Chapter 65
“I can prove that these videos are real,” a doctor in a white coat said, stepping forward. It was the doctor who treated Judy the other day; the one who appeared in the videos earlier.
The female doctor looked at Judy seriously. “Hello, Ms. Willis. I’m the doctor who treated you that day. I remember very clearly the fake name you used.”
Judy reacted quickly, immediately counterattacking and accusing Elvira of collusion. “Were you bribed by my sister? How much money did she pay you?”
“Yes, you must have been bribed by Elvira!” Amber said, immediately supporting her daughter’s statement.
The female doctor remained calm. She raised her hand. “I swear on my profession and future as a doctor that everything I say is true. If I lie, I’m willing to be investigated by the police. I just can’t stand your way of framing others.”
Right after that, another person was brought forward: Judy’s assistant, the one who accompanied her to the hospital for the checkup that day. The assistant’s figure also appeared in the videos; everyone recognized her.
“Miss Willis, I was the one who accompanied you for the prenatal checkup that day,” the assistant said, looking at Judy with teary eyes. “You even used my name. At that time, the doctor said there was no heartbeat in your baby and recommended abortion. I asked if you wanted to schedule an abortion, but you told me the child in your womb was still ‘useful’… I really didn’t expect that ‘useful’ meant using this child to frame your own sister.”
Judy looked at her assistant, who had worked for her for over a year, in shock. “You… you… you are my assistant. Were you also bribed by Elvira?”
“I’m telling the truth,” the assistant said, swearing with a strong sense of justice. “I’m also willing to be investigated by the police. If I lie, I can go to jail or be struck by lightning!”
“Damn!” Judy said, on the verge of a heart attack from anger.
Just as she was figuring out how to turn the situation around, a group of police officers walked in. The leader showed his badge. “I’m Kenneth Parker, captain of the Jersten Criminal Investigation Unit. Miss Elvira, I’ve brought technicians to help verify if your videos are fake. Would you dare to let my people verify them?”
Elvira looked at Judy’s ashen face and smiled. “Genuine things can withstand challenges and difficulties. Please proceed, Mr. Parker.” Verification by the city’s criminal police brigade was equivalent to an official seal of verification, so she was naturally willing to let them proceed.
Kenneth nodded. His team of professionals immediately took their equipment to test the videos. This was the most authoritative criminal investigation agency in Jersten. If Judy dared to question it again, the Willis family would be in trouble along with her.
The guests at the banquet hall fell silent. Netizens stopped commenting. Everyone was perplexed, thinking, ‘Elvira bringing in the doctor and Judy’s assistant makes sense, but how is the captain of the Jersten Criminal Investigation Unit here? Elvira, someone driven away by the Willis family, how could she wield such influence?’
The Jersten Criminal Investigation Unit was legendary. Kenneth had handled countless criminal cases, solving even the most difficult ones. Members of the Willis family couldn’t understand how Elvira could get such a high-ranking official to testify for her.
Watching as the professionals tested the videos and the results were about to be released, Judy used her ultimate move and pretended to faint. She closed her eyes, her body tilted, and she fell into Calvin’s arms. Calvin quickly caught her, crying out in heartache, “Judy, Judy, what’s wrong?”
When Amber noticed her daughter had fainted, she rushed over, grabbed her daughter’s hand, and cried out, “Judy, Judy, don’t scare me! Elvira, you’re really too much. Are you only pleased after driving your sister to death?”
“Hurry up and send her to the hospital!” Karen ordered sternly. “I’ll settle the score with you when I return.”
Vincent was also extremely worried, his hostile gaze fixed on Elvira.
Elvira was left speechless by her family. “Judy suspected my videos were fake,” she said. “Now, someone is helping me prove they’re genuine, and that’s my intention to drive her to death? When she framed me and led the entire country’s netizens to cyberbully me, wasn’t her goal to drive me to death? So, in your eyes, it’s wrong for me to even prove my innocence? You guys are really ridiculous.”
“She fainted, huh?” Elvira continued. “Isn’t there a doctor here? Doc, you can make this patient come around, right?” She looked at the doctor, thinking, Judy, want to run off, huh? No way! I’m going to let you have a taste of despair today.
The female doctor nodded. “It’s just a fainting spell due to emotional distress. I brought a needle; I’ll give her an acupuncture point injection, and she’ll be fine. Please make some room and let me administer the injection.”
After saying that, the female doctor took out a thin needle and walked toward Judy. Members of the Willis family tried to stop her, but they were forcefully pulled away. When the female doctor reached Judy, Judy opened her eyes with a long groan. She pretended to look confused and asked, “What happened?”
Everyone was left speechless. ‘She comes around just in time,’ everyone thought. One more second late, and she would have been injected. Her acting skills are quite exaggerated!
At the same time, the results of the criminal investigation unit’s verification were in. The technicians handed the results to Kenneth.
Kenneth looked at the results and announced, “The result of the verification indicates that the videos provided by Ms. Willis are authentic and valid. There’s no trace of falsification.”
At this point, the truth was completely revealed: Judy had framed Elvira.
Amber watched as her daughter, whom she raised with affection, was despised by everyone. She was distraught. She stood up and pointed at Elvira, scolding, “Elvira, I’ve raised you since your teens. Judy has always treated you as her own sister. How can you ruin her reputation like this?”
Elvira glanced at her indifferently and said disdainfully, “Your daughter is the other woman, and you’re the old other woman! How about you explain today why my parents divorced when I was twelve, yet Judy is only a year younger than me? Like mother, like daughter, right? The love for being the other woman must run in the family!”
Amber comes forward to let me counterattack, so of course I won’t hold back! Elvira thought.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Amber scolded angrily.
“Oh, so you’re saying that Judy is not my dad’s biological daughter, huh?” Elvira asked indifferently.
A trace of fluster flashed across Amber’s eyes. She retorted vehemently, “Judy is of course a child of the Willis family!” Elvira caught the fluster. She pondered for a moment and said, “In that case, you are the other woman of my father’s. Your daughter is the other woman of Calvin’s!”
Vincent was so angry that his face turned pale. He scolded Elvira, saying, “Rebellious daughter, shut up! Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? You’ve messed up a good party! How come I have such a disobedient daughter like you?”
Elvira ignored him.
After this night, the Willis family became the laughingstock of Jersten.
Karen was still the calmest person in the banquet hall. She said coldly, “Elvira, you’re also a member of the Willis family. You share in our glory and our shame. Your actions serve you no good. This party today doesn’t welcome a selfish person like you who lacks a sense of the big picture. Please leave!”
Elvira was amazed by her grandmother’s unabashed mental fortitude. Despite the situation, she still pretended that nothing had happened and wanted the party to continue. Naturally, Elvira did not want to be outdone in terms of being unabashed. She smiled and said, “I’ll leave after I’ve done what I want to do, but not now.”
