Chapter 360
Stephen had already been deceived by the mayor several times.
“Hahaha!”
The recording ended with Brandon and Shawn’s unrestrained laughter, echoing for at least ten seconds before finally stopping.
The recording finally ended, and the man took out the gift from the box. It was nothing but a mask, a ridiculous clown mask!
Everyone finally understood why Brandon and Shawn were chuckling so loudly. They were mocking Stephen as a clown!
“How bold!” Stephen’s friend was the first to get angry. He snatched the mask and slammed it to the ground, then stomped it to pieces. Then, he grabbed the man’s collar,” Are you here to mock us?”
The man trembled in fear as he explained, “I’m just doing my job.”
Stephen’s expression darkened. It was his wedding day, but his enemies sent him a gift. What was with this situation? Moreover, they gifted him a clown mask. This was nothing but public humiliation!
Stephen swore in his heart that he must capture Brandon and Shawn. Not only did he have to take revenge on them, but he also had to make them pay the price for ruining North Hill City!
“Take this man away for questioning!” The man was soon escorted away.
Stephen’s friends noticed Stephen’s dark expression and quickly comforted him.
“Stephen, don’t take it to heart. It’s all part of your enemies‘ schemes!”
“Yes, they’re very cunning.”
“They must be intentionally disrupting the wedding!”
Stephen took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.
The guests glanced at each other. The luxurious gifts from the two young masters of Metropolis had made everyone feel embarrassed about presenting their gifts. Now, Brandon and Shawn’s gift was unique in a different light and overshadowed the others!
Before anyone could fully process what happened, someone entered again. It was another man holding a gift box.
As he walked in, he shouted, “Howard and Dennis have sent a gift!”
Stephen felt a chill run down his spine. These two had also stripped him of his dignity.

Howard had scammed Stephen and had even stolen a large amount of equipment, then escaped abroad to live a carefree life. On the other hand, Dennis had once ordered someone to toss him into a dumpster.
Stephen had not even taken revenge on them, but they were actually sending him gifts?
Before the man could say anything, Stephen’s friend snatched the gift box away and shoved him. Once the box was opened, what sat inside was nothing but a phone.
“It’s a phone?” They took out the phone and handed it to Stephen, letting him handle it.
Stephen realized the phone had no password and could be unlocked with a tap. A recorded video started playing, and a voice boomed.
In the video, Howard sat on a mountain of cash and said with a laugh, “Thank you for giving me so much money and equipment. With these two things, I finally achieved my current status. Honestly, I want to give you some money. Unfortunately, you’re the Quinns
young master, so you shouldn’t be short of funds.”
Looking at Howard’s smug smile in the video, Stephen wished he could punch Howard through the screen.
Once Howard’s video finished playing, another video started playing automatically. It was a video of Stephen being tossed into a dumpster in Crestwood.
Bang!
Stephen was so angry that he immediately smashed the phone to the ground.
“That’s going too far!” Stephen felt that Howard and Dennis were utterly inhumane. They actually sent him videos to mock him at his wedding. Moreover, they humiliated him in front of so many people!
Below the stage, many guests began to whisper among themselves.
Although Stephen had shifted much of the blame for Seaside City’s matter and made people believe that he bore no responsibility, everyone still harbored a hint of doubt about Stephen’s abilities.
Now that even Howard and Dennis dared to publicly mock Stephen during his wedding, everyone’s doubts about Stephen grew.
Hearing the voices below the stage, he felt his face burn in embarrassment. He wished he could hide himself immediately. His wedding had been such a failure!
His bride, Rachel, had gone to Ethan, and he only learned about her whereabouts when Ethan called him. When he realized he could not beat Ethan, whether it was an argument or a fight, he finally returned to proceed with the wedding. What was worse was that his enemies had sent him humiliating gifts, one after another! They all exposed his dark past and failures.

Before Stephen could say anything, someone walked in again. Once the man with the gift box walked in, he noticed everyone looking at lim and got nervous.
“Oliver and Jamire… have sent gifts over!” This time, the ones sending gifts were the businessmen in Aqua City.
