Chapter 141 The Incident from Four Years Ago Exposed
"Nora," Sophia said, listening to the crowd's gossip, feeling very worried.
Nora gave her a reassuring look.
Nora noticed that someone was already filming and then looked at Verna smirkingly. " What did you just say? I didn't catch that. Can you repeat it?"
Verna also wanted these people to help expose the situation, hoping that netizens would support her as the underdog and pressure Nora to return the money.
So, Verna cried even harder and began to embellish her previous words, "You have a wicked heart, colluding with Sophia to scheme against our whole family, taking our house, and cheating us out of all our money. Now you're even hitting us and threatening to kill our entire family! Please help us get justice! Sophia used to be my son's fiancée, but she betrayed him and got pregnant with another man's child. We even have videos of her cheating! My son broke up with her because she cheated, so she held a grudge, bringing her friend to scheme against us, taking all our family property. Now they're even attacking us! They are heartless and ruthless. Is there anyone who can help us?"
Verna's words successfully stirred up the crowd's anger.
The onlookers began pointing fingers at Nora.
Sophia looked anxious while Nora remained calm.
After Verna finished cursing, Nora looked at the person holding the phone and asked, "Do you get all that on camera?"
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I even start a livestream."
Nora said, "Good. Can you leave your contact information? I plan to sue them for defamation later. I might need you as witnesses. Of course, to prove she said those things, it won't be too much trouble."
The crowd exchanged glances.
Hearing this, Verna shouted even louder, "You hit me, and now you want to sue me, trying to smear me. Can anyone help me?"
Nora looked at Verna with a faintsmile. "I've been recording since you started cursing at me. Whether I hit you for no reason, or you attacked me first, I acted in self-defense. Now you're slandering me. It's all recorded. I will hand all this evidence over to the police and the judge. I don't mind if you say more. It will just add to the charges and make the judge sentence you more severely."
Verna's voice stopped abruptly.
She glared at Nora with eyes full of rage.
Verna originally thought she could use public pressure to deliberately distort the truth, ruin Nora's reputation, and force her to return their house and money.
But she didn't expect Nora to be so cunning, secretly recording everything!
Nora crossed her arms and looked down at them, saying, "If you still want to lie there, I'll have to call someone to help you move your stuff. But I'll only call the garbage collection service."
Cole and the others were furious, but with evidence in Nora's hands, they didn't dare to continue causing trouble.
They could only get up and continue moving their things.
After two hours, they finally moved everything out.
The onlookers also went back to their homes.
Nora took Sophia's hand and walked into the house.
Nora took out the property deed and handed it to Sophia. "Returning it to its rightful owner. Be more careful in the future, and don't naively believe men's lies. If you get deceived again, I might not be able to help you."
Sophia hugged Nora, tears streaming down like a river.
"Thank you, Nora. If it weren't for your help, I would never have been able to swallow this anger! Seeing them so embarrassed just now, I feel so relieved. It's all thanks to you," Sophia said.
Nora smiled and patted her back. "We're friends, right? Friends help each other. It's what we do." Sophia felt deeply moved.
Although Sophia had bad luck in love, she was fortunate to have good friends.
If she met a friend like Nora in this lifetime, even if she never found true love, she had no regrets.
"Stop crying for now. I'll contact someone to disinfect this place and change all the locks to prevent them from causing more trouble," Nora said. Sophia nodded, choking back her tears.
After handling things there, Nora and Sophia returned to the shop.
But as soon as they reached the entrance of the art studio, they saw that the iron gate had been splashed with paint and some suspicious-looking feces.
Nora and Sophia instantly turned grim.
"What's going on? Who would throw dirty stuff at our shop? We don't seem to have any enemies, right?" Sophia said angrily.
Suddenly, she thought of something and became even angrier. "Is it Cole? I'll call him and ask."
Sophia shakily took out her phone, but Nora stopped her.
"Don't act impulsively. Let's call the police first andinvestigate," Nora advised.
Nora was about to call the police when a group of strangers rushed out, throwing things at them.
"It is so vicious and disgusting to cheat and get pregnant with another man's child and then scheme with a friend to drain the ex-boyfriend's family!" one said.
"You have no humanity at all. How dare you live?" another continued.
"Return the house and money that don't belong to you. Don't you feel guilty taking them by force?"
"You disgrace women. If I were you, I'd die."
Nora turned as dark as the blackboard.
From their words, Nora could already tell that their troublemaking was definitely related to Cole!
Seeing the crowd getting more aggressive, with some even trying to get physical, a group of bodyguards suddenly rushed over, pushing the troublemakers aside.
Then, a familiar car pulled up in front of them.
The window rolled down, revealing Isaac's handsome face.
"Get in the car," Isaac said. Nora looked at the troublemakers, didn't hesitate much, and pulled Sophia into the car.
As the car started, the troublemaking crowd grew more distant.
"How do you arrive so timely? Do you know in advance that someone will come here to cause trouble?" Nora asked Isaac, who was driving, curiously.
Isaac said, "Check online."
Nora and Sophia exchanged glances.
Then, they each took out their phones and checked online.
Soon, they figured out what had happened. The video of Sophia 'cheating' had been posted online.
Then, Cole, the person involved, came forward to accuse Sophia of cheating and betraying him. Additionally, there was another piece of news related to Nora.
The post claimed that Nora and Sophia were the same type of people, both liking to cheat with other men. Nora had betrayed her boyfriend four years ago. There was a photo in the post showing her and Mortimer from four years ago.
