Hearing his words, my parents knelt in front of him. I was startled.
“We will make her pay the money back and tell the truth. Mr. Perez, can you please be lenient? My daughter still has to live. She was just momentarily impulsive and is not a bad kid.”
red.
Seeing my parents‘ humiliating posture in front of Bryan, my eyes turned
I couldn’t help but want to speak the truth. The police spoke at this
moment.
“Besides the assets, we also found other things about Jane. She had multiple hotel check–in records. We checked the surveillance. The ones entering the room were Zoey and Derron.”
Hearing the police mention her, Zoey panicked instantly.
“She set me up. At first, she said she was unhappy with her job and asked me to chat with her at night. But it turned out to be another man when I entered the room.
“The first time, I didn’t have time to call the police, but they recorded me. Then, they used the video to threaten me. If I didn’t go, they would post the video online. I feared making Bryan angry and tarnishing the company’s image, so I had no choice.”
Hearing this, Bryan frowned in distress.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve managed the company for so long. How could I not handle this problem?”
With that, Zoey cried and burrowed into Bryan’s arms.
I said coldly, “Really? Then where is the video you mentioned? Why haven’t I seen it?”
Derron spoke at this moment, “I thought your behavior was inappropriate, so I stole your phone and deleted it.”
I frowned tightly and stared at his face.
“You two really have a great relationship.”
Then I unlocked my phone and handed it to Bryan.
The screen was full of Zoey’s chat records asking me to cover for her.
Zoey clearly saw the content from her angle.

Bryan immediately pulled her out of his arms. His face showed anger, veins bulging.
“What the hell is going on? You think you can make a fool out of me?”
He grabbed Zoey’s hair, forcing her head back.
She hurriedly explained, “Jane used my phone to send those messages. I had no idea.”
Hearing this, I sneered.
In my previous life, their plan succeeded smoothly. They had enough time to destroy all evidence.
This time, they were caught off guard and couldn’t destroy the evidence in time.
So I suggested talking to Bryan alone.
He looked suspicious but still accepted my request.
We went into the adjacent interrogation room together.
Seeing his impatient look, I said calmly, “I suggest you check our village. There should be a lot of things about your wife.”
Bryan squinted dangerously after hearing this.
“Didn’t her family go bankrupt? What village?”
I couldn’t help but mock, “You don’t even know her family situation, yet you trust her unconditionally? How can a dignified CEO be so stupid?”
Before his anger exploded, I spoke, “We all came from the same village. The so–called bankrupt heiress was just a lie to get close to you. And you believed it?”
After my words, Bryan’s eyes flickered.
His hostility was gradually replaced by suspicion.
I knew he was recalling the details of his interactions with Zoey.
The truth cannot be faked, and lies cannot become the truth.
Even if she acted well, her perspective and knowledge couldn’t deceive him.
