Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 302 Explosive Gossip (2)

Unbeknownst to the backstage staff, someone had taken advantage of the chaos to manipulate the remaining video footage and project it onto the split screens for all to see.

At that moment, the split screen hanging in the air was playing a video of Ruby's agent, Cosmo, and Stellar Entertainment's COO, who was also Harold's cousin, Roy Brooks, engaging in sexual activity.

The video also revealed Cosmo's subsequent departure from the entertainment industry with a noticeable pregnancy and her eventual solo childbirth. Seeking professional assistance in naming the child, she named her Ruby Lewis. To prevent discovery, she entrusted Ruby to her brother, Milton Coleman, for upbringing.

The video was brief but provided a clear explanation of the situation.

"Look, everyone, look! That's Cosmo."

"Who found this surveillance footage so many years later?"

"Ruby is actually Cosmo's daughter. Cosmo was with Stellar Entertainment's COO Roy, and Ruby is with Stellar Entertainment's CEO Harold."

Stellar Entertainment was founded by Harold and Roy together.

"Wait, let me think! This relationship is a bit confusing."

"So how do they address each other as mother and daughter?"

"I always suspected there was a reason Cosmo secured the top agent position; turns out it was because of her involvement with Roy."

"Disgusting, her whole family is disgusting."

The host on stage was already stiff.

Ruby and Cosmo obviously didn't expect such old gossip to surface, and both were shocked.

Moreover, the backstage staff were so stunned by this shocking gossip that they forgot to pull the plug. It was when the edited surveillance video finished playing that they reacted and quickly pulled the plug.

At that moment, the room fell silent, and everyone directed mocking gazes at Ruby and Cosmo.

Cosmo felt like someone had ripped open an old wound, feeling very painful.

Just then, the media reporters blocked outside all rushed in, seeing Cosmo and Ruby and running towards them frantically.

There were dedicated camera operators inside the award hall so that the media couldn't get in. They were waiting outside, watching the live broadcast on their phones, and unexpectedly learned this explosive gossip.

For the sake of their work performance, they ignored the bodyguards' obstruction and all rushed in.

The Gomez family's bodyguards saw this and quickly protected Richael in the middle.

Ruby, only twenty-one years old, had never witnessed such a chaotic scene and was already terrified.

Seeing the situation, Cosmo immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled Ruby towards the backstage.

The reporters saw this and hurriedly chased after them.

It was very chaotic.

After a hard time, things quieted down, and the audience started discussing heatedly, with mocking and ridiculing comments everywhere. Even the highly professional host on stage didn't know how to control the situation at that moment. Richael, wearing a cold expression and displeased mood, rose from her independent sofa in the front row and left accompanied by her bodyguards.

Otis Patterson, the main person in charge of this award, quickly went up to apologize.

Richael sneered and said, "I didn't know the entertainment industry had become so chaotic. I thought I would see a very promising newcomer, but what did I see? Otis, you have disappointed me."

With that, she left directly.

Otis was very worried.

Meanwhile, Cosmo was holding Ruby's hand and unable to shake off the reporters behind them.

Suddenly, Cosmo spotted a restroom up ahead and swiftly pulled Ruby along, seeking refuge inside.
