Chapter 307
“You “Cedrick threw a punch. It almost hit Harlan’s nose, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Cedrick.”
Harlan grabbed his fist. “I knew you couldn’t do it. We’ve been brothers for so many years. Everything I did was for you, for the company.”
In the end. Cedrick’s punch landed heavily on the Roman pillar beside him. “Do you have any idea? Because of what you did, Lucille and I… we’re really over…”
Over on Robert’s side, he was cutting Lucille’s steak while saying, “Edwin just told me something.”
“What is it?”
Lucille was still looking at her phone, but she was just organizing her things.
“Someone bribed the banquet hall’s technician to project the video that’s on the trending topics list right now.”
Robert pushed the plate with the cut steak over to her.
“Huh?”
“Looks like they want to take everyone down with them.”
Robert said, “Since they can’t get my cooperation anyway, they figure no one should have it good?
Is that the mentality?”
Lucille, for one, didn’t understand that kind of mentality.
“I was being considerate of you, I really wanted a respectable dinner. But since they insist on being so classless, and you’re not upset by it, then let’s just give them what they want.
Robert looked down at her. “You’re really not upset?”
She definitely wouldn’t be the one embarrassed, only the player and the other woman would be. He was just afraid of hurting Lucille’s feelings.

Lucille calmly shook her head. “Robert, go ahead. Also, take my phone. I just organized a folder, you can use the stuff inside.”
She pushed the phone to her brother.
Robert was gone for a moment and then came back, handing her phone back to her.
After that, the large screen in the banquet hall came to life.
It was that edited video.
Projected on the big screen, it made the editor’s skill even more apparent, perfectly capturing Lucille’s arrogance and rudeness, and Maricela’s pitiful vulnerability.
Not everyone had seen the slapping incident when it happened.
Through word of mouth, people generally knew what had happened, but now, seeing this video, they couldn’t help but wonder: were the rumors wrong?
Was it reported incorrectly?
It was the complete opposite of what they had just heard?
But no one took a side, for now just watching it as entertainment.
Someone suddenly shouted, “We in Seaston don’t welcome such an arrogant capitalist!
She shouldn’t come here to invest!
And she shouldn’t come for a partnership either!”
This shout only stirred up some light murmuring from the crowd; no one joined in.
But as if in response to the shout, the projection switched to the trending topics list interface.
Every repost from the clickbait social media accounts on the trending topics list, every curse and comment under each repost, all appeared on the big screen.
There was someone pushing this to the top of the trending list.
Everyone was very familiar with this kind of trick.
Meanwhile, Cedrick was glaring so hard at Harlan’s face it was as if he could burn two holes into

Cedrick’s face was ashen. “Twisting the truth like this, what have you made Lucille out to be?
And you had them project it on the screen?
How is Lucille supposed to establish herself in Seaston after this?”
Harlan threw up his hands. “What’s the big deal?
She doesn’t go out much anyway, and it’s not like we haven’t talked about her before.”
A buzz went off in Cedrick’s head.
She doesn’t go out much anyway…
And it’s not like we haven’t talked about her before…
The memory came rushing back from two months ago, when she came to the restaurant to find him. Harlan and the others were talking about her foot, and Harlan even imitated the she
