Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
Arriving at the live broadcast room, Lilith took the stage to announce several advertisements. During the mission assigned by the sponsor, she didn't forget to place the miserable-looking Ivy, who was messed up by the makeup artist, beside her. Shawn and Andy couldn't help but feel heartache as they watched. Soon, it was time to reveal the truth. Ivy invited her lawyer onto the stage. The lawyer, with reason and evidence, presented all the proofs—photos, certificates, and more— systematically refuting every claim made by Harry's family. Lilith's studio also simultaneously released electronic versions of the documents. In an instant, the tide began to turn. Fans started expressing their anger by sending gifts, one after another. One user named "DT Investment" sent a whopping 100 gifts, and right after, the blogger "Andy Livingston" directly sent 500. In the hotel, Shawn gestured to Luke, his assistant, to use "DT Investment" to send 399 gifts, one less than Andy. He took pride in his meticulous and courteous approach. However, swiftly, a person named "Dom" sent 600 gifts. Shawn's dark eyes narrowed. "Send 700." The two engaged in a competition, each trying to outdo the other. For a while, the live broadcast room became lively. Ivy, in the midst of revealing the truth, found the attention of the audience diverted by the two big spenders. So, she cleared her throat and said, "Could you two stop for a moment? At least let me finish explaining the whole story." But the two men, red-eyed and determined, paid no heed. The gifts continued to pour in—1000 from one, 2000 from the other. Finally, Andy couldn't bear it any longer. He took charge and added Dom and Shawn to a Whatsapp group. "Didn't you see Ivy asking you to stop? Both of you, cut it out!" A minute later, Dom stopped, saying, "Stupid me!"Shortly after, Shawn also ceased. The live broadcast revealing the truth resumed. Ivy shared several videos, all depicting instances of domestic violence by Harry against Emma. Andy couldn't help but cry, deeply moved. "This Harry, I'll make him pay!" he exclaimed in the Whatsapp group. "Both of you, let go of your prejudices. We need a united front. I'll make Harry disappear!" In unison, they replied, "Understood!" Shawn added, "Grandpa, please be patient and keep watching. I've prepared a generous gift for them." Just as Shawn's message came through, the next moment, a woman suddenly entered the live broadcast room. The woman entered the room, holding a child, looking tired and weak. "No, this isn't right! Harry isn't like this!" Everyone was shocked. "Who is this? Is the Harry she mentioned, Harry Jones?" The lawyer quickly pulled her into the live broadcast room, saying, "Miss Kara, please calm down." Kara looked at the lawyer with a wounded expression, perfectly cooperative. "Lawyer, didn't you say that as long as I came, there would be a chance to clarify things for Harry?" "Well..." "Kara?" Excited, Lilith exclaimed, "Aren't you Harry's childhood sweetheart? My goodness, what's your relationship with Harry?" "I..." Like a startled deer, Kara tightly held onto the child, "Harry is the father of my child." "What?!" Lilith pretended to be astonished once again, "But I remember, Harry is already married to Amara. They even have a child together. Harry spent these years deceiving Aunt Emma, making her take care of Amara and her son. How come suddenly, you appear with a child?" The lawyer chimed in, "Miss Kara, you didn't mention this earlier. How can this child be Harry's? Aren't you the homewrecker?" "I'm not!" Kara yelled frantically, "I am Harry's wife. It's Amara who is the wicked one!"Seeing that Kara's act had played out, the lawyer quickly had her escorted away. In that moment, everything became clear. Ivy, with red eyes, summarized the situation for the viewers and ended the broadcast. Lilith, on the other hand, passionately scolded Harry with her own assistants. After the broadcast, it was already late at night. She went to the rest area and saw Ivy staring at the computer. Thinking she was upset, Lilith couldn't help but comfort her, "Ivy, don't be afraid; I'm here." But upon closer inspection, she found Ivy looking at Shawn's second-phase surgery plan. She couldn't help but smile. "Tonight's earnings are over a million. After deducting costs, each of us should get several hundred thousand. Ivy, I have an idea and want to hear your opinion." Rare to see Lilith so serious, Ivy closed her computer and listened attentively. Lilith said, "Ivy, I want to donate half of our income to charity. What do you think?" "Of course, that's fine," she replied without hesitation. "I was thinking, tonight's money is all thanks to you, and those fools from DT Investment and H Capital. We can't keep all this money to ourselves. Let's use it for charity—for us and for my child to accumulate some virtue. I believe when this charity news is announced, it will change people's perception of you. This will also showcase your character to the public." "Okay, I'll go with your suggestion." Ivy smiled, patting Lilith's arm. "As for my share, I want to donate it to Mary Hospital and the County Clinic." These days, because of her situation, these two institutions had faced many troubles. She felt guilty and decided to help them indirectly. "Okay, I'll have someone prepare a list for you to review. If everything is fine, I'll make the list public." Ivy nodded. "It needs to be quick, preferably tonight." She was worried that if they waited, Harry and the others might use this against them. "I understand, it will be done soon." Lilith had prepared the donation names in advance, so the details could be confirmed and announced after the live broadcast.Quickly, the studio released the donation details to the public. With the help of various marketing accounts, they gained widespread praise. The situation was considered a perfect ending. However, things didn't end well for Harry. The public opinion turned against him, making his whole family a target of criticism. People in his village, fueled by both new and old grudges, completely isolated the Jones family. Not only that, Amara, knowing about Harry's affair and child outside, started causing trouble at the Jones household, demanding a divorce and even wanting to take the child away. It took a lot of persuasion from Harry’s parents to calm Amara down. However, Harry looked indifferent. For him, it was better that Amara left. He brought Kara back immediately. "Harry, I won't allow you to see that woman again!" His parents ordered, unknowingly igniting anger in Harry's heart. "Why not?" "She ruined you in the live broadcast, a complete jinx. Do you still want to see her?" Harry sighed, "She didn't do it on purpose..." "Not on purpose? Would anyone be so foolish to reveal their lover's secrets in the opponent's live broadcast?" Grandma Jones scolded angrily. "I separated you two by force back then. Why are you still involved with her now? She's a jinx, worse than Emma!" "It's precisely because you forcefully separated us back then that we've been apart for so many years. If you hadn't done that, would we have split up?!" "Stop arguing!" Grandpa Jones shouted. He had finally figured it out. The things one cannot obtain always seem the best. It was because the separation was too heartbreaking that they ended up entangled again, and now there was even a child. This family couldn't afford to fall apart for the second time! With this in mind, Grandpa Jones gave Amara a thousand. "Take the child and buy something. Spend this money however you like, as long as it makes you feel better." Originally, Amara wanted to refuse, but seeing the pile of money, she thought it might help her relax a bit.After Amara left, Grandpa Jones said, "Harry, what you did was not right." "Dad, I've said it before, Kara didn't do it on purpose! She just gave birth to a child, and she's innocent. Being deceived by the lawyer is normal. Besides, it's my fault too. She just had a child, and I should have been there for her." "I'm not talking about that!" Grandpa Jones scolded, "I mean, you already have Amara, you should have kept yourself clean and not gone messing with those people." "Kara is not a stranger; she's my lover!" "You!" Grandpa Jones was genuinely infuriated by his foolish son. It took a while for him to calm down. "Livingston's family is beyond our reach. You gave them ten thousand dollars earlier, and you can't get it back now. Now, we're just waiting for DT Investment's people to come and negotiate with us. The last price we discussed is bound to drop by a hundred thousand, if they agree, sign the contract then." Grandpa Jones instructed. However, their plan fell through. While the family of five was waiting for the negotiators to arrive, the news broadcasted the redevelopment plan for the village. Grandpa and Grandma Jones were originally lounging on the sofa with their legs up. The moment the design drawings came out, their brains went pale. They sat up abruptly, looking at the design drawings in disbelief, cold sweat rolling down their foreheads. "What's going on? When was the design changed?" This new redevelopment plan seemed to have shut them out completely. Once it was built, not only could they not sell their house, but they wouldn't even be able to live in it. "No, we can't be so passive!" Harry snapped back to reality first. "This construction plan must be changed!" Grandpa Jones massaged his temples, "Stop sitting there; call them immediately. Tell them we accept the previous plan!" Shaking, Harry took out his phone and dialed the number of the negotiating team. "Hello! We've considered it. To support the country's construction, we've decided to accept the price you offered!"The person who answered the call was an extremely gentle girl. Upon hearing Harry's voice, she softly laughed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. Our redevelopment plan has already been approved at a meeting and publicly announced on the news. It won't change anymore. Now, you don't have to move." In other words, overnight, he had lost everything. ***
