Chapter 235
All of the passersby were shocked. They quickly looked at those women, gazes full of admiration.
Reporters caught wind of the news and arrived to interview the crowd.
“Ethan impersonated the Grand Marshal’s mentee and is now hated by the majority. Why are you helping him?”
“Mr. Rivers did not impersonate anyone. He is the Grand Marshal’s mentee.‘
“Do you have evidence?”
A few women silently took out photos of their late husbands and proof of their sacrifice.
The reporters looked at them, stunned.
“Our husbands were once at the frontlines with Mr. Rivers.”
“Is this evidence enough?”
The usually quick–witted reporter was at a loss for words at that moment. Should she question them or their husbands? If she did, she might as well resign now.
Should she question Ethan? That would be questioning the widows of those heroes before her, and public opinion could kill her.
“Mr. Rivers brought Daddy back to us himself. He kept apologizing to us,” a girl said loudly.
“Mr. Rivers is a good man. He gave us a big house.” A boy walked out and said.
“My classmates bullied me in school, and Mr. Rivers immediately went to look for our headmaster. He’s the best in the world!” said another girl..
The reporter did not speak, but her hand trembled badly. Was Ethan really innocent? Did someone frame him?
In the livestream, the audience felt ashamed.
Many of the heroes‘ widows had personally stepped forward to prove that Ethan was really the Grand Marshal’s mentee. Not only that, but he also made sure to take care of them and that they were well looked after.
If he did not love Riveria and genuinely cared for his subordinates, why would he go to such lengths to treat his subordinate’s families as if they were his own?
The viewers thought of the insults they had thrown at Ethan online, and now, they could not speak a word. Those hateful comments were thrown back to them, biting them in the back. For a brief moment, they were overcome with so much guilt that they almost forgot their own name!
Chapter 235
Stephen hurried over with his men.
Seeing Liam standing not far away, he questioned, “What are you doing? Why haven’t you sent them back yet?”
Liam replied indifferently, “Maybe you should ask them if they want to go back first.”
Stephen gritted his teeth, frustrated. He could only walk to the reporters and tell them to stop the livestream. Just like that, the livestream was cut off again.
Then, Stephen tried to persuade the group to leave, but they refused to listen, stressing him out even more. Moments ago, he still had the upper hand, but now, it was all gone. How should he explain the situation?
Meanwhile, the smile on Simon’s face also froze. He thought defeating Shawn and Howard would guarantee his victory, but to his shock, a group of widows appeared.
No matter how ruthless he was, there was no way he could claim they were fake, right? That would be suicidal.
“I must think about what to do next.
Simon was getting anxious, but things were far from over!
Even the South Regent spoke up. “Nobody knows better than me who the Grand Marshall’s mentee is. It’s Ethan Rivers! I’ve lost to him many times, and he’s also the man who killed
my
father. I’d recognize him, no matter what!”
The moment his message got out, the smile on Simon’s face disappeared completely, and Stephen nearly passed out. Even the South Regent had confirmed Ethan’s identity. How should they respond now?
Simon stumbled into a chair, his mind struggling to work. Just then, the federal government called him in for another meeting.
