Chapter 238: Why are you so rattled, Lindy? If the video can be recovered, itll clear Ms.
Clarkes name, wont it? Rexs secretary stirred the pot.
Lindy swallowed her anger and snapped back, The Stevens family business is none of your concern! The tension between them was palpable, their tempers about to boil over, and Keanus fury finally erupted.
Enough! Both of you, stop this nonsense! We need answers today.
Once the video is restored, the truth will cto light! Lindy could barely stand straight.
Keanu... She silently prayed that her face wouldnt be recognizable in the footage.
Not long after, Sherman returned to headquarters with the evidence in hand.
The tech team worked swiftly, restoring the original footage and sending it straight to Kellan.
The video is here, Kellan announced.
Knowing Allison wished to spare the elder the ordeal, Kellan offered a lifeline.
Although the womans face is too blurry to identify, its clear from her height and build that she isnt Ms.
Clarke.
Allison frowned slightly, her intuition confirmed.
Lindy was careful, far too meticulous to slip up so easily.
Yet, in a way, this was a blessing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old man wouldnt be blindsided by the full truth today.
Turning to Colton, Allisons voice took on an edge.
Mr.
Stevens, Im really curious who sent you this chopped-up footage.
And how could you be so dimwitted as to fall for it? How dare you! Colton was left utterly speechless.
The newly restored video revealed the womanmasked and hidden behind sunglassesengaged in a private moment with Deandre.
Her face was shielded, but her stature didnt match Allisons.
But the video had indeed been sent to Colton by Melany.
Pale as a ghost, Melany stammered, Colton, I dont know whats happened.
The video was from Deandre himself.
I didnt realize it had been tampered with... Shock overwhelmed her.
The evidence shed painstakingly gathered was fake, and the womans face remained unrecognizable! Relief flooded Lindy as she watched the screen.
Her eyes drifted to Melany with a sneer.
You foolish girl! Throwing accusations at Allison without a shred of proofare you begging for trouble? Lindys demeanor toward Melany soured.
She regretted ever allowing Colton to divorce Allison.
At least Allison had always been reliable, putting the familys needs first.
Melany, by contrast, seemed to stir up chaos at every turn.
Determined, Lindy stepped forward and reached for Allisons hand.
Allison, we were wrong about all this.
Coltons just... been misled.
Hes got a good heart, just immature.
Deep down, he still cares for you... Kellans chuckle echoed through the room.
So, Mr.
Stevens, who almost tore Ms.
Clarkes reputation to shreds, is merely a boy with a temper? How utterly enviable! Lindy bristled, embarrassed by Kellans remark.
Allison, not missing a beat, took a subtle step back, positioning herself shoulder-to-shoulder with Kellan.
I appreciate the apology, Lindy, but were divorced.
Lets not confuse things.
As for the slander, I suggest you make tto clear it up at the press conference tomorrow.
If not, well... should a lawyers letter or this video hit the public eye, things will only get worse.
Allison had initially feared that the footage might expose Lindys involvement, knowing the truth would devastate the elder.
But Lindy had skillfully masked her tracks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis debacle? It was the handiwork of Melany and Colton, clear as day.
Seeing Allison align with Kellan made Coltons face darken, his anger rising.
Even if you werent involved with Deandre, Allison, I wont believe youre innocent.
Ill uncover the identity of that woman and figure out how shes connected to you! Lindy was nearly driven to madness by her sons stubbornness.
Just as Lindy was about to scold him had been again, Rexs secretary, who had been closely analyzing the video, suddenly pointed to the car seat in the lower left corner. Pause it at 15 seconds, she directed.
When the door opens, you can see a bracelet on the seat.
It looks awfully familiar... much like the one Mrs.
Stevens is wearing right now.
The secretary wasnt about to be pushed aside easily.
With a knowing look, she glanced at Rex.
Mr.
Stevens, if I remember correctly, that agate bracelet was a wedding gift from you to Mrs.
Stevens.
Unique, one-of-a-kind.
She zoomed in on the paused frame.
Sure enough, the agate bracelet gleamed in the video, identical to the one girding Lindys wrist. Colton blinked, stunned.
This... this cant be.
Its impossible! .
