Chapter_48
The moment the sharp noise blared through the speakers, the entire press conference room fell into a stunned silence. The audience turned to the source of the sound, eyes widening in confusion. Everyone was unsure what was happening—until the screen flickered to life.
A video began to play, and the audience’s confusion quickly turned to shock. It was a recording of Dylan Gardner himself, speaking to someone in a darkened room. The image was grainy but unmistakable, and the conversation was crystal clear. Dylan was instructing someone to fabricate the evidence against Michael Grant, to frame him for bribery, and to plant false documents that would incriminate him. He was caught in the act of orchestrating the entire scandal.
As the video played, the crowd’s murmurs turned into a full-blown uproar. The camera zoomed in on Dylan’s face, now ashen, his composure faltering. It was the smoking gun, the irrefutable proof of his deceit.
Dylan’s mouth went dry. He stumbled backward, almost as if the video had physically knocked him off balance. He was no longer the confident CEO making bold guarantees—he was a man exposed, his web of lies unraveled in front of an audience that would never let him forget this moment.
Alyssa, watching from the car, couldn’t help but smile. She’d expected a fight, but she had also anticipated that Dylan’s desperation would push him to play his trump card prematurely. What he hadn’t known was that she had already prepared the perfect counterattack. The video was a calculated move—a result of her own planning. She had managed to get her hands on the footage of Dylan’s earlier conversations, and when the moment came, she struck.
The tension in the press conference hall was palpable, and the reporters were quick to seize the moment. Their cameras zoomed in on Dylan, eager to capture the fallout.
“Mr. Gardner, care to explain this?” one of the reporters asked, her voice laced with disbelief.
Dylan opened his mouth, but no words came out. He looked like a man on the edge of collapse. His mind raced, but it was too late—his lies had been exposed for the world to see.
Alyssa’s gaze hardened as she watched the chaos unfold. She wasn’t done yet. This was only the beginning. With Dylan’s credibility shattered, the Gardner Group would soon be left scrambling to clean up the mess he had created. And as for Alyssa? She was just getting started. She knew there was still more to do, more people to expose, and more power to take.
As the storm raged on, Alyssa leaned back in her seat, savoring the moment. Dylan’s downfall was only one part of the grand game she was playing. She could already see the pieces of the puzzle coming together.
