Chapter 576

Elliot stared intently at the scattered photos on the stage. Each one was a photo he had repeatedly admired during his midnight reveries but was now evidence of his crime.

Jeremiah stared at Elliot, a glimmer of killing intent flashing in his eyes. The girls in these photos are as young as 11 or 12 years old, assaulted while unconscious by Elliot. A lowlife like him shouldn't even exist in this world!" he thought, enraged. At that moment, Clyde stepped onto the stage, ripping off his clothes in front of the crowd, revealing bruises and burn marks from cigarette butts all over his body. Gasps of shock rippled through the audience,

Yvette and Jeremiah stood there, their faces unreadable. A single glance between them confirmed they already knew how those injuries came to be.

The crowd erupted in shock, their whispers buzzing like a swarm of bees. "Oh my gosh, isn't that Elliot's assistant? How could he end up with injuries like that? It's terrifying."

"Do we even need to wonder? Anyone stepping forward now must've been hurt by Elliot

"Drug abuse, exploiting yours, and now abusing his assistant-Elliot is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing!

This was the first time Derek had seen the injuries on Clyde, and it shook him to the core. What has Elliot been hiding from me all this time?' he wondered.

He paused, his anger rising with each word. "And for what? He has no inspiration, no real talent. He couldn't even compose his own songs, so he hired ghostwriters. I have all the proof. Elliot is nothing but a complete scumbag!"

It was often said that men only weep when deeply grieved. Clyde, humiliated and tormented for years, finally let it all out in front of everyone.

The crowd was even more stunned by his words. 'Elliot abused his assistant and even hired ghostwriters? He's hopeless! they mused.

By this point, Elliot realized that he had no further grounds to argue. His eyes burned with fury, and his clenched fists trembled at his sides.
