Chapter 745 Unsightly Scene Irked by the othersâ criticism, Samuel unbuttoned his cufflinks, exposing his forearms.
Scanning everyone with a hint of coldness in his eyes, he scoffed, âSince when has the Bowers family started playing such underhanded tactics? There isnât any concrete evidence to convict Natalie of poisoning my grandpa, and youâre already blowing things out of proportion. It only makes me wonder. Is it because you canât wait to seek justice for my grandpa or because you want to pull me down for your own sake?â
In a split second, everyoneâs face fell.
Reubenâs face turned grim instantaneously.
Seconds later, Samuel added casually, âReuben Bowers, as the second elderâs eldest son, youâre seemingly a lot older than me.
Thus, you should have a clearer insight into everything than I do. Donât you know that the age factor is not the key to becoming the patriarch of a family?â
Blowing his gasket, Reuben snarled, âWhat do you mean? How could you humiliate me?â
âAh! It seems you can hardly wait to be the patriarch of the Bowers family,â Samuel sneered.
Reuben blushed crimson and growled in exasperation, âHow could you slander me? Iâve never said so!â
âReuben Bowers, how could you have the gut to stir up turmoil by telling cock-and-bull stories! From today onwards, youâre officially expelled from the Bowers family and should be having no truck with all of us here in the future. In other words, youâll lose everything!â Samuel snickered as a glint of disdain flickered in his eyes.
His last few words sent Reuben into an instant tizzy, and the latterâs face turned ashen.
Reuben gritted his teeth and bellowed, âSamuel Bowers, who do you think you are? What right do you have to do that? What do you mean by stirring up turmoil by telling cock-and-bull stories? Youâre currently being manipulated by a woman and placing the whole family in deep waters! What misdoing did I commit? I was only exposing your shameful deed!â
Throwing Reuben a glance, Samuel replied placidly, âIâm the patriarch of the Bowers family. Whoâre you then?â
In a blink of an eye, Reubenâs pupils constricted. Unwilling to admit defeat, he put up a brave front. âEveryone, did you see that?
Iâm being kicked out of the Bowers family just because Iâve made a truthful statement. Mark my words. Itâs only a matter of time before all of you have the same fate as me!â
At the same time, those who took Reubenâs side stepped forward one by one.
âRegardless of anything, Reuben is still our second elderâs eldest son, and he has been contributing to the Bowers family all this while. How could he be punished so severely for being truthful? Itâs inhumane!â
âSamuel tends to be swayed by emotion and act impulsively. If he continues to be the patriarch of the Bowers family, weâll face the same fate as Reuben!â
âI agree with you! We must do something about it!â
Shooting Reubenâs lackeys a glance, Samuel arched his brows and snapped, âFine. Since youâre so faithful to him, you can leave together with him. After all, the Bowers family has been kind enough to all the good-for-nothings all these years. Iâll grab this golden opportunity to eradicate all the rotten apples.â
Next, he turned to instruct Billy who was standing beside him, âBilly, let everyone take a look at what Reuben Bowers and the others have done.â
Without hesitation, the latter whipped out his phone. Shortly after, the message notification tone of everyoneâs phones sounded concurrently.
Everyone unlocked their phone screens instinctively and was immediately overwhelmed by the unsightly scenes in the video clips.
In the first video clip, Reuben was flirting frivolously with a few scantily dressed women in a nightclub. Later, he tossed piles of cash notes to them while signing the copies of contracts handed over to him by his client. Everyone could not help but grimace at the repulsive waves of laughter in the video.
Soon, everyone received the second video clip, then the third one, and the fourth one.
Those who spoke up for Reuben a while ago showed up one by one in the video clips. Most of them were involved in tax evasion and led extravagant lifestyles. Obviously, none of the video clips were fabricated, so there was no way they could deny their misdoings.
Subsequently, everyone present gasped in sheer disbelief.
Even Reuben and his lackeys were nonplussed. Undeniably, all these video clips are real! Even so, weâve always been extra careful and didnât leave any trace behind us. So how did someone take the videos? How was it possible for Samuel Bowers to obtain them?
