The venue descended into chaos, with security personnel dispatched to maintain order.
However, due to the scale of the event and the multitude of media outlets invited, all the reporters swarmed toward Theodore, trapping him in the middle and leaving him immobilized. A juicy scandal for the media was like blood in the water for sharks, and the revelation was shockingly scandalous.
Lance Iverson's son-in-law, currently the top-pick candidate in the city's major election, turned out to be a corrupt official who indulged in both wealth and pleasures privately.
Who would not want to be the first to write about such headline news? Everyone was eager to tear Theodore apart for the news.
"Mr. Mayor, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? It's getting difficult to manage the situation here!" The secretary hurried to Mayor Solloway, seeking instructions.
Mayor Solloway was positioned discreetly in a corner, allowing his rival to face the spotlight and wearing a smile that seemed to relish the unfolding drama. "Let's just quietly watch the spectacle. Why go through the hassle? Just make sure my wife and I are kept safe, lest we get splattered in the upcoming uproar."
In response to the escalating situation, the Iversons beefed up security at the hall's entrances.
Soon after, three black sedans pulled up menacingly in front of the main entrance, lined up one after another.
As the car door opened, prosecutors in suits and bearing credentials swiftly disembarked.
Leading the group, Axel had a sharp gaze and a serious expression, a stark contrast to his usual playful nature seen at home. His powerful presence commanded attention, making it difficult for onlookers to look directly at him.
As the prosecutors approached purposefully, the security guards at the entrance looked at each other nervously, daunted by their authoritative approach.
"Please step aside. Don't obstruct our work." Axel spoke calmly, his expression cold and detached.
The security guards dared not stop them and meekly made way for them to pass.
Just as he entered the hall, Axel pressed the Bluetooth headset clipped to his left ear to communicate with his sister. "Bella, I'm inside now."
"Hmm? How did it go so smoothly? That's a bit unexpected." Bella expressed her surprise.
"Heh... Look at who's handling things for you. At crucial moments like this, you still need me..."
However, Axel's boasting lasted barely three seconds before the Iversons' staff swiftly moved in to block them from going in further, like an impenetrable wall.
"Ouch, my dear brother just got humbled!"
Bella's playful laughter rang in Axel's ear. "It doesn't seem as smooth as you thought it'd be."
"You can see me?!" Axel's voice dropped as he quickly looked around.
"Of course. Not only can I see you, but I can also see what's happening inside."
Elsewhere, Bella rested her cheek on her hand, her eyes curving as she watched the besieged Theodore and Lance, who looked like he was in a dilemma, unable to decide whether to stay or leave. Her lips curled up in delight. "It's truly a sight you can't afford to miss."

Before she could finish her sentence,
Justin's warm palm wrapped around Bella's delicate shoulders, gently caressing her. "Don't worry, Bella.
Like I said, I have my men inside. They'll make sure your brother gets in smoothly." The content is on

Upon hearing Justin's words, Bella's eyes shimmered, slightly narrowing as she softly leaned into the man's embrace.
She had always been fiercely independent, whether as his wife or while working abroad with Doctors Without Borders. She was always proud and resolute.
But since Justin came into her life, she had only wanted to be the soft woman by
his side.
After all, no matter what, he always pampered her and provided her with an irreplaceable sense of security.
