Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 230: Why Don’t You Prove Your Innocence?

Upon closer inspection, Lachlan Wyatt’s hand was still resting on Hannah Lennox’s exposed skin, as if they had just been engaged in some intimate and ambiguous physical contact. When Hannah looked up, her expression was indeed that of a helpless damsel, her eyes filled with countless emotions, as if she was deeply in love with Lachlan at that moment.

Iris Crawford chuckled, casually standing at the door. She changed her posture, crossing her arms in front of her chest, leaning against the door to watch the show.

Hannah sweetly said, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I just...borrowed my brother’s bathroom, and accidentally fell when I came out."

Lachlan said expressionlessly, "Get off me."

Hannah, on the verge of tears, clutched the towel at her back that was about to fall, and stumbled to her feet. Her exposed skin, having been soaked in hot water, looked enticingly rosy, a sight no man could resist.

Unfortunately, Lachlan didn’t even blink. After Hannah stood up, he clicked his tongue and then looked at Iris at the door, saying, "Listen to me."

"Okay, there’s plenty of time to hear you out tonight, but right now, help your sister get dressed first."

Iris led the way, nonchalantly walking in, and as she spoke, she took off her own coat and casually threw it over Hannah’s shoulders.

Hannah was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Iris to take off her coat for her to wear.

"Sister-in-law, I..." Hannah’s eyes darted around, unsure of what to say. Iris’s kindness made her feel guilty, "I didn’t mean it, sister-in-law, you aren’t mad at me, right?"

Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed directly on her face!

The crisp sound of the slap stunned Lachlan on the side.

Hannah’s face was turned from the impact, and she swallowed hard before turning her head incredulously to look at the woman who had slapped her, tears welling up in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, did you hit me?"

Iris’s hand was still in the posture of having delivered the slap, then she slowly retracted it, firmly gripping Hannah’s shoulder through the coat, and said deliberately, "I’m not angry, because your actions aren’t worth my anger. However, honestly speaking, Hannah, you’re really disgusting."

No one had ever spoken to Hannah so bluntly. It was as if she had been exposed, causing her to tremble all over. She subconsciously looked at Lachlan, "Brother, sister-in-law hit me..."

"Your sister-in-law has her reasons for hitting you."

Lachlan raised his hands to indicate his innocence, regardless of Hannah’s feelings, "Iris, does it hurt?"

Hannah had never been humiliated like this before. Holding her face, she stepped back, "Sister-in-law hit me, she... why would she do this, sister-in-law, what did I do to deserve this..."

"You don’t have to pretend you don’t understand here, Hannah. Stirring up trouble repeatedly won’t work; you don’t have the skills to seduce Lachlan, and it’s not enough to cause a rift between him and me."

Taking a step forward, her gaze sharp like a knife, Iris casually curled her lips, not caring at all about Hannah’s actions, "I’m just here to teach you a lesson in life. As a sister, you can’t shamelessly act like this in front of your brother. Are you attempting incest? Of course, I have to stop you. If one slap isn’t enough to wake you up, I won’t mind delivering a few more until you retract your filthy intentions!"

Hannah broke down and cried, "You misunderstand me, sister-in-law, you misunderstand me. You see others as you see yourself... I never had such intentions... Even if I’m not wearing clothes, I wouldn’t do anything with my brother, I don’t have such thoughts..."

"Oh."

From the side, Lachlan said, "Really? Then why don’t you just strip completely, since you’re not intentionally seducing me or letting the towel fall on purpose."

Hannah’s face turned pale. She had only thought of intentionally exposing herself to provoke Lachlan, never actually intending to be nude. She did have some dignity; how could she possibly—

Unexpectedly, Lachlan tugged at Hannah’s clothes, pulling off the coat Iris had draped over her, "I have no interest in your body at all, but if you really want to show me, then go ahead and strip completely."

To him, any woman other than Iris was no more substantial than a piece of paper.

However, in Hannah’s mind, a thought flashed—no, no! If she really stripped completely, wouldn’t she lose face entirely? And what’s more, it wasn’t a solo performance!

Hannah leaned against the wall, shaking her head, "No, brother, I..."

Iris stood still, allowing Hannah’s dignity to be swept away. Hannah had thought of using her body to entice Lachlan, but Lachlan was indifferent to whether she was dressed or not, even asking her to prove her innocence!
