Chapter 258 What Is the Evidence?
At this moment, on Lyle's side, seeing the momentum he had worked so hard to build up online get suppressed overnight again, with Rodolfo once more becoming the good guy everyone praised, his whole expression turned somewhat sinister.
This time, he hadn't hesitated to come forward himself and record that video, all to completely drag Rodolfo down into the mud, make him bear the infamy, and ensure he could never clear his name.
Sophia had even connected him with the Johnson Group to speak up on his behalf.
But unexpectedly, the Wilson Group appeared out of nowhere!
Why did Daniel have to interfere in this matter!
Why did he have to crush and suppress what was originally a perfect situation pushed to its peak!
Lyle's face turned dark with anger.
He violently smashed the cup on the table to the ground.
'Why can't I ever take down that old bastard Rodolfo? How can his luck be so good!
And these stupid netizens, always so wishy-washy! Why won't they just listen to me!' He cursed in his head.
Lyle angrily smashed everything around him, but there was nothing he could do about the netizens.
This couldn't go on. He had to think of another way!
The buzz online wasn't enough! He needed to do something more ruthless.
As Lyle thought of this, a sinister gleam appeared in his eyes.
Just then, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Didn't Rodolfo claim to be a gentleman, merciful and loving?
What if he fabricated some rumors at this moment that would ruin Rodolfo forever?
For example, that he had molested the underage Ruby, or even used charity as a cover to prey on orphans and young children?
If he remembered correctly, Rodolfo had donated to many orphanages.
This would definitely destroy him beyond redemption, right?
At this thought, Lyle trembled with excitement all over, as if he could already foresee the outcome.
He immediately set out to make it happen.
Before his assistant Ethan was arrested, such small matters never required him to handle them personally.
But now that Ethan was arrested and hadn't returned, to ensure things went smoothly, Lyle had to do it himself.
When going out, he carefully disguised himself, and only after confirming in the mirror that he no longer looked like the original Lyle did he set off for an orphanage.
He entered as a volunteer bringing charitable donations.
The things he brought were well-received by the children at the orphanage.
The orphanage director, seeing he was a volunteer, let down her guard and asked Lyle to help watch the children while she went to attend to other matters.
After she left, Lyle turned his attention to a girl in the crowd who spoke clearly.
He beckoned to the little girl and said, "Sweetie, let's play a game, okay? If you can do what I say, I'll reward you with a whole jar of candy, okay?"
"A whole jar of candy?"
Children in the orphanage had never received a whole jar of candy. The child's eyes immediately lit up.
Lyle nodded, placed the candy he brought in front of her, pulled out a photo, and said, "Come on, now listen to me..."
Lyle quickly finished his business at the orphanage.
As he left, he called Chase. "Mr. Johnson, I need a favor. Push the online buzz a bit harder."
On the other end of the phone, Chase frowned unhappily. "Dr. Warner, it's not that I don't want to, but there are too many people online who believe Rodolfo now. Our voice has very little effect."
Lyle laughed and said, "Just do it. I have evidence of Rodolfo's crimes."
Chase immediately asked, "What evidence?"
Lyle sent him a video.
In the video was a dirty little girl, with what looked like an orphanage in the background.
She pointed at a photo of Rodolfo in front of the camera, looking pitiful, and said, "This old man touched my body."
Chase hadn't expected to see such a video.
He was completely shocked and asked incredulously, "Dr. Warner, is this real?"
Was that Rodolfo really such a hypocritical pretender?
Lyle said with a smile, "Of course! That's exactly the kind of person Rodolfo is—seeking fame and glory, a hypocrite who uses charity as a cover to satisfy his perversions."
Chase said with disgust, "If that's true, then he deserves to die a terrible death!"
Lyle's tone became pleading. "I hope you can help me with this. I'm at my wit's end. It was only through Ms. Brown's guidance that I could connect with you.
Now that the evidence is solid, I want a chance to get justice for my wife and children!"
Chase had already planned to help him.
Hearing Lyle mention Sophia, he agreed without hesitation. "Dr. Warner, don't worry. I won't let this scum get away with it!"
Chase was a man of action. To perform well in front of Sophia, he started planning that very day how to push this matter to another climax.
That evening, employees in the Johnson Group's media department were about to go home after work when they received a sudden notice.
Management ordered them to break the latest news about Rodolfo as soon as possible.
James, the head of the Johnson Group's media department, couldn't help but ask after hearing Chase's decision, "Mr. Johnson, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Even though Chase had already shown him the video, he still didn't believe it.
Because their company's reporters had been digging into Rodolfo's affairs these past few days but hadn't found any dirt at all.
On the contrary, everything they found was a pile of touching stories about his good deeds.
James couldn't believe that Rodolfo would molest a young girl.
Chase said in a deep voice, "This matter has video evidence. What are you still hesitating about?"
James explained, "I think this video can't serve as evidence.
Nowadays, a lot of things online are fake.
As professional media, I think what this little girl in the video is saying sounds a bit like she's reciting something."
Netizens wouldn't believe it easily.
Chase wouldn't listen. He was single-mindedly focused on going after Olivia.
Wasn't Olivia so proud before because she had Rodolfo backing her up?
That birthday party was organized so grandly just to show off to people like them!
Olivia just wanted to slap them in the face.
Now, he was going to destroy Olivia's support, and see how proud she could be in the future.
Seeing his determined attitude, James didn't know what else to say and could only comply.
That evening, Olivia had just put Bianca to sleep when she suddenly received an unexpected phone call.
Her expression showed some surprise as she answered.
A few seconds later, her face suddenly turned gloomy, filled with shock and anger, and even some fear!
After hanging up, her mood became somewhat panicked.
"The Johnson Group plans to falsely accuse Rodolfo of molesting a young girl, and they claim they already have evidence. This will be published online soon." The informant's words still echoed in her ears.
Olivia felt her body start to turn cold.
The Johnson Group!
They still wanted to frame Rodolfo!
Olivia didn't doubt the informant or their words.
Because the Johnson Group was just that shameless.
But what would their so-called evidence be?
Olivia tried hard to calm herself down, her mind racing with thoughts about how she should respond, unable to sleep at all.
