn’t sit still, her heart pounded wildly. She silently prayed that there were no brilliant hackers watching TV, hopefully all foolish viewers.

"I’ll start the timer."

A reporter began timing for Ivana Monroe.

This reporter also took Mrs. Ji’s benefits, hoping the five minutes would pass quickly. After all, the viewers covered various fields, who knew if hackers were watching the broadcast?

Ten million!

A tempting sum.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Stacy Floyd clenched her hands, whispering to Fawn Rhodes: "Do you think Ivana will succeed?"

Fawn Rhodes clenched his fist and said confidently: "She will, don’t worry!"

"Ha, four and a half minutes have passed, only thirty seconds left."

The timing reporter was a bit excited, hoping the thirty seconds would rush by, defeating Ivana Monroe.

"Oh~ I forgot to show my WeChat QR code just now."

Ivana Monroe picked up her phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and showed it to the reporter’s camera.

Several guilty reporters discreetly moved their cameras away.

But not all were bribed by Mrs. Ji; several focused on Ivana Monroe and the QR code, zooming in intentionally.

Fawn Rhodes was baffled by this action from Ivana Monroe.

What’s going on? Didn’t she contact Ian?

Then that’s bad; if there’s no hacker watching...

Fawn Rhodes quickly grabbed his phone, prepared to contact Ian.

Ivana Monroe’s phone rang; someone added her. After accepting, a video was sent over.

The video showed Mrs. Ji and Lucas Pierce.

Lucas Pierce was holding a phone, contacting a reporter, then handed it to Mrs. Ji.

"Mrs. Ji, hello, how may I serve you?"

The reporter speaking was the one who swore, the voice unmistakable to anyone who heard it.

The reporter shivered, thinking it was over; what genius managed to fetch a video from his and Mrs. Ji’s conversation?

"Are you Jonas Holloway from Starlight Entertainment? I need you to do something for me. Tomorrow, I will attend your company’s press conference to expose Ivana Monroe’s misdeeds, and you must assist me in ruining her completely."

"No problem, serving Mrs. Ji is my privilege. Just after it’s done, Mrs. Ji, you should express your gratitude."

"You don’t need to say it, I understand. I’ll send you ten thousand initially, and after success, one hundred thousand."

"Then, thank you, Mrs. Ji, in advance. Happy cooperation."

The camera zoomed in on Ivana Monroe’s phone, clearly identifying Jonas Holloway on the other end of the call, unmistakably the swearing reporter.

Jonas Holloway’s legs went weak, struggling to stand.

"You promised Ivana, you’d kneel down and apologize; what are you waiting for?" Fawn Rhodes urged.
