Chapter 254 Unable To Defend Oneself No Matter How Many Arguments Are Made
The reporter said deliberately, "Lawyer Magnus, are you resorting to violence against your father? He is your father, who raised and nurtured you. How can you be so ungrateful?"
Magnus angrily responded, "What's your name? Which TV station are you from? You are spewing defamatory words without evidence. You know nothing! Turn off the camera!"
Magnus was so furious that he lost his rationality. He didn't consider how his words would be misunderstood.
Perhaps he did consider it, but he couldn't control his emotions.
The female journalist ignored Magnus's warnings, turned toward the camera, and stood on moral high ground in front of a large number of internet users. She condemned Magnus, "Everyone has seen it today. This man came seeking our help. He raised his son, but only to be treated this way by his son, and even resorted to such perversion as laying hands on his niece."
"Try saying that again!" Magnus's anger reached its peak, and he smashed the camera directly.
However, this scene was captured on someone else's phone by the staff members of the television station and uploaded online.
To outsiders, Magnus's actions seemed guilty, which was why he acted out of anger and embarrassment.
The public opinion surrounding Magnus's law firm grew louder. Magnus's profession was highly sensitive, and accusations of sexual harassment invoked public anger. In addition, Tobias continuously berated Magnus and escalated the situation. Even Damon, the leader, was alarmed and came out of his office.
After Damon roughly understood the situation, he quickly had the security personnel remove the television station staff and asked Magnus to leave first. If they continued to stalemate, the problem would only become worse.
Damon led Magnus away while Tobias continued to curse at him from behind.
Once they reached a safe place, Damon asked, "Magnus, is this really true? Where did this biological father of yours come from, and why would he accuse you of sexual harassment? Are you even capable of such actions?"
Before, Damon had indeed bullied Magnus and was very stingy. But this time, he actually believed Magnus and didn't think he was capable of sexual harassment.
Magnus's mind was in a mess, filled with Tobias's accusations.
"Magnus, say something." Damon grew anxious. "This is not a small matter. If it's not handled properly, you will go to jail, and our law firm's cooperation with Abbott's Corporation will be ruined."
"No." Magnus wiped his face with resignation. "It's all my father's slander. I never thought he would resort to such vile tactics to frame me. I'm his biological son. How could he do this to me?"
Magnus was deeply distressed. It was just a house, but it had caused Tobias to come up with such a malicious scheme.
Damon asked, "Where did this father of yours come from? Weren't you an orphan?"
"We recently found each other." Magnus closed his eyes briefly.
"Why would your father slander you? Magnus, you are a lawyer yourself. You understand the seriousness and gravity of the crime of sexually assaulting a minor. It carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison."
Looking at Magnus's unlucky appearance, Damon couldn't help but poke fun, "Why did you have to find your father? It only brought a bunch of trouble. It would help if you handled this matter quickly and not let it affect the law firm. Even if your backer is Finnegan, I can't guarantee your safety."
Magnus realized the severity of the situation, but he was at a loss. He couldn't explain himself.
