Chapter 369 It Was You Who Did It
Ye Wanxi played the recording at maximum volume, and it even had a built-in 3D surround sound effect, echoing in the huge backstage area like a giant loudspeaker.
Eric and his group had been deliberately keeping their voices down when they started picking a fight. Although many models and designers backstage could sense the tense atmosphere between them, most of them couldn't hear or understand what they were saying.
Now that Ye Wanxi has revealed it, everyone backstage has heard it clearly, and the atmosphere has instantly become awkward.
When Han Yue heard someone openly curse Du Yihuan as an adopted bastard, his face darkened instantly, and he sneered, "So in Mr. Eric's eyes, people without Clyde's blood are bastards."
Han Yue's words were so sarcastic that Clyde's face darkened.
These bloodline supporters only knew that Clyde's father's surname was Clyde and that he was a distant relative of the founder of Katherine, but they did not know that Clyde's father had long been expelled from the family.
As for the reason for his expulsion, it was precisely because although he was given the surname Clyde, he did not have the blood of the Clyde family. In fact, it could be said that his existence was a great disgrace to the family.
He was the child born from his mother's affair with her lover, but this huge secret was accidentally exposed when he came of age, and he was expelled from the Clyde family.
However, his adoptive father, who had been cuckolded, did not reveal the secret in order to avoid becoming the subject of gossip.
In addition, since it was a long time ago, most of the people who knew about this matter have passed away, so many people are unaware of this incident and feel that supporting the Clyde family is like supporting the bloodline of a former royal family that was usurped in ancient times.
Sooner or later, power will return to those with the blood of the Clyde family, and they can take advantage of the situation to rise to prominence.
Little did they know, what they were supporting from the very beginning was a joke.
Unfortunately, Han Yue happened to be one of the people who knew about this joke.
Eric's words, spoken in an attempt to please Clyde, unfortunately struck a nerve, inadvertently insulting Clyde as well.
Eric never expected that Ye Wanxi would record the conversation. The moment the recording was played, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"How dare you? How dare you record this? I'm going to sue you!"
Ye Wanxi looked at him as if he were an idiot: "So, you admit that you said all of these things?"
"So what if I said it? Did I say something wrong? He's just a worthless bastard that nobody wants, ah..."
Before Eric could finish speaking, he couldn't help but let out a sharp scream of pain.
The people who had stopped him earlier instinctively took a few steps back, looking terrified as if they had seen a ghost.
Han Yue, who was itching to punch Ye Wanxi, stopped himself and looked at her knowingly.
Ye Wanxi pursed her lips and said with disdain, "Some people are just like that. They clearly don't have the capacity to handle it, but they still insist on making a fuss. They can't take it at all."
"..." It really was you!
Han Yue looked at the person covering their mouth, looking like they wanted to lie on the ground and roll around in a ferocious expression. He secretly admired his sister-in-law's awesomeness, but also admired his own brother.
It takes courage for a brother to find such a wicked sister-in-law. If the couple has a fight or bickering in the future and she gets really angry, their family doesn't know if they'll even see the brother's whole body.
Clyde and Han Yue arrived relatively late, and unlike Han Yue, they hadn't heard about Ye Wanxi's past achievements. Their first reaction upon seeing Eric was...
"What's wrong with him? Did he suddenly fall ill? We need to take him to the hospital quickly!"
Hearing his words, the people around him mustered their courage and said, "Minister, Designer Eric isn't sick; he's been possessed by a demon. It's her, this woman! She's a demon! She said one sentence to Designer Eric, and he turned into this state. It must be a demon's curse!"
Clyde paused, his gaze towards Ye Wanxi filled with a hint of inquiry and questioning.
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow and revealed a wicked smile: "A demon? If I were truly a demon, I would definitely collude with you morally corrupt, selfish, and greedy trash. Why would I curse you?"
"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?" The one who shouted the loudest was none other than the lackey who had previously teamed up with Eric to try and turn the tables on him.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Ye Wanxi's eyes flashed slightly, and she accurately retorted, "Does your wife know that you like to go out and mess around every Friday?"
Henchman Number One: "?!?!"
Onlookers: "Wow!"
Clyde stared in disbelief at his lackey. This guy often boasted about his wonderful love with his wife in the office. Turns out he was a womanizer.
The number one henchman's face turned ashen. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Wanxi had already shifted her gaze away from him and turned her attention to the number two henchman.
Does your wife know you like men?
The second henchman, who had been gloating over his colleague's misfortune, was speechless.
The onlookers, especially the female designers, were speechless. Sure enough, their intuition was right. This kind of man who never forgets to emphasize that he is straight is either homophobic or deeply closeted!
Next up is henchman number three.
"Does your father-in-law know that you're spending his money and taking his things while secretly cursing him and his daughter to die soon?"
My colleague, who had just gotten a glimpse of this juicy gossip, was speechless. It turns out that all those designer clothes and rare items he was wearing were given to him by his father-in-law. This guy who lives off his wife has the nerve to pretend to be a rich kid!
Clyde's expression was also not very good. This subordinate had given him a lot of gifts in an attempt to curry favor with him.
The thought that these gifts were all obtained by him from his father-in-law while he was living off her made Clyde feel extremely uncomfortable.
The designers who came with Eric were all called upon by Ye Wanxi, one by one.
The more they listened, the more horrified and awe-inspiring they became, looking at Ye Wanxi as if she were a monster.
The others weren't stupid either; they could tell from everyone's reactions and expressions that what Ye Wanxi said was true!
Under normal circumstances, if something like this happened, they might have treated Ye Wanxi like Eric's henchmen, regarding her as an outcast, a devil, and even secretly plotting to send her to the gallows.
But recalling Ye Wanxi's words, everyone had to admit that if what she said was true, then she didn't seem like a demon cursing others, but rather a righteous messenger sent by God to judge these morally deficient people.
Ye Wanxi's gaze swept over the group of people before finally settling on Eric.
