Chapter 337


    All of a sudden, the sounds of keyboards tapping away and camera shutters going off filled the room.


    Soon after that, the details from the Hart Group press conference became published; naturally, the


    response that ensued was quite significant.


    Originally, Miss Walton, who was allegedly the victim, the weaker party, and the person abandoned,


    suddenly turned out to be a despicable home-wrecker, a lunatic, and a vicious woman. From then on,


    there were all sorts of negative tags attached to her.


    Perhaps it was because everyone didn’t expect the distinguished Young Lady of the Walton family to


    be such a shameless woman. The words that came out of her mouth were quite explicit, after all.


    “I just want to give you somefort during her pregnancy… Now that she is pregnant, you must be


    having a hard time holding back your desires. I just wish to continue to admire you in secret and to


    sometimes appear by your side when you need me. I won’t ruin your family; I just want you to


    asionally be with me… Myra’s only attributes are her skills in bed and the way she pleasures you.


    As for me, I’m still a virgin; I only care about you so I’m quite sure I’ll beparable to her. I—”


    Gemma hadpletely twisted values that were totally beyond what was eptable. It was quite hard


    to believe that this usually haughty and aloof woman had in fact chased after a married man and


    requested to be his mistress.


    On the contrary, the director of Hart Group, Tony, had a great mindset, which was evident from his


    words.


    “Even if you were thest woman left on Earth, I would still choose to stay celibate. If you dare to


    bother Myra again, I won’t hesitate to show you in advance the consequences of crossing my path.”


    Everyone present could clearly sense his loyalty toward the one he loved. Most of the women who


    heard this sighed in admiration, and they were envious and jealous of Myra but disdainful of Gemma’s


    actions. This was such a stark contrast, resulting in the crowd being even more disgusted and scornful


    of thetter’s actions. At that point, all of the hard-built, positive framework of the Walton Family from


    the previous night came crashing down without any warning, and there were endless negative


    …


    Just then, the atmosphere in Gemma’s room was significantly tense and one could practically cut the


    tension with a knife.


    Everyone from the Walton Family, except for Gemma, had assumed that there were only two


    recordings that fateful night at the underground parking lot of the Stark Group. One was regarding the


    conflict between her and Tony, and the other was the recording of her driving her car into Tony’s. Other


    than that, they didn’t expect anything else. However, much to their dismay, Gemma had in fact tried to


    seduce Tony; as for the words she had said, Edward was practically about to blow a gasket after


    hearing it. How can a foolish girl like her even be a part of the Walton Family? Doesn’t she know that


    there are security cameras in the underground parking lot?


    As soon as everyone in the Walton Family saw the negativements left by strangers on the


    Inte, their expressions darkened.


    “Grandpa—” Afterst night’s outburst, Gemma had initially gone back to her old ways of being


    reckless as she realized that her family had no qualms of indulging all her whims. However, after the


    full video recording was released and Tony’s words were made known to the public, Gemma was


    utterly stunned. During her impulsive outburst, shepletely forgot about the fact that she had tried to


    seduce Tony prior to that or perhaps subconsciously, she didn’t think that there was anything wrong in


    her actions of seducing him.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    It was only when the condemningments from the Inte hit hard like waves crashing into her that


    she suddenly felt a sense of humiliation and resentment. Gemma finally came to the realization that


    she had brought massive trouble upon her family and this time, things were way worse than the


    previous incident of her running into Tony with her car. This incident indicated a massive w in her


    character and had implicated the whole Walton Family. As such, everyone in the family was also the


    subject of abuse by the general public.


    “Grandpa, this isn’t my fault. Myra must have convinced Tony to do this! He wouldn’t have treated us


    like this based on his friendship with Gideon. It must be Myra’s idea to go against us, so she must have


    said something negative to make him take such actions.


    Meanwhile on the other end, the Hart Group press conference was, in fact, a live stream event. At this


    moment, everyone watching could clearly hear the words that Tony mentioned to the press. He


    maintained his stance and insisted that he did not know the identity of the person who released that


    video recording; it also appeared that he wasn’t trying to put the me on the Walton Family, but the


    conference to take further action but in actual fact, he was intentionally targeting the Walton Family.


    Based on the current circumstances, Tony clearly emerged as the victor. No one in the Walton Family


    had expected this situation to take ce and they didn’t realize that the current negative public


    sentiments were detrimental to them. On the other hand, this situation was advantageous to the Hart


    Family, the Hart Group, Tony, as well as Myra.


    This showed that the Hart Family had strong values of loyalty and Tony was a deeply affectionate


    person. Meanwhile, Myra was also the innocent party here.


    As for the Walton Family, they were despicable and Gemma was utterly shameless.


    “Gemma, even I can’t do anything much for you this time!” Edward clenched both of his hands tightly


    into fists and his shrewd eyes were full of aggression and struggle.


    Momentarily stunned, Gemma became frightened after regaining her senses. “Grandpa, what do you


    mean? I didn’t do anything drastic. Besides, Tony’s perfectly fine! It’s only been a few days since the


    incident but he’s currently up and running; he’s also well enough to hold a press conference! What do


    you mean by you not being able to do anything to help me?”


    “What do you mean he’s fine?” All of a sudden, Edward couldn’t control his anger andshed out at


    her. Soon after that, he took a deep breath before narrowing his eyes and pursing his lips. “In the video,


    everyone can clearly see the whole situation of how you intentionally drove your car into Tony’s; there’s


    no need for him to exin anything. Then, you made another mistake by acting impulsively afterward


    when the Hart Family had already decided to forgive you. Right now, you should just leave the country


    and stay there until things cool down. Give it some time and I’ll arrange for you toe back once


    everything is fine.”


    Edward’s vein pulsated vigorously out of anger upon noticing Tony’s actions. Thetter was currently


    speaking on the live stream and he also turned around asionally to smile at Myra. “Your reckless


    move of releasing footage of that video recording and threatening Myra has angered the Hart Family to


    the point where they no longer give any regard to our reputation. Their actions today are a tant


    challenge to our family! Soon, the police will investigate this issue and by then, even if I beg the Hart


    Family for forgiveness, do you think they will let you off the hook?”


    Gemma shivered in fear as soon as she heard Edward’s words. She had acted impulsively out of anger


    yesterday. As soon as she saw that video, she did not hesitate to give Myra a call and threaten her.


    However, Myra’s refusal angered Gemma further and she ended up releasing the footage online. At


    that moment, she did not stop to consider the consequences as she assumed that her family would


    settle the matter for her. Furthermore, she had always harbored the thought that her grandpa could


    settle the issue of her being forced to leave Bradfort City but now, he chose not to do so because he


    had given up on her after her disfigurement. Out of resentment, she then made the decision to create a


    fuss. However, looking at this current situation, Gemma suddenly felt a sense of panic.


    “Grandpa—no, I mean… Gideon! Gideon, you’re quite close to Tony! If you go and seek his


    forgiveness, then he definitely wouldn’t be so harsh on me! You’ve been friends for six years so surely


    he’s going to give you some leeway?” Gemma suddenly turned to Gideon for help.


    Currently, Gideon had a sullen expression on his face. He then turned around to look at his sister and


    sneered, “Do you think that Tony’s going to pay any heed to my word? All this while, he’s never


    bothered to listen to me. Besides, you’ve used me as a pretext for more than one asion; don’t you


    think it’s toote for everything?”


    “But—” Gemma had not realized the repercussions when she intentionally drove her car into someone.


    Just then, it seemed that Samuel knew what she was about to say and he replied with a solemn voice,


    “Intention to harm is a serious crime and could lead to a maximum sentence of imprisonment for a few


    years or at least home detention. You assumed that Tony wasn’t badly hurt in that incident, but he’s


    already undergone a full examination and came out with a report for that. Currently, he’s just waiting for


    the final judgment.”


    “What? How can my daughter be imprisoned!” Shelly frantically yelled out in a shrill voice and grabbed


    hold of Samuel’s left arm. “Samuel, you must find a way to help Gemma! You have to save our


    daughter!”
