Chapter 363 Sandra's Grievance!
Ryder gave Mark a thumbs up. "As expected of Mark, you're really straightforward! In that case, my condition is..."
As he spoke, Ryder's gaze shifted to Sandra!
Sandra sensed crisis when Ryder's gaze fell on her.
She thought, "I'm doomed!"
And indeed, things turned out just as Sandra had feared!
Ryder's lips curled into a smile. "I want Sandra to kneel in front of Kenneth's portrait and apologize, saying, 'I shouldn't have killed you, it's all my fault!' How about that?"
Before Mark could respond, Sandra exploded like boiling water.
She glared at Ryder and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever kill Kenneth? His death has nothing to do with me! Don't make baseless accusations!"
Ryder squinted slightly and responded in an innocent tone, "I never said you killed Kenneth. I just want you to apologize and say the lines. I want to see a performance, is there a problem with that?"
"You..." Sandra was stunned, her chest heaving with anger.
She started to panic inside!
She thought, 'Could Ryder have discovered something?
If that were the case, I definitely couldn't agree!'
Afraid that Mark might notice any flaws, everything would be ruined!
So, she gritted her teeth.
She pleaded with Mark, "Mr. Davis! You can't let Ryder mess around like this! I know him best; his conscience is deeply flawed! There must be some hidden agenda behind this to deal with us!"
Mark's voice was hoarse as he retorted, "Do you have a way to get the person out now?"
Sandra shook her head with a troubled expression!
Naturally, she couldn't do that!
A cold glint appeared in Mark's eyes. "If you can't, then do as Mr. Clark says!"
"What?" Sandra looked incredulous!
She didn't expect Mark to betray her so easily!
"I don't agree!" Sandra's expression was firm!
She came here tonight specifically to see Ryder make a fool of himself! How could she accept being the one to be humiliated in the end?
How could she possibly accept that?
"That's not up to you!" Mark didn't care and directly ordered a few of his men, "You guys, go help out!"
"Yes!" A few of his men walked towards Sandra!
Sandra shouted like a shrew, "Stop right there! Who dares to take a step forward? Who dares?"
This shout really did scare those people!
There were two reasons!
Sandra used to spend time with Mark, a fact known to most of these men, who recognized her as their senior in terms of tenure. Meanwhile, they were well aware of Kenneth's affair with Sandra, which was particularly troubling since Kenneth had just passed away and they were now planning to take advantage of his partner. This double standard was deeply unsettling to their consciences.
So, they looked at each other and decided not to act.
They obediently lowered their heads, pretending to know nothing!
Mark's forehead veins bulged with anger upon seeing this!
"A bunch of useless trash!" He cursed in frustration and directly grabbed a machete from one of his men!
He slammed it on the table!
With bloodshot eyes, he glared at Sandra fiercely. "I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you don't comply, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
"Mr. Davis..." Sandra's face turned pale!
Knowing Mark as she did, she knew he was serious this time!
No matter what she said, she couldn't change his mind!
A massive wave of anger surged within her!
But she couldn't vent it on Mark.
So she had to vent it on Ryder.
Almost gritting her teeth, she said to Ryder, "Ryder! You've got guts! I'll remember this!"
Ryder looked indifferent. "Alright! Remember however you want, just don't waste time. Start your performance; I need to get home to watch TV later!"
Sandra's eye twitched violently!
If looks could kill people, she would have killed Ryder thousands of times by now!
At this point, everything was out of her control!
She staggered to the table with Kenneth's portrait and reluctantly knelt!
"Look Kenneth in the eyes!" Ryder spoke up!
Sandra cursed inwardly, gritted her teeth, and looked up at Kenneth's photo, meeting the eyes in the picture!
For some reason, when she looked into Kenneth's eyes, her heart started to race uncontrollably!
It felt like it was going to jump out of her throat!
Nervous! Scared! Worried! Angry!
All these emotions intertwined!
She even wondered if Kenneth would suddenly crawl out of the portrait and strangle her!
Her mind went blank with this thought!
"What are you standing there for? Speak!"
This time, it was Mark who shouted!
His tone was fierce!
"Got it!" she replied.
Sandra cursed inwardly.
She began to speak to Kenneth's portrait, "Kenneth, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have killed you. Please forgive me! I will definitely change my ways!"
As she apologized, it almost felt like she was genuinely apologizing!
Ryder took out his phone and started recording a video of Sandra, directing her as he filmed. "Put some emotion into those lines. Can you make it seem like you're sincerely confessing to murder? It'd be even better if you could cry!"
At this point, Sandra really wanted to cry!
She felt so wronged!
It was more wronged and embarrassed than when that video was exposed at the press conference!
She didn't understand how everything had gone according to plan, only to end like this!
The worst part was that Ryder was deliberately humiliating her this way!
An unprecedented humiliation!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
"Alright! Ms. Johnson's performance is over, applause!"
Ryder clapped happily!
Rex also clapped vigorously from behind!
But in the room, only the two of them were clapping!
It felt very empty!
So Ryder frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and scolded Mark's men, "Why aren't you clapping? Hurry up! Was the performance not captivating enough, or do you want to see another show?"
Hearing this, those men didn't dare hesitate and quickly started clapping!
Thunderous applause!
The show was over!
