Evelyn’s POV
Liri Johnson grabbed her coffee cup off the table and threw it straight at , her face twisted with rage.
Leon moved fast to shield , but I pressed my hand against his shoulder, pushing him back as I kicked the table leg and shot my chair backward smoothly.
The coffee splashed all over the floor between us.
"Are you okay?" Leon asked quickly, checking over for any injuries.
I looked down, feeling weird at his concern. "I’m fine."
Leon whipped around to face Liri, his eyes darkening with serious fury. "Get security in here right now!" he shouted.
His assistant imdiately made the call, and seconds later, security guys rushed in, holding Liri down in her chair as she fought against them.
I stood up calmly and walked over to her, looking down at her shaking. "Pissed off, are you?"
"Getting called out makes you this mad?" I asked coolly. "Then how do you think all those people you’ve hurt over the years feel?"
The livestream was still rolling. Leon’s explanation had totally destroyed Liri’s "howrecker" BS about , but I could see so viewers weren’t ready to give a pass. Soone was trying to join our video call.
The tech guy glanced at like he was asking permission. I knew the IP address right away—it belonged to soone who had already accused of seducing her uncle. Obviously, Liri wasn’t the only one trying to trash my reputation.
I got serious. "Let them in."
As soon as the video connected, a young woman with a baby face appeared on screen, crying. "My aunt committed suicide!" she sobbed.
"You’re the howrecker!" she continued, pointing at . "You seduced my ex-uncle, caused my aunt to lose everything in the divorce, and he won’t even pay alimony for their two kids! All because of you, you bitch!"
The girl was totally losing it now, her voice cracking. "If you hadn’t gotten involved, my aunt would never have gotten so desperate! You drove her to suicide, you’re basically a murderer!"
The hospital in the background added drama to her accusations.
I watched the comnts go crazy against . Scrolling through the hate, I asked coldly, "Did you actually see seducing your uncle?"
"No, but my aunt’s PI caught you!" she snapped back, suddenly fired up.
She held up a photograph showing a man in his forties looking at lovingly as I sat on what appeared to be a hotel sofa.
"I don’t know this man," I stated calmly.
The girl’s face scrunched up with disbelief and contempt. "Sure you don’t. If you didn’t know my ex-uncle, why would he drive so far just to see you? He wouldn’t even visit his own children when they were sick in the hospital!"
"Other than this photo, do you have any other evidence?" I asked, totally unfazed.
"Isn’t this enough?" she freaked out. "You’re so shaless! The evidence is right there and you’re still lying!"
Her drama actually made smile.Was one photo really enough to judge soone? Is this what social dia had done to people?
"So if I appear in any photograph with a man, I must be seducing him?" I challenged.
"You... you’re just making excuses!" she stamred. "If you weren’t hooking up with him, why would the PI photograph you together?"
Her argunt was ridiculous, but she continued with tears in her eyes. "My aunt was so good to . She bought everything I needed since I was little. I’ve never known anyone kinder, and now this woman has driven her to suicide!"
Looking at her accusations and tears without flinching, I countered, "That photo shows with three other n and two won. Why aren’t you suspicious of them?"
"Because you look like that," she sneered, her eyes showing her jealousy of my appearance.
"What do you an by ’look like that’?" I asked. "What exactly makes different?"
I turned to address the viewers directly. "Is being attractive a cri? We get our looks from our parents. Should I deal with baseless accusations simply because of how I look?"
My words hit ho with many viewers who began sharing their own experiences.
[People always say my promotion was because I slept with the boss, even though I work harder and stay later than anyone in the office!]
[I have a curvy figure and sultry features, and my friends always think I’ll steal their boyfriends whenever they start dating soone new.]
I didn’t look at the comnts. Jackson had been finding the girl’s ex-uncle since her first comnt appeared.
Perfect timing, Jackson sent the information. The truth was totally different from what the girl had claid.
"Since you won’t believe anything I say," I said smoothly, "let’s get your forr uncle on the line."
Seconds later, we connected with the man himself.
The mont his well-dressed face appeared on screen, the girl went off again. "How dare you show your face! Do you know my aunt took her own life because of your cheating and betrayal?"
The man’s calm features remained steady as he replied, "I never cheated. Your aunt was the unfaithful one."
"You’re lying!" the girl shot back.
"I knew you wouldn’t believe , which is why I’ve got all the evidence," he explained tiredly. "I’ve wanted to clear this up for years, but your aunt begged to let her keep her reputation, so I’ve been taking the bla this whole ti."
When Jackson had reached out to him, he’d imdiately gathered his evidence. As he finished speaking, a link appeared in the chat.
The evidence was brutal—a tiline of her aunt’s hotel visits with incriminating photos and even censored videos that left no doubt about who had been unfaithful.
The girl went quiet, but she wasn’t giving up. Her eyes darted nervously before she found a new way to attack. "What about the kids?"
"Even if my aunt made a mistake, Emma and Jake are innocent! It’s been two years since the divorce, and you haven’t paid a penny in child support. They’re still in school!"
Her words set off the man’s hidden anger. He held up a docunt to the cara. "Because they’re not my children!"
"Neither one is mine!" he continued, his voice rising. "I raised them like they were my own for twelve years. Wasn’t being played for a fool for over a decade enough?"
His revelation shocked the livestream audience.
I felt like I was watching The Maury Show or Paternity Court unfold in real ti. Should I jump in and deliver the classic "You are NOT the father!" line for him?
