Everyone else was engrossed in the drama, so I picked up a ss of wine. Yet, before it reached my lips, a slender hand intercepted it.
"Carl!"
patted my head affectionately. "Be good. Drink at home."
He handed me a ss of orange juice instead. "Drink this,"
I sighed. "Fine."
Then, he casually ced a handful of sunflower seeds in my palm. They were meant to serve as snacks for me while I watched the drama. I couldn''t help butugh at his gesture. This man truly understood me. While we enjoyed our tranquil moment, chaos unfolded on the other side-Ashley was delivering his iron-fisted justice.
I had noticed his unstable emotions long ago. In the past, he had managed to keep up appearances because of Sadie.
But now, upon discovering Anna''s actions, he didn''t care about the crowd. Two resounding psnded squarely on Anna''s face.
Ss instinctively stepped forward but quickly stopped himself. Doing so would confirm his involvement with Anna..
He clenched his jaw and endured, watching helplessly as the woman he cherished crumbled under Ashley''s fists.
The Sander family reacted first, Greg and Jake rushed to separate Ashley from Anna.
Kate wasn''t present today, so Josh pulled Anna away.
After all, with a billion-dor deal at stake, they couldn''t afford to risk the life of the child she was carrying.
"Ashley, calm down! It''s just a video. It could very well have been fabricated by someone with ulterior motives. Striking someone without proof? What kind of behavior is that?".
The Hudson family wasn''t entirely convinced either. If Anna had been unfaithful with someone handsome or influential, it might''ve been believable.
But the person Sadie pointed out? Other than being tall and muscr, he didn''t have a single redeeming quality.
Al-generated content was getting more sophisticated, and without catching her in the act, there was no

way to confirm if she had indeed had an albar.
Those ps left Anna with a bloody nose. Tears and bed areaked down her face, making her look unerly
She wiped the blood from her face and looked at Sadi Me Gardner, did you record this video
""Of course I did!"
Anna continued. "Then when and where did you record in
Sadie froze, clearly not expecting Ana to question her despite the apparent evidence.
Only I had anticipated Amma''s nature. That''s why I specifically noted the details when sending out the video.
Sadie quickly replied. "The night of December 28th, at Ashbourne Fun Fair."
Anna smirked. "Ms. Gardner, on the evening of December 28th, I was visiting my grandmother in the hospital with my family. The hospital''s surveince cameras can confirm this. How could I have been at the Fun Fair at the same time?" The Sander family promptly chimed in, "Yes, we can all vouch for her. That evening, we were at the hospital visiting my mother, Ms. Gardner, to fabricate such a ridiculous lie is trulyughable."
Sadie was clearly losing the fight. She was no match for Anna.
What an idiot-miterly useless.
I set down my orange juice and spoke casually. "That''s true. On the 28th, the Sander family had a car ident. Mr. Sander certainly wouldn''t forget about that. Sadie, don''t make baseless usations that could destroy Ms. Sander''s marriage My reminder jolted Sadie into action, "Right! But Anna wasn''t with the Sander family during the car ident. Can you really prove she was with you the whole time? Ashley, do you remember what time she came home that night?" Ashley had no idea. He''d been out fooling around, which was exactly why Anna dared to act so boldly.
Sadie stumbled deeper into Anna''s trap. As long as someone from Anna''s side stepped forward to testify for her, she could clear her name.
Carter spoke calmly, "It''s not hard to resolve. Whether it''s edited or genuipe, we can check the Fun Fair''s surveince footage.
"Yes, that''s the best approach. Mr. Carter, I''ll need to trouble you with this."
"It''s no trouble. Given the gravity of the situation, I wouldn''t want Ms. Sander''s reputation tarnished unjustly. Besides, it''s a simple matter."
As he finished speaking, Damian pretended to search for the footage.
I''d bet he had it ready long ago, just waiting for the perfect moment to unveil it.

Sure enough, Damian soon yed the footage.
Under the surveince cameras, the truth was crystal clear-Anna and Ss went to the Fun Fair together and eventually got into the same car to go home.
The crowd around them murmured, "Who would''ve guessed? That innocent-looking girl is such a good actress. I almost fell for her act."
"Right? She chose to ignore the Hudson family''s heir and instead hooked up with a servant. What''s she
even after?"
"If I were Mr. Hudson. I''d beat her to death for being such a shameless woman."
Rumors rained down on Anna like a storm of snowkes.
It reminded me of the scene at Luke''s wedding when he fled, leaving me to face the crowd''s judgmental
eyes.
Back then, some sympathized with me, some questioned if I had wronged Luke, and others spected that Luke simply didn''t want me.
Harsh words battered me from all directions, making if hard to breathe.
Now, the scrutiny was even more merciless, all directed at Anna.
Could she feel even a shred of the anguish I went through?
Ashley''s eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to confront Anna.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
But Sadie delivered another shocking revtion. "Ashley, I know you''re mad, but don''t lose it yet. might pass out when you hear the rest."
You

think this is some kind of joke?
Sadie spoke slowly and deliberately. "Her cheating is nothingpared to the truth about the baby. She lied to you all. The child in her stomach is three months along-and it''s not yours!"
