Ella Morgan opened her phone, "This is the video you didn’t let finish the last ti."
She handed the phone to Damien Lancaster, letting him see it for himself.
Letting him see for himself just how malicious the seemingly perfect Rachel Shaw really was.
Rachel anxiously tried to step forward to stop him, but it was too late; the phone was already in Damien’s hands.
The little color that had returned to her face now drained away, leaving her pale again.
The first fra Damien saw in the video was Rachel holding a knife towards Sophie, the blade hovering dangerously near her face, full of threat.
Damien frowned, his eyes gradually becoming deep and cold.
Ella explained, "Miss Shaw, bearing a grudge because we sent her to the police, ca to take revenge as soon as she was released. Had Miss Sumrs not been there that day, I can’t imagine what would have happened to my daughter."
"No... it’s not like that..." Rachel’s lips trembled as she tried to step forward, "Damien, don’t believe them, these are all fake, none of it’s real, the video is deliberately staged and edited by them..."
As her voice fell, a piercing sound emanated from the phone, so sharp that she couldn’t bear to listen to it herself.
’Try stepping forward and see, believe it or not, I’ll stab her face with the knife right now.’
Suddenly, Rachel’s face turned as white as a sheet, and the room fell silent, everyone listening to the conversation in the video.
The video indeed was edited, but only the part where Rachel ntioned Sophie being Ivy Sumrs’ daughter was cut out.
After watching the video, the air around Damien turned icy cold; the chill filled the whole room. He seed shocked, unable to believe that the woman in the video was the sa one standing before him.
Rachel could no longer remain calm, disregarding her leg injury, she got out of bed and threw herself at Damien, clutching his clothes tightly, tears streaming down imdiately, "It’s not, Damien, it’s not ..."
"Not you what?"
After a long while, Damien only stared at her, questioning her.
Not her? Not her what?
Did she want to say that the woman with a malicious expression in the video, attempting to harm a child, wasn’t her?
Facing the questioning, Rachel trembled all over, shaking her head vigorously, tears drawing a clear arc in the air.
"Damien, there must be so misunderstanding, they must have wronged Rachel," Phillip Shaw spoke up in defense of his daughter.
Damien directly tossed the phone to him, letting him see for himself.
Phillip Shaw and Penelope Page’s faces froze as they watched the video, opening their mouths but unable to speak.
Rachel still clung to Damien, claiming to be wronged.
Damien looked down at her, his voice ice-cold, "Rachel Shaw, this is the real you, isn’t it?"
Rachel kept shaking her head, "Damien, I... I was just too angry, it clearly wasn’t who hard Sophie, but they sent to the police, I was too angry, and in a mont of confusion, did sothing impulsive, but I never truly intended to harm that child, I..."
Listening to her explanation, Damien’s face beca even colder, "So accusing Ivy Sumrs in front of was also an impulsive act?"
"I... I... she was the one holding a knife to , wasn’t she trying to harm , how can you say I was accusing her..."
Rachel’s tears flowed fiercely, crying pitifully, hoping for Damien’s sympathy.
But all she got was Damien’s eerie response, "You should be glad she was the one to see it, if it were , you wouldn’t be feeling so comfortable."
Hearing this, Rachel couldn’t even cry, as her hands slowly let go of Damien’s clothes, collapsing weakly to the ground.
Ivy Sumrs saw her on the verge of a breakdown and walked over, "Rachel Shaw, it’s not over yet, you better hold on."
Rachel raised her head to look at Ivy Sumrs, those eyes filled with resentnt, as if she hated them for exposing her.
In Rachel’s eyes, only she was allowed to harm them endlessly.
If they retaliated, it was their fault.
"Damien, I know nothing I say now will make you believe , but Ivy Sumrs and that man broke into my house and strung us up and beat us; this you know clearly as well."
"Your Shaw Family brought people to vandalize first, Rachel Shaw, do you really think I know nothing?"
Rachel was stunned.
Zachary Lancaster lowered his head, looking at Rachel, "Who would’ve thought, beneath that innocent facade, hides such a dark heart."
Rachel’s face visibly paled, her lips trembling, anxious to find sothing Ivy couldn’t provide evidence for, sothing that would imdiately convict her.
Gritting her teeth, Rachel said, "I have a dark heart? Then what about Ivy Sumrs? Damien, you saw with your own eyes her pushing off the Ferris wheel."
"Rachel Shaw, even now you wish to slander ?"
Ivy Sumrs, who had been silent, finally spoke up.
Rachel suddenly lifted her head, aggrieved, saying, "Ivy Sumrs, I know that now Damien won’t believe anything I say because I can’t manipulate like you, but pushing off the Ferris wheel to kill is undeniable."
"Are you so sure?"
Rachel lifted her chin.
Of course, she was certain.
After all, the phone was with her, Ivy had no evidence, and she was the injured one, couldn’t she say whatever she wanted?
"I’m certain."
Ivy Sumrs chuckled softly, nodding, "So you think I have no evidence and that’s why you dare to say this."
Rachel looked confidently at Ivy Sumrs.
Ivy Sumrs, "What a pity."
Rachel narrowed her eyes.
Ivy Sumrs took out her phone, "Too bad you’re destined for disappointnt today, Rachel Shaw, I warned you to think carefully before lying, didn’t I?"
Seeing Ivy Sumrs take out her phone, Rachel’s heart skipped a beat.
No, this isn’t right.
Why was she taking out her phone now?
She didn’t have evidence, what was she going to do with her phone?
Rachel quickly looked back at her father, rembering the phone he brought back, a terrifying possibility arose in her mind.
That phone he brought back might not have been Ivy Sumrs’.
Perhaps Ivy Sumrs had retrieved her own phone long ago.
Thinking of this, Rachel’s heart pounded out of her chest.
With Damien, who had helped her punish Ivy earlier, and the people Gregory Lancaster sent to help her present, if they found out all this was her lie...
It would not only slap her face but also theirs.
And she might lose their trust forever...
"No... no..."
