Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The friends were unhappy.

“Cole Stone, why are you being such a prick? This is your mother-in-law we’re talking about! She’s basically your second mother!”

“I really find it weird how you can still be so self-righteous despite being in the wrong. Why are you shouting at this and that? Did the Smiths owe you anything in your previous life?”

“Hurry up!”

“Kneel down and apologize to them!”

Jane Smith purposely called out her close friends to speak up for her.

In their opinion, Cole Stone was not a human being.

Even if it were other people, they would have said the same words for the sake of their friend.

Cole Stone smiled sarcastically. “You’re saying that I had an affair? Where’s the evidence?”

“Oh? You still dare to ask for the evidence?”

A friend pressed the play button and threw the photos on the coffee table at Cole Stone’s feet.

“Here you go. This is the evidence that you want.”

Jane Smith looked at Cole Stone’s indifferent expression.

She felt increasingly uneasy…

It can’t be!

Did he have a way to turn this around?

The video on the television soon ended.

Cole Stone stared at the photos and the video.

He did not say anything.

Susan Collins said aggressively, “Did you really expect that there would be no evidence of your crimes? Why don’t you say anything? Afraid?”

Cole Stone remained silent.

Fia Stone trembled in extreme disappointment.

Cole Stone single handedly destroyed their family…

Just then.

Cole Stone suddenly laughed. “That’s it?”

The look of disdain on his face was clear.

Everyone’s eyes quickly became filled with anger.

He was still not admitting his mistake?

Flint Smith stood up and straightened his neck.

“This is irrefutable evidence. What evidence do you need?”

Cole Stone shook his head. “What kind of evidence is this? There isn’t even any explicit scene.”

Quinn Young and Jane Smith felt a strong sense of unease.

Cole Stone suddenly pulled open his backpack and pulled out a wad of paper.

Screenshots of chat records!

Quinn Young widened her eyes.

“Jane Smith, I’m telling you, this is a record of transfer for tuition fees—”

Cole Stone picked up the photo. “When your mom stopped you from going to school, I borrowed money and worked overtime to pay for your tuition!”

A transfer of 1.5 thousand dollars could be seen.

Susan Collins sarcastically replied, “So what if you paid her tuition fees? Both of you were engaged! This is your duty as her future husband! Wow! You’re so petty and calculative!”

“Oh, you’re calling me petty?”

Cole Stone calmly smiled and picked up the chat records.

“This money is the money I earned working overtime to buy you a holiday present. Have you ever bought anything for me?”

Jane Smith felt guilty but she refused to admit anything. “Didn’t I give you something?”

“You mean the cheap bag that you dumped in the trash can?”

Cole Stone sneered.

Jane Smith didn’t dare to refute.

Seeing this, the crowd began to waver. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Zayne Stone and Fia Stone were stunned.

At that moment, Cole Stone pulled out a key.

He walked to the door and inserted it into a lock. It did not budge.

“This is the new house that I bought after working hard for three years and incurring debt from my relatives. But my key can no longer open the lock of this door, how come that I can’t open the door to my very own house that I paid for with my own money?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Zayne Stone and Fia Stone’s expressions changed drastically.

The lock of the new house was changed?

The Smiths’ faces turned ugly.

Just then.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Quinn Young, who remained silent for a long time, suddenly stood up.

She sneered and clapped her hands. “I have to say, my horizons have really been broadened today. Cole Stone, you’re awfully well-prepared. You’re also really good at distorting the truth.”

“You were the one who changed the lock of the new house…”

“The key is in your pocket, but you said that we changed the lock?”

“It’s true that Jane’s tuition and living expenses were paid by you, but this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with your affair, right?”

“She’s a master’s student and is having a hard time studying every day. Why are you giving her more stress?”

“Are you still human?”

Quinn Young furiously cursed, but she felt extremely proud inside.

After seeing the evidence given by Cole Stone, she knew that she had won.

Cole Stone had truly run out of tricks.

He actually relied on an unrelated piece of evidence to try and turn the tables!

Didn’t this mean that there was no evidence of Jane Smith’s affair?

Hearing Quinn Young’s words, everyone suddenly realized something.

Cole Stone’s words had nothing to do with his affair.

Everyone was infuriated. “You’re still trying to change the topic at a time like this?!”

“He doesn’t dare to face the truth. He really did cheat on her!”

“What do you mean there aren’t any explicit scenes? Hmph! Messing around with your students in the gym is already explicit enough. What are you even talking about?”

The Smiths’ arrogance inflated once more.

But Cole Stone did not panic at all.

Instead, he smiled and remarked. “Quinn Young, what’s the rush?”

“Did I say I was done?”

Quinn Young’s pride dissipated at once.

Cole Stone picked up his phone. “Let me show everyone an interesting video.”

A video was projected onto the television.

Everyone looked over.

This was the video that Cara Williams gave to him.

Cole Stone sneered and indifferently said.

“You said I cheated?”

“That I abused a pregnant woman?”

“Really? Jane Smith?”

The video started.

Jane Smith watched the content and her face turned pale.

Quinn Young was horrified.

“How… how is this possible?”

The first part of the video came from the surveillance footage of a hotel.

A month ago.

Seven consecutive days.

At the same time!

James Lewis and James Lewis walked into the elevator and into a room.

The second part came from the surveillance footage of a bar.

The timestamp showed that it happened yesterday.

At the Golden K Bar.

In the scene, James Lewis harshly slapped Jane Smith.

The video then ended.

The entire living room was silent.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Cole Stone then threw out a stack of photos with a cold gaze.

“Jane Smith, do you want to know what evidence is? This is what you f*cking call evidence.”

In the photos, Jane Smith and James Lewis were kissing passionately in the elevator.

Fia Stone felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Zayne Stone became incomparably furious.

They had wrongly accused their son!

“No—that’s… that’s not—”

Jane Smith was in a panic.

She could not believe that Cole Stone had so much evidence.

The friends that she called over started to distance themselves from Jane Smith.

They finally understood what was going on.

They were being played by Jane Smith from the start.

“No!”

Quinn Young angrily hollered.

She was panicking as well. “That’s edited! It’s all fake!”

“Fake?”

Cole Stone smirked. “Are you talking about that video evidence of yours?”

Cole Stone played a recording.

The voices in the audio were chaotic.

But the voices were eerily vivid and clear for everyone present.

These voices came from the video that Jane Smith had taken out as evidence.

This audio came from what happened early this morning.

Everyone raised their heads and glared at both Quinn Young and Jane Smith after they heard the recording.

“Is it fun to fool us like idiots?”

The content was edited into a mess!

Looking at Cole Stone, guilt flashed across everyone’s faces.

They had just framed Cole Stone over an edited video.

They almost became Jane Smith’s accomplice in crime!

Quinn Young’s face turned pale.

How come Cole Stone was so well prepared?

As for the Smiths, they had completely given up on resisting.

They were out of moves!

“As for these photos?”

Cole Stone bent down and picked up the photo of the gym on the floor.

He laughed and remarked.

“The angle of the picture is pretty good, but when did my hand touch them?”

The crowd looked over carefully and gnashed their teeth once again.

So these photos were also fake!

Their anger towards Jane Smith and Quinn Young rose.

Just then.

Cole Stone walked up to Jane Smith and looked at her.

“Aren’t you always saying that I abused you?”

“If I don’t hit you now, won’t I be letting you down?”

Cole Stone laughed.

It made Jane Smith shudder.

Jane Smith’s expression changed drastically.

She wanted to hide.

She knew what Cole Stone wanted to do.

She roared in panic. “Hit me? Do you dare?”

“Why not?”

Jane Smith thought that Cole Stone would be too afraid to make a move.

But Cole Stone immediately raised his hand and slapped Jane Smith hard on the face.

Slap!

The sound of a slap exploded in the room.

“Ah!”

Jane Smith cried out in pain and fell to the ground with her hands covering her face.

The slap was too painful!
