Chapter 513 Admired by Thousands, Like the End of Days!
Evelyn felt a surge of anger rush to her chest, clenching her fists tightly!
Barry was truly a smooth talker, twisting the truth. It was clearly his premeditated murder, yet now he was trying to pin the blame on Edward, attempting to stir up trouble and worsen Edward's relationship with the Clark Group, so Maurice would be more determined to protect him!
"Edward, this concerns the reputation of both families; you must be very careful!"
Tiffany, with a worried look of concern for the younger generation and the bigger picture, said, "We know that because of the divorce, you've always felt guilty towards Evelyn. Naturally, you want to avenge her when you see her in trouble."
"Revenge? Tiffany, what do you mean by that?"
Neil grew increasingly displeased, frowning as he questioned, "What has the Clark family done to offend Edward, to frame someone from the Clark family? We won't sit idly by! Don't push us too far!"
These words incited the Clark Group members, who glared at Edward with murderous intent.
"Neil, you misunderstand. What conflict could Edward have with the Clark Group? He and Eric are still good friends."
Tiffany's lips curled into a mocking smile, her cold gaze shifting to Evelyn, "The one with a conflict with you is Evelyn. Everyone in Mugden knows that Evelyn and Jessica don't get along."
"Now that Evelyn has had an accident and the competition was almost won by the Clark Group, I think Evelyn must be furious. Edward, it's understandable that you want to seek justice for Evelyn."
Everyone was stunned!
It was obvious to everyone that Evelyn and Jessica didn't get along on the surface. But to seek revenge by framing the Clark Group?
Charlie's face was as cold as ice, his pale lips pressed into a straight line.
Such a despicable woman wasn't even worth talking to; looking at her for another second was disrespectful to him!
Just as Edward and Landon were about to speak, someone beat them to it.
"Tiffany, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still haven't changed."
The usually timid Joyce stood up, her clear eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Twenty years ago, you loved to stir up trouble, and twenty years later, you're still so vile and malicious. You have no right to speak!"
"You picked the wrong person. Evelyn is a person of integrity who has done countless good deeds and helped many people. She has a high reputation in Hameen, and you can't tarnish or defame her with just a few words!"
"I'm not the Joyce you used to bully anymore. You can use your venomous words to humiliate me, but don't think you can hurt Evelyn even a bit!"
Everyone was shocked!
This was probably the harshest thing Joyce had ever said in her life.
She dared to stand up, not for herself, but because she couldn't stand seeing Evelyn bullied by Tiffany!
"Joyce!" Evelyn's nose tingled, almost bringing her to tears.
"Joyce, when did I ever try to sow discord between them? Don't make false accusations." Tiffany shrugged her shoulders, feigning innocence, but her words were full of provocation, "Which of my words isn't true? Back then, it was you who didn't uphold the basic principles of being a person, taking banned substances for a moment of ease, leading to incontinence and disgrace. Who forced you? Who harmed you?"
"If you were truly innocent back then, why didn't you produce evidence to clear your name when things went wrong, instead of choosing to disappear completely? Now you think you're noble because you're part of the Taylor family and have a daughter with Charlie, so you want to take this opportunity to use the Taylor family's power to settle personal scores? You say I have no right? Don't you have any right either?"
The air froze, and there was dead silence.
Even the Clark family members were taken aback, thinking Tiffany's words were too arrogant and excessive!
Debra saw Patrick's expression darken, her mouth twitching, her face looking grim, and she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Even though she thought Tiffany was too much, her spirit seemed unusually high.
Especially the last two sentences, they were practically insults!
"Tiffany!"
Joyce was so angry her eyes turned red, her whole body trembling with rage!
At this moment, Charlie put his arm around her shoulder, his hot palm gripping her shoulder, his fingers gently tightening.
He remained silent, but Joyce could clearly hear the strong heartbeat coming from his chest. Her tear-filled eyes glistened, and with him there, she felt she had a safe harbor, a place to rely on.
"Patrick, as the head of the family, can you control this bitch Tiffany?" Charlie suddenly spoke coldly, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through Tiffany's organs.
Everyone was puzzled. Bitch? Everyone couldn't believe these words came from Charlie!
Tiffany was so ashamed and angry, her face turning red!
But the moment she met Charlie's sharp gaze, she visibly shrank back.
Edward was completely stunned, his handsome face unsure of what expression to make, "Charlie really is surprising. Evelyn, I now know who you take after."
"The only ones who can be surprised are you outsiders. Since I've known Charlie, he's always been like this, saying whatever he wants at home. You'll get used to it."
Before Evelyn finished speaking, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She lowered her long lashes and took a quick look.
Suddenly, Evelyn looked at Tiffany, her lips curling coldly.
"Tiffany, this time, your words and actions were indeed inappropriate. Apologize to Joyce immediately." Patrick took a deep breath and ordered coldly.
Tiffany bit her gums in pain.
She had underestimated Charlie's protectiveness towards Joyce, a kind of protectiveness she had never received from Patrick!
But she dared to challenge Joyce, not Charlie, so she could only back down and say softly, "I was just momentarily emotional and lost my composure. I'm sorry, Joyce."
"Is that it?" Charlie's gaze was extremely intimidating, burning like fire, "Do you think the Taylor family is easy to deal with? Do you think my woman is easy to bully?"
"And just now, you insulted Evelyn with your words. Do you think I'm deaf and didn't hear it? Do you think a simple apology will suffice? It's not that easy."
"Charlie, what more do you want?" Patrick was very impatient.
Although he was unhappy with Tiffany causing trouble, Charlie's attitude towards the Wellington Group also made him very displeased.
"Tiffany should slap herself twice, one as an apology to Joyce and one to Evelyn. Then I'll let her go." Charlie's request was made lightly.
But it shocked everyone! Make Tiffany slap herself?
"You're too much! I'm a member of the Wellington Group! I'm Patrick's wife! How dare you make such a request?" Tiffany stomped her feet and screamed in anger.
Patrick's expression was extremely grim, but he didn't agree to Charlie's demand.
But Charlie had run out of patience and shouted, "Hubert!"
"Yes, Charlie!"
Hubert immediately understood Charlie's intention!
He walked up to Tiffany.
Before anyone could react, he swung his arm and slapped her twice, one on each cheek!
"Ah!" Tiffany screamed in pain, her cheeks instantly turning red and swollen.
Back in the day, Hubert was a ninth-degree black belt in karate; this wretched woman was out of luck.
Seeing Tiffany get slapped, no one around stepped in to stop it, not even the Clark family members who had spoken up for her earlier.
Why? Because no one dared to offend Charlie anymore.
Molly was scared stiff, and with Eric holding her tightly, she couldn't move at all. Debra, seeing Tiffany getting beaten, didn't even dare to breathe loudly, timid and cowardly.
Bullies who prey on the weak, Tiffany and Debra, were exactly the same.
"Tiffany, I'm sorry, but you deserved this. I hope you learn your lesson and watch your words and actions in the future."
With that, Hubert expressionlessly returned to Charlie's side.
"You! You!" Tiffany wanted to get angry, but seeing she had no support, she resorted to her usual tactics, crying and throwing herself at Patrick, "Patrick! I'm your wife, how can you just stand by and watch me get beaten like this? And in front of the children, I can't show my face anymore, Patrick!"
She knew that men cared about their pride.
Even if Patrick didn't care about her, he couldn't ignore his own dignity. How could he just sit back and do nothing?
Sure enough, Patrick supported the trembling Tiffany with both hands, his gaze at Charlie filled with rage.
Just as he was about to speak, the large screen in the center of the grandstand suddenly lit up.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the giant screen.
"Look! What's that?"
"It looks like a surveillance video, but it's much clearer than regular surveillance."
"Wait, isn't that woman in the video familiar?"
"Of course, it's Tiffany!"
The person in the video, every move, every word, was crystal clear.
Everyone saw Tiffany pick up a syringe and inject it into her vein.
A few seconds later, the woman began to lose focus, laughing uncontrollably, flailing her arms.
She lay on the ground, writhing shamelessly, moaning indecently.
Then, she started touching herself, stripping off her clothes!
Soon, she was completely naked on the big screen, her hands roaming over her body.
"What is Tiffany doing? She's so shameless!"
"Can't you tell? She's having a hallucinogenic reaction from drugs. She must have injected herself with some kind of narcotic!"
"Record this! It might not be shown again!"
"Everyone's watching Tiffany's private moments on surveillance. I have to enjoy this!"
Tiffany's face turned pale, her eyes unfocused, staring blankly at her naked self on the screen. She closed her eyes and shook her head.
When she opened them again, nothing had changed.
It wasn't a hallucination.
It was like the end of the world!
"What's going on, how could this happen!" Patrick's pupils trembled violently, his face turning red, the veins in his neck bulging as if they were about to burst.
He didn't want to admit that the disgusting woman on the screen was the same Tiffany he had shared a bed with for over twenty years.
But he couldn't lie to himself; it was clearly Tiffany!
The Taylor family, the Clark family, the Alexander family, including Gavin and Sawyer, all stared at the big screen, too shocked to react.
Eric, knowing what was about to happen, quickly pressed Molly's head into his chest and carried her away as fast as he could before she could understand what was going on.
"How entertaining." Jessica's eyes were filled with mockery and excitement. She nudged the now completely stiff Debra with her elbow, her schadenfreude obvious, "No wonder you're so promiscuous in private. It must be inherited from your mother."
Debra knew it was an insult, but she was too scared to say a word.
Cold sweat dripped down her pale cheeks, her body trembling like a leaf.
Edward's eyes widened, a mix of shock and delight coursing through him, his whole body feeling invigorated, his chest burning with a fiery passion, his blood boiling.
He lifted his strong arm and pulled Evelyn into his embrace, his large hand caressing her slender waist, his deep eyes filled with heat, asking hoarsely, "Evelyn, why didn't you tell me?"
Evelyn tilted her beautiful chin to meet his gaze, her bright eyes blazing, stunningly beautiful, "I wanted to surprise you. What's the fun in telling you? Do you like it?"Edward exhaled warmly, and the next second, he cupped her neck with one hand, sealing her tender lips with a passionate kiss.
Evelyn felt his breath grow rough and heavy, his tongue trembling as it entwined with hers.
Her delicate hand grabbed his tie, wrapping it around her finger, playfully tugging it down.
She was so happy, loving Edward's instinctive reaction.
Everyone was captivated by Tiffany's surveillance footage, giving the couple a moment of passionate intimacy.
After a while, they slowly pulled away, Edward's lips stained with her lipstick.
"You're so bad. But I like it."
The racetrack buzzed with excitement from this unexpected turn of events!
As the hosts, the Alexander family, the owners of the racetrack, didn't send anyone to turn off the screen, letting the situation escalate.
After all, Tiffany was completely ruined.
They might as well use her scandal to promote their racetrack!
Tiffany probably never imagined that after using others for so long, she would one day be used by someone else.
"Patrick, let me explain! Let me explain!"
Tiffany clung desperately to Patrick's arm, her lips twitching, babbling incoherently, "I was framed, I was drugged to become like that! I'm the victim! You have to believe me, Patrick!"
At that moment, a series of decisive footsteps approached.
Several police officers in uniform walked into the VIP section, heading straight for Tiffany.
"Tiffany, you are under arrest for drug trafficking, possession, and use."
The cold handcuffs clicked onto Tiffany's wrists, sending a chill through her heart!
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it!"
Suddenly, she felt a warm stream running down her thigh.
In front of everyone, she lost control of her bladder.
