As soon as the man yelled, everyone rushed forward to see what he was watching, while others checked their phones.
It was Paul, Mr. Kingsley’s son. He was live on t k sobbing as he confessed to all the terrible things he had done.
He admitted that the video showing Marcus begging for money was a lie, staged by him. He explained the reason behind it.
Marcus had knelt only to collect an inhaler from him for a dying girl he had bullied. Paul went on to confess that he was a bully and even played videos of himself harassing and beating others.
“I’m making this video to ask for forgiveness for my terrible actions and behavior,” he said through tears.
“Please forgive me. And Mr. Marcus, the man in that video, wasn’t begging for money. He was begging for an inhaler p>
With that, the live stream ended. Behind the scene was lizzyple who forced the confession out of him
Instantly, the hall fell silent. People swallowed hard and avoided each other’s eyes. They had abused and mocked Marcus
because of that video.
Now, they were all wrong.
Julia smiled softly. “I knew it,” she said. “I knew you had your reason for kneeling before that boy. Once again, I chose the right side p>
“I know you’re a good person,” she said. “You knelt down just to save a life p>
Whispers spread throughout the hall as everyone tried to process what they had just witnessed.
“Oh, so that’s what happened!” a man exclaimed. “This whole time, we thought he was begging for money. He was actually trying to save a dying girl p>
Another guest shook his head in disbelief. “He is truly a hero. How many people would be willing to kneel before someone just to save another person’s life p>
“And he just exposed Mr kinglsey also!”. someone else added. “Now his son is apologizing and telling us the truth, This is crazy p>
Soon, the atmosphere changed completely. The same people who had mocked Marcus earlier now approached him with smiles, offering apologies and praising his character. Some shook his hand, while others asked for his phone number.
Several guests even brought out their phones, eager to take pictures with him. Marcus soon found himself surrounded by people who wanted to speak with him, shake his hand, or capture a moment beside him.
In less than ten minutes, he had become the highlight of the entire party.
Julia stood beside him, smiling proudly as she watched the guests shower him with attention. She had defended him when almost everyone else had turned against him, and now, her decision had been proven right.
However, not everyone was happy about the sudden turn of events.
Victoria and Steven stood in a corner, their faces twisted with anger. They had believed Mr. Kingsley would be their ticket to greater influence. More importantly, they had expected his support to help them ruin Julia and Marcus.
Instead, everything had turned upside down.
Not only had Mr. Kingsley’s reputation taken a hit, but Julia and Marcus had gained even more popularity. Everywhere they looked, people were praising the two of them.
“This is ridiculous!” Victoria muttered through clenched teeth.
Steven’s fists tightened. He had no answer, and that only made him angrier.

Chapter 309
Meanwhile, Jessica and Jackson watched the commotion from a distance.
Jessica folded her arms and stared at Marcus. “He always gets lucky. Somehow, he keeps finding himself at the center of everything, and his popularity keeps growing p>
Jackson narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. “Doesn’t that sound familiar? It’s almost as if he’s some kind of undercover agent p>
He paused before continuing, “Otherwise, why would he be investigating Mr. Kingsley? There’s definitely something going on p>
Jessica nodded slowly. She had been thinking along the same lines.
Several hours later, the party finally came to an end. Marcus and Julia had exchanged contacts with numerous influential guests, gaining new connections and supporters. Among them was Mr. Lyon, who seemed particularly impressed by Marcus.
Before leaving, the older man approached him with a warm smile.
“Marcus, I must say, you’ve earned my respect today. Not many people would risk being misunderstood just to help someone in need. Your actions speak louder than any words could p>
Marcus smiled politely. “You’re too kind, Mr. Lyon p>
“Not at all. I hope we can keep in touch. I’d like to get to know you better p>
“Of course, sir p>
Mr. Lyon nodded approvingly before walking away.
As soon as he left, Jessica approached Marcus, a playful smile on her face.
“Wow, Marcus. You certainly know how to create drama and somehow make every situation work in your favor p>
Marcus chuckled. “If you put it that way, Jessica, then I suppose I’m quite talented p>
Jessica studied him for a moment, her smile gradually fading.
“You know, I’ve always found you a little strange. You seem to know things before they happen, and you always appear whenever something suspicious is going on.” She leaned closer and lowered her voice. “I think I’ve finally figured it out. You’re a police officer, aren’t you? An undercover one p>
Hearing this, Marcus burst into laughter. The accusation was amusing, especially considering that he could, in a way, be described as someone working undercover.
Jessica shook her head at his reaction. “Well, I just hope they’re paying you well for all this trouble p>
With that, she turned and walked away.
Julia, who had been listening nearby, scoffed softly.
“Honestly, I won’t even bother asking you any questions,” she said, turning toward Marcus. “You did the right thing today, and that’s what matters. When the time is right, I’m sure you’ll tell me everything. Just be careful, Marcus p>
Marcus looked at her for a moment before giving her a small smile.
He appreciated that she trusted him enough not to demand answers.
And for now, that was more than enough.
At that moment, his phone buzzed, he checked it and it was a message from Natalie.
“I just received Intel on Mr. Alfred ‘s death, we might just discover who killed him p>
