Chapter 607 The Video
The crowd was shocked. Everyone was stunned and stared at Catherine. Audrey pulled herself out of the sadness. Slowly, she looked toward Catherine with a somewhat dull expression as if having trouble accepting what she had just heard.
âKathy, what do you mean by this?â
Catherine glanced at her faintly and replied in a low voice, âJust the literal meaning.â
Liana became anxious. She couldnât even dare to look directly at Catherine.
After carefully recalling everything she had done, Liana couldnât find any wrongdoing. Her attitude suddenly became firm, and she straightened her posture.
Then she asked, âCatherine, are you falsely accusing me to escape the charges? Doesnât your conscience hurt? Or is it that youâre doing this for money? You donât want to split Dadâs property, so you intentionally found such an excuse?â
As Liana finished speaking, Rachael caught on.
She pointed at Catherine and cursed loudly, âJinx! Youâre a jinx! Your dad has just died, and youâre bullying us like this. Youâre truly wicked to the core.
Even though everyone believed Catherine, what she said was just too unbelievable. She said Liana killed her own father, Korbin. They thought that could not be possible.
Just as the situation reached a deadlock, Scott suddenly rushed over.
He shouted, âCatherine, didnât lie!â
This abrupt voice took everyoneâs attention, and all eyes focused on Scott.
Scott walked confidently to Liana and stared at her. Despite his young age, his gaze was sharp.
Being stared at like this made Liana uncomfortable, and she couldnât help but lower her head.
Scott teased, âLiana, are you feeling guilty? Canât even look me in the eye?â
Liana glanced at him with anger. â
What nonsense are you spouting?
Everyone knows youâre in cahoots with Catherine. Are you teaming up against me now? Is that fun for you?â
âFun? Of course, itâs fun!â Scott
carefully examined Liana. In terms of appearance, she indeed resembled Catherine even more than Audrey did. But he didnât know why their personalities were so different.
Scott curled his mouth and disdainfully evaluated Liana. He asked, âWhy donât you have even half the intelligence of Catherine? Donât you know the wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Liana couldnât hold back any longer. She exploded in anger.
Scott held up his portable computer and waved it in front of Liana. âIâve got evidence here. Iâve recorded everything wrong youâve done. How about that? Didnât expect cameras in the hospital room, did you?â
Liana was so shocked that she took a step back involuntarily, and her face turned pale instantly.
She never imagined someone would install cameras in the hospital room.
She thought inwardly, âDoes Catherine target me from the start?â
Audrey observed Lianaâs reaction and thought she became increasingly suspicious.
She marched up to Liana and glared at her, not allowing any evasion. âLiana, tell me. What did you do to Dad?â
Liana was speechless and trembled all over.
Rachael, who stood nearby, was unable to bear it. She pushed Audrey away and angrily reprimanded her.
She shouted, âI think youâve gone mad! You actually believe this kidâs words. Heâs in cahoots with Catherine. Canât you see that?â
Audrey looked at her mother in shock and, unbelievably, asked, âMom, didnât you hear? Scott has evidence.â
As the others argued, Scott had already opened the video.
In it, a figure with a mask sneakily entered Korbinâs hospital room and injected an unknown substance into his IV bag.
Even though the person wore a mask, from the figureâs back, everyone could clearly see it was Liana.
Audrey stared at the clear footage with red eyes, and then she looked at Liana in disbelief. âWhy? Why would you do this?â
Rachael frowned and still didnât believe everything she was seeing.
She stubbornly defended Liana and replied, âWho knows? This jinx is quite capable. Anything can be faked nowadays. What if she faked this video? Audrey, after all these years together, you donât trust your sister but believe this jinx?â
Faced with her motherâs absurd words, Audrey couldnât take it anymore. Mom, have you said enough?â
Rachael was stunned by Audreyâs outburst.
Audrey didnât care about any of that. She glared furiously at Liana. âSpeak up! Why did you do it?â
Liana still stubbornly held on and refused to admit anything. âWhy? Thereâs no reason. Itâs just like Mom said! Catherine framed me. Sheâs capable of anything to set me up!â
âFrame you?â Catherine sneered, â What makes you think youâre worth my trouble to frame? Are you even worthy?
âExactly. Look at yourself. Youâre nothing. Catherine could deal with you easily,â Scott replied, echoing Catherine. In his view, anyone who dared to bully Catherine should be crushed.
Their coordinated mockery completely enraged Liana. She couldnât contain herself any longer and yelled frantically at Catherine, âItâs you who framed me! Just to satisfy your superiority complex and show off your skills. Because Iâve always been unhappy with you, you want me to become like you, the one everyone hates!â
Facing Lianaâs irrationality, the crowd felt that she had truly lost her mind. Even if Catherine hadnât done anything, they wouldnât find Catherine detestable.
Instead, they thought Liana was manipulative and didnât like her.
Scott couldnât take it anymore. He suggested to Catherine, âCatherine, this girlâs just bluffing. I think we shouldnât be polite anymore. Letâs just take action!â
Catherine glanced at Liana, and her scornful gaze stunned Liana.
Liana felt something was wrong.
And indeed, the next moment, Catherine dropped another bomb.
âSince you refuse to admit it, let your father tell you himself!â
The crowd thought inwardly, âHer father? But isnât Korbin dead?â
Everyone was bewildered. They couldnât understand Catherineâs words. They wondered whether she had some resurrection power.
Just as everyone was in a daze, the tightly closed door of the room suddenly swung open.
Korbin, who should be lying in the hospital bed, was pushed out. He was actually alive.
After Liana saw her father, as their eyes met, she collapsed to the ground. She knew it was over, completely over.
