Chapter 484: 482 Grand Drama (1) Slap and Scold, Never Innocent
Zoe Payne was astonished by William Hale’s words, but didn’t have ti to think about it because at this mont on the stage, an employee of Jade Essence was introducing a necklace called “Devotion”.
“This necklace was designed especially for Mrs. Gonzalez by the designer.”
“May their love, like the diamonds on this necklace, withstand the test of ti, remain sparkling and beautiful, and last a lifeti.”
…
As they spoke, Jovan Gonzalez had already taken the necklace and put it on Iva Payne.
Iva Payne used to look down on Jovan Gonzalez, as a live-in son-in-law, he was inevitably underestimated.
She thought he was weak and incompetent, and even backstabbed her at the previous family recognition banquet, but over ti, she had co to see him as her only support.
She looked down at the necklace, her eyes glistening with a hint of redness.
The crowd below sighed and comnted, with mixed opinions.
So said they were truly in love;
Of course, so mocked them for putting on a show;
Most just watched indifferently, except Michale Shaw who moved slightly to the side, he was just curious whether the handso Young Master Carter beside him would really invest in Jade Essence, and the result…
He had just moved half an inch when he recoiled as if bitten by a snake, imdiately moving an inch away.
One step forward, one step back.
Michale Shaw was dumbfounded:
Was this necessary?
Did he despise himself so much?
He even said quietly, “Young Master Shaw, respect yourself.”
Michale Shaw looked up at the sky speechlessly, I didn’t do anything, what should I respect?
At this ti, the host was marveling at the good relationship between Jovan Gonzalez and Iva Payne, smiling and said, “Mrs. Gonzalez, I see your eyes are red, I’m sure you have many things to say in your heart. You and Mr. Gonzalez are so loving, do you have any secrets to share with us?”
Iva Payne took a breath, adjusted her breathing, and before she could take the microphone, soone from the audience said:
“Secrets?”
“That must be shalessness.”
Everyone looked towards the voice, and the speaker turned out to be Julia Yates!
Wyatt Hale was playing a ga with his head down. Hearing this, he was stunned.
Wasn’t this going to stir up trouble?
He ca today purely out of boredom.
“Sister-in-law?” Iva Payne frowned, “What are you talking about?”
“Designing a plan to kill back then, but implicating my innocent daughter, causing us to be separated for over twenty years, have you forgotten?” Julia Yates left her seat and slowly walked towards the stage.
“Because of the long distance and the ti it took to handle the case, you escaped the charges. A person with blood on their hands is now here flaunting their love, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
“No matter what, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a murderer!”
The Payne Family are dignified people, rarely initiating conflicts.
Julia Yates’ words and actions today were understandable:
A criminal who almost killed her daughter, brazenly parading around;
Her son’s life or death was uncertain;
The billion-dollar funds were about to be handed over to others;
All these reasons made it hard for her not to be furious.
Moreover, since her daughter “died,” Iva Payne’s health had been poor, and she even seed to have attempted suicide, indicating her ntal state was not good. Now her son was in trouble, which must have caused her great impact.
“Sister-in-law, let’s talk in private.”
Iva Payne didn’t expect Julia Yates to reveal her past misdeeds in public, and imdiately after that, Julia Yates threw out an astonishing statent:
“Iva Payne, was Tim’s car accident your doing?”
The words shocked everyone.
The two sisters-in-law had been at odds for many years, and even though Iva Payne hid it well, Julia Yates still caught a trace of surprise and panic in her eyes.
“Sister-in-law, the police have already investigated, the driver responsible was Miss Jones’ stepmother, Tim was innocently implicated, I don’t even know that person, what does it have to do with !”
“You don’t really know her?” Julia Yates pressed on.
“She had previously ordered jewelry from Payne Corps, maybe we t, but we’re not familiar.”
“I know Tim hasn’t woken up yet, you feel terrible, and you’re even angry at Miss Jones, thinking she caused Tim’s accident, and now you want to vent your anger on …”
“If it makes you feel better, I’m willing to take the bla.”
Iva Payne was not just anyone.
With just a few words, she not only portrayed herself as innocent and pitiful but also pointed out Julia Yates’ attitude towards Cressida Jones, making everyone think Julia Yates was overly stressed because of her son’s accident.
“You really know how to play the victim.” Julia Yates sneered.
“If the police can catch the person, I can confront her face to face, this matter has nothing to do with .” Iva Payne said confidently.
Julia Yates laughed out loud, “You should know very well, she would never confront you, after all…”
“She might already be dead!”
These words shocked everyone even more.
“A car accident, falling into the water, with clothes and bloodstains confirming identity, but the person hasn’t been found, does this feel familiar to you?” Julia Yates laughed coldly, “Twenty years ago, this is how you took my daughter away, now you want to harm my son too…”
“Iva Payne, no matter what, he is your biological nephew, how could you do this!”
As she spoke, she stepped forward.
“Slap—” with a crisp slap, the audience was shocked and took a deep breath.
Iva Payne, sitting in a wheelchair, had nowhere to retreat, nowhere to hide, bright red marks instantly appeared on her face, her head tilted to the side from the impact.
The corner of her mouth split open instantly, with beads of blood seeping out.
When she wanted to fight back, Jovan Gonzalez stopped her, “Sister-in-law, calm down!”
“Let go!”
“Iva’s health is already like this, she has been reflecting on her past mistakes recently, Tim’s issue has nothing to do with her, let’s wait for the police investigation results.”
Jovan Gonzalez tried to calm her down, “Don’t worry, if this matter really has anything to do with her, I’ll make sure you get an explanation.”
“You’ll give an explanation?” Julia Yates looked at him, “Are you sure?”
“Don’t worry, I would never cover for her.”
“These are your words.”
“Hiring a thug to kill, or being an inford participant, these are all cris, no matter how much I care for her, I wouldn’t do sothing illegal.”
After Jovan Gonzalez finished, he glanced at Mario Payne sitting in the audience, “Brother, why don’t you help sister-in-law down to rest? I…”
At this ti, it was Jade Essence’s exclusive exhibition ti.
Involving billions of financing, he naturally took it seriously.
Instinctively, he looked at Young Master Carter sitting in the audience, who seed to be scrutinizing him, his gaze indifferent yet full of interest.
Jovan Gonzalez wanted to press down the matter, looking troubled.
The crowd sighed, it was indeed not easy for Mr. Gonzalez stuck in the middle.
Mario Payne, as he said, went on stage, Iva Payne looked at her brother, and said, “Brother, Tim’s matter really has nothing to do with , you should talk to sister-in-law.”
Mario Payne only held his wife’s hand, but contrary to what Jovan Gonzalez wished, he didn’t take her off the stage, instead he said:
“Whether it’s related, let’s watch a video first.”
Imdiately after, the screen originally playing jewelry images went black…
A few seconds later, the cara shook, and dialogue was heard.
“…Once it’s done, I will arrange for your daughter to go abroad for the best treatnt, change her appearance, na, and let her start a new life.”
Everyone recognized this voice, it was Iva Payne’s!
