Chapter 317

Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to look at Ophelia! Ophelia curled her lips and said, “I did it, so what?”

“Ophelia! You bitch! I will kill you!!” Bessie lost her sanity, screamed, and suddenly lunged at Ophelia without a care! Ophelia intercepted the hand about to scratch her face and forcefully flipped it away. Bessie fell to the ground instantly.

At that moment, Xander, who had heard the noise, came out of the store. “Bessie!” Seeing the scene outside, Xander changed his expression and hurried to support Bessie.

“Mr. Whitaker, you had to stand up for Bessie!” Erin cried out, preempting Ophelia. “Bessie always treated Ophelia like a real sister, but how had Ophelia treated her? It was bad enough that she had harmed her time and again, but now she couldn’t even stand to see her do well and had gone so far as to create a false video to slander Bessie. She was trying to drive Bessie to her death!”

Bessie also realized what was happening, and her eyes instantly turned red. She turned her head and buried herself in Xander’s arms, saying, “Xander! I can’t go on living! Ophelia splashed such a big bucket of dirty water on me, my reputation is ruined, boohoo…!”

Lenora was extremely angry. “Brother, don’t believe them! Cousin is not wronging her at all!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Bessie’s frail body trembled, looking pitiful beyond measure. Xander immediately felt a pang of heartache and said, “Enough, don’t say anything more! What video?”

“This, this…” A lady next to her awkwardly handed over her phone. Xander didn’t take it seriously at first, but when he got it in his hands and looked at it, his expression changed immediately. The strength in his hand nearly crushed the phone. “What are these?!”

“Of course, it’s evidence that Bessie slept with those men!” Lenora immediately said. “Bro, you were fooled by Bessie. She wasn’t some innocent little bunny at all; when you didn’t know, she was having a great time!”

Xander immediately looked at Bessie. Bessie cried with tears streaming down her face, her expression filled with suppressed grievance. “Xander, you have to believe me! I only had you in my heart; how could I possibly have anything to do with anyone else?”

“I knew Jasper and Cullen, but there was no ambiguity between us; I was just deceived by them. I had already been honest with you about this before—those videos were not real at all!” She suddenly looked at Ophelia as she spoke. “Ophelia, no matter how much you hate me, how could you treat me like this? Do you really wish for me to die?!”

He turned his head again and said, “Xander, there was clearly nothing going on before. Ophelia went to you and said some ambiguous things, and then these videos appeared. Isn’t that obvious enough? It was clearly Ophelia who fabricated evidence to frame me!”

Erin said, “Yes, yes, it’s so easy to fake videos now, with things like AI face-swapping; ordinary people can’t tell at all! Mr. Whitaker, you must not fall for someone’s trick and really doubt Bessie!”

Erin and Bessie, one after the other, decided to pin the false accusation on Ophelia; in any case, they absolutely could not admit that the video was real!

Ophelia listened calmly and suddenly laughed. Erin immediately looked over and said, “What are you laughing at! Ophelia. I treated you well, how could you do such a thing?!”
