"John... I..."
Jenny clutched at the hem of her dress, gathering the courage to meet her husband's gaze, but the words in her mouth just couldn't come out.
"Don't say it, I understand!"
The military officer gritted his teeth, unable to control his raging anger, as he abruptly stood up from the audience seat.
Jenny, looking at the continuously flashing cameras, knew that this affair would ultimately be relayed back to the homeland of the Beautiful Country, then to be despised by thousands.
"John, for the sake of your career, could you please not be rash?"
Her words only managed to fan the flames. John grabbed his wife's shoulders and shook her violently, bellowing, "Why! I have been so good to you! Why would you do this to me!"
"I'm sorry, John..."
Jenny's tears flowed relentlessly as she sobbed, "It was Joshua Child who tempted me into making a mistake, and then he... he even threatened me with the photos, ordering me to obey his every command, or else he'd release them..."
Jenny, a very clever woman, knew that the people of her country had an even lower tolerance for the 'other woman' than for those who cheat, and if the coercion was proven true, Joshua Child might even be taken to court.
As for the truth of the matter, first, Joshua Child really had taken pictures of her, even videos, but all of these were consensual acts, yet if a judge were to see them, they would certainly be used as evidence!
Second, was the affair of a military officer's wife really something to be proud of? Would the public start doubting those high and mighty congress members of the Beautiful Country when the news broke?
A decline in credibility is something the higher-ups never want to see!
So, they would surely try to downplay the incident as much as possible, even if there were faults, they'd probably be pinned on Joshua Child, the disposable pawn.
One must admit, Jenny knew how to kill two birds with one stone!
"And what about the child! What's the deal with the child!"
In a fit of rage, the military officer abruptly dismissed the ambassador's attempts to calm him and swept his hand to the side.
"Before I met you, he..."
Jenny wailed, "I had no choice, I knew I was a month pregnant, and he suggested that he find me a glamorous family to marry into..."
"Ah!"
The military officer threw back his head and howled, ranting like a madman, "Joshua Child! You beast!"
Jenny indeed was introduced to him by Joshua Child at a party, where they both drank until they were dizzy. The next day, he woke up to find Jenny lying beside him.
Song Yun cupped his hands around his mouth to form a megaphone and shouted, "Does the officer only have the guts to hit women?"
The anger that the officer had forcefully suppressed flared up once again.
Except for the reporters outside, everyone else couldn't help praying in their hearts, hoping that Song Yun, this calamity star, would just shut up!
The officer turned back, his gaze sharp as a blade as he stared at Song Yun and said word by word, "Mr. Song, thanks for this, but I still know what dignity is. I'll deal with Joshua Child later!"
After speaking, his gaze gradually shifted to Joshua Child, and poor Joshua Child, a grown man, felt a warm sensation running down his thigh.
The officer left, and the ambassador let out a deep sigh as he watched this farce unfold.
Today's events would probably cause a huge commotion internationally!
He left with his wife, not even glancing at Jenny lying on the ground, shielding against the flashing lights of the reporters as he hurried away.
Joshua Child suddenly felt a sense of relief, at one point he even thought the officer would come up and beat him to death!
"Help... help someone..."
Joshua Child said with a dry mouth and parched tongue.
His servants immediately called the hospital, and then a group of people carried the unconscious Jenny out of the exhibition hall.
No one knew why things had developed this way.
Song Yun walked up to Joshua Child, smiling, and said, "Mr. Joshua Child, regarding some illegal activities your company has done in Magic Capital, I've found evidence and handed it over to the relevant departments, heh, you know what I'm talking about, right?"
Joshua Child broke out in a cold sweat instantly; he naturally knew what Song Yun meant. It was about espionage...
Right now, he desperately wanted to return to the Beautiful Country, then hide at home, and never go out again!
Today's task was completed, Song Yun waved at the reporters, and left with his people.
Joshua Child, looking at the eager eyes of the reporters below, knew that if he didn't leave quickly, he might fill the newspaper pages with his scandal the next day!
He was escorted out in a hurry by his subordinates. Once in the car, the secretary took a call and then reluctantly handed the phone to Joshua Child.
"Boss, it's a call from your father..."
Joshua Child's just relaxed heart tensed up again.
Terrified, he nervously took the phone...
