Chapter 491 Eat Shit in Public
Lucas and the others immediately turned their gaze towards the door!
Especially Lucas himself.
Hearing that familiar voice, he had a very bad feeling!
"Who are you?" Lucas growled, clutching his stomach, his voice low and tense.
At this moment, the door was pushed open!
Two figures appeared at the entrance!
Faces that were all too familiar!
Ryder, Rex!
Lucas's expression first froze, then turned ferocious.
He roared at Ryder, "Ryder, it's you! You're behind all of this, aren't you?"
Ryder's lips curled into a cold smile, "Talk all you want, but don't throw shade without proof. What's your evidence this has anything to do with me?"
Lucas was so angry his scalp tingled!
Ryder's earlier words at the door made it sound like he'd planned the whole thing tonight!
And now he was denying it!
Ryder wrinkled his nose and glanced around the living room on the first floor of the villa.
He softly remarked, "Word on the street is Lucas is loaded, and his place is dripping with golden luxury. Seeing it now, it's definitely golden enough! Rex, you think if we whipped out our phones and shot a video, it'd go viral and blow up the news?"
Rex nodded and answered seriously, "It's too disgusting, I don't want to film it!"
Their conversation had Ryder cracking up, while Lucas wished the floor would just swallow him whole!
Humiliation!
Unprecedented humiliation!
He sucked in a breath and hauled himself to his feet, his eyes practically bulged. "Ryder, we've had our beef, but that's in the past. Showing up here to throw your weight around? That's low. You think just 'cause you're the president of Maple Real Estate, you can do whatever the hell you want? We might not be on your level now, but don't forget—tables can turn."
These words received unanimous agreement from the guests!
Though weak, they still spoke up in support:
"Lucas is right, so what if you're the president of Maple Real Estate? As long as we stand united, we're not afraid of you!"
"We have dignity too! Ryder, trampling on our dignity like this won't end well for you!"
"Lucas has no recent grudge against you, yet you use such disgusting means to harm him. This is illegal, and we can call the police to arrest you!"
These people were all red-faced!
Of course, there were two reasons for their redness.
One was holding it in, the other was anger!
If not for their physical "confinement," they might have rushed up to Ryder to demand an explanation!
Facing their verbal assault, Ryder raised his right hand and waved it in front of his nose, "Ugh, the stink from all this BS is giving me a headache!"
Then, Ryder's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his voice grew cold, "Let me remind you, there are three things you're mistaken about!"
He raised his first finger!
"First, I did come to the Windsor family tonight to watch a joke, but I really didn't know you were going to shit yourselves!"
He raised his second finger!
"Second, I'm no longer the president of Maple Real Estate. Let me reveal something: I was just promoted to chairman of Maple Group. Surprised, aren't you?"
He raised his third finger!
"Third, you keep saying Lucas has no recent grudge against me, but that's completely wrong! Let me ask you this—wasn't Lucas the one pulling the strings with that Maple Real Estate scam? Am I right or what?"
Ryder's three statements left the guests wide-eyed, even forgetting their abdominal pain!
The first statement suggested that the wine problem was likely Henry's idea!
The second statement was unbelievable.
Young Ryder had leaped from president of Maple Real Estate to chairman of Maple Group, a position held by Houston's richest man, Scott!
That made him a straight-up billionaire heavyweight!
And here they were, talking about maybe catching up to him someday.
Honestly? Even with generations of grinding, they'd never get close! Pissing him off? That's like poking the devil himself!
As for the third statement, it was very surprising!
They had heard rumors about someone impersonating Maple Real Estate to sell fake properties but hadn't paid much attention.
They never expected Lucas to be the mastermind!
They had no idea!
Lucas was also stunned by Ryder's three statements for several seconds!
But he quickly snapped out of it, gritting his teeth and defending himself in a deep voice, "Ryder, don't slander me. What does the fake property sale by Maple Real Estate have to do with me? I've been busy with company asset changes recently and have no time for such despicable acts!"
Elena also raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Ryder! Don't go too far. We have citizens' rights too. Your actions are illegal! Unless you have absolute evidence!"
Ryder spread his hands, "What if I do have evidence?"
Fuming, Elena didn't hold back. "Ryder, if you've got the evidence today, I'll eat every piece of crap off this floor. If not, you eat it. You game?"
Ryder clapped his hands, "Alright! Since you have such a hobby, I'll gladly help you fulfill it!"
Elena sneered, "I'll be waiting!"
She was confident because only she and Lucas knew about the impersonation of Maple Real Estate within the Windsor Group!
As for the personnel executing the plan, they had made meticulous arrangements!
Even if they were caught, no evidence would link back to them!
All information, money transactions, and other evidence had been destroyed long ago!
But just as Elena was feeling smug, ready to watch Ryder eat shit in front of everyone, Ryder pulled out his phone, hit play, and blasted a recording for the whole room to hear.
It was a conversation—between Elena and Lucas.
The recording laid out their entire scheme: how they'd been impersonating Maple Real Estate to sell fake properties!
Every dirty detail was there!
The audio lasted over ten minutes!
Everyone in the living room was dumbfounded!
It was true!
Lucas and Elena were even more stunned!
Sweat kept pouring out of them!
The silence was broken by Ryder's mocking voice:
"Elena, please start eating shit!"
