Chapter 1264
Although Margaret Swanson was old, it was easy to figure out everything.
However, being easy to coax was not the same as being easy to fool.
Now that things had developed to this point, her heart was like the Sun and Moon Mirror.
However, she still had a trace of doubt. Why didn’t the mask of Melody fall?
-Margaret Swanson still didn’t match the face of the Finale model with Melody Fox.
However, this did not stop Margaret Swanson from being disappointed and angry with Le Qing.
Not only did he want to destroy Melody Fox and Ken Swanson’s happiness, but he also wanted to destroy the Swanson Group!
Even though the Swanson Group would definitely be able to deal with this storm in the end, this storm would not have appeared at all.
Fortunately, things did not develop as Le Qing had planned. Margaret Swanson heaved a sigh of relief and said even more angrily, “No wonder you came to talk to an old woman like me when you just returned to the country, instead of looking for friends around your age. To think that I thought you were really good to an old woman like me. Turns out… all of this is for Melody!”
The live broadcast had already been cut off by Ken Swanson.
Therefore, at this moment, Margaret Swanson’s words would not spread outside this show.
Ken Swanson let Margaret Swanson continue.
“What treat me and Melody to a meal? It’s all for a purpose!
Let me ask you, what grudge does Melody have with you? What do I owe you for you to treat us like this?!”
Margaret Swanson’s words were like slaps to Le Qing’s face.
Her entire face flushed red.
She looked at almost everyone present and retorted helplessly, “No, no, that’s not true. I don’t have any motives…”
Mrs. Le, who was a few years old senior, also came back to her senses and defended Le Qing.
“Margaret Swanson, Le Qing is not that kind of child. Someone must be trying to frame her!”
“That’s right.” Mr. Le also said, “Everyone can’t be certain that it’s the truth just based on a few photos. Our Le Qing has just met that Miss Fox. She doesn’t have any reason or motive to do so. Margaret Swanson, please investigate clearly!”
Margaret Swanson slowly frowned.
There was something else that she could not figure out.
Le Qing did not seem to have any motive to deal with Melody and deal with them.
To a certain extent, the Le Family had to rely on the Swanson family to survive. It was not beneficial for them to torment the Swanson family.
Could it be that it was really a misunderstanding and
someone was trying to frame Le Qing?
Margaret Swanson felt a headache.
She saw Ken Swanson from the corner of her eye and suddenly remembered that she had a grandson here. She immediately asked Ken Swanson what he meant.
“Brother Ken, what do you think?”
Margaret Swanson’s family was used to calling the younger
generation boys “brothers”.
Therefore, everyone knew that he was asking Ken Swanson.
Mrs. Le knelt in front of Ken Swanson.
“Ken, Leqing grew up with you. You know her well. She’s definitely not the kind of child who would do such a ridiculous thing.”
Ken Swanson stared at Le Qing upstairs.
Le Qing clenched her fists tightly. It was unknown if it was because she was nervous or because she was angry at being wronged.
He ignored Mrs. Le and asked Le Qing directly, “Miss Le, what do you think?”
The snowball was thrown back into Le Qing’s hands.
Le Qing did not know if Ken Swanson knew the whole story, but at this point, she naturally would not admit it.
She pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down before saying, “I was wronged.”
When Margaret Swanson heard this, he covered his nose and coughed. “If you’re really wronged, then I…”
“Wait, Grandma.”
Ken Swanson interrupted Margaret Swanson. He looked at Le Qing again and said, “Miss Le, do you know these people?”
With that, he snapped his fingers.
The next second, James Deeds and the others escorted a few people who were tied up with ropes behind their backs out of a side door.
Like Fox, an iron cage covered in black cloth was carried out.
The moment Le Qing saw those people, her expression changed drastically.
The first person to be pushed over was Le Qing’s assistant.
When Mrs. Le saw Le Qing’s assistant tied up, her expression quickly changed and she panicked for some reason.
“Kneel!” James Deeds kicked the assistant’s leg.
The assistant felt pain and knelt down uncontrollably.
James Deeds glanced at the assistant. Then, in front of everyone, he lifted the black cloth of the iron cage.
When the black cloth was lifted, it was actually a cage full of bats.
It was common knowledge that bats carried pathogens and viruses. In addition, they liked dark and humid environments, so everyone could not help but feel uncomfortable when they saw such creatures.
“Zhi zhi zhi-” The sound made everyone present feel a chill on their backs. Some girls were so frightened that they screamed.
Margaret Swanson was closer to the bats. When the black cloth was suddenly lifted, Margaret Swanson was also shocked.
Fortunately, Ken Swanson held Margaret Swanson in advance, so Margaret Swanson did not fall back in fear. Instead, he was held firmly by Ken Swanson.
When Margaret Swanson came back to her senses, she immediately asked Ken Swanson, “What does this mean? Why are there still these disgusting things in the show!”
Ken Swanson patted Margaret Swanson’s shoulder and said, “You’ll have to ask Miss Le about that.”
Margaret Swanson looked at Le Qing appraisingly.
Le Qing’s expression changed again.
She gritted her teeth. Her psychological defense was about to collapse.
“It seems that Miss Le has nothing to say. Then let your assistant speak for you!”
James Deeds heard him and kicked the assistant again.
The assistant’s body trembled. Unable to resist the pressure from Ken Swanson and James Deeds’s threatening gaze, he told him everything.
“It’s a fact that Missy hired fake reviewers to guide public opinion and forced Miss the Swanson Group to chase Miss Melody Fox out of the house under pressure.”
“We tampered with Miss Fox masks. We can control her masks to fall at the appropriate time set to reveal her true appearance.”
“It’s just that we didn’t expect Miss Melody Fox’s true appearance to be so beautiful… So we miscalculated.” “As for those bats…”
“Our original plan was to release the bats after Miss Melody Fox’s masks fell.”
“Bats have always been associated with bad and
inauspicious things like vampires. Miss Fox’s face and the sudden appearance of a large number of bats will definitely cause a commotion at the scene. It will be easier for us to guide public opinion. But, but…”
Ken Swanson continued the assistant’s words-
“However, you didn’t expect that after the masks fell, it would be such a scene. Therefore, you realized that your plan had completely failed and planned to get rid of the bats. What was even more unexpected was that my people discovered that you had obtained these bats and controlled all the people in charge of releasing the bats early in the morning. As soon as you entered the door, you were controlled by my people.”
The assistant lowered his head and confessed to what Ken Swanson said.
