Chapter 326 Mysterious Ally
The sudden brightness in the banquet hall stunned everyone. All the large screens had lit up, capturing
everyone’s attention.
A familiar video played on the screens. It was footage of Ava’s birthday when Matthew had carried herout of the school gate to collect her gift. Then, Melanie arrived.
The people in the banquet hall were puzzled and started whispering, “What’s going on?”
Even I was surprised, wondering who had orchestrated it. It seemed I had an unexpected ally inattendance. I couldn’t help but glance at Johnson, who had come over with Matthew earlier. BesidesMatthew and Melanie, Johnson was likely the only one who knew the whole story.
As the video played for the second time, someone exclaimed, “Oh my, isn’t that Melanie? What’sshe-?!”
The person’s exclamation drew even more attention as everyone focused on the repeated violentscenes. Finally, someone made a bold guess, “Isn’t that Melanie? She’s pregnant yet causing troubleat a kindergarten. She even kicked someone when they got out of the car.”
“Look, did you see that? She couldn’t stand still. My gosh!”
“Thankfully, an ambulance came. Chloe didn’t move at all and even got hit by Melanie.”
The terrifying video sent shivers down everyone’s spine. People gasped and murmured in shock. Iturned away from the screens and looked at Stella and Liora, who watched the footage.
Melanie was no longer as composed. She pointed at the screens and shouted, “Who the hell did this?!”She turned to Matthew and said, “Didn’t you tell say-”
“Shut up!” Matthew snapped.
Johnson demanded, “I thought we deleted all the footage. Who did this?”
Matthew glared at me and growled, “Chloe…”
I shrugged and raised my hands, saying, “What? Feeling flustered when faced with the truth?”
Find out who did this!” Johnson continued to express his frustration. It seemed he had done everything
ensure he had left no traces of the footage. Otherwise, Matthew wouldn’t be so confused.
Mathew scolded him but didn’t move to turn off the screens.

Carol rolled her eyes disdainfully. “Why bother turning off the screens? Everyone has already seeneverything. Do you want to dig our eyes out? Matthew, did you think you could get away with it justbecause you paid someone to delete the footage?”
Melanie glared at Carol. “Shut up! Who do you think you are?”
“I’m no one special, but I like speaking my mind. If you did something, you have to own up to it. Even ifyou paid to delete the video, the heavens are still watching. Liars will always get their karma. Mrs.Grace, if you don’t understand what’s happening, come over here.”
Carol bent to pick up the chair Melanie had knocked over and placed it before one of the screens. “Sithere and observe before you start hurling accusations.”
The onlookers laughed, “This family is something else. They keep trying to slander Chloe in front ofeveryone. Is that fun for them? They’ve been through so much together, so why do this?”
“The Murphys are telling blatant lies. Don’t they fear karma? They even forced Ms. Chloe to cometoday. Matthew set up this whole thing to humiliate his ex–wife, right?”
Matthew was furious. “You’re spouting nonsense, Carol!”
“Are you still denying it?” Carol looked at him fearlessly. “Everyone, don’t jump to conclusions beforeseeing the truth next time. Be especially careful of the things said by those who lie. They pretend to letthings go when they’re at fault from the start.”
I kept my smile as I looked at Liora and Stella.novelbin
I’m impressed, Matthew. You’re so unlucky for constantly falling at your setups. Instead of having antaffair this time, you gathered a mob to slander Ms. Chloe at your party. Why are you ruining yourself?”“Oh my, why is it so lively here? The party hasn’t started yet, has it?”
