Chapter 382: True Colors

Selina let out a soft chuckle. "Are those questions really that hard to answer?"

Of course Angelica couldn’t answer them. Inside, she was cursing Selina to death.

"I—I just..."

"I can ask something easier, then," Selina continued, her voice calm. "What injuries did Logan suffer? What first aid did you perform? Since you call it ’a life-saving favor,’ you must’ve actually saved him. So, Angelica, how exactly did you do it?"

Every eye in the room turned to Angelica.

She was drenched in cold sweat, her body trembling. "I... I..."

At this point, who still didn’t understand? Even Joe was staring at Angelica, completely stunned.

Angelica was seething inside. So what if she had faked being the one who saved Logan? Was it wrong to want a better life? She... she just loved Logan too much!

No. She couldn’t admit it.

She suddenly shouted in desperation, "I am the one who saved Logan! Yes! I even have the button! Logan, you couldn’t have forgotten it—it was the keepsake you gave me!"

When Logan had been rescued years ago, he’d had nothing to offer as thanks. The only thing he could give was a button from his coat—engraved with the initials "LR" in a special way. It was one of a kind. And that button had ended up in Angelica’s hands.

Selina replied casually, "Back in high school, during my time in the dorms, there was a theft incident. The roommate who stole from me was expelled, but I suspect that’s when the button went missing."

Angelica’s face twisted. She already knew where Selina was going with this. "So now you’re saying your classmate stole the button? Why should anyone believe that? The button is mine!"

Selina smiled faintly. "No need to get defensive, Angelica. I wasn’t finished—"

"At the time, I didn’t remember saving Logan, so I didn’t even care about what I’d lost. But thanks to the little kidnapping you arranged, I found out the truth from the kidnappers. After I got out, I started looking into that high school theft."

"And wouldn’t you know it—after that theft, my ex-roommate suddenly received a one-million-dollar transfer from Katie."

"Oh, and just so you know, Ms. Katie must’ve wanted to keep her identity hidden. She made the transaction in an underground exchange. What she didn’t expect was that the surveillance footage was still intact."

As Selina finished, Jack stepped forward and respectfully played the video.

Angelica shrieked in panic.

In the footage, Katie could be seen acting suspicious, glancing around nervously. After a few minutes, a high school student approached and handed her a button. Katie, in turn, gave the student a check.

Jack zoomed in on the clip.

Everyone could clearly see the button in the student’s hand, with the initials "LR" etched on it.

The guests began exchanging glances. This was irrefutable evidence.

Katie had bought the button. She was willing to pay a million for it because she knew what it meant—

It meant whoever held that button would be recognized as Logan’s savior.

It meant access to the full support and power of the Clark family.

Angelica’s lips trembled. A flicker of fear finally broke through her crazed expression.

"I didn’t know! I don’t know anything about an underground market or some student! Logan, the button was from you, always! How could you not believe me?!"

Logan answered without hesitation: "I don’t."

Someone finally snapped, "You’re disgusting! Angelica, do you think we’re all blind? The evidence is right there, and you still have the nerve to say you’re the one who saved him?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
