Chapter 773
Brayden watched the video and became angry. "The Ritter family is sorich that they can even buy off this bullied old lady. They can evenrelease a clarification video."
Jenna's face turned pink, her cherry lips slightly parted, and her cleareyes stared at the video. "The Ritter family is too scary.”
It seems that money really does make the world go round. How couldthey do such a thing? This is like turning the tables on them; theirprevious release of Ashlyn's bad temper and spoiled image has beenredeemed by this video clip.
"We should go downstairs," Brayden put away his phone with a seriousexpression, naturally taking Jenna's small hand as he walked outside.Jenna blushed at his natural gesture but knew that now was not thetime for romance; it was important to figure out how to deal with thesituation.
Inside the restaurant, Cody and Mrs. Wright sat at a table with anintense atmosphere.
Lexie didn't know what had happened exactly but saw Secretary Codyanswer a call before his face turned dark.
She quickly brought all of their food to their table before leaving themalone.
"Dad, the Ritter family has made new moves," Brayden said eagerly assoon as he sat down.
“I already know," Cody replied in a deep voice. "The Ritter family isindeed difficult to handle; we just hit them back after they hit us.”
"But they clearly cheated!" Brayden gritted his teeth in anger. "Whatshould we do now?"
"Hmph... even if they replace another old lady witness again, it's still truethat Ashlyn pushed Jenna," Cody sneered coldly. “They haven't woncompletely yet."
"Moreover, although the Ritter family is rich and controls Graley PianoCompetition through Mrs. Ritter's influence on Piano Association... dothey really think winning it will be easy?" Cody looked serious as hecontinued speaking, "We need to consider this matter carefully sincethere are no breakthroughs from Ashlyn's side.”
"There must be other places where we can seek help,” he added whilethinking about how someone hired by the Ritters almost killed him. Hecouldn't let this slide without any consequences! Besides, there werealso some people who were caught during that incident. Maybe one ofthem knows something more about who orchestrated everythingbehind-the-scenes... It looks like more effort needs to be put intoinvestigating these matters further!
"Let's eat first," Mrs. Wright said, feeling anxious. But she still looked atJenna with concern. "Jenna, you're leaving for the competition in a fewdays. How's your piece coming along?"
Jenna looked hesitant. “I wrote one, but I don't know if it's any good. Isent it to Sylvia and hope she can give me some feedback."
"It's okay, it's just a competition," Mrs. Wright reassured her daughter.“You're still young and if this doesn't work out, we can try again nexttime."
She served Jenna some food and continued speaking to both of herchildren, "Now that your father has become an official in Urgford,you've seen how power hasn't brought us any benefits - only trapseverywhere we turn. So when you go out there to do things or speak upfor yourselves, be careful with what you say."
"We understand,” Brayden nodded.
Jenna tilted her head like an attentive student listening carefully to thelesson.
Brayden couldn't help but feel drawn to her delicate charm.
Just as the Wright family was figuring out how to deal with the Ritterfamily situation, Cody received a phone call.
"Cody, that video is fake," came Sylvia's calm voice on the other end ofthe line.
“I know it's fake; The Ritter family must have paid off that old lady whomade up those false documents,” Cody replied confidently.
"No no no... I mean that old lady is fake too! The one who got into afight with Ashlyn wasn't even her!" Sylvia spoke coldly yet calmly asalways, exuding an air of composure even in tense situations like thisone.
"What are you talking about?" Cody was surprised by this revelationfrom Sylvia.
“The Ritter family just found some random old lady; they blurred out herface so nobody knows what she really looks like!" Sylvia explainedpatiently while rolling her eyes at how desperate their opponents weregetting now.
It seemed like there was nothing Sylvia didn't know about...
"How did you replace out?" Cody asked curiously again.
As if there were anything going on in this world without Sylvia knowingabout it?
"Because... I was actually there!" With those words spoken firmly bySylvia's lips over the phone line before hanging up abruptly once more.Sylvia then noticed someone had entered into room without knocking —closing door behind them — so she quickly put away her phone.
She lifted up her head only see a man walking towards him beforepocketing cell phone back inside purse once more...
Franklin walked towards her step by step, with a seductive smile on hislips and his gaze fixed straight on her.
The man stood in front of her and asked, "Have you finished yourphone call?"
"Yes." Sylvia nodded, only to see Franklin's smile deepen and becomemore genuine. Sylvia couldn't quite understand what this man was upto.
Franklin suddenly lifted her up by the waist and placed her on the table,making her face him at eye level.
Sylvia looked confused with a question mark on her face, "?"
Franklin suddenly leaned in close and whispered in a low voice, “Then Ican kiss you."
Sylvia looked closely into the man's eyes, his pupils were particularlycaptivating.
"Do I look so handsome that you can't take your eyes off me?"Franklin's tone remained calm, not at all like he was flirting with her, buthis Adam's apple bobbed up and down as if he was suppressingsomething.
Sylvia gradually realized that the way men looked at her was like theywere sizing up prey, which was completely different from their usualcold and restrained demeanor.
She instinctively tried to push him away, but ended up beingcounterattacked by the man.
He lowered his head and accurately wordlessly captured her lips, as ifa hunter suddenly launching an attack.
The man held her waist with one hand and leaned on the nearby tablewith the other.
For a while, he didn't let go of her.
"Franklin!" Sylvia called out angrily to him.
The man's gaze was extremely aggressive as he deeply scrutinized herrosy little face. "You're going to the Graley Piano Competition in a fewdays, will you take me with you?"
In Sylvia's ears, it sounded like saying, "If you dare to leave me behind,I will keep kissing you until you agree to take me with you today.”
Did she understand correctly?
At this moment, Franklin immediately hugged her in his arms again, hiseyes seemed to want to tear her apart.
At this moment, there suddenly came a sound of footsteps from outsidethe door.
Sylvia struggled with all her might to break free from the man's grasp."Franklin, are you crazy? This is your MI6 office.”
Franklin, who was pushed, is breathing unsteadily.
Two buttons on the shirt have come undone, and the collar is wrinkled.Sylvia couldn't help but admit that Franklin was oozing with sex appealand was incredibly charming. Just then, there was a knock on the doorand Sylvia jumped off the table.
"Come in," Franklin's voice sounded husky.
"Master Franklin, the club from Ritter Group has invited us to play afriendly game against them at MI6. Should we accept?" Vaughn rushedin with his report.
Ritter Group?
Again, Ritter Group?
This was clearly a blatant provocation.
All of Club Ritter's players were professional basketball players whohad even won awards in domestic basketball competitions.
They actually invited MI6, an amateur team, to play basketball againstthem?
This was clearly their way of humiliating MI6.
First they humiliated Cody and now they wanted to humiliate MI6 too?Franklin's face darkened slightly as he coldly chuckled. "Of course weshould accept!"
“If we don't accept it, won't people look down on us?" Sylvia raised hereyebrows challengingly.
Did they really think that MI6 had no one capable enough?
MI6 had a huge area which included a basketball court whereemployees often participated in sports activities. Although there mightbe some differences between amateurs and professionals, it wasn't likethey were completely inferior either.
Moreover, one of the basic requirements for joining M16 was martialarts proficiency or at least self-defense skills.
Did outsiders really think that all employees at MI6 were weaklings whocouldn't defend themselves?
"Can we schedule the league game for Saturday?" Vaughn askedFranklin.
“Yes. We'll have training every night until then,” Franklin replied sternly."Everyone who wants to participate can sign up and will be selectedbased on merit."
"Yes Master Franklin."
Every club has its own base which includes training grounds andheadquarters.
Club Ritter is backed by The Ritter Group so it is wealthy beyondmeasure; everything within their base exudes luxury.
The club manager stared incredulously when he heard his assistant'sreport: "What did you say? Did you say that even MI6 accepted?"“Yes! They want to schedule it for Saturday,” replied the assistantlooking equally amazed while scrolling through Facebook
“It's ridiculous that he dared to accept the challenge. Franklin reallydoesn't know his place. Our club is professional, and there's no wayMI6 can win!" The manager laughed triumphantly. "Let's immediatelytweet the time of the match to our followers. And even though it's afriendly game, since we're the ones who initiated the challenge, wehave every right to arrange everything."
"Manager, what do you mean?" The assistant was a little confused.“You're so naive! We can't charge admission for a friendly game, butwhy not livestream it? Hurry up and post a preview of the livestream onour club's short video account.” The manager tapped his assistant onthe head. "And let's get some more sponsors on board too. We need tohype up this match as much as possible so that... MI6 will lose faceeven more!”
