Chapter 270 Video and Recording
In the parking lot outside the Ashford family mansion, there was a white RV parked.
Lily's father, Davis, lay motionless on the bed inside the vehicle.
The caregiver who was playing a mobile game on the side quickly stood up when she saw Lily coming and said, "Miss Lily, ah... Mr. Davis is sleeping, so I was just playing with my phone..."
"Mhm." Lily was easy-going and didn't bother with the caregiver.
"Ivy, can my father be saved in this condition? He has been paralyzed for twenty years..."
"Twenty years?" Ivy found it somewhat unbelievable.
Annabel also fell off a cliff twenty years ago, and her husband, son, and daughter-in-law died in a car accident. It was also twenty years ago.
Was it a disaster year twenty years ago?
Could all of this be a coincidence?
"Yes, twenty years." Lily couldn't help but feel like crying when she mentioned this.
"Don't worry, I can save him!" Ivy reassured Lily and transferred energy from the Magic Pearl to her palm, giving Davis a complete treatment from head to toe.
In Lily's eyes, Ivy was using qigong, but only Ivy herself knew that it was all thanks to the Magic Pearl.
Within two minutes, Davis opened his eyes.
"Dad, you woke up!" Lily was extremely excited. "Ivy, you really cured my father. You truly are a great doctor!"
Ivy smiled faintly. "No need to praise me. Go and have a good talk with your father. He has been unconscious for twenty years and doesn't understand many things. Take your time and chat, I need to get back to the mansion."
"Wait, Ivy!" Lily quickly called out to Ivy and opened her phone. "I want to show you a video."
Curiously, Ivy looked at it.
In the video, it showed Alexander and Emily's recent misunderstanding.
Dylan questioned Emily, "If he merely slapped you, why are your lips bleeding? Why are there red marks on your neck? Why is your hair in disarray? Why are your buttons undone?"
With a straight face, Emily replied, "It's windy outside. When the wind blows, of course my hair will be messy! He slapped me, and I got angry. Is it a problem if I bite my own lip? This blouse is too tight. Can I not unbutton one in an effort to cool down a little? Is it such a big deal to have red marks? There are bugs everywhere in the garden. Can I not get bitten by bugs?"
Alexander in the video discovered that the red marks on Emily's neck could be wiped off and immediately grabbed her hand. "You actually used lipstick on your neck! Emily, what is the purpose of doing this? What kind of deception are you trying to create?"
Angry, Dylan slapped Emily. "Emily, don't you have any self-respect? How could you do something like this! Do you know that by doing this, everyone will think that you and Alexander have a relationship!"
"So what if they think that? If it will force him to marry me, any sacrifice and effort are worth it!"
After seeing such a video, Ivy finally believed Alex...
"What Ander said is true, he was indeed framed by Emily!
"Thank you, Lily," Ivy expressed her gratitude.
"Don't thank me! I just happened to capture this and also have a recording, which should be useful for you."
Lily pulled Ivy to the side and opened a recording on her phone.
This recording was a conversation between Fiona and Hailey.
Hailey: Mom, don't mention Leo anymore. Leo is just foolish. Besides, isn't it you who spoiled him? As for Alexander, he was never your real grandson. Did you really expect him to help you?
Fiona: Don't remind me about it! It just makes me furious! I should have completely eradicated all of Annabel’s descendent right off the bat. Now, look at what has happened. Leaving behind such a disaster I have essentially gone and shot myself right in the foot!
Hailey: Mom, don't think like that. Alexander has played a significant role for us. If it weren't for his handling, the Ashford family wouldn't have soared to these heights...
Moreover, so many years have passed since the incident. The car accident back then cannot be proven. In everyone's eyes, it was simply an accident.
Just as long as you continuously and firmly assert that you are Annabel, what can others do to an old lady like you? At the end of the day, Annabel fell off that cliff and died, and you are her twin. No matter how much others investigate, they won't find any loopholes...
Upon hearing this recording, Ivy was both shocked and delighted.
"Lily, how did you get this recording? When was it recorded?"
Lily responded, "I majored in security and have studied surveillance systems and access control systems. I even made a few bugs myself and placed them on my grandfather and both my sisters.
I didn't intend to eavesdrop on them, but I was worried about their personal safety.
Twenty years ago, when the three of us sisters had just learned to walk, our father, mother, and grandmother were involved in a tragic car accident. Our mother and grandmother died on the spot, and our father has been paralyzed ever since.
Grandfather tried every avenue at investigating the accident, but he couldn't find any relevant or important information. It was fruitless. When we grew up and understood the situation, we made a vow to do everything we can to find the truth.
When time drew near to choose a major, my eldest sister chose to become a police officer, my second sister chose to become a lawyer, and I chose security.
On the day you all left after appraising the clamshell, my grandfather went back to negotiate the marriage proposal with Mrs. Ashford. That's when my bug recorded their conversation."
"Wow Lily, you're amazing! This recording is so crucial to me, could you send it to me?" Ivy couldn't wait.
"Yes, but make sure grandfather doesn't find out that I gave it to you, or he'll know that I bugged him."
"Understood, understood." Ivy nodded repeatedly.
After Lily sent the recording to Ivy, Ivy saved it on her phone and deleted their conversation. "Is this good? Let me get back to the mansion now." Ivy happily returned to the hall.
