Chapter 107

The Jimenez family agreed since the evidence could prove Stephanie’s innocence.

Aher all a girl’s reputation was important. Even if they believed Stephanie, that might not be the case for others,

With the evidence, everyone would be silenced.

Annabelle’s heart ached for Stephanie. “If you have any evidence, just show it. We’ll beat up the culprit.”

Stephanie turned to look at Vincent. He took out his phone, connected it to the computer in the banquet hall, and found the video Douglas had recorded.

After watching the first video, Florence h**d her arms around the boys shoulders and slandered Stephanie, Florence’s frivolous demeanor was also

clear to see.

Everyone was shocked. It turned out Florence was the one who contacted Stephanie to pick someone up. Florence was the one who started the rumor, the wild woman, and the one who had an abortion.

Florence did that because she was jealous of Stephanie’s talent and beauty.

Someone said, “You’re so evil at just fourteen years old. You’re born wicked!”

Another person said, “How can Florence be so shameless? She’s not as capable, so they wanted to destroy others. How unethical!”

Someone else said, “Florence is indeed unethical. She convinced Stephanie to voluntarily be her vocal double and s n a t c h d Stephanie’s fance.”

Another onlooker said, “They’re born from the same mother, but why are they so different?”

Another person said, “Florence is evil. She must’ve arranged for those men to slander Stephanie, right?”

Someone else replied, “That’s likely it. She’s corrupted, so she wants others to be like her, Indeed, someone who’s morally corrupt seeks to bring others down to their level.”

The second video Vincent showed was of Florence starting the fire.

Someone said, “Isn’t this intentional murder? It’s not enough to destroy others, but she even wanted to kill others!”

Another person said, “Florence is evil, utterly evil!”

Another person remarked, “It turns out Florence set the fire in the bar eight years ago. The evidence is conclusive now. She should end up in jail now, right?”

Someone replied, “That’s not sufficient! Some people were burned, and their burned skin even festered.”

Another person said, “The video seems to be true, but why is the truth being shown after eight years?”

Someone said, “Most importantly, who recorded them? Stephanie was wrongly accused for eight years.”novelbin

Another person agreed, “That’s right. That person was protecting Florence. They must be Florence’s loyal fans!” Someone else said, “This person is as bad as Florence! They knew the truth but didn’t reveal it!”

Chapter 107

Seeing that Vincent didn’t intend to release the third video, Stephanie descended the stairs and walked up to Vincent. She took the phone and played

the third video.

In the video, Vincent, in sportswear, rushed into the sea of fire to save the trapped Stephanie.

When the two were trapped, a beam fell and hit Vincent’s waist.

Everyone present was shocked. They thought, “So, this is the truth behind why Vincent is wheelchair-bound! Vincent and Stephanie were destined to be together from that moment. Fate is truly incredible!

Holding Vincent’s hand, Stephanie continued, “Then, we were separated by the falling wall. I didn’t know who you were and what you looked like. I only knew you showed up like an angel when I needed help the most. I cried, saying I hadn’t seen the sunrise or been in love, and I didn’t want to die. You smiled and said I wouldn’t die. After we were rescued separately, I never saw you again. Thank you, Vincent.

The dream flashed through Vincent’s mind. He experienced Stephanie’s death. He carried her to the seaside and sat for a whole night. After saying those words, he took his life with a gunshot.

Everything seemed to have happened.

Vincent clenched Stephanie’s hand and said, “I’m willing to do it, even if I have to sacrifice my life.”

Stephanie was moved because she knew he was serious.

Some said, “I just want to know who recorded this video. They recorded the whole thing, yet stood by and watched.”

Another person said, “I thought I heard laughter when the beam hit Mr. Fletcher’s waist.”

Someone else said, “Florence was the mastermind, while this person stood by and watched. They could’ve at least contacted the police, right?”

Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Stephanie said, “it was Douglas who recorded the video.”

A murmur rippled through the crowd afterward.

Douglas was only sixteen then. He recorded the video but didn’t save anyone, even letting out a sinister laugh. After Vincent was rescued, Douglas stopped recording. The crowd wondered how much Douglas must’ve despised Vincent for surviving

At the age of sixteen, one could already differentiate the good from the bad.

Douglas had addressed Vincent as Uncle Vincent, yet he was cold-hearted.

At that point, Stephanie’s eight-year slander had been cleared up. The rumor maker and arsonist had also been identified.

Florence was proven guilty and left with no escape.

Meanwhile, Florence was originally still feeling smug for being able to humiliate Stephanie during Annabelle’s birthday party.

When Florence saw the suggested news on her phone, seeing the videos recorded by Douglas in which she had schemed against Stephanie and plotted to set fire exposed, she was shocked to the point of speechlessness.

It turned out Douglas knew of her doings. She even acted innocent and claimed she had given him her virginity. She thought, “How would Douglas view

me?’

Florence thought she had Douglas under control. Unexpectedly, he had been watching her acting.

If it weren’t for Stephanie’s voice and rough sketch, Douglas wouldn’t even have spared Florence a glance.

Florence was a complete loser.

She thought. “Why did that d m n Douglas record the videos and keep them for so long? I’m doomed now that they’re exposed. I’ll be charged with stander and even murder. I need to hide. Otherwise, if captured, I’d be imprisoned

She asked the taxi driver to send her to a discount store where she bought T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers.

After changing, she went to the second-hand phone store to buy a phone and SIM card.

She threw her old phone into the sewer.

She hid in a motel and couldn’t contact her parents, figuring the police must be looking for her now

After some thought, Florence finally dialed Megan’s number.

The call connected after some time.

Florence said. “Megan, I’m Florence!”

Megan asked in an undertone, “Where are you now?”

Florence was vigilant. Fearing others might harm her, she lied, “I’m preparing to go abroad

Megan said, “I’ll transfer you some money. You’d better leave Jacaster as soon as possible and don’t contact Mom and Dad. Once you contact them, the police will follow the trail and find you. I won’t be able to save you then. I really didn’t expect you to be so u p d that you dared to tamper with Mrs. Jimenez’s birthday party. You almost drag me down with you!”

Florence said, “No one knows our relationship!”

Megan said, “Christina’s robot dog recorded our conversation in the back garden. You’re really bringing me trouble! Florence, don’t play tricks. If I’m discovered, our family will never have a chance to turn things around. Moreover, you’ll be in prison for the rest of your life. With Vincent’s means, it’s very possible for you to be sentenced to death. Remember, only by protecting me can you be saved!”

Florence gritted her teeth. Undeniably, what Megan said was reasonable.

aggrieved. “What about Stephanie’s heart? When can I undergo the heart transplant?”

However, she was appr

Megan sneered. “Have you lost your mind at this point? Don’t contact me recently, unless you’re tired of living. I’ll put 40,000 dollars cash under Sunshine Bridge tonight at ten.”

Stephanie asked, “40,000 dollars?”

With a murderous look in her eyes, Megan said, “Think that’s too little? That’s all the cash I have. Be frugal. Remember this. Don’t rat me out if you were caught. Otherwise, you can forget about taking revenge against Stephanie.”

Florence was dissatisfied with the amount of money that Megan was giving her. Florence thought, She’s treating me like I’m a beggar

However, Florence could only rely on Megan at that point.

Florence said, “I got it.”

Megan deleted the call log and exited the restroom.

Megan’s eyes darkened. Her top priority at that moment was to destroy the recording on Christina’s robot dog

Megan thought, “I didn’t expect Malcolm to fix it. If the recording is discovered, I’m done for

She had to figure out a way to delete the recording and make Stephanie disappear.
