Chapter 1347 Exposing the Plot

As the short video came to an end, an eerie silence enveloped the room.

Finley seethed with anger, but alongside the anger was an unsettling sense of panic. He couldn't shake

the feeling that Eugene had a purpose in revealing the video. What is Eugene planning to do?

Finley looked up at Eugene, but to his dismay, the latter didn't even spare him a glance. Leisurely

seated on the couch, Eugene sipped his tea and appeared indifferent.

Meanwhile, Lexie was consumed with embarrassment. Initially, only she and Nathan were privy to the

events of the previous night. Now that the video was exposed, she felt like her private life was laid bare

for everyone to see.

Regardless of the video's accuracy, its mere presence would lead others to jump to conclusions about

her actions.

Her face flushed with anger, and she pointed an accusatory finger at Nathan and rebuked, "Nathan,

you're despicable! Did you record it?" Nathan furrowed his brow and replied, "Take a closer look. I'm

talking to you in the video. How could I be recording it?"

Frustrated, she growled, "You arranged for someone to record it in advance. If I agreed, it would serve

as evidence against me, and if I refused, you would use the recording as a threat. You had it all

planned out. Don't you dare deny it!"

Nathan nodded. "Hmm… This is a good method indeed."

He was initially worried about how to explain things to Halma, but with this recording, any

misunderstandings could be cleared up.

Lexie was left speechless.

Observing her silence, Nathan added, "Even if I could record, how could I anticipate the exact things

you were going to say?"

His words further embarrassed Lexie. "Weren't those accusations against me all made by you? The

cafe was your choice too. Who else could it be?"

She refused to admit to any wrongdoing.

The moment she said that, Eugene calmly set down his teacup and admitted, "It was me."

All eyes turned to Eugene. There was a mix of astonishment, anger, joy, and confusion reflected in their

gazes.

Amid this array of emotions, Eugene continued to explain slowly, "I had someone film that video.

Coincidentally, Nathan's girlfriend happens to be a close friend of my wife. My initial intention was to

gather some evidence for my wife to appease her friend, but I didn't anticipate accidentally capturing

your conversation."

As he spoke, his expression softened. It seemed as if his original intention was as innocent as he

described.

Although Lexie should have been angry, she couldn't help feeling a twinge of envy toward the woman

who held a special place in Eugene's heart. Being loved by him must be a joyful experience, right?

Meanwhile, Finley couldn't hold back his frustration any longer. His voice quivered with restrained

anger as he confronted Eugene. "Isn't this going too far? It's a violation of my daughter's privacy.

President Nolan, please delete the video!"

Eugene's response came with a veiled threat. "Well, it's not impossible to delete it, but it depends on

your sincerity, Mr. Snow."

If Eugene had seemed reasonable before, he now showed his true colors with a blatant and

undisguised threat.

Finley couldn't deny Eugene's intentions any longer, and years of experience in the business world had

taught him to read between the lines. Eugene's demand for everyone to apologize to Nathan on the

Internet turned out to be more than just empty words. "Otherwise, are you going to publish this video to

the public, President Nolan? That would be infringement!" Finley pointed out.

Eugene chuckled, finding amusement in Finley's naivety. He had a plethora of methods at his disposal

to prevent the police from tracing the video back to him. The idea of Finley talking about infringement

with him was almost laughable. Fine, then. Let's talk about infringement.

Eugene then shifted his gaze toward Lexie and questioned, "The drink Nathan had at the cocktail party

last night was served by you, right? What was in that drink? I'm sure you are well aware, Miss Snow."

Lexie's heart tightened uncontrollably as their gazes met.

For so long, she had hoped for Eugene's attention, but now when he finally spoke to her, it was solely

to hold her accountable.

A sudden sense of despair engulfed her. It seemed as though he knew everything.

The saddest thing in the world was that the person she admired and liked the most had now uncovered

her darkest secret, and it felt like unbearable torture.

Finley felt a sense of panic and quickly interjected, "President Nolan, Ace has been aware of this

matter. The drink Lexie served at the party was with his consent. In a way, it was a joint plan between

our families. While the methods used might not have been entirely honorable, Nathan had been

hesitant about the marriage proposal due to his girlfriend. We were simply trying to facilitate the union

of the two children."
