"Auntie, do you rember your reaction when Marshall Ferreira said he was attacked because of ?" Oliver Scott stood tall, a chilly look in his eyes, and asked coldly.
Madam Ferreira’s body tensed up imdiately.
"As soon as Marshall said it, you concluded it was my doing. You rallied the elders and Grandpa against , accusing of being heartless, sinister, and vicious at a young age. When the police proved my innocence, you didn’t believe it, claiming my dad bribed them. After it was all over, you didn’t hesitate to badmouth outside." Oliver Scott calmly stated, "This happened not too long ago, you haven’t forgotten, have you, Auntie?"
Oliver Scott’s calm words made Madam Ferreira’s face turn pale and then flush, looking quite unpleasant.
However, after taking a couple of breaths, Madam Ferreira, instead of reflecting and apologizing, coldly rebuked, "Why do you hold grudges, child? Didn’t the police clear you? What did you lose? When your brother was hospitalized, you watched with cold eyes, how could we adults not have sothing to say?!"
"..."
Oliver Scott was montarily stunned by Madam Ferreira’s unreasonable words.
Are there really people this unreasonable?
"Oliver!"
Ernesto Scott’s voice arrived just in ti; he walked out of the precinct with a cold face, heading straight towards the two of them.
Seeing Ernesto Scott, Madam Ferreira took a deep breath and imdiately turned her attention, "Ernesto, after all, our Marshall calls you uncle—"
"Which is why I will thoroughly investigate and help you educate your son well."
Before Madam Ferreira could finish, Ernesto Scott interrupted her.
Madam Ferreira, shocked, widened her eyes, "No, you can’t..."
"When you indiscriminately accused Oliver back then and said you would pursue the matter until the end, you should have known this day would co." Ernesto Scott coldly glanced at her.
Then, looking at Oliver Scott, said, "Let’s go."
Ernesto Scott took Oliver Scott into the police station.

Inside the police station, Madam Ferreira cared about her reputation and reined herself in a bit. But only to the extent of not tangling with Oliver Scott; she urged Mr. Ferreira to quickly make calls for help and contacted family mbers herself to ask them to speak well of Ernesto Scott.
She also quietly felt relieved that Alma Ferreira’s ntal state had been severe recently, and the family didn’t inform her about anything. Otherwise, given Alma’s combative nature, she would’ve torn Madam Ferreira apart.
Ernesto Scott’s phone didn’t stop ringing; one call after another from the Ferreira Family ca in, all pleading for Marshall, saying that after all, they are family, and both Oliver Scott and Marshall are cousins, so no need to fall out. This angered Ernesto Scott greatly, and he refuted each call, eventually just hanging up.
They stayed at the police station until late at night.
Oliver Scott cooperated with the police to make a statent and then firmly refused to resolve the matter privately with Marshall.
As soon as Madam Ferreira heard this, she seed to be infused with energy, charging forward in the dead of night, "Oliver Scott, do you still count as human, wanting to destroy your cousin?! Even now, you still wish to hold him accountable?! Police! Police! I’m certain our Marshall was attacked as part of Oliver Scott’s retaliation! He definitely did it! You must get to the bottom of this—"
And the shouting went on.
Late at night, the police who were working overti, almost fell over from exhaustion after Madam’s shouting.
Annoyed by the uproar, they coldly blocked Madam Ferreira, while letting Ernesto Scott and Oliver Scott leave, already having a clear picture in their minds of "Marshall Ferreira committing such a sinister act."
With such a mother, it’s not surprising the child turned out the way he did.

Nora Scott checked into a hotel, took a shower, and only then rembered to call Pedro Langley.
As soon as the conversation started, Pedro Langley’s voice ca through, "I heard about it from Marcus Shaw. After discussing with Camilo Nogueira, Victor Technology will send a legal notice to Marshall Ferreira demanding compensation for defamation."
Falling onto the sofa, Nora Scott crossed her legs and supported her chin with one hand, "Kicking soone when they’re down, that’s not gracious."
"Businessn like us thrive on kicking others when they’re down. Besides, I hired so internet trolls and trending topics too." Pedro Langley said unhurriedly, "You should be able to see it now."
As long as Marshall admits it, everything will be easy. Any reputation can be turned around.
Nora Scott raised an eyebrow.
She kept the call going, logged into Weibo, and refreshed the trending list. It wasn’t particularly high up, beyond the top ten, just on the list, but its popularity was visibly rising.
Langley didn’t hold back, sohow got his hands on the video, and publicly released the clip of Marshall admitting he used photos to sar Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott.
