When the screen lit up, I thought that I would be able to see the coward’s face, but a ridiculous watermelon filter covered her entire face. Even her background had been blurred.

All the onlookers went wild, and they started spamming the chat.

[You put on a filter? You’re definitely feeling guilty!]

[You billed someone for two million dollars and won’t show your face? You’re definitely a scammer! Get the police to arrest her!]

[That sounds like the voice of a pimp!]

At the sight of the chat, the watermelon swayed violently, and the woman’s shrill voice pierced my eardrums.

“Shut up! What would you poor peasants know?!”

After she finished cursing at the viewers, she looked into the camera as if she was staring at me. Then, her voice turned sickeningly sweet again. “Leto, don’t be mad. I just heard that there was a slight misunderstanding at the shop. Your son might be marrying another woman, but my daughter has been with him for a long time, so she needs some compensation, right? The diamond ring is nothing to someone with such a big company like yours.”

She made it sound like this was the way of the world, and she was trying to guilt-trip me.

The customers around us were stunned, and they gasped.

Even Layla’s composure cracked, and she teared up again.

She bit down on her lip, and her nails dug into her palms as she swayed.

While she spoke, even the police officers scowled and quietly cast me skeptical looks.

“Is that so?” I finally spoke, but my voice was flat, almost as if it were covered in ice.

“Come over right now. My son’s about to arrive. Let’s have the children talk in front of the police.”

I then turned to the crowd and stated clearly, “If my son were really a cheater, forget two million dollars, I’ll even pay you twenty million dollars!”

I raised Apollo on my own and knew more than anyone whether he had the guts to cheat.

Since this woman had the nerve to set me up, she had to prepare to be crushed under my foot.

In an instant, the incessant chatter came to a screeching halt.

She remained silent for a grand total of three seconds before the watermelon drew closer to the screen. She dropped her facade and started screeching, “Apollo is the one who’s shameless, but my daughter still has an ounce of shame! Every last one of you rich people has dirty laundry!”

I cut her rambling off and mocked her, “You, however, are involved in a two-million-dollar scam, and that’s full grounds for a fraud case. You can absolutely go to prison for that. By the way, I forgot to tell you something.”

As I stared at the screen, I told her a simple fact. “This entire supermarket is a subsidiary company of Grand Source. In other words, I own the place. So, how long do you think I’d need to retrieve the full security footage?”

The watermelon face froze.

In the next second, exasperated cursing shot through my speaker. “Leto Jackson, you shameless witch! I’m going to crush you!”

The live stream went off, and the screen turned dark.

I turned to the police officers. “Officers, I believe things are clear now. This is a premeditated scam, and this shop is her accomplice.”

Mandy’s face was paler than a ghost at this point. It was like she had died, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The police officers stepped forward and shouted, “Get the security footage, now!”

This time, Mandy no longer dared to say that the security cameras were broken. She scrambled to the back to retrieve the security footage.

The leader approached me and whispered, “There’s no way this is just a coincidence. The woman mentioned your name along with your son’s. She even set up a scam in this shop. Have you offended anyone, or have you had any conflict with anyone?”

I frowned.

If this came from a business competitor, such a cheap tactic would not do any substantial damage to me, aside from making me feel sick to my stomach.

However, it could not have come from a disgruntled family member either.

Who could it be?

As I thought about the watermelon filter, I thought about how she knew me and Apollo.

Suddenly, a ridiculous thought appeared in my head.

In the next second, I grabbed Layla and rushed to the back of the jewelry shop. At the same time, I shouted at the police officers, “Follow me! That woman is still in the supermarket! She hasn’t left!”
