Chapter 253 Personal Motives, Human Nature
The moment Magnus saw Tobias, he had a bad feeling.
Without missing a beat, Tobias confronted him and slapped him. He pointed at him angrily and cursed, "Bastard, you're worse than a bastard. How could you do that to Serenity? She is your niece!"
This unexpected slap caught Magnus off guard, and Tobias's words left him confused.
Tobias brought people from the television station and made it quite a scene. Colleagues from the law firm gathered around to see what was happening.
Magnus asked in confusion, "Tobias, what's going on? What happened to Serenity?"
"You're still pretending, you scumbag," Tobias looked at Magnus as if he was looking at an enemy. His sharp gaze cut through Magnus's longing for family.
Before Magnus could understand what was happening, a journalist from the television station held a microphone up to him and asked, "So you're Magnus, Serenity's uncle. Serenity is only five years old. Is it true that you molested her? How could you do such a thing to a young child?"
"Molested?" Magnus thought he had misheard and looked incredulous.
Colleagues from the law firm were also shocked. They discussed it among themselves, their gazes filled with curiosity and disdain toward Magnus.
The television camera was pointed in their direction, and a live interview started. Tobias faced the camera and accused, "Serenity is still so young, and this scumbag, he did something like this. My eldest son is paralyzed and unable to take care of himself. My wife and I are in poor health. This scumbag of a son suggested Serenity sleep with him, and we didn't think much of it. Who knew he could do something like this? If it weren't for our granddaughter telling us, this scumbag would have kissed and hurt her."
Tobias suddenly stopped speaking; his expression filled with anguish.
He deliberately paused, which ignited the imagination of others.
After hugging and kissing, what else was left to be done?
As long as they were adults, they naturally thought of the next step.
Tobias's words were vivid, and it seemed like such a thing had happened. This resonated with the journalists, stirring up anger among the livestream viewers.
It was a live stream, and such a big revelation naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The television program was already popular and had a high viewership. As the situation developed, more and more people watched it online.
The female journalist became angry and questioned Magnus, "Lawyer Magnus, how can you do such a thing? How long has this been going on? What else have you done to your young niece? As a lawyer, this is illegal. You are breaking the law."
"Rubbish!" Magnus was on the verge of exploding. "I haven't done anything wrong. They removed the camera without my permission. It is a violation of rights."
Magnus had been holding back for so long, but all the frustration finally burst out. He went up to Tobias and questioned him with aching sorrow, "Tobias, why are you talking nonsense? Why did you bring the reporters? Is it because of the house? I'm your son! How could you do this? You're going to ruin me."
Magnus was overwhelmed with emotions. It felt like his loved ones were piercing his chest with a sword. It was unbearable.
Every word from Tobias felt like a sword.
"You destroyed Serenity, and yet you dare to say these things." Tobias was even more furious than Magnus. "You bastard! Serenity even said it. Do you dare deny it? You dare harbor such despicable thoughts."
These were all words that Jett had taught Tobias earlier.
Tobias, as his biological father, accused Magnus, even if it wasn't true. The mud had been thrown, and Magnus couldn't clean it off.
Colleagues started buzzing with discussions.
"I never expected Magnus to be like this."
"Isn't this "a wolf a sheep's clothing"?"
"I really couldn't tell."
"He even targeted his niece."
The colleagues' comments were relatively tactful compared to the harsh insults online.
Stimulated by public opinion, Magnus was overwhelmed with anger and lost control of his emotions. He roared at Tobias, "Tobias, why are you framing me? I'm your son. What did I do wrong?"
To outsiders, Magnus losing control seemed like an attack on his father.
The female reporter quickly turned the camera toward them, capturing the live-streaming viewers' attention for a more dramatic effect.
Seeing the growing popularity of the live streaming, the female reporter was excited. It was all her achievement.
