Chapter 287: Caught in a Storm of Controversy
Ella stood in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing. Right before her eyes, Sean was pounding his fist against his own head, over and over again!
"Hitting himself? How amusing," Ella thought, her eyes filled with interest. Who would have guessed that the old man was clever enough to come up with such a tactic?
Sean landed several blows on himself before stopping, his forehead and eye sockets swollen and red.
"Ella! You vile woman, how could you? How dare you strike an old man like me?" Sean cried out. He then struck himself hard in the face with his cane, leaving him dizzy with pain.
Ella laughed in disbelief.
"Old Mr. Carter, no one’s going to buy your act!" she said, unwilling to watch any longer. This devious old man was truly resorting to desperate measures!
But Ella was curious to see how things would play out. After all, saving Chloe was the main event, and this situation was a big deal too.
She stood up, opened the door, and strode out.
"Oh, you ungrateful brat, it hurts... it hurts so much!" Sean yelled after her. There was a loud crash as he collapsed to the floor, just as Ella stepped out and saw a swarm of reporters rushing toward her.
As expected—
This was quite the performance! The Carter Group had really pulled out all the stops this time, even making an elderly man like Sean go through such lengths!
