Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 280 Revealing Everything âNo wonder she was so lively before. Sheâs quite the actor!â
Finished âThinking back on how she relentlessly smeared her own brotherâs name in the past now makes me feel sick to my stomach.â
âTheyâre insane! Both mother and daughter are insane, treating their own family like this.â
âNot only are they sick in the head, but theyâre vicious too. Both mother and daughter are malicious to the core. The words âevilâ and âcruelâ could be etched onto their foreheads. Itâs such a misfortune for Damien to have relatives like these.â
âJoining forces with outsiders to go against oneâs own son is truly an action beyond ordinary comprehension.â
âOliver isnât any better. He just called Damien an animal. I think heâs the one whoâs more like it.â
âStill trying to play the victim, huh? Why not look in the mirror to see if you even have the brains for that!â
âWhat a scumbag! He actually conspired to sabotage his own cousin, even going as far as to offer up his own fiancée. Look at the expressions on the faces of the Carney family members. This is utterly humiliating!â
The Winters family members, too, were looking rather grim. Everyoneâs eyes instinctively turned toward Lydia. As Oliverâs mother, they had expected her to be livid. However, to everyoneâs surprise, she remained calm and composed, simply sitting there.
Seeing her in this state, Ava was absolutely livid, her eyes turning bright red with rage. She struggled wildly again, and had her mouth not been gagged and her body restrained, she would have likely rushed over and berated Lydia by now.
Isabella, who was initially enjoying the spectacle, suddenly felt something was off. After all, Avaâs animosity toward Lydia was completely undisguised at this moment. Could it be just because Lydia had people keeping them restrained now?
At this point, Oliver had basically let all the cats out of the bag. Seeing Damienâs upset expression, Oliver chuckled. âI havenât treated you unfairly. I never laid a hand on Deborah, and now sheâs all yours. Consider her a trade for the heirâs position. Youâre already down and out anyway. Once Deborah returns, everything will come to an end.â
Pausing briefly, Oliver then arrogantly said, âPerhaps, if you kneel and beg me now, I might consider sparing you some dignity. However, donât even dream about laying a finger on the heirâs position. After all, youâre destined to be defeated by me.â
At that moment, Damienâs demeanor began to change. He scoffed, âDefeated? You resorted to such despicable tactics to win against me, and youâre proud of it? Youâve truly let Aunt Lydia down.â
âShut up! I gave you a chance, but youâre not taking it, are you? Fine, then Iâll make sure youâre convicted for forcing yourself on Deborah.â Oliver was instantly filled with rage when he saw Damienâs defiance.
âHah! Do you really think Deborah would still cooperate with you after you drugged her?â
âSheâs woman who wat mahad with her fiancéâs during their anon mant hanmat If chaâs amart Sat, Oc Chapter 280 Revealing Everything Finished enough, sheâll play the victim later on. Otherwise, her reputation will be completely ruined. But even if she wants to pretend that nothing happened, it wonât work. It all depends on whether I agree or not,â Oliver said smugly.
Damien was so amused that he chuckled. âDo you really think everythingâs going to work out in your favor?â
Oliver failed to notice the complete shift in Damienâs tone, as he was hopelessly engrossed in the scheme he had spun himself.
âWhat, you think I canât do it? Itâs actually quite simple; all we need to do is get a doctor to examine Deborah to see if sheâs been with someone recently! Thereâs no room for excuses here. If she refuses the examination, then sheâs clearly hiding something!
As soon as the words fell, the sound of a fist hitting flesh rang out.
âWhat right do you have to do that? Who do you think you are?â Damien was furious.
Just moments ago, he was skillfully setting up his trap, but now, due to Oliverâs shameless assumptions, he was struggling to maintain his composure.
Even Isabella and the others hadnât anticipated that Oliver was planning to use moral blackmail, tactic that was essentially an insult to the dignity of Deborah, the young lady of a prestigious family.
Everyoneâs gaze was drawn to Deborah on the stage. Her eyes were downcast, and her face seemed as if it was encased in ice.
âGo ahead, hit me. The harder you hit, the worse theyâll think of you when we go in later, hahaha!â
Oliver, unable to beat Damien in a fight, deliberately tried to provoke him.
Damien was panting before he eventually let out a cold, mocking laugh. âOliver, youâre truly beyond redemption. But donât get too smug; do you really think you can succeed? Let me tell you, in reality, nothing happened between Deborah and me.â
Oliver was taken aback, then immediately retorted, âImpossible! If nothing happened, what were you two hiding from?â
âDonât you know how long the drug you gave me would last?â Damienâs voice was icy. âIf the two of us really were up to something, do you think I would be awake at this moment?â
Just as expected, when this was mentioned, Oliver became doubtful and didnât voice any rebuttal.
âTrue, I was drugged, and so was Deborah, but I still had my wits about me. I hurt my hand to stay alert while waiting for rescue,â Damien continued.
It seemed as if Oliver had a moment of clarity. âAlexander and Isabella!â
âThatâs right. Our friends brought a doctor to take us for treatment, and we just got back,â said Damien. âSo your plan was useless. Deborah is still an innocent woman. You canât harm her.â
Cliverâs entertainment was abruptly interrupted, causing his face to darken instantly. He glared at Damien with a menacing look, but then, as a thought crossed his mind, he began to laugh.
âSo thatâs how it is, huh? Why did you ask to meet me alone, if not because youâre unsure yourself?
Even if you insist that nothing happened, who would believe that? We found a crime scene! I can still demand that Chapter 280 Revealing Everything 1. EK. 90%=
Finished Deborah be investigated, whether she agrees or not. Iâve made my suspicions and speculations about you clear. I refuse to believe that the Winters family would still announce you as the heir with such suspicion hanging over you!â
âWhat crime scene?â Damien immediately furrowed his brows.
Oliver was once again filled with smugness.
âOf course, Iâm referring to the room left behind after you slept together.â
âBullsh*t! That room must be another setâup of yours.â
âSo what? You can only say youâre unlucky, because⦠that was left by me and your sister. Itâs your own fault for hiding away. Since it just so happened that someone discovered the room, I decided to leave it for you, hahaha.â
Oliver still had a habit of hurting him from the perspective of Damienâs family. Flaunting that he had slept with his sister and even conspiring with her to trap him, all these actions deeply satisfied Oliver.
However, for the present Damien, it didnât matter anymore. After all, his heart had completely broken away from the mother and daughter duo the moment he was manipulated.
However, astonishment reigned in the ballroom.
Everyone was left lamenting. No wonder the ungrateful sister treated her own brother this way. It turned out she was favoring outsiders over her own family.
Once again, it was clear to see that the world of the wealthy was truly chaotic, and poor Damien was really unfortunate.
At this point, Rubyâs face had turned an unflattering shade of red. Even though she had willingly agreed to sleep with Oliver, she didnât want to be openly discussed like this. Oliver, on the other hand, was someone who didnât know how to hold his tongue. How could he blurt out everything like that?
This time, it was truly over.
Yet no one noticed that Ava, who had been desperately struggling just moments before, quieted down as if her spirit had left her body upon hearing Oliverâs words. She was as still as death itself.
