Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 59: Vengeance Achieved, the Jacobs Family Got What They Deserved!
Iris Crawford’s appearance seemed epoch-defining, gathering all the traits that supposedly shouldn’t exist on women into one person.
Exceptionally arrogant, wildly overbearing, she seemed to never care about how others viewed her, behaving like an absurd, unruly man.
When she grabbed the microphone to announce her role as the global ambassador, she intentionally glanced at Vera in the audience, her eyes laced with mockery and pity, saying to her, "I really have to thank your diva behavior, otherwise, this ambassador title wouldn’t have come to me."
It was a complete heart-stabbing remark, like pouring salt on Vera’s wound!
Sean Hale’s perfume brand is incredibly famous; being the global ambassador is a very prestigious role, now casually taken by Iris Crawford while she smilingly thanked Vera.
Vera initially maintained her pitiful appearance but had now transformed into a picture of gritted teeth. At first, she didn’t know Iris Crawford’s identity and had prepared to embarrass her at today’s press conference!
But she never expected Iris Crawford to defy public opinion and slap her face like this!
Vera might play the victim, act like a diva, wear two faces — but Iris Crawford? She’s a specialist in dealing with fake people!
Watching Iris Crawford soaking up the public attention, Vera was trembling with anger, her eyes turning red, "You’re bullying me like this, and everyone’s watching!"
"Yes, everyone’s watching," Iris Crawford fearlessly replied with a smirk, "just like when you bullied the staff that night, everyone could see the good and the bad, and they have their judgment."
She made no concealment of bullying Vera.
She was blatantly declaring war with Vera!
Vera’s assistant, supporting the trembling Vera, sharply retorted to Iris Crawford, "Don’t be smug! The entertainment industry isn’t as simple as you think, Missy. Do you really believe you can call the shots here? Here, it’s all about talent; without it, you’ll be cast aside!"
Iris Crawford curiously replied, "Talent? Does your Vera have it, with her deadpan face in ads and acting?"
Patrick Pierce, standing by, gasped at Iris Crawford’s audacious speech, thinking maybe only Iris Crawford would dare talk like that in public...
She didn’t fear Vera’s die-hard delusional fans at all!
Vera, incited by Iris Crawford, turned pale. A prominent top celebrity was being embarrassed by a newcomer, she truly underestimated this vixen Iris Crawford!
To think she managed to enter the entertainment circle as "Patrick Pierce’s driver" — she must be a schemer!
The assistant, trying to salvage the situation, said to Vera, "Vera, we still have another engagement later; there’s no need to bother with this shrew’s petty squabbles... let’s just leave."
Upon hearing this, Vera’s complexion slightly improved. Yes, she did come here in front of everyone, and if she didn’t find a decent excuse to leave, people might think she was scared!
Vera then cast a venomous glare at Iris Crawford, saying, "I’ll casually congratulate you on becoming the global ambassador. Let’s see what happens next."
"Haha." Iris Crawford clapped with the microphone in hand, "You really know how to save face for yourself. Safe travels, won’t see you off."
"..." The entire press audience remained silent, overwhelmed by Iris Crawford’s sharp tongue, each sentence more piercing than the last. People often preach forgiveness, but not Iris Crawford; she enjoys watching those who bullied others now get bullied by her.
The staff, who once endured Vera’s attitude and bullying during late nights, nearly wanted to step up and massage Iris Crawford’s shoulders and legs in appreciation — she was truly venting for them! This was a live broadcast!
Vera had never faced such embarrassment. The assistant quickly cut the live feed, after all, it was Vera’s reputation at stake, and they didn’t dare go against it, so they disrupted the broadcast, replacing it with a pre-recorded MV commercial, promptly preventing the scene from reaching more viewers.
But what Iris Crawford did today already won everyone’s admiration, earning her the title of "Your Majesty the Queen" from the crowd.
Watching Vera leave, grinding her teeth, Iris Crawford finally raised her chin high and turned to the entire staff, saying, "After some minor hiccups, everything’s much better. Let’s continue."
Sean Hale Company’s team continuously gave Iris Crawford thumbs up; they loved such an unrepentant attitude, and she was unexpectedly a woman, which made it all the more remarkable!
She was a stunning beauty with a vicious edge, definitely powerful!
The whole press conference was extremely lively, and when the final announcement was released, the photos of Iris Crawford were stunning, while Orion Crawford, staying home browsing his phone, saw his sister topping headlines, even coming across headlines like "Heiress’s comeback revenge, clashing with Vera on the spot?" all enticingly worded to spark readers’ interest.
Upon clicking, he found his sister standing radiantly on stage. The event was supposed to be Patrick Pierce’s spotlight, but now, he was merely a backdrop, and Iris Crawford just smiled slightly, naturally taking the center stage.
There were quite a few of Vera’s fans storming in to attack Iris Crawford, and the comment section was particularly lively. Orion Crawford was initially worried about his sister’s reputation but, after watching for a while, he slapped his thigh, thinking, who cares! As long as his sister was enjoying herself!
After dealing with everything, Iris Crawford greeted all the journalists and stepped out of the crowd. The sky had darkened considerably. She returned to her car where Lachlan Wyatt was sitting, playing on his phone as if the past few hours were of no concern to him. Iris Crawford opened the car door, and only then did he look up from the passenger seat, "All done?"
"Mm." Iris Crawford tossed her hair, "I officially announced that I’m not dead and let Jordan Jacobs know that the revenge has begun."
With Iris Crawford’s resurfacing news going public, Jordan Jacobs and Yvonne Jennings were bound to face a tough situation because recently, everyone knew about Jordan Jacob’s wedding. It was like a slap in the face for him!
Lachlan Wyatt let out a cold laugh, "Still quite pleased?"
Does she not realize how many enemies she’ll attract by exposing herself publicly like this?
No, she knows. She’s tearing the facade away so blatantly just to tell those enemies, I’m saving time, you might as well all come at me at once.
"Of course I’m pleased." Iris Crawford took a deep breath, ready to start the car, "I’ve been faking my death for two years, now I can finally emerge into the public eye."
"It’s not Jordan Jacobs who’s suffering now, it’s Yvonne Jennings."
Lachlan Wyatt reached over and touched Iris Crawford’s hair, "Sometimes I’m really curious about you, Iris. You seem to enjoy that feeling of mutual destruction."
Iris Crawford didn’t resist Lachlan Wyatt’s touch. She squinted her eyes and stepped on the gas pedal.
Lachlan, will we also have that kind of pleasure in the future?
All that talk of parting amicably is just surface-level, it’s all lies.
She wants life or death, complete destruction!
Jordan Jacobs, how long have I waited for this day? To completely bring you down, I must stand up and take everything back with my own hands.
That day, the news of Jordan Jacobs’ affair exploded everywhere, with all the chatter online centered around the lavish marriage between The Crawford Family and the Jacobs Family years ago.
Everyone realized through Yvonne Jennings’ presence that Jordan Jacobs had already cheated back then, and two years later, with his original wife not dead, he still thought of marrying a new bride on the anniversary of his original wife’s fake death!
"What a heartless act! After sharing a bed for so many years, how could Jordan Jacobs be so ruthless?"
"The more elite, the more ruthless, Jordan Jacobs is truly terrifying!"
"I can’t even imagine what kind of life Iris Crawford has lived in these two years..."
"If I recall correctly, there were even rumors back then about Jordan Jacobs being deeply in love with his late wife and refusing to remarry. Who knew two years later, he’d be in such a hurry to marry a newcomer!"
"If Iris Crawford hadn’t stepped forward, who knows how miserable it would be! Fortunately, she’s got a strong life... Otherwise, just imagining letting a mistress and a scumbag have their way is infuriating!"
"I have a feeling we should reinvestigate the kidnapping from back then. Is there any chance Jordan Jacobs was the one behind it?"
Jordan Jacobs was furious as he looked at the online news, his eyes turning red with rage. Iris Crawford, Iris Crawford! How dare she make their past public at such a significant occasion!
Now, all sorts of versions of the story were spreading, with some even claiming he’s a murderer who intricately plotted the kidnapping to kill Iris Crawford!
Originally, Jordan Jacobs and Yvonne Jennings planned to use the internet to spin the old video of attacking Iris Crawford to incite cyberbullying against her, but now the situation has completely flipped, with everyone online attacking him and Yvonne Jennings, saying they are a perfect match in disgrace!
Jordan Jacobs smashed his phone, his eyes filled with hatred. After maintaining his persona for so long, how could it be completely shattered because of Iris Crawford? No, he absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!
So, Jordan Jacobs began seeking people to buy off news, paying to suppress matters that could be suppressed, unwilling to let things spiral out of his control. Yvonne Jennings, while crying, clutched Jordan Jacobs’ hand, saying, "Jacobs, are we going to have to separate?"
"No, never!" Jordan Jacobs embraced Yvonne Jennings, "I chose you, I won’t abandon you!"
"They’re scolding me..." Yvonne Jennings began to play the victim, crying pitifully, "Jacobs, I’m so afraid I won’t be able to hold on..."
The night the news broke, gossip made it to the top, with the whole city speculating about the truth of the kidnapping case from back then.
The next day, the Jacobs Family stock plummeted, and someone threw rotten eggs at the company entrance, loudly shouting—Murderer!
The day after, Howard Jennings’ tea shop was smashed, with accusations that cockroaches were found in the tea and the news was suppressed, and that with Jordan Jacobs’ mistress’s help, they could cover the sky with one hand, and now karma was catching up.
After a week of cyberbullying, Iris Crawford sat in the base, happily whistling while playing Minesweeper, and Patrick Pierce tossed over a phone, "There’s new news."
Top of the trending list [Jordan Jacobs spotted entering hospital with new lover, suspected mistress suffering from depression?]
"Depression?"
Iris Crawford glanced at it, found it dull, and tossed the phone back, "Just Yvonne Jennings’ usual pity play."
"It works though," Lachlan Wyatt said gloomily, "the release of this news has already shifted the public opinion, seems like one of Jordan Jacobs’ PR tactics. Some people feel sorry for her being so young and being driven to depression by cyberbullying."
