Chapter 290 Video Released
Although Luann had doubts in her heart, she still waved at the camera and gave a brief self-introduction.
Unknown: [Satisfied!]
Unknown: [I agree; not seeing Luann's smile for a day makes me feel like something is missing in my heart!]
Unknown: [Where's Myron? Why isn't he here?]
Unknown: [Everyone else is sitting in pairs; Luann is so pitiful!]
On stage, the elders of the North family held a microphone and gave a speech, "Welcome everyone to the North family's banquet. We are very grateful that you took the time out of your busy schedules to attend. We have prepared exquisite gifts and snacks for our guests."
"Peter has been abroad for many years, struggling alone for his dreams. Now that he's getting older, he has returned to stabilize his development, inherit the family business, and find a suitable wife to spend the rest of his life with."
Unknown: [Look at me, the racing champion!]
Unknown: [Who's the racing champion? I don't know him.]
Unknown: [He's a handsome guy!]
Unknown: [Camera guy, turn the lens over here!]
Peter, with a furrowed brow, reluctantly walked onto the stage.
He was wearing a light gray suit today. His broad shoulders exude confidence and give off a strong sense of security.
His handsome face showed no expression, with a hint of displeasure hidden in his clear eyes. However, this didn't diminish his charm, especially the natural aura of pride that surrounded him, making it easy for people to be captivated.
Unknown: [I think my child in my belly needs a new dad.]
Unknown: [Oh no, it's the feeling of infatuation!]
Susan handed him the microphone with a loving smile, singing, "Peter, say something."
Peter took it and said, "Thank you, everyone."
Unknown: [Is that all?]
Unknown: [Short and to the point.]
Unknown: [Why does he keep looking around? Is he looking for someone?]
Peter's gaze quickly settled on Luann, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again, "Luann, could you come up here for a moment?"
Being called out, Luann hesitated for a moment and then walked up amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
Holly whispered, "If Myron were here, he would definitely beat up Peter."
"I've always been grateful to someone. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today." Peter's deep voice made many girls who weren't interested in racing listen attentively.
He said, "Many of my racing skills were actually taught by Luann."
"It's funny. We've known each other for many years, but we didn't even know what each other looked like or what our names were."
"I'm grateful to the Upper West Side races for helping me find Luann I've always admired."
His speech lacked substance but carried a touch of sentimentality.
The audience started to whisper.
"Why does it sound like a confession!"
"I agree."
"Luann looks so awkward."
"Who can smile at a time like this?"
Luann finally understood what it meant to feel like a thorn in one's side.
Peter's intense and unrestrained gaze made her uncomfortable all over.
Luann couldn't help but remind him in a voice only they could hear, "Save those words for after we're off the stage. Today is your banquet; don't involve me in this."
Peter nodded, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.
The dark screen behind them suddenly lit up. Images of the awards Peter had won over the years, and racing videos began to play in a loop. He was so handsome.
Luann sighed in relief, unnoticed by the crowd, and quietly shifted her body to the side, intending to step down first.
However, just as her left foot touched the steps, the screen suddenly froze. In the next second, a video that shocked everyone was played.
"Oh my god!"
"Is that Luann?"
The people in the audience couldn't sit still, and discussions immediately broke out.
Luann turned around abruptly.
In the video, she was standing on the roadside with a handsome man, showing extremely intimate gestures. They hugged, kissed, and even shared an ice cream. The level of intimacy between them sent shivers down everyone's spine. Although the footage was blurry and shaky, it was clear at a glance that it was indeed Luann.
"Who's that guy? Why is he so intimate with Luann?"
"Oh my god! What's going on? Isn't she already married?"
"Is Luann having an affair?"
"Myron looks like that, and Luann is so outstanding; she must be having an affair!"
"Yeah, the more beautiful a woman is, the more you have to watch out."
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
Not just them, even the entire live-streaming room fell into a full minute of silence.
Unknown: [Is this photoshopped?]
Unknown: [This can't be real, can it?]
Unknown: [I never expected such a beautiful woman to have such a despicable character; it's disgusting. I'm not watching anymore.]
Unknown: [Let's not get too worked up, let's hear Luann's explanation!]
Unknown: [Yeah, maybe they're already divorced; if they are, this video doesn't matter!]
The sparkle in Luann's eyes dimmed inch by inch.
Beside her, Peter furrowed his brows and muttered, "Who released this mess? Quickly shut it off!"
The person operating the computer was in a panic but couldn't seem to delete the video.
Peter stepped forward quickly, about to unplug the power.
A sharp voice rang out from below the stage. "After such an incident, you should give everyone an explanation first!"
"Yes, our eyes aren't blind; we all saw it!"
Luann kept her head down, silent.
It was not that she didn't want to speak, but to clarify this matter, she would have to admit that the person in the video was Myron.
Myron had told her that he had never revealed his true appearance because he wanted to find out who the arsonist was back then.
Myron had hidden and endured for so many years, and he couldn't expose himself because of her. So Luann decided to stay silent, not utter a word.
Holly, as Luann's good friend, naturally understood what Luann was thinking. She gritted her teeth, stood up abruptly, and rushed over, saying, "Let's go!"
Holly grabbed Luann's wrist and tried to lead her off the stage.
However, a dozen cameras all pointed at them.
Ally and Juliet approached calmly, wearing a sly smile of triumph on their faces.
Ally asked, "Why are you rushing to leave?"
"After such a big incident, you should at least say a few words."
Holly gritted her teeth, saying, "This is Luann's private matter; she doesn't need to explain to you! Who do you think you are?"
Ally shrugged lightly and looked towards where people of the Curtis family were seated, saying, "You indeed don't need to explain to us, but at least you should explain to the Curtis family's people."
