Chapter 1779 She Pushed Him to This Extent
"I called the police a few days ago, saying Lucas wanted to kill me. Actually, that day I was taken to his villa by his people. We had a huge fight, and I cursed at him. Honestly, when he and I had sex, I felt disgusted. I used drugs every time. When I told him this, he lost his dignity and started choking me."
"If I hadn't escaped from the villa that day and been rescued on the road, I don't know if I would still be alive to see everyone."
"Everyone must be shocked, right? Yes, this past year has been a living hell for me."
"If you don't believe me, I have recordings. I've been prepared for this day to expose Lucas's hypocritical nature."
"If I go missing after this video is released, don't be surprised."
Bernice then played a recording.
"Bernice, let me tell you, you're an artist signed with the company. As a company person, you should always put the company's and the boss's interests first. Think about it, you wouldn't be where you are today without the company. I advise you to take these hundred million dollars and leave. Once things calm down, the company can find a way to bring you back."
"Don't take me for a fool. Do you think it's that easy to make a comeback? Today I'm a superstar, and you think you can just use me up and discard me? How many years will it take for things to calm down? By then, I won't have my youth, and you won't like me. The competition in the company is fierce; what hope do I have for a comeback?"
"You're courting death."
"You dare to smash things in my office? Didn't I teach you a lesson last time? I'm warning you, don't push your luck. If you anger me, I'll make sure you have no chance of a comeback."
"Don't you feel any guilt towards me?"
"Guilt? What is that? Do you even deserve my guilt?"
Bernice released ten recordings.
Some of the recordings had Lucas's threats, and others had him calling her a dead fish and a slut. Lucas's magnetic voice was calm, but his words were particularly venomous.
After the video and recordings were made public.
The entire Madison was shaken.
[Fuck, Lucas is such a bastard, forcing Bernice and calling her a slut. Why doesn't someone like Lucas just die?]
[The last person this bad was Michael. Michael was influenced by Megan, but Lucas, I feel, he's just used to being on top. He looks down on women.]
[Yeah, I think so too. He doesn't see women as people, and he looks down on us ordinary folks.]
[Bernice was trampled by him like this. I feel so sorry for her. I'm going to report him.]
[I'm going to report him too. How can someone like Lucas still control Madison's medical resources? I'd rather never get treated than go to the Nelson Group's hospital.]
[I can't believe how much Bernice suffered in the past few days. After her affair with Gary was exposed, I even cursed her. I'm such a jerk.]
[Everyone, stop talking. Let's go to the police. We can't let Lucas get away with this.]
Thaddeus had only one thought after hearing this: It's over.
No matter how Lucas handles it later, his image is completely ruined this time.
And the things Lucas said were so harsh that even passersby found them offensive. Even Thaddeus thought Lucas was too arrogant.
At the Nelson Group's headquarters.
An emergency meeting was in progress.
Lucas sat in a leather chair, listening to the PR department argue for a long time. He couldn't bear it anymore and slammed his hand on the table. "I want a plan that minimizes the damage after taking responsibility. Up until now, you're all shirking responsibility for minor interests. Did I spend so much money to raise a bunch of useless people?"
The PR department was immediately terrified.
After a long while, the department manager spoke first, "We should draft a public apology. As long as our attitude is good, people will forgive us. After all, the Nelson Group's medical resources are the best in the country. Unless people don't want to get treated."
"Excuse me."
Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and several police officers walked in. "Lucas, someone reported you for a rape case. Please come with us to the police station."
"I'm in a meeting right now. If you have any issues, talk to my lawyer," Lucas said impatiently, thinking Bernice was causing trouble again.
The lead officer was a female cop who had already heard many of Lucas's recordings online and was very disgusted with him.
Without a word, she handcuffed him. "Don't waste our time. The person who reported you has submitted many recordings, and billions of people online are following this case. You must come with us."
She then dragged Lucas out of his seat.
Lucas's handsome face instantly turned extremely displeased.
After he was taken away, the conference room was in an uproar.
What was going on?
In their lifetime, they never thought they'd see Lucas forcibly taken away by the police.
Those with connections quickly contacted other shareholders of the Nelson Group.
At the police station.
When Lucas saw the evidence laid out by the police, his usually calm demeanor was shaken.
That crazy woman, Bernice, had secretly recorded so many conversations during their time together.
Not only that, but she had also made many recordings public online. Some intimate moments during sex were not made public; she only gave them to the police.
"I didn't force her. We were consensual," Lucas, familiar with the law, quickly denied everything. "She asked me for money several times, and I gave her bags and jewelry."
"Are you talking about these bags?" The female cop took out a few photos. "These bags were sold long ago, and the money was donated to charity in your name. As for the money, Bernice never used yours."
"Lucas, we investigated your past relationships. You gave those women properties, luxury cars, money, and lavish jewelry. Only Bernice got nothing. She doesn't even like you. Why would a superstar like her be with you?"
The female cop smiled coldly, "For your sexual skills? But from the recordings, it's clear she was very uncomfortable during sex. Stop trying to argue. Your vile behavior has caused significant social harm."
After speaking, the female cop stood up. "We will soon submit the materials to the prosecution and judicial institutions. Your case will be brought to trial quickly."
After the female cop left, Lucas clenched his fists on the table, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Damn Bernice, she had pushed him to this extent.
What exactly did she want?
An hour later, Wilford arrived. "Mr. Nelson, I'm sorry. This case has blown up too much and has had a terrible impact. I've tried many ways, but I couldn't get you bailed out."
