Chapter 969: Chapter 969: Denial
His tone was extremely sincere, and the look of shock on his face made the audience almost believe his words.
At this moment, Emma was sitting in the hospital room, watching the live broadcast. A cold smile crossed her pale lips.
She had just thought her father was really going to win, but unexpectedly, he left such a big flaw for others to exploit.
Now, in front of everyone, he was shamelessly shifting all the blame onto her.
Look at his expression, portraying himself as so innocent.
Emma lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with bitterness.
In fact, she also understood that the outcome was decided, and they had become like clowns, manipulated by the Lewis family.
Continuing to argue now seemed utterly ridiculous.
At this moment, the hospital room door was pushed open. Emma saw the reporters enter, and she closed her eyes, silently curling her lips.
...
Owen’s extremely sincere apology almost dispelled everyone’s suspicion against him.
Hope and Aria found his demeanor extremely shameless. At least Emma dared to face the consequences in the end, admitting everything, while Owen shifted all the blame onto his daughter.
But without Owen, Emma alone, especially under police surveillance, absolutely could not have achieved this.
Wyatt sneered, "Owen, are you sure you know nothing?"
"I am sure." Owen’s eyes were firm.
No wonder he’s been in the business world for so many years, showing no sign of panic.
But Hope had long anticipated he would blame Emma.
So she was prepared.
Hope glanced at Thomas, "Bring the person over."
"Yes."
Thomas quickly brought Scarlett out.
The moment Owen saw Scarlett, his expression changed dramatically.
His heart sank heavily, and he looked at Matthew with suspicion and doubt.
Matthew stopped pretending and lowered his head, saying, "Chairman, I’m sorry, the situation is beyond saving, you should just admit it."
Only now did Owen finally see clearly that this person had long betrayed him.
Owen lowered his voice, gritting his teeth, "Just you wait."
Matthew sneered, without replying, stepping aside.
He naturally was waiting, waiting to see Owen’s end.
Scarlett had already reached Wyatt and his group, Wyatt glanced at Owen, "Chairman, you’re quite familiar with this journalist, aren’t you?"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Owen still looked puzzled and said, "Who is she? I’ve never seen her."
Wyatt’s smile turned sarcastic, "Stop pretending, you forgot you repeatedly sent people to threaten her because you knew she had the video?"
"Slandering me, I don’t even know her, how could I threaten her? Don’t just bring someone out to smear me."
Scarlett raised her hand, pointing to Matthew next to Owen, "It was him, yesterday I was almost silenced by this man, he was sent by Owen."
Owen showed no panic, asking, "Miss Journalist, are you sure? Since you said you were almost silenced, why are you standing here speaking so well now?"
Scarlett replied, "Because the bodyguards of the Lewis family protected me."
"Is that so? Empty talk, what evidence do you have?"
"I am the evidence myself. I have no grudge against you, why would I stand up and falsely accuse you if it weren’t true?"
Owen shook his head, saying, "You may not need to falsely accuse me, but those behind you might."
Owen’s words implied that Scarlett had been bought by the Lewis family to frame him.
"And this person." Owen pulled Matthew forward, "Wasn’t he also bought by you? Wyatt, I know you hate Emma for slandering you, but you don’t have to smear me in return, I really have nothing to do with this."
"Shameless." Christopher cursed in anger.
Owen shrugged, "Why call me shameless? I’m just proving my innocence."
Christopher said, "Not you?! Ha, if it weren’t for you, Emma alone could never have orchestrated such a large event."
"I was in the company busy with work all those days, where would I have the energy to plan these?"
Hope raised her phone, constantly checking for messages, as if waiting for something.
Until a message came in, Hope curled her lips, made eye contact with Waylon, and nodded.
The timing was impeccable.
"Since Chairman Owen still claims innocence, let’s look at the big screen."
"What?" Owen was puzzled, could there be more evidence?
Thomas adjusted the screen, and quickly, the latest live broadcast was played on it.
The location was right in Emma’s hospital room.
A dozen journalists almost surrounded Emma.
"Miss Emma, was framing Young Master Lewis your doing alone?"
