Wyatt Anson was always a man who valued reason above all else.
It was precisely this sense of reason that, even while immersed in the bliss of his new marriage, allowed him to calmly notice the differences in the people around him.
At the same time, he clearly understood one principle.
When you’re being falsely accused, don’t blindly fall into proving yourself.
Doing so would let the other party lead you by the nose.
With this in mind, he quickly calmed his mind and restored his usual expression of composed restraint.
He lowered his voice and said,
"Your reaction like this only makes me more convinced that you’re not her."
When he said this, he looked at her with eyes that no longer feigned intimacy, but instead were entirely cold and indifferent.
The woman froze, a trace of panic inadvertently flashing in her eyes.
Yet she quickly calmed down, recalling the words Seth Houghton taught her, her voice again filled with sorrowful accusation,
"Wyatt, what’s wrong with you? You were not like this before. Are you... are you having mental issues? Is that why you have such strange notions about me?"
Seth had said that as long as she labeled him as mentally ill, making the netizens and even the show crew perceive his motives as impure, they would not believe what he said.
When no one believed him and even regarded him as having some mental disorder, she, as his wife, would have reason to take control over him, and he could only resign himself to accepting her as his wife.
Thinking of this, the woman again strengthened her resolve, prepared to add more fuel to the fire.
However, unexpectedly, a clear, pleasant female voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the live broadcast.
"I forgot to mention earlier, there’s actually another way to determine if your wife’s soul has been swapped."
Scarlett Jennings’ words completely ignored the woman’s recent accusations and the audience’s commentary, as if there was no sudden appearance of the wife, she continued discussing the original issue with Wyatt Anson.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Anson’s eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
The woman’s expression changed slightly, wanting to speak to prevent it, but Scarlett Jennings had already started talking to herself,
"Soul swapping doesn’t mean memory swapping. You mentioned she deliberately retains some of your wife’s habits, which implies she knows your wife in reality. Additionally, soul swapping requires both parties to be matched in all respects, meaning her age, zodiac, birth date, and even appearance should be similar to your original wife’s.
You can check if among your wife’s friends, there’s anyone who matches these conditions and has recently shown a personality change or has become a vegetable due to an accident."
As soon as Scarlett Jennings said this, the woman’s face instantly showed obvious panic, while Wyatt Anson quickly sifted through Scarlett Jennings’ potential candidates in his mind and immediately thought of someone.
"I don’t know about those with personality changes or who are in a vegetative state, but there’s one person. She shares the same birthday as Elsa, matches Elsa’s conditions in all aspects, and is well-acquainted with Elsa’s past and some details of my interactions with Elsa..."
While speaking, Wyatt Anson’s eyes fixed intensely on the "Elsa" in front of him, then he spoke as if grinding his teeth,
"Elsa’s childhood friend and bestie, Clara Harper!"
Perhaps Wyatt Anson’s stare was too overwhelming, as upon hearing him utter Clara Harper’s name through gritted teeth, the "Elsa" before him trembled violently, her face uncontrollably paling slightly.
With just that reaction, how could Wyatt Anson have any uncertainty left? The composed, restrained demeanor he had maintained completely dissipated in that instant, revealing anger on his face,
"Clara Harper, it really is you!"
