Chapter 578 Soothe
The audience in the livestream began to support Howard overwhelmingly.
They all praised Howard as a rare good doctor in the world.
The reporters and onlookers outside naturally could not see these barrage messages.
But everyone's emotions were just like those in the stream, very surprised and remorseful.
Howard was very grateful to Richard, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Rogers."
Richard said with a smile, "No need to thank me, it’s just a small effort."
Evella was excited, saying, "Of course, he should thank you. Without you, he would never be incapable of pardoning himself."
Richard smiled, his gaze swept over her thoughtfully.
Nora, on the side, also sighed in relief when she saw the situation turning around.
She looked at Kevin, her face cold, saying, "Kevin, do you have anything else to say now? The Swift family is a decent family. I never expected you, as a member of the Swift family, to be so despicable! You are simply disgracing the Swift family!"
Being reprimanded by a woman, Kevin's face turned red, but he still retorted, "The recording only proves that Howard did not take bribes, but it does not mean that I framed him. Don't slander me!"
Nora turned her gaze to Chris, who was trying to escape.
"Chris, where do you think you're going?" she asked.
Chris swallowed nervously, his neck shrinking as he said, "I need to go back to take care of my father."
"Wait a moment before you leave," Nora said, her face turning icy. "Tell me, did Kevin instruct you to falsely accuse Dr. Hamilton?"
Chris looked at Kevin but remained silent.
Nora said, "Why are you not speaking? Just now, you ambiguously hinted that Howard had asked you for a bribe. If you don't speak the truth, be prepared to be sued by his lawyers!"
Chris trembled, looking at Nora, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
Nora continued, "Our Hamilton family indeed has power and influence, but we never bully others. However, if someone dares to defame our family, we don't mind showing them what power and influence mean!"
Her words were firm and full of momentum, displaying the demeanor of the daughter from a prominent family.
Chris felt like he had been struck by lightning, and he quickly ran to Kevin, grabbing his sleeve tightly and saying, "Mr. Swift, I did everything according to your instructions. Please say something to help me!"
Kevin's face turned cold as he raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ask you to do such a thing?"
This idiot!
He could easily deny it.
Chris covered half of his face, saying, "It was you who said that as long as I helped you frame Dr. Hamilton, making everyone believe he took bribes, not only would you cover my father's medical expenses, but I could also become a team leader in the company."
Kevin was getting furious, saying, "Chris, if you keep spouting nonsense, I will not spare you!"
Nora pursed her red lips, stepped forward, and slapped Kevin twice.
She said, "You petty man, these slaps are to let you know that people of the Hamilton family are not to be trifled with!"
Kevin, surprised by Nora's physical reaction, was both shocked and angry.
"Nora, how dare you hit me!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to strike Nora.
But before his hand could reach her, it was suddenly grabbed.
"How dare you try to hit her!" Aaron shouted.
Kevin felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and then he was thrown to the ground.
He yelled in pain, wanting to curse, but when he met the cold, sharp gaze of the man, he swallowed his words.
It was Aaron!
He couldn't afford to provoke him.
Nora looked at the man who suddenly appeared and smiled slightly, asking, "Why are you here?"
Aaron's cold and stern aura softened when he looked at her.
"With such a big incident, how could I not come?" he said.
He was in the middle of a high-level meeting at the company when he received a call from Frederick. Learning about the situation, he was afraid that Nora would get into conflict with others, so he hastily left the executives and rushed over from the company.
"You, all of you, wait for me!"Kevin said.
Taking advantage of the distraction, he got up from the ground, clutched his twisted wrist, and ran away.
"Kevin, don't you dare run!" Evella shouted.
Ignoring her, Kevin ran off faster than a rabbit.
Evella huffed, "Are we just going to let him off like that?"
Howard smiled coldly and said, "No rush, I will handle this matter."
Later, he not only exposed how Kevin had deceived many innocent girls online over the years but also had the deceived girls collectively denounced Kevin.
He also negotiated with the head of the Swift family, demanding that they permanently expel Kevin from the country, ensuring he would never return in his lifetime.
Otherwise, the Swift family would sever ties with the Hamilton family.
Although the Swift family was also prominent, they were slightly inferior to the Hamilton family and naturally did not want to antagonize them.
Fortunately, the head of the Swift family had an elder son who had no intention of handing over the family inheritance to Kevin. Therefore, despite Kevin's pleas, he directly sent him out of the country to manage overseas markets.
This was what happened later.
At this moment, Chris, realizing his deception had been exposed, hurriedly knelt, raising his hand to slap his face.
He said, "Dr. Hamilton, I was wrong; I was confused, and I am depicable and shameless! I deserve to die; I’m regretful about what i have done! Please forgive me just this once!"
Seeing him repenting tearfully, Howard was unhappy; his face showed a hint of disgust.
"You may leave," Howard said.
Howard let him go because he believed the truth of the matter had been revealed, and there was no need to waste more words on such a despicable person.
To outsiders, however, this action appeared as a display of magnanimity.
For a moment, the people around Howard felt even more favorably towards him.
"Thank you, thank you!" Chris quickly got up and left.
William instructed the security personnel to disperse the crowd.
The reporters and onlookers dispersed one after another.
The surroundings returned to normal, and William also sighed in relief.
"Dr. Hamilton, I never expected such a thing to happen; I was really worried for you."
Howard smiled and looked at Richard, saying, "Thanks to Mr. Rogers once again."
"You're welcome," Richard said with a smile.
Evella was also pleased that the problem was resolved satisfactorily.
She said, "Howard, don't just express your gratitude verbally; you should also treat him to a meal to show your appreciation."
Howard thought it made sense, saying, "You're right, Mr. Rogers; when are you free to have a meal together?"
Richard's gaze swept over Evella thoughtfully.
He said, "Of course, no problem; how about today?"
Howard checked the time and agreed, saying, "Sounds good."
Seeing this, William said, "Dr. Hamilton, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Gordon, you enjoy your conversation, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first."
"Alright," Howard said.
After William left, Evella said, "Howard, I should go now."
Howard frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Evella said, "I'm going back to have dinner."
Howard grabbed her hand and said, "Why are you going back? You are my girlfriend. I was so shocked today; you should at least accompany me for a meal to comfort me."
Evella was speechless; her eyes widened.
Howard had been calling her his girlfriend all along, always holding her hand, embracing her!
They were just pretending to be a couple!
They had agreed not to have any intimate actions!
