Tang Shuo, an ace soldier who retired from the mysterious organization '037', accidentally became the bodyguard of a stunning female celebrity.
From then on, various 'troubles'...
Chapter 441: Exposure
The Times, meeting room.
A middle-aged man with a big belly hurried into the office and said to Jeff who was sitting inside: "Jeff, is what you said true?"
Jeff, who was on the phone, immediately replied, "Of course. The technical department is currently conducting an assessment and the results will be out soon."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Show me the video."
Jeff pushed the computer in front of him and said, "This is it."
The middle-aged man didn't even finish watching the video. He paused halfway through and asked Jeff, who had already hung up, "Have you reserved the space?"
"The first 50,000 copies have been sent out, but I have asked someone to keep the rest, so they can be changed at any time," Jeff replied.
"This matter is too crucial. We can't be careless." The middle-aged man said, "We'll discuss it again when Gao Fu arrives."
"Editor-in-Chief, we can't let other newspapers get there first!" Jeff said immediately. "I want to wait until we can confirm the authenticity of the story before publishing it directly on the news page and posting the video on our website. That's how we can get attention the fastest."
"If this matter is not handled properly, it might offend the royal family and the Laurendo family." The middle-aged man was still a little hesitant.
Revealing the princess's fiancé's misconduct on her wedding day would inevitably make the royal family feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the Laurent family's wealth and influence in Europe could not be underestimated, and if they offended them, they would undoubtedly bear a grudge.
"Editor-in-Chief, we don't have time to hesitate any longer," Jeff advised. "I think all the newspapers will be concerned about this matter, and everyone will have some reservations. But if we expose it first, the attention will continue to be on us. This opportunity won't come again."
At this time, a man wearing glasses knocked on the door of the conference room and said, "Editor-in-Chief, the video has been confirmed and is real."
Seeing this, Jeff immediately said, "Editor-in-Chief, let's get started!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment with a painful expression, then slammed the table and said, "I'm going to call the president now to explain this matter. You go and contact the publication."
Jeff's face lit up with joy, he immediately agreed, and ran out happily to make arrangements.
…
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
After the story of Carl and Mary was exposed, it spread all over the Internet in an instant.
The vulgar dialogue before the scene in particular sparked public outrage. The royal family was passed down as a symbol of the people on whom the sun never sets. No one could have imagined it would become so filthy.
The royal family got wind of the news before the general public. But the news had already spread. There was no way to control it.
Since loss of face is inevitable, the royal family can only seek compensation from other aspects.
After watching the video, the royal family immediately announced the cancellation of the wedding originally scheduled for today, questioned the Lawrence family, and demanded a sky-high compensation.
The patriarch of the Lawrence family was furious. After he recovered a little, he solemnly stood up to apologize to the people and expressed his willingness to accept compensation.
Buckingham Palace.
When Louise heard that the wedding was cancelled, she was so overjoyed that she cried in her bedroom for more than half an hour.
After sending Xiao Chuxia away, Louise was basically in a confused stage, and was finally forced to compromise.
Although the conversation before the video had some impact on her personal reputation, she didn't care about these things at all. Now she just wanted to see Tang Shuo and Xiao Chuxia as soon as possible.
She had thought about taking little Chuxia away before, but considering Chuxia's age and the kindness of her parents in raising her, and the lack of news from Tang Shuo, Louise could never make up her mind.
But through this incident, Louise felt that she had repaid some of her parents' kindness in raising her, and compared to before, she would not feel as guilty as before, and she also wanted to pursue her own happiness.
Dong…Dong…
There was a knock on the door, and Miranda pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom. Looking at Louise with tears on her face, she said, "Sister, are you okay?"
“It’s okay.” Louise wiped her tears, stood up and said to Miranda with a smile: “Sister, I finally don’t have to marry Karl.”
Miranda also smiled, and after helping Louise sit down again, she asked anxiously, "So what are your plans now? There are rumors in the first half of the video that are unfavorable to you, which may have some impact on you."
Although Miranda was smiling, if you look closely you can easily see that her smile was very forced, and it would not be an exaggeration to even describe it as a forced smile. Moreover, the tone of her questioning tone was a little different from usual.
But Louise didn't notice any of this at all. She was not concerned about this matter at all.
"I don't care about those rumors." Louise replied.
"Didn't you say before that he would take you away? When was that?"
"We are ready..." Louise originally wanted to say what Tang Shuo said to her, but she swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue.
Louise then shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet, let's take a break for a while!"
"It's better to take a rest. I won't disturb you for now." Miranda smiled and comforted Louise, then got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Tang Shuo made the call in front of her, and she vaguely heard what the other party said. Later, Louise told her directly that Tang Shuo wanted to take her away.
She had never expected things to develop to this point, so she had not cared about these things before.
But who knew that Louise's temperament would change so drastically, she became so tight-lipped that she wouldn't reveal anything to her.
In fact, it was not that Louise had changed at all. Louise was just worried that what she said would make Miranda and her family worry.
Miranda paused as she walked out of the bedroom, and a bodyguard in a black suit immediately stepped forward.
"Keep an eye on her and report her location at any time!" Miranda gave the order and walked directly towards her bedroom.
As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, her cell phone rang.
Miranda answered the phone, and a man's voice immediately came out. "Have you found out where?"
"Didn't I tell you that I would contact you? Don't bother me casually!" Miranda did not answer the other party's question, but scolded the other party angrily.
The man on the other end of the phone sneered and said, "I'm done. Now I just want revenge. If you don't cooperate with me, I'll tell others about what happened between us."
Miranda sneered, "Do you dare to stand up now? Besides, who would believe what you say?"
"I have transferred a casino under my name to you. This is the evidence!" said the man on the other end of the phone proudly.
Miranda said confidently, "But I haven't signed yet. I can find someone else to replace me when the time comes."
"you……"
"Idiot! If your men weren't stupid, how could things have turned out like this?"
Miranda cursed, and it seemed that she had let go of some of the resentment in her heart. She said, "I'll contact you when I have news. Just be patient."
"I understand." The man on the other end of the phone said hatefully.
"Oh right." Miranda said with a smile, "You better hide well and don't expose yourself. Everyone is looking for you now!"
"Don't bother!" the man replied and then hung up the phone.
Miranda snorted lightly, kicked off her high heels, and then lay down on the sofa.
The person who just called was Carl. When he realized that the situation was hopeless, he immediately contacted her to sign a property transfer agreement, asking only Miranda to provide the location of the one-armed man and then take revenge.
Although Carl's incident caused a great sensation, it was ultimately just a moral incident, but the object was slightly special, so the property transfer agreement he signed was still valid.
Miranda's original plan was to continue to use Carl, first signing two cooperation agreements, acquiring shares in two casinos in Basel, and then kicking Carl out.
But given Carl's current situation, he has obviously lost control of both casinos, so even if he signs an agreement, it will not have much effect.
In the end, he gave her a casino he owned, located in the slightly more remote area of Saint-London, near Basel. Since she also harbored a grudge against the one-armed man, she immediately agreed to his request.
