Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 52: I Hate You

Every citizen, whether they were watching personally in the scene or watching online, their attention focused on the big screen.

The video started once more. However this time, the beginning of the video didn't start at where Allen proposed to Joseph Raval to lick his shoes. It started at where Edo Padilla purposely tripped Alyssa Curtis with his foot, causing the woman to tear Joseph Raval's robe accidentally. The video kept on playing. Those absurd and disgusting words came from Joseph Raval's assistant, especially at the moment Edo Padilla tore Alyssa Curtis's clothes under the name of revenge, and what Joseph Raval said right at the moment Allen arrived at that room.

Whatever Allen did after Joseph Raval's statement was also taken in the video. Everything was recorded and filmed vividly. From the first video, the shot was edited and mostly blocked Edo Padilla and Joseph Raval's action and expressions. Their words were also replaced but in the second video presented personally by Xander Villaruel, everything was authentic and not just a duplicate copy.

Edo Padilla and Joseph Raval were just unlucky. They didn't realise that there's another camera precisely pointing at them and filmed them without missing any details.

The video paused for a moment and Xander Villaruel spoke. "You have seen it. That's the beginning of their argument. Joseph Raval and his assistant bullied my artist, Alyssa Curtis. Not only they bullied her. They threw her countless disgusting words and curses. They trampled her dignity and humiliated her. As a man, as a person, as a human, how can they undress the woman just like that and even filmed her? Accusing my artist that she was seducing Joseph Raval and framed him after? That's ridiculous!! In the first video, it focused on how my artist and Allen bullied or humiliated Joseph Raval. But look at this second video. This is not modified. This is not being tampered. This is what the entire video and the truth since from the very beginning.

"Their actions, their expressions, and all their words were recorded clearly and fairly. I only blurred the part that Alyssa Curtis got naked and Joseph Raval to protect their dignity. And avoid humiliating them more. But what Joseph Raval and Edo Padilla did to Alyssa Curtis was unacceptable. Unforgivable! As for what Allen did. Yes, Allen did strip Joseph Raval. Allen also asked Joseph Raval to lick his shoes. But he only did such things to help his co-artist out. Most importantly, he only did that as a gentleman avenging a woman being bullied by assholes and he only did that to make those two men realize the feeling of being bullied.

"You have said it already. Allen had never been involved in any scandal before since he had joined the entertainment industry for five years. He is so talented, being generous to everyone, friendly, and a really outstanding man. He had been with us by only giving us happiness and entertainment. Became everyone's idol and role model because of his good heart. But why did he suddenly become such an evil bully that you called? For me, I only believed that no real gentleman can bear to swallow such actions. It's really despicable! As for Miss Curtis, what did Alyssa Curtis do to deserve your hatred, your curses, and your slanders? You called her a lot of nauseous random names. Devil Goddess? Motherfucker? b***h? And a lot more? What did she do in the video to deserve all of that? She is the real victim here! She is being humiliated. Enough to ruin a person.

"Alright, I have seen a lot. I know you are just being deceived. You are in the dark and didn't know the truth. We won't blame you. But we hope this won't happen again next time. Be sure to know the truth first before saying those hurtful words. As for these two, we will settle this issue privately. With legal means. In addition to these, I also want you to know who uploaded that tampered video. It was also himself. The one who was involved in the fight. It's Edo Padilla."

An IP address appeared on the screen and it was proven that it was Edo Padilla's current address.

"The IP address on the screen belonged to Edo Padilla."

Hearing that, everyone looked at Edo Padilla with hatred and disdain. The crowd flared up even those fans and citizens online. Curses and scolding for Joseph Raval and Edo Padilla just came like a storm.

"So it's all because of him! How dare he harm Allen and Alyssa Curtis!"

"Edo Padilla is evil. He harms my Goddess Alyssa Curtis and Sweetheart Allen. He deserves to be punished in jail!"

"I'm sorry Miss Curtis. I'm sorry Allen. We are blind. We believed those things without digging the truth. We deserved to die."

"Hey, don't involve death here. Since we are wrong, like me, I will just compensate for my actions by believing, supporting, and loving them forever. I won't believe any nonsense involving them in the future."

Edo Padilla and Joseph Raval's faces turned pale in shame.

Xindy Apostol pushed Edo Padilla angrily. "How dare you do this? So all these things, are your doings? You're so evil!"

"No. No. It's not like that. It's not what you think." Edo Padilla shook his head, terror overtook his eyes and looking like a madman. "It's not me. I didn't do this. I was framed. What they showed all of you is nonsense. It's framing me!"

Edo Padilla looked at Joseph Raval. "Brother Joseph, tell them the truth. I'm not evil. I was framed!"

Joseph Raval dashed to him and gave his assistant an earth-shattering slap and everyone was stunned to see that.

"Thank you. It's because of you, my career is over. My life is over." Joseph Raval said, rage filled his eyes. As if he wanted to choke Edo Padilla to death. "I hate you."

"Brother Joseph?"

"Stop calling me that!" With that said, Joseph Raval walked out from the stage.
