Chapter 348
Vincent stared blankly at the screen for a long while, his mind torn by two different voices.
One of them said, “See? The woman you’ve loved all these years is actually unfaithful and cunning. She doesn’t love you at all. She’s been lying to you.”
The other argued, “That’s not true. Lydia is kind and innocent. There have to be some mistakes. She wouldn’t do that.”
These two voices seemed to tear Vincent apart, causing sharp pain in his head. Only when he heard Emily’s voice did he slowly come back to his senses.
It was as if he suddenly grasped some truth. He said, “It’s you. You set Lydia up.” Vincent leaned on the table, excited as if he had found the perfect excuse, but his trembling hand betrayed him.
Emily smiled softly, not shocked by his reaction at all. Whether Lydia was involved or not, Vincent always blamed her. It seemed to have become his habit over the years.
Emily and Vincent had grown up together. She truly loved him-distant and aloof as he seemed, he had always treated her with quiet kindness.
Seeing him lose composure for the first time over another woman, and hearing his misunderstanding and accusations, Emily thought she should have felt deeply hurt.
Yet she simply stared calmly at him, unfazed. She even chuckled sarcastically. “How could I set her up? Is the person on the screen not Lydia? Or did I force her to say those things just now?”
Vincent’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t get a single word out.
Even so, a voice in his mind kept saying, “You’re misled. You got Lydia wrong. She’s kind and innocent. There must be some misunderstanding. It was all Emily’s doing. She’s jealous of Lydia, so she’s been framing her all along.”
Vincent didn’t know exactly what Emily did wrong, but that voice kept playing over and over in his head like a curse he couldn’t shake.
Seeing the disbelief still lingering in his eyes, Emily didn’t hold back. “Vincent, if you’re still doubtful, why don’t you go. down and face them directly?
“I’ve backed up the surveillance footage. They haven’t left yet. Do you want to go see for yourself? You’ll soon find out if I framed her or not.”
Emily remained composed and even stood up, ready to accompany him downstairs to confront them.
However, Vincent didn’t move, looking even paler than before.
Emily let out a sarcastic laugh. It sounded harsh to Vincent, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Emily looked down at Vincent. “I’m leaving the laptop here. You can take a good look at your sweet fiancée’s dark side.”
With that, Emily walked away without the slightest hesitation.
Vincent remained dazed, eyes fixed on the screen. Lydia was still smiling beautifully, unaware of what was going on, occasionally throwing Jeremy suggestive glances.
