Chapter 569 Eva Punished
The recording was definitely made before the guy walked into the lounge.
Everyone's voices were crystal clear, making it impossible to argue otherwise.
Eva looked at Smith in disbelief and asked, "Did you plant a bug on me?"
Smith's smile was a bit sinister. "When I saw that fake Edgar show up, I knew something was up. So, I secretly put a listening device on you.
Sure enough, I heard this juicy conversation. Eva, you really don't know when to quit."
Eva was stunned. When did Smith put a bug on her, and why didn't she feel anything?
She immediately started searching herself and finally found a tiny listening device behind her earring.
She remembered feeling a cold sensation behind her ear when everyone was cheering for the fake Edgar.
But at that time, all her attention was on Bianca, watching her facial expressions.
She hadn't expected Smith to suspect her then.
But she had said a lot of things, mostly about suspecting Edgar and Bianca of having an affair, which weren't in the recording.
Clearly, Smith had edited the recording.
Why would he edit it? If Edgar and Bianca really had nothing going on, why would Smith do this?
And even Bianca hadn't noticed that Edgar was fake, so why was Smith so sure he was?
Eva's face showed a cold smile and she asked, "Who's the one who doesn't know when to quit, me or you? How did you know that Edgar was fake when he looks and sounds so much like him?"
Smith replied, "Because Edgar announced he was leaving the entertainment industry. He wouldn't appear anywhere as a celebrity."
Eva asked, "Why do you know him so well?"
"Because I'm his fan. Is that not allowed?"
"You're lying. I investigated. You looked for him a few months ago and came back heavily injured. Shortly after, you married Bianca. So, I suspect you're not Smith. Smith is allergic to lilies, and I've sent Bianca lilies many times, yet you haven't shown any allergic reactions. Who are you really?"
Everyone present was stunned.
They stared at Smith, trying to find answers behind his golden mask.
But Smith, as the youngest and most favored son of the William Family, and Caspian's chosen heir, had been secretly raised to avoid family conflicts.
Few had seen his true face.
Eva had only seen him a few times because of a proposed marriage alliance.
Bianca also turned her gaze to Smith upon hearing this.
Smith remained calm, his deep eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness.
He looked coldly at Eva, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I didn't have an allergic reaction because I have this."
He took a box of anti-allergy medication from his pocket and tossed it to Eva.
Seeing the label, Eva looked at him in disbelief. "So you took this anti-allergy medication in advance?"
Smith sneered, "You were confined by the Queen. It's impossible for you to come out and immediately start currying favor with her. Something was off. I deliberately walked into your trap to see what you were up to. So when I saw the fake Edgar appear, I planted the listening device on you. Once I knew your plan, I cut off the signal in the lounge. That's why the guests didn't see what just happened. Eva, you resent the Queen and want to take revenge, but you don't have the power to touch her. So you tried to frame her. You really have guts."
Smith continued, "Take her away. According to palace rules, for defying the Queen and attempting to slander her, she will be punished with a hundred lashes and then imprisoned."
Hearing this, Eva went crazy, pointing at Bianca. "Do you dare say you have nothing with Edgar? If not, why didn't you activate the alarm system when he approached you? Because you still love him and didn't want him caught. Am I right?"
Bianca had already regained her composure.
She looked coldly at Eva, a mocking smile on her lips. "Because Smith told me the plan in advance. I went into the lounge to lure you in. I wanted that person to reveal his purpose. Otherwise, how would I know your conspiracy?"
Eva looked at her in disbelief and shouted, "Impossible! You're lying. You and Edgar have a secret story, but you don't dare admit it."
A cold glint flashed in Bianca's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
She slowly walked to Eva, patted her shoulder, and smiled coldly. Bianca said, "Then tell me, what secret story do we have? If you can't, you'll be charged with defamation."
Eva's face turned red with anger.
She had investigated Edgar and Bianca's unusual relationship but had no solid evidence.
Facing Bianca's questioning, she was speechless.
She stared into Bianca's cold eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "I will find out one day."
Bianca replied, "Fine, then investigate thoroughly in prison. I'll be waiting for your good news. Take Eva away and follow the Prince's orders."
