Ilsa could not say a word despite Frank''s gleeful reaction and bit her lip as she red at her daughter Ashley, who was still left on the floor. She was utterly humiliated now and had no way to argue her case.


    "W-What''s going on here?"


    Ashley was bewildered seeing the awkward look on her mother''s face, even though she could not quite understand what was happening. "Hehe..."


    Gina strode over just then, patting Ashely''s head before sneering at Ilsa. "The apple doesn''t fall far from the tree! Dear girl, so you''re the one who sold that knockoff suit to my son-inw, and now your mother''s being exposed!"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Tut, tut... and your mother was even using that to mock us, calling my son-inw a fraud who could only afford a cheap knock-off suit. Oh! You and your mother are just so amusing."


    At that point, even Ashley understood in the end, Frank never realized that the suit was a knock-off until Ashley''s own mother made a show of it.


    A million dors was lost just like that!


    Though troubled, Ashley was certainly ready to me her mother but could not say it out loud as so many watched.


    All she could do was quietly bite the bullet, closing her eyes in pain.


    Ilsa certainly shared her pain-she had just wanted to mock Frank for being too poor to afford an expensive suit, but it turned out that it was her own daughter who pulled the con. Talk about shooting herself in the foot! Not only did she fail to get anything out of this, but she was now the subject of scorn.


    As she looked around, she saw many of the wedding guests pointing at them andughing.


    It was clear that her reputation was in tatters now.


    However, even as she started to despair, her son Theo strode out.


    "Lies!" he eximed, pointing and snapping at Frank. "I have no idea what''s the connection between you and Trevor International, but you must answer for your crimes! Not only did you kidnap my sister from Zamri, but you''re coercing her into lying for you!"


    With a single outburst, he switched defense to attack as he used Frank of staging the kidnapping and forcing his sister into testifying against her own family. Talk about devious!


    "What?!"


    Theo''s barefaced lie left Frank


    stunned, and he raised a brow as he said quietly, "You''re supposed to be a professor with two doctorates. Do I need to go through such lengths to insult you? Why don''t you use your brains for once?"


    "Hah! No, you wouldn''t!"


    Ilsa came to her senses as well and quickly built on his son''s


    usations by pointing at Gina. "It was definitely your despicable mother-inw! It has to be her! Your entire family is a bunch of devious snakes!"


    "What?! I''m despicable?!" Gina was left bristling. "Look who''s talking, Ilsa!"


    However, Frank had a foreboding feeling as he looked around.


    The crowd was staring at him and Gina suspiciously, as they were opinionated against him for killing Jackie Xinder.


    And with Theo misleading them, they were now ming him for everything.


    Hence, he quickly picked up Ashley and asked as everyone watched, "Have I ever coerced you?"


    "I... I..." Ashley was at a loss for words.
