Chapter 304 Publicly Revealing Crimes

Half an hour ago, in the lobby of the Spencer Corporation, reporters flooded in like a tidal wave.

Camera flashes kept going off, projecting Nicholas's tall figure onto the massive glass curtain wall.

Nicholas had suddenly called a press conference today, and almost everyone who got the news rushed over, surrounding the Spencer Corporation until it was completely packed.

Nicholas stood at the front, wearing a well-tailored black suit that, combined with his stern face, showed his unquestionable authority in every detail.

He scanned the crowd, his voice steady and powerful. "Everyone, today's press conference is very simple. It's only to expose Lachlan's conspiracy."

He pressed the remote control, and the LED screen on the Spencer Corporation building instantly lit up, directly showing a scene from Horizon Healthcare's laboratory.

Children were tied to chairs, having their blood constantly drawn, while on the other side of the screen, wealthy people were chatting and laughing comfortably. Some were even playing cards while receiving blood transfusions, completely ignoring the children on the other side.

The scene switched to an auction on a cruise ship, where children were being sold with clear price tags. Below, a group of masked people kept bidding, and the scene was extremely intense.

"All the children whose faces you can see are gone now, and this is just from Horizon Healthcare's early experimental stage." Nicholas's voice was so cold it could almost freeze. "And Lachlan is also the boss behind Aya. Although Aya has already collapsed, the mastermind behind it hasn't been caught yet."

"The Spencer Corporation has been investigating the people behind Aya, and that is why we're being slandered now. I've submitted the evidence to international police, and I believe there will be results soon."

The press area instantly erupted.

"Mr. Nicholas Spencer, how did you get these videos? Did you plant an informant early on?"

"Is Lachlan really Mr. Sawyer Spencer's illegitimate son? He's your uncle, right?"

"So did Lachlan kidnap Mr. Sawyer Spencer, or did the Spencer Corporation's overseas companies also participate in these things?"

Questions came one after another. Nicholas's face showed no expression. "Facts speak louder than words. I guarantee that Seraphim and the Spencer Corporation have never participated in any illegal activities. As for my grandfather..." Nicholas's voice paused slightly. "He is indeed being held hostage by Lachlan right now and has been poisoned. I'm offering a ten million dollar reward. As long as the tip is useful, the money will be transferred immediately. I never go back on my word!"

On the online live stream, all the netizens went crazy.

【So Lachlan came to Seraphim? Is that right?】

【Oh my god, walking dollars! I'm going out to look for him, don't stop me!】

【He actually did so many terrible things, how awful.】

【Mr. Spencer is putting righteousness before family, I support the Spencer Corporation.】

The press conference, which lasted just over ten minutes, caused huge waves globally.

Horizon Healthcare was originally a company supported by the Spencer Corporation. Now with the evidence right in front of them, the overseas company executives immediately stopped the equity transfer.

At the same time, companies that had cooperated with Lachlan rushed to cancel their contracts, afraid that if they were late, they'd be constantly cursed by netizens.

By the time Lachlan saw the content of the press conference, things had already gotten out of control.

Lachlan and those who cooperated with him couldn't delete all the comments. The evidence Nicholas provided spread like a virus, rapidly spreading across the internet.

But at this moment, Diana received a call from Luke. He had actually lost track of them.

"How is that possible? Your speedboat couldn't keep up either?" Diana looked out the window, staring hard at the direction of the sea.

Luke's voice came through mixed with the howling wind over the sea. "Sorry, Lachlan hired more than a dozen fishing boats to block our way. By the time I caught up, he was already gone."

"Damn it!" Diana gritted her teeth. "Come back right away. He doesn't have a big ship, so he won't dare go to the open sea. He must still come ashore. He's definitely in Stardust City!"

The weather in the open sea was unpredictable. Without adequate preparation and enough people, no one would dare venture there rashly.

Diana hung up the phone and took a deep breath before saying, "Gemma, let's go back to the Spencer Corporation first."

"Yes." Gemma had also heard the phone conversation just now, and her heart sank.

Lachlan's actions had been exposed, and he was forced back to shore. With Sawyer following him, would things still be okay?

All the way, Diana kept praying that the witch's power would help her again.

But no matter how hard she concentrated, the sapphire showed no movement, and no images appeared before her eyes.

When they returned to the Spencer Corporation, the entrance was still surrounded by reporters.

The evidence Nicholas gave today was too explosive. Everyone wanted to get more firsthand information.

Gemma made a sharp turn and drove the car directly into the underground parking lot.

When Diana arrived at Nicholas's office, Nicholas was still on the phone.

"Of course, freeze all overseas assets. It's just freezing, not illegal, right?"

"Of course the equity transfer requires the person to be present. If the chairman can't go in person, how can it be transferred?"

"He's my uncle? Are you kidding? He doesn't have legal paternity test proof, does he?"

Seeing Diana come in, Nicholas said to the person on the phone, "Tell the companies cooperating with Lachlan that if they don't cancel their cooperation, don't blame me for taking action."

Nicholas hung up the phone, and when he turned around, there was already a smile in his eyes. "You've worked hard."

"We didn't catch Lachlan. Your grandfather was probably taken away by him." Diana looked at Nicholas somewhat awkwardly.

Nicholas nodded. "I know. I've already sent people to look for him. Don't get involved in what happens next. Your grandmother has woken up. Do you want to go see her?"

Diana was about to nod instinctively, but then shook her head. "No, this is a critical moment. I don't want to leave you."

She stepped forward and hugged Nicholas's arm, resting her head on his shoulder. "Nicholas, I have a feeling that Lachlan is definitely in Stardust City."

"You saw something again?" Nicholas frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the sapphire pendant on her chest. "The color seems a bit lighter."

"Does it?" Diana picked up the pendant and looked at it. "It does seem a bit lighter. It's not working at the critical moment. I thought it could help me find Mr. Spencer."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated wildly.

Looking at the unfamiliar number jumping on the screen, Diana held her breath and quickly answered the call. "Lachlan?"

"Ms. Windsor is indeed smart." Lachlan laughed sinisterly. "No wonder Nicholas likes you so much. A beautiful and smart woman—who wouldn't like that? But unfortunately, your intelligence is going to harm Nicholas's grandfather. Tell me, how will you two stay together after this?"

"Lachlan, I told you, if you turn yourself in, you can survive. You have nowhere to run now." Diana's voice also carried some ruthlessness. "No matter which country you go to, you'll be wanted."

"Then let's all go down together!" Lachlan suddenly roared. "Now have Nicholas issue a statement proving that everything he said was false, otherwise!"

A wail came through the receiver, followed by Sawyer's scream. "Nicholas, don't listen to him!"
