After catching my wife in bed with another man, I remarried novel Chapter 30

The wealthiest man on earth seemed to be surprised by my request, he asked:

"I'm not gonna ask why, just tell me what you want me to do."

"Can you book me an live interview with a big news media, so I can make an official response."

"You got it."

The next day, a staff from the biggest news station called me.

And the day after, I made it to the headline—

"The backstabbing multi-millionaire will officially response to his family's accusations in a live interview."

Soon, the comment section was flooded.

"Bruh, stop trying, there's no way you can turn things around."

"This might go down as the worst son in human history."

"Lol. I've never seen anyone who tries to expose themselves."

"Yooo, this is going to be epic, I called in a sick day just to watch this."

"I simply can't wait for the stream to begin."

......

The news spread like a virus,

It was trending number one on all of the social media platforms.

Thousands and thousands of people swarmed into the live broadcast even before it started.

Half an hour later,  the stream started.

I slowly walked into the frame, to make the audience more entertained, they put a giant screen in front of me, it's live comment section.

All I could see, was hateful comments.

The host sat down next to me, spoke to me politely:

"Mr. Harrison, tell us about your thoughts on your family's accusation."

I looked into the camera, and said:

"Why don't we start from my childhood? My name, is Daniel Harrison, I was born in a not so wealthy family. When I was three, my mom gave birth to my brother, Ethan. Ever since I could recall, my parents has only been telling me one thing, that is treating your little brother like it's your son, my only responsibility in this house was to raise him right. So whenever they brought home any toys, Ethan would always be the first one to play, he liked eating drumsticks, so they cooked drumsticks every single day. But he was never fond of chicken skin, so thanks to him, I got to eat chicken skin for every meal. Frankly, I never liked it, but it was either that or anything."

I paused, and took a sip of water.

"Whenever we got new clothes, they would buy them for Ethan, and I could only wear them once he got newer clothes. So my entire elementary school, I was wearing super tight shirts. I remembered getting laughed at every single day, for wearing skinny shorts and tight shirts. So I went home, and cried to my parent. They just looked at each other, and told me to eat less, so I could fit in those shirts. And I asked them if they could spare some money to buy me one toy, they said no, and asked me why I never considered for my brother first. After that, there was no chicken skins for me anymore. In middle school, since he's the one eating good, he grew taller than me, while I was still a short, skinny boy. But at least I no longer had to wear tight shirts. I was happy for a while, till one day, they told me to drop out. They said I should get a part time job somewhere, and they could no longer afford my tuition. But the thing was, I actually liked going to school, I liked learning new things every day, and I was a straight A student too, so I told them that, and tried to convince them by saying my good grades would eventually turn into a scholarship, so they no longer need to pay for my tuition. But all I got was a ‘no'. So I dropped out, and started working. I don't even know if it was legal to work at construction sites this young, but that was my first job, the pay was decent, decent enough to buy my brother new clothes every single day. But you know, I was skinny and weak, I couldn't even hold a hammer without my hands shaking, so they fired me few weeks later. I remembered going home that day, with the paycheck in my hands, I thought they'd be happy, but no, dad beated the crap out of me, said I would never become a man, he called me useless. My mom took the money, gave 500 bucks to my brother, and 100 to me, to buy my brother a nice birthday gift. I had to find new jobs, pizza-delivery, washed dishes, waiter, mechanic, I've done a lot of things. But all the paycheck were taken by them, to give to my brother. Every single penny of his tuition, I earned it, I wouldn't spend any money on myself, except I would buy a new sweater for myself every Christmas, that was it."Yes, that's how they actually raised me."

I spat everything out calmly.

I thought the internet went down, because I didn't see any new comments rolling out.

I spent the next hour, answering every single questions the audience asked, and those hateful comments against me were gone, they started attacking my parents.

I didn't response to any of those comments, I proceeded to speak:

"My biggest mistake in life was going to prison for 5 years. But I wasn't the criminal, my brother was the driver that night, but when the accident happened, he asked me to cover up for him, so I ended up in jail."

I saw the comment section filled with "?".

I took out a sd card.

"This is the dash cam footage from that night, it clearly captured what happened that night."

I handed the card over to the host to have her play it.

In the footage, we could hear Ethan and Cathy's voice clearly, they were laughing  and joking, until he drove my car to the opposite side of the road, at that time they were still laughing, and they went even faster and faster...

The car didn't stop until a pedestrian disappeared in the frame.

The audience was outrageous.

I waited a few moments to speak again.

"The first thing after the accident happened, my parents called me, begging me to cover up for my brother, they said he had such a bright future ahead of him, he can't be ruined by a car accident, but I was a nobody, so it was only right if I did that for my brother. That's how I got locked up, and when I came back, I had to put up with their attitudes, still, they kicked me out. That's my family, not the one you saw in the video."

At this point, I couldn't hold my tears anymore.

Finally, I told the truth.
