Chapter 749 Telling the Truth 2
Beth hung her head, already choked with sobs.
Then, tears of sorrow streamed down her face.
Grace immediately handed her a tissue.
"Thank you!"
Beth wiped her face and then looked up.
But as soon as she lowered her head, the tears came again.
She could only look up again.
After repeating this several times, she finally managed to calm herself down.
Taking a sip of water, she steadied her breath and began to speak."Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in; I was too emotional."
"Ever since I found out about Marlon's actions and his vile behavior, he hasn't restrained himself at all; instead, he has become even more brazen."
"He confiscated my phone, locked me in a room, wouldn't let me out, made me sleep on the floor, only gave me dry bread to eat, and just one cup of water a day."
"If I resisted even a little, he would beat me crazily, leaving me covered in bruises."
"One time, I tried to escape while he was out buying medicine, but he caught me. When he brought me back, he beat and humiliated me severely."
Beth raised her arm to show some of the bruises on her body.
"These are all from his beatings. Many have faded over time, but you can still see them."
At that point, she shakily raised her other hand.
The palm of that hand was wrapped in gauze.
She gritted her teeth and insisted on tearing off the gauze.
Then she showed everyone the raw wound.
"This is from when Marlon stabbed my palm with a pair of scissors. The pain was excruciating."
"If it weren't for these past few days in the hospital, my hand would be useless by now."
"Those miserable days were like a nightmare, tormenting me endlessly. After a few days, one day, he suddenly stopped beating me and instead treated me very well, very gently. He prepared a lavish meal for me, told me to put on makeup and wear beautiful clothes, and said that if I helped him deal with Grace, he would spare me."
"I knew he wouldn't; he was just lying to me. To escape, I obeyed him. But he gave me a glass of orange juice, and when I drank it, I felt something was off."
"But under his coercion, I had to finish it. I never imagined he would be so cruel as to harm me. Even now, it feels like a dream."
"A few minutes after drinking it, I passed out and fell into a deep sleep."
"Later, when I woke up, it was a day later. The doctor told me I had ingested a large amount of sleeping pills and almost died. It was only then that I realized he had ground a large amount of sleeping pills into the orange juice and added a lot of honey to cover it up."
"When I woke up, to prevent him from taking me back and continuing to abuse me, Grace protected me and temporarily hid my condition."
"So, I am very grateful to Grace. She made me see Marlon's true nature and helped me realize what kind of person I had married. It's all my fault for being blinded by love."
"I take full responsibility for everything I've said, and I will cooperate with the police to make a statement and provide all the evidence."
Beth let out a deep sigh.
At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
On the other side, Marlon, held back, had extinguished all illumination in his gaze and was on the verge of collapsing to the ground.
He stared blankly at Beth, but his eyes were filled with intense hatred.
Everyone in the live stream was sighing.
[Marlon is so ruthless; he could even harm his wife.]
[If Beth hadn't come forward to expose Marlon's evil deeds, no one would have ever imagined it.]
[But Marlon had already fallen from grace and married the beautiful Beth. He had money and lived a carefree life. Why would he do this?]
At that point, someone asked.
After seeing the comment, Beth immediately spoke up, "That's a good question."
"The reason is simple: he coveted Grace's beauty. Many years ago, he shamelessly pursued Grace but was rejected. He held a grudge ever since."
"Later, when Grace made a comeback, he seized the opportunity to harass and pester her in various ways, but he never succeeded. So he developed vile thoughts, wanting to use force, even wanting to strangle Grace."
"But at that time, his ex-girlfriend and his tax evasion were exposed. His career was ruined, and he faced huge compensation. So he directed all his anger and resentment towards Grace."
"He developed a crazy desire to take revenge on Grace. During a previous film shoot, I had some disagreements with Grace, and Marlon seized this opportunity. From the day he married me, he was plotting to bring Grace down."
"If I weren't standing here today, I would be dead, and he would definitely frame Grace, claiming that online harassment from her fans drove me to my death."
"This would ruin Grace's reputation and land her in jail."
"Even now, thinking about his schemes chills me to the bone."
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. The rest is up to the police. I believe the police will give me justice."
At that moment, the live stream was filled with people shouting Grace's name.
The screen was flooded with comments.
Everyone was typing in unison: [Grace, we're sorry. You are the best!]
One comment after another, very orderly.
Some fans were even sending gifts like crazy.
Everyone was calling for her.
Under everyone's urging, Beth stepped out of the live stream frame, and Grace reappeared.
"Thank you all for giving me a chance to prove my innocence, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules."
"I'm not a great person, but I'm willing to speak up for women. I hope that when women fall in love or get married, they carefully choose a partner who will truly be with them for life. Don't be blinded by sweet words."
"Of course, good love and marriage are very desirable. I hope everyone can have sweet love, without fear of marriage or childbirth."
"As for Marlon, I'll return his words to him: Please be patient. I believe the police won't let any criminal go."
"That's all for today's live stream. Thank you, everyone!"
At that moment, Marlon was kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.
He crawled forward, grabbing one of Beth's feet with one hand and one of Grace's feet with the other, begging frantically.
"My career is already ruined."
"I admit my thoughts were wrong, and it's all my fault, but I don't want to go to jail. Please, be merciful and forgive me, okay?"
