Chapter 313 Incredibly Tricky Aiden frantically cast his mind back on it. âHave I met her before? Or did she make it all up?â
Finished At this point, Alexander finally spoke, âI had someone look into it earlier. Yvonne indeed attended the same high school as you and even studied abroad at the same school.â
Aiden didnât particularly pay any mind to why Alexander had suddenly decided to investigate Yvonne. He furrowed his brows, trying hard to remember, but he simply couldnât recall anything.
The conversation in the first part of the recording caused the expressions of Aiden and Ines to change slightly.
They both recalled that most painful memory.
Aiden immediately turned his anxious gaze toward Ines. It was then that it dawned upon him why she was so upset. He figured she mustâve been reminded of that disturbing incident, which explained why she was so easily led astray by Yvonneâs lies.
âThat d*mned Yvonne! What on earth is she blabbering about? How many times is she going to tarnish my reputation? She must be sick! A true lunatic!â Aidenâs frustration mounted, and he swore solemnly, âIâve never laid a hand on her, and neither do I even remember her existence. Ines, youâre the only one for me. Rest assured, I donât need you to believe me mentally. Iâll prove it to you with evidence by contacting my classmates abroad later. I refuse to believe that no one can vouch for me!â
At that moment, after witnessing Aidenâs actions, everyone had firmly taken his side.
Ines finally broke down, throwing herself into Aidenâs arms, tears streaming down her face.
âIâm sorry, Aiden, Iâm so sorry. It was my lack of confidence, it was meâ¦â
Aiden didnât want Ines to utter those words, nor did he want her to recall those events. He wanted her to remain pure and lovely.
He held her in his arms, his eyes filled with frosty resolve. Yvonne, that psychopath! Sheâs made Ines so upset. Iâll never let her get away with it!
Upon hearing the latter part of the recording where Yvonne declared to protect Aiden, everyone couldnât help but mock her. Even Aiden himself let out a derisive chuckle.
Elaine couldnât help but comment, âShe certainly thinks highly of herself. Isnât it possible for people to fall in love at first sight or grow to love someone within their social circle? Does she think itâs only right to find someone from a completely different world, like she did, to prove that itâs true love?â
âThis seems more like a rash impulse in a moment of irrationality,â Deborah said coldly.
At this point, Alexander abruptly stopped the recording. The others looked at him curiously.
âThatâs it?â asked Roland.
Alexander calmly nodded.
âI thought they were going to conspire some sort of scheme.â Damien scoffed, B B 9 x 2.70%
Chapter 313 Incredibly Tricky Finished that night, then he mightâve realized the truth by now. So, heâs probably hiding everything, intending to let Aiden take the blame,â Roland concluded, looking at Aiden. âThis is a complicated matter.
How do you plan to handle it?â
Aiden snapped, âIâll find a way to expose her affair with Elijah! How dare those two idiots scheme against me?â
âWill she use the childâs matter to make a fuss?â Deborah asked.
âAre you out of your mind? Thereâs a recording. The child isnât even Mr. Ralphâs. How can she use it as an amulet?â said Elaine.
âBut only the recording can be used to prove that the child isnât his. Even then, itâd be hard for Aiden to prove himself,â remarked Damien.
âBy the way, what exactly is going on with that child? Ines, can you elaborate?â Elaine asked, her curiosity piqued.
Ines had already stopped crying, and only then did she remember the matter regarding the photo.
Thinking of it now, she figured it was probably the farewell gathering for the exchange students on their last day. Amidst the drunken revelry, someone had snapped a photo of the two of them together.
At that time, Aiden was preoccupied with his own concerns, completely oblivious to who was sitting beside him.
However, others might not see it the same way. If the photo and recording were being put together, it would become a doubleâsided blade that could potentially backfire on Aiden.
Undoubtedly, the situation was incredibly tricky.
âThat fellow mustâve done it on purpose. She mustâve deliberately done that so that she can pretend youâre the cause of her fall. Itâs just like in those historical dramas,â Elaine said.
