Chapter 274 Three Seconds to Run

Those who despised him, those who went out of their way to avoid him – in Preston’s delusional mind, they were all just desperate for his attention.

It never crossed his mind that people simply wanted nothing to do with his inflated ego.

This guy was completely ordinary, yet brimming with confidence.

Talk about shameless! When it came to pure narcissism, Tilda had to throw in the towel!

“What did you say?”

No matter how confident Preston felt, he couldn’t miss the mockery in Tilda’s voice.

Finally, he realized things weren’t what he’d imagined – that Tilda kept the video to get his attention.

The truth ran much deeper.

“Oh my, Preston, you mean that video on those international platforms? It’s trending right now. Everyone should check it out, you’re in for quite the shock!”

Tilda’s sudden, loud announcement caught everyone’s attention.

Curiosity sparked, everyone pulled out their phones, logged into international websites, and scrolled through the trending lists.

They were dying to know what video Tilda was going on about.

Preston lunged forward to cover Tilda’s mouth, but he was too late.

Regarding the domestic broadcast of Rebecca’s humiliating performance, Ryan had leveraged his influence to block all media channels.

As for international websites, Ryan’s hands were tied.

He could only desperately call the administrator of the website that first posted the video.

He offered to pay any amount to take down the video and prevent it from spreading further.

But when the website administrator attempted to remove the video, they discovered it was impossible.

Not only had this video somehow bypassed review and been published directly, but it was also permanently locked in place.

The programmers were frantically working to fix the system bug.

No one knew when it could be repaired.

They could only watch helplessly as the video’s popularity skyrocketed and secured its spot on the trending list.

The comments had surpassed 30,000, and the view count had blown past ten million.

Rebecca, along with Ryan and the entire family, faced international humiliation.

“Oh my God! I found that video! Isn’t… isn’t that Preston’s sister, Rebecca? I’ve seen her at social events!”

“Holy crap! She actually got down on her knees and did something so degrading. Doesn’t she have any dignity?”

“That’s absolutely insane. I never thought Rebecca was into that kind of thing.”

“Well, she’s still part of the Bells after all. No wonder Preston looks completely panicked.”

Everyone who found the video started gossiping and reveling in the drama.

They even discreetly shared it within their own social circles.

Preston listened to the buzz and muttered through gritted teeth, “You posted this video, bypassed the website’s review system, and locked the page so it can’t be deleted. All of this was your doing, wasn’t it?”

“You’re pretty smart, but don’t make accusations without evidence, or I’ll sue you for slander. Now, would you kindly get lost?”

Tilda settled back into her seat.

She deliberately pulled out her phone and searched for the video of Rebecca performing the degrading act.

She turned on the speaker and cranked the volume up to maximum.

Instantly, the sound of Rebecca getting on her knees, crying, and acting pathetically echoed throughout Nightingale Bar.

Everyone gasped.

No wonder Tilda earned the title Queen of Nightingale Bar!

This move was absolutely savage!

She couldn’t care less about Preston or the Bells!

She was literally crushing Preston underfoot and treating him like trash!

“Tilda, what are you doing?”

Preston couldn’t bear to hear such humiliating audio again.

Right now, he wanted to strangle Rebecca.

All he wanted was to snatch the phone from Tilda’s hands.

“Oops, my finger slipped. Sorry about that. Preston, I’ve had enough fun watching your ridiculous clown show. I’m being generous and giving you three seconds. If you don’t disappear and stop being an eyesore, I won’t be nice to you anymore.”

“One.”

“Two.”

“Tilda! We need to talk!”

At this moment, Preston’s mind was focused entirely on pacifying this unhinged woman, Tilda.

Otherwise, Tilda still had another video up her sleeve.

If she managed to release it and let it spread on international video websites where it couldn’t be deleted, then Ryan wouldn’t even be able to suppress the domestic media!

Jude and the others would come after Ryan’s family!

“What you want is for me to marry you, to honor the engagement between the Bells and Jensens, for you to marry into the Bells, right? I agree.”

Splash!

Tilda hurled the Bloody Mary in her hand directly at Preston’s head.

The cold alcohol streamed down Preston’s face.

He stood there as if struck by lightning.

He was completely frozen.

He stared at Tilda in shock.

He still had no clue what had just happened.

But Tilda wasn’t finished.

Tilda grabbed another drink and stood up.

She poured it over Preston’s head.

The icy liquid was bone-chillingly cold.

With the night wind from the river blowing fiercely, Preston shivered and snapped back to his senses.

Tilda threw the glass in her hand at Preston’s head.

Fortunately, Preston reacted quickly and dodged Tilda’s attack.

“Tilda, what the hell is wrong with you?”

“I said three seconds. You didn’t leave, so I won’t hold back. Get your butt out of here and go cry to your mommy.”
