Chapter 210 Ashley felt the voice seep into her very bones, compelling her to speak.
At the scene, no one knew that Ashley had been hypnotized.
Not even Ashley herself was aware.
Unconsciously, she had become Oneidaâs puppet.
1- Ashleyâs mouth opened slightly, her eyes vacant and devoid of emotion. âNo.â
Finally, she uttered the word âno.â
âWhatâs going on?â Nathan frowned deeply. âWhy are you changing your statement? Yes or no?â
Wyattâs eyes narrowed, his expression shifting.
Ashleyâs sudden reversal shocked many present.
âIf it wasnât Edmund, then who was it?â Oneida continued to stare into Ashleyâs eyes, posing the next question.
Ashley was silent for a moment.
Then, with some difficulty, she said. âIt was Wyatt.â
Wyatt?
Nathan and Hazelâs faces froze.
Mateoâs family also widened their eyes in disbelief, and Wyatt himself stared at Ashley in shock.
âImpossible,â Wyatt muttered.
How could she recognize him?
The only one who remained calm was Oneida because this was the answer sh she had anticipated.
Ashley wouldnât admit it willingly, so Oneida had to use hypnosis to get the truth out of her.
Oneida knew Ashley was hiding something. She needed her to speak out, and the truth might emerge further.
She had taken a gamble and won.
Ashley, indeed. knew everything-
Oneidaâs heart surged with intense anger.
âSince you know the person who violated you wasnât Edmund but Wyatt, why did you lie just now? No, youâve been lying from the start. Your accusation at the police station was a lie!â Orcida demanded.
Ashleyâs mouth opened slightly, and she replied expressionlessly, âYes, I lied. Though Edmundâs school badge was found at the scene, and the surveillance footage showed he was nearby, I knew it wasnât him.â
Ashleyâs face showed a hint of pain as she continued, âThe smell was wrong, the feeling was wrong, and the height was wrong. The person that night couldnât have been Edmund. And that person was drunk, reeking of alcohol. Edmund doesnât drink.â
1/3 Wed, No Chapter 210 Oneida felt a twinge of surpise at Ashleyâs worrls.
Ashley seemed to know Edmund very well.
âSo why did you lie Oneida pressed her lips together and asked Why Ashley repeated the word blankly, and then a cold smile appeared on her lips. âBecause I liked him, but he didnât even know me. He would come to the convenience store to buy drinks sometimes, and I would secretly watch him. So, I knew him well âThe person that night couldnât have been Edmund. If it had been him, I would have recognized him and wouldnât have struggled.
Her words caused another wave of shock among people present Who would have thought that Ashley, who had pointed lingers at Edmund and sent him to the police, actually liked him?
What an absurd twist!
âBut I also hate him!â Suddenly, Ashleyâs tone turned cold, her voice heavy with resentment. âI hate that he never noticed me. I hate that he wouldnât even open my love letters, instead tossing them straight into the trash. I hate him so much, so if I couldnât have him, I decided to destroy him!â As Ashley spoke, her voice grew increasingly bitter and resentful.
Oneida looked coldly at the girl, her gaze icy, her fingers tightening.
Because of such an absurd and laughable reason, she twisted the truth and sent Edmund to prison?
Was this love?
How absurdly selfish.
If she couldnât have him, sheâd destroy him?
âThen how can you be sure that the man that night was Wyatt?â Oneida suppressed her anger, knowing she had more questions to ask.
âThat night, in my panic, I managed to grab a business card from the manâs pocket, a card with Wyattâs name on it,â Ashley said emotionlessly.
âYouâre lying!â Wyatt panicked completely, his palms sweating profusely. âIf you had the business card, why didnât you show it earlier? You handed over Edmundâs school badge right away. Bringing up the card now is too late!â
Ashley remained silent, her face indifferent.
At this moment, Ashley only listened to Oneida.
She would only answer Oneidaâs questions.
âWhere is the business card? Oneida asked, her eyes narrowing âThe cardâAshleyâs voice was soft. âI kept it safe. I wasnât sure it was Wyatt, as a business card alone doesnât prove anything, until today, when I saw him in person. The moment I saw him, I was sure it was him. No mistake.â
After Ashley finished speaking, Oneida turned her cold gaze to the crowd. âI think the witnessâs testimony is clear-
âDid you bribe her?â Janet screamed, refusing to believe her son was the real culprit. âThis canât be true, itâs impossible!â
The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)
ï¤The Second Act 209 Mateoâs face darkened, his lips tightly pressed together, unable to speak.
08:36 Chapter 210 Wyatt stood frozen, completely dumbfounded.
He hadnât expected the situation to take such a sudden and dras turn He hadnât anticipated things would end up like this.
William. Yuliana, and Rachel were equally stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Ashley had actually been fabricating a lie from the start.
âCould it be that Edmund is truly innocent? they wondered.
âAre you sure everything you said is true? With all these changes how do we know if we can trust you?â Nathan asked Ashley sternly.
Ashley naturally wouldnât respond to him.
Oneida, however, laughed softly, turning to Nathan with a cold voice. âWhen she accused Edmund, you believed her without question. Now that she accuses Wyatt, you donât know if you can trust her. Grandfather, youâre really biased.â
âYou!â Nathan was left speechless, his face turning red with anger Oneida stepped forward, her gaze sharp as a blade, piercing Wyatt. âI think itâs best if you go to the police and confess. Iâve recorded everything Ashley said on a recorder, and Iâll be submitting it to the police.â
What?
Oneida had actually prepared a recorder?
