A very strong voice had broken through the crowd.
The voice astonished Madeline, and when virtual-novel.net looked up, virtual-novel.net was surprised to see Karen holding onto an insulation soup pot. She was pushing virtual-novel.net way through the crowd to enter the ward, looking infuriated.
Ryan’s parents had bumped into Karen before at a few business gatherings and even exchanged conversations.
In their memories, they only recalled that Karen used to hate Eveline as virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law. ‘Why is virtual-novel.net protecting virtual-novel.net now?’
As Ryan’s parents were deep in their thoughts, they let out a scornful smirk. “Karen, your daughter-in-law did such a thing to my daughter-in-law, yet you’re still defending her?!”
Karen glanced at Naomi with a critical gaze. “Why can’t I defend my daughter-in-law when you guys are even willing to protect your daughter-in-law who’s so wild and shameless? My daughter-in-law is such a well-mannered lady and is far more prestigious than this woman right here!”
“You…” Naomi thought of throwing a temper, but with so many people staring at them, virtual-novel.net held back.
However, that was not the case for Ryan’s parents. “Karen, the fact is right before our eyes. Your daughter-in-law has ruined my daughter-in-law’s life! Look at this video, look at what your daughter-in-law has done!”
Karen was not bothered, but when virtual-novel.net sneaked a glance and saw Madeline exchanging the wine glasses, virtual-novel.net got a shock. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net chose to stand beside Madeline no matter what was going on.
She admitted that virtual-novel.net was not a bright lady, but after Madeline had saved virtual-novel.net from pinching situations a few times, virtual-novel.net could not afford to suspect Madeline’s personality.
Karen calmly watched the video till the end and enquired, “This video doesn’t show the beginning nor the end. How are you going to determine it was my daughter-in-law who drugged your daughter-in-law? Where does it show virtual-novel.net drugging the drink? And where’s the drug itself?”
With Karen asking all those questions, it threw not only Ryan’s parents and the crowd into a daze but Naomi as well.
Naomi quickly explained before all the suspicious points were turned against virtual-novel.net again. “Then why did virtual-novel.net pretend to drop virtual-novel.net stuff if it wasn’t Eveline who drugged the drink in the first place? She even took that time to switch our wine glasses!”
As soon as Naomi was done speaking, Madeline sauntered virtual-novel.net way to the front with a carefree expression.
“Naomi, regarding your question, I’m guessing it’s puzzling everyone present here as well. Then, please lend me your ears as I’m about to tell you why.”
Madeline opened the photo album on virtual-novel.net phone and displayed a full video of the scene that took place in the restaurant.
Naomi’s eyes widened. She was flabbergasted. ‘Impossible!
‘As soon as Lana got virtual-novel.net hands on the video, virtual-novel.net immediately asked the staff in the restaurant to delete all footage from that time.
‘It’s near impossible that Madeline will have the footage.’
However, the truth was that Madeline did indeed have the full version of the recording.
The recording displayed every single detail to the crowd, from the moment Madeline got up and headed to the washroom, to Naomi sneakily taking out the pill and scattering its contents into Madeline’s glass, and to the moment when Madeline intentionally dropped virtual-novel.net keychain to switch the glasses.
The crowd who witnessed the entire scene retrieved their pitiful gaze for Naomi and replaced it with a look of anger.
Ryan’s parents were so mad that they were speechless after they saw the tape.
“This… So it was you who wanted to drug Eveline?!”
“No, I didn’t!” Naomi shook virtual-novel.net head to deny it. “Rye, you must believe me!”
Ryan glanced at Naomi with a disappointed look. “I guess I didn’t know you well enough.”
“No, it’s not like that. Rye, this is all part of Eveline’s plans!” Naomi insisted on blaming Madeline. However, with the truth displayed in front of everyone, none of them bought virtual-novel.net bluff.
Naomi was anxious. “Eveline, this is your way of setting me up. Or else, how would you have known that there was a problem with the wine?!”
“Are you forgetting what I used to be?” Madeline asked with a smile, “I used to be a perfumer.”
“…” Naomi was dumbfounded. A chill coursed through virtual-novel.net from the bottom of virtual-novel.net feet.
Madeline calmed down and explained, “My nose is very sensitive to any slight changes in the smell. What’s supposed to be in the wine and what’s not, I know it all very well.”
