Chapter: 6000
She immediately collapsed and cried, shouting, "Howard sir, I didn't flirt with Matt! He's been flirting with me, brainwashing me, making me betray Charles and have an affair with him! You shouldn't believe his denials!"
At this moment, in the video conference room, the betrayed Charles Rosenthal cried out, "Grandpa, you must definitely uphold justice for me!"
Howard's face turned iron-hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "Matt, you're truly a shame to the Rosenthal family! Right now, I'm giving you an opportunity to make up for your mistakes. Immediately confess to the public that everything that happened with Bruce Wayne and Chloe is your personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Rosenthal family. At the same time, immediately turn yourself in to the police. If you do as I say, your father can still remain in the Rosenthal family until you are released from prison."
Howard's tone changed suddenly, sternly saying, "But if you don't do what I say, I'll personally send you to jail and then kick out your entire family from America!"
Matt asked with a bewildered look, "Grandpa... What happened to Bruce Wayne?! He's just my dog down there. Why should I take the blame for him?"
Howard scolded angrily, "You numbskull, go check out short-video platforms! Bruce Wayne exposed you and your entire family's video, as well as the video of you having an affair with his wife, which has already topped the North American charts!"
After saying that, Howard continued, "All three of you performed well. Report to the family tomorrow morning, and don't follow this worthless person!"
Jack, along with his two subordinates, heard these words and immediately looked pleased. However, Howard didn't wait for them to express gratitude; he directly kicked Jack's account out of the live broadcast.
Jack discovered the video connection was interrupted and slightly embarrassedly said to Matt: "Young master, these are requirements from our patriarch, Mr. Howard. We have no way of disobeying, so I'm sorry."
After that, he gave a nod to his two subordinates, and the three of them directly exited the room.
For them, what happened tonight was equivalent to completing a difficult promotion within the Rockefeller family.
Among the members of the Rockefeller family, those who can serve direct descendants are naturally higher in status than those serving collateral line members. However, the highest-ranking member of the family is someone who serves Howard directly, because after all, Howard is the emperor of this ancient family, and other direct descendants are just vassals.
As a result, they were caught by Howard's attention and naturally won't put Matt, who has already been disfavored, in their sights again.
After leaving, Matt quickly took out his phone, closed the flight mode, and immediately opened the short-video platform.
Unexpectedly, since his IP address was located within the United States, the algorithm directly pushed two related videos to the top of the page.
Matt nervously opened the video, looking more and more shocked as he watched. The first thought that flashed through his mind was to kill Bruce Wayne; however, immediately following the second thought, he completely suppressed this impulse.
He was very clear about his current situation.
As those two videos were exposed, Bruce Wayne became a person he could never kill for his entire life.
Even more messed up was that Grandfather Howard made him take care of all Peter-related matters, knowing that adultery in the United States wasn't illegal, but manipulating federal prisons, influencing judicial fairness, and abusing private law - these were all crimes with no exception.
Once he took on these charges, it meant he would at least spend a few years in prison and become a complete laughingstock in America, where everyone would shout "Get out of the way!"
Scandals in the United States never mattered, but political scandals were fatal.
At the time when Matt was unsure what to do, the Rosenthal family video conference was still ongoing.
Charles, who had been betrayed and had the green hat put on him, was already on the verge of collapse at this point. He shouted loudly in the video, demanding that Matt's father give him an explanation.
Meanwhile, Charles' father was also putting pressure on Howard, furious saying: "Father! Whatever you say, Matt and his family must be given an explanation, or I won't agree!"
For Charles' father, his son had been shamefully humiliated by his own nephew in front of the whole family core members. If he didn't get an explanation, they would become laughingstocks within the family forever, unable to lift their heads again. JrNovels.com
