Chapter 784
The reporters on the scene were trembling, wanting to escape, but their feet seemed rooted to the
ground and they couldn't move. In the face of Sylvia and Franklin's powerful aura, they were terrified
with every step.
The police officers who saw this young couple being so arrogant became even more angry. The
leading officer had a fierce expression on his face as he pulled out his phone and made a call. "You
wait for me! I'm calling my superior right now!"
Both he and his superior were involved in this matter, so when the higher-up arrived, how could this
young couple still be so arrogant?
However, just as he finished making the call, the elevator door opened again. Who stepped out but a
tall man, his own superior? He was excited as he greeted him. "Deputy Director! It's them - these two
are disrupting public order and preventing me from arresting someone. They even injured some of my
colleagues in arms. This is assaulting an officer!"
The deputy director had a tall stature, blue eyes, fair skin and blonde hair.
He only gave that police officer a cold glance before striding over to Franklin with great courtesy. "Mr.
Maskelyne," he said apologetically."I'm sorry about my subordinates' behavior; they didn't know you
had arrived."
Franklin gave Terrell a cold look."Terrell," he said. "Is this how your local police operate? You can arrest
people without evidence or even an arrest warrant? If this matter is exposed, the reputation of your
police..."
Terrell wiped away sweat from his forehead angrily scolding that captain, "Are you blind? Don't you
know who Mr. Maskelyne is? Do you still want to keep your job?"
Those policemen were all shocked by what happened.
Even those reporters looked surprised at what was happening before their eyes.
That captain was severely reprimanded by his superiors; at this point, it didn't matter if he lost face or
not. He quickly apologized to Franklin, "I'm sorry, Mr. Maskelyne, I have no eyesight. I offended you."
"Don't compare yourself with me. This whole thing is entirely my fault."
"So now are you going to arrest anyone?" asked Franklin coldly.
"No, no. We won't do anything. Everything was just a misunderstanding," replied that captain hastily.
And thus ended this farce.
The deputy director nodded respectfully towards Franklin. "Mr. Maskelyne, your SouthStar Airlines
flight..."
"He's really going to be infuriated by that woman from the Ritter family. When she came knocking on
his door, she only said she wanted to deal with the Wrights, but didn't mention Franklin would step in.
Now he'd offended Franklin.
SouthStar Airlines had reduced its flights to Vienna since this year, and his wife's family was in the
aviation business... He had benefited a kit from it.
Now if he offended SouthStar Airlines and they reduced their flights again...
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved he felt.
He felt that Mrs. Ritter was simply despicable! Did this old woman deliberately set a trap for him?
He shouldn't have been so foolish as to take her money and then plot against the Wrights.
"Mr. Maskelyne, rest assured that such things will never happen again." The deputy director quickly
nodded and bowed to Franklin. "I'll take them away now without disturbing your rest."
With that, he led these silly followers away.
As soon as the police left, those media reporters scattered like birds.
Only Brayden and a few others were left in the corridor.
Brayden quickly comforted Jenna beside him. "It's okay now; they're all gone."
Jenna nodded slightly with a pale face still visible.
Sylvia spoke up at this point, "Go back to your room and rest; don't let this affect you."
Franklin glanced at his good friend before saying, "We'll handle everything else later. You should get
some rest."
After speaking, they each went back to their own rooms.
Meanwhile in Mrs. Ritter's room, she had been keeping an eye on what was happening outside in the
corridor along with Ashlyn.
Originally they were gloating over someone else's misfortune but things took a turn for worse towards
the end of it all...
This made Mrs. Ritter furious!
"Damn it! Franklin ruined my plan again!"
"You see all these tweets? They're all criticizing Brayden," Ashlyn gently handed her mother her
phone,"Mom, don't get angry anymore. Anyway, the domestic public opinion has started stirring up. At
least, we haven't wasted our money on those reporters."
"The news has spread back home?" Mrs. Ritter took her phone over and saw hot topics trending on
Twitter.
She sneered, "Brayden, look at what you've done! How are you going out there ever again?"
She was happy until she refreshed once more, only to find out that topic disappeared completely.
She was taken aback. "Ashlyn, wasn't this topic just exploding? Is it gone now?"
Ashlyn took the phone suspiciously and swiped several times. "It seems like it's really gone."
"How strange, how could such a hot topic disappear?"
Then...
New topics emerged one after another.
#Master Brayden is innocent!
#With evidence, the truth about Master Brayden's situation
#Restoring the truth, a gathering is being used by someone with ulterior motives
Mrs. Ritter was so angry that she almost threw her phone away.
Clicking into these topics, they were all small videos of the police station nodding and bowing to clarify
for Brayden - what a misunderstanding and apologies.
This was ridiculous! It made Mrs. Ritter's head ache.
She took a deep breath but couldn't vent her anger at all.
Did she spend so much money just to let these people establish good reputation for Brayden?
There was also another topic quietly rising up.
#The mosaic female lead is Jenna.
"Which media outlet released Jenna's video? Ashlyn went crazy too; she really didn't expect such a
reversal effect from this incident.
Mrs. Ritter stood up suddenly; she was so angry that she almost cursed out loud, "Damn it! Didn't they
say they would mosaic that bitch's face? How did it get released?"
But there was something even more infuriating for her.
Jenna and Brayden actually announced their romantic relationship on Twitter.
Jenna: "Sorry, everyone, for causing alarm due to misunderstanding. Brayden, I will accompany you in
life from now on."
Brayden: "My fiancée has been mosaicked by others who slandered me."
They both @ each other with their photo together.
"I thought Master Brayden was scum at first; then I thought he wasn't bad; then they showed PDA!"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Suddenly becoming a couple? Have you asked Mrs. Wright yet?"
"I just want to know who created this misunderstanding - who doesn't like Master Brayden or our
Jenna?"
"Tell us - do you not want our Jenna to perform well or do you want to destroy the Wright family?"
"I can't help but think that this is clearly targeting the Wright family."
None of the scenes Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn had imagined appeared. Instead, all they saw were one
blessing after another.
Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn were fuming with anger.
"This is so despicable!" Mrs. Ritter's brain was throbbing with rage, and she could barely contain her
frustration from bursting out.
Ashlyn was also angry. She thought they would be able to take care of Brayden and Jenna properly,
but instead they were caught off guard by someone else's move. Not only did they fail to strike back,
but now their opponents were flaunting their love for each other in public.
"I will never let them get away with this," Mrs. Ritter took a deep breath before continuing, "Let's rest for
now and talk about it tomorrow."
In Urgford City,
Inside the government compound, Mrs. Wright looked worriedly at all the different situations on social
media; there seemed to be new developments every moment that made her heart race faster than ever
before:
"How did these two kids manage to cause so much trouble just by participating in a competition?"
"No way! Tomorrow I'm going there myself! With our household registration book in hand, I'll take them
straight to get married! Let's see what those people can do then!"
"They must have been up to something again; The Ritters are really pushing their luck too far - do they
think our family is powerless?"
Cody shifted his gaze from his phone screen towards Mrs. Wright: "Honey, don't worry too much about
it; everything has been resolved, right? To be honest, I'm quite surprised that our kids ended up
together."
"That's right," replied Mrs. Wright, "When you weren't home, Cody, they both worked hard together for
your sake which led them into developing feelings for each other." She sighed deeply "I'm booking my
flight ticket now because I am not at ease."
"As a mother, you're always going to worry no matter what happens," Cody responded calmly "But our
children have grown up already, how else are they supposed to learn if not through facing these
challenges?"
Mrs. Wright didn't know how to use flight booking apps herself. "Just ask your assistant or someone
else who knows how. Book me a ticket tomorrow even if it costs more than usual. We must make sure
that Brayden gets married as soon as possible so we can teach the Ritters a lesson once and for all!
They dare say my son has poor behavior? How ridiculous!"
"Why jump into conclusions like this? Our daughter-in-law is still here, isn't she?" Cody couldn't help
laughing when he heard his wife's words while he was trying to contact his assistant on behalf of her.
Suddenly Mrs. Wright's phone rang loudly, interrupting him mid-sentence.
"Hello," Vita's voice came from the other end. "Mrs. Wright, I've arrived at the train station. Can you
come pick me up?"
Mrs. Wright was feeling frustrated and agitated, but upon hearing Vita's voice, she paused for a
moment and tried to calm herself down. "Vita, you're here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? What if I
wasn't home?"
Vita's voice was sweet and playful with a hint of coquettishness. "If you weren't home, then I would just
go back to Larro."
