“Why turn it off?” a hoarse male voicerang out from the audience. Liana looked in the direction of the voice and almost screamed when she saw Curtis’ wicked face.
Liana’s dress was drenched in sweat. She couldn’t help but tremble from head to toe. Her expression froze up, unable to express any emotion.
Curtis took a few steps forward into a brightly lit spot in a thuggish manner. The hooligan immediately attracted all the attention.
“A family must be complete. You’reenjoying the high life here, dolled up and eating good, all while this poor child was starving and beaten up in a Mosgravian orphanage. Liana Gardner, don’t you ever feel bad for your daughter?”
Daughter? Her daughter?
Liana was shaking incessantly. Her temples throbbed, and her mind went blank. Once pointed out, everyone could see the resemblance between her and the little girl.
“That’s impossible … Impossible!” shemumbled like she was put under a spell.
“Hah. How ridiculous!” Curtis stared ather pale face with a vile smile.”How could you call yourself a mother if you can’t even identify your daughter? A poor excuse of a mother!”
The audience gasped. The revelation sent a ripple of shock and unease in the crowd. Half of the audience stared at Liana, who was losing it on the stage.
The other half was focused on Jeremy, who clenched his jaw icily. The poor man just got cuckolded in public.
“Lia, what’s going on?” Sophia was closeto losing her composure. She tugged at Liana hard and hissed,”Who’s this guy, and how did he sneak in? What’s between you and him?”
On the other hand, Rosaline lurched at Curtis in anger because she was terrified of being exposed.”You filthy thug! How dare you taint my daughter’s reputation?I won’t let this slide!”
As Curtis was regularly trained in boxing, he agilely dodged her attack. She lost her balance, flapping and stumbling around before falling face flat.
The people around quietly giggled at her clumsiness. Andrew was red in embarrassment and wished to distance himself from his crazy wife.
“Get someone over! Security! Get thesecurity guards!” Liana screamed in horror. She did not have time for Rosaline.
Her priority was to kick Curtis out.”Drag this rude man out here! Now!”
Liana’s refusal to admit to their relationship further triggered Curtis. He was about to verbally attack her further when he heard a chilling voice from behind.
“No one can touch him.”
Eyes burning in rage, Jeremy seemed like a volcano that would erupt at any time. He approached Liana with a sullen face.
Staring at the terrified Liana, he felt suffocated. He remembered her as a kind angel and a sunshine in their childhood. She claimed to only have eyes for him in this life. At that moment, she felt like a stranger to him.
“Jeremy, someone’s framing me. Theyhired a random man to slander me and taint my name!”While frantically explaining to Jeremy, she lifted her dress and rushed toward him from the stage. At one point, she almost tripped on her bulky dress.
The walk to Jeremy was a short but difficult one. When she finally stood in front of him, her legs turned jelly. She gripped his arms so tight that she almost dug into his flesh.
“Jeremy, you’re the only one I love overthese years. In the three years we were apart,I saved myself for you and never fell for another man! 2
“I don’t know who sent that guy to stir uptrouble but don’t listen to his nonsense. You have to trust me!”
“You might have only loved him. Butclaiming that you saved yourself for him? “Curtis roared in laughter, feelingexhilarated at her shameless lie.
“I will sue you for slander! I’m reportingyou to the police!” She glowered at Curtis and pointed a finger at him.
“Are you suing me? I should be the one to fucking sue you for child abandonment!”Curtis ran out of patience and threw a file he carried to Liana.
He continued, “This is the maternity test result of you and our daughter! What can you say when the cold, hard evidence is in your face?”
Since Curtis had no other way out anyway, he decided to drag Liana down with him.
Curtis’ explosive claims dropped a bombshell at the venue.
“Oh my God! Is that filthy and vulgar manLiana Gardner’s lover? What’s wrong with her taste in men? Why would she go after that man when she has Jeremy Walsh?”
“You might not know this, but peoplesometimes get tired of the good stuff and go for wild game meat instead.”
“How could she give birth to his child andthen dream of marrying Jeremy Walsh? She’s so cruel! That child is her flesh and blood!”
“This is shocking news!”
“Crap … Jeremy must be so ashamed ofbeing cuckolded!”
Landon put a hand in his pocket and marched over to pick up the test result from the floor am id the chaos. Frowning, he double-checked the result before bringing it to Jeremy.
He deliberately raised his voice and spoke clearly so that everyone around him could hear.”Jeremy, the organization that issued the result, is the leading authority in the nation. The result is likely legitimate.”
Jeremy pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes. To Liana, all hope was lost at the moment. Fear flooded through her being.
“Jeremy, I developed severe depressionwhen I left you. You knew about that!
“My condition worsened in Mosgravia.Every day was a living hell. I … I lost control of myself. I had no idea what I was doing most of the time.”
At this point, Liana had no choice but to use her depression as a shield to gain Jeremy’s sympathy. After all, as a victim of depression, Jeremy would surely give her a hand.
On the other hand, Sophia was furious and hopeless on the stage. She was enraged at Liana’s stupidity, which led to a disastrous situation.
Her hopelessness stemmed from Liana’s indirect admission that she had slept with Curtis and bore him a daughter.
“Hahaha!Depression? Liana, is that ajoke? How would a heartless woman like you suffer from depression?” Curtis double d over with laughter.
At that moment, the screen changed and displayed a bilingual copy of Liana’s mental health diagnosis, much to everyone’s shock.
“Surprise! The therapist who treated youleft behind evidence. You took the fake diagnosis with you, but he kept the authentic document. He was worried about getting into trouble because of you, bitch!”
He had an evil idea when he thought of the torture he had endured because of Liana.
He spat at her and cursed,”Depression, my ass!Why don’t you check for STDs instead?”
“Shut up! Shut the fuck up!”Despiteboiling in hatred, Liana put on a pitiful expression and glanced at Jeremy with her tear-stricken face. “Jeremy, don’t trust him!Don’t … Ouch!”
Jeremy was overtaken with despair. He forcefully withdrew his arm from her grip, and she almost lost her balance as a result. He was attacked by fury, humiliation, and remorse after finding out about her horrendous lie. Pain ripped through his chest. ¢Ù
His pale lips curled into a sneer as he chuckled with raging eyes. He was laughing at himself for being blind in love. He was dumb to waste three years of Alyssa’s life for Liana, a woman full of lies and wrongdoings.
He hurt Alyssa over and over for Liana. No wonder Alyss a hated him so. Even he would resent himself for what he had done.
“Liana Gardner, let’s break up.”
“W-What did you say?” Jeremy’s attractiveface turned into a blur in her vision. Her mind went blank as if someone had hit her on the back of her head.
The door to the ballroom was busted open without warning. Four policemen marched in Liana’s direction, making her blood run cold. They walked past her and headed toward Rosaline.
“W-What are you doing?”Rosaline’steeth chattered as she squeezed out the question with the last ounce of her mental strength.
“You are Rosaline Kirkman, aren’t you?”One of the police officers went up and handcuffed her.”You are arrested and charged for contract killing. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.”
Everyone turned to Rosaline in shock. She was terribly pale. They knew that the police wouldn’t make the effort to arrest her if they did not have solid evidence.
The arrest basically confirmed that Rosaline had been involved in contract killing.
Rosaline’s ears rang at the sight of the shiny handcuffs on her wrists. Her vision went black in despair.
What happened? Why did it end in this way? She had hired a reliable hitman, who was paid handsomely, to get rid of Liana’s out-of-wedlock daughter.
The murder even happened abroad. How did the authorities find out about it?
“Rosie! Rosie!” Andrew was horrified byhis wife’s arrest. He ran over to stop the policemen. However, he suddenly blacked out, collapsing while grimacing and clutching his chest.
“Call the ambulance!” Javier franticallyrequested help to move Andrew to a corner.
Meanwhile, Landon was dumbfounded by the situation. He gasped, “Fuck!Fuck! Bro, your ex-mother- in-law is arrested for murder! That’s the juiciest gossip of the night!”
Jeremy watched the developments indifferently without any intention to help the Gardners.”It’s only fair to pay for what you did.”
Rosaline was led away by the police officers in plain view of the guests. When she walked pa st Liana, she gave her daughter a teary last look.
Liana finally broke down when she saw her mother’s look.”Don’t take her away! She did not kill anyone! Mom!”
Sobbin g and wailing, she did not run far before she heard the ruffle of fabric. She sensed a cooling touch on her skin as people around her gasped.
