Chapter 304

“Owen, you’re completely senile,” Sarah groaned, shaking her head in dismay.

Kyle tilted her chin up. “Joshua, did you hear that? The woman you like admitted being with another man. If you still stay with her, it just proves your judgment is awful.”

Sharmaine actually laughed out loud. “Roy, come here,” she said calmly.

Roy stepped forward.

Shermaine said, “Tell them what I bought when we were at the jewelry store.”

“She took my advice and picked a platinum ring she knew Joshua would love,” Roy said, rubbing his nose sheepishly. “Look, isn’t he wearing it now?”

“Joshua, I helped her choose that ring. You like it, right?” Roy added. This ring was simple yet elegant.

Joshua nodded.

Of course, he did. Roy, his lifelong buddy, knew his taste.

Sarah couldn’t fathom that Shermaine had been buying their wedding ring. And the “other man” was Joshua’s own friend?

Sarah said, “How do I know you’re telling the truth?”

“Don’t believe me? Let’s check the security footage. Give me five minutes, I’ll pull it up,” Shermaine said.

Sarah went silent.

Shermaine turned to Roy. “And why did we go to the hotel today?”

“Lily’s jerk ex drugged her to assault her,” Roy explained. “Shermaine rushed to rescue her. I was handling something near Basterel University, so I tagged along for the ride.”

He added before Sarah could interject, “Hotel staff can back us up, and there’s security footage. I can provide both.”

“You slandered Shermaine’s reputation out of thin air,” Roy snapped. “You even dragged me, an innocent bachelor, into this. You two need to apologize now.”

Shermaine turned to Kylie and Sarah. “You heard it, ladies.”

How could they not feel embarrassed? All their preconceived “truths” had been completely demolished.

Shermaine hadn’t been with any men. Those were just their wild fantasies.

Kylie took the blow the hardest.

Sarah, desperate to save face, insisted, “Then produce the evidence.”

“I’m the witness,” Lily whispered weakly, propped up by Roy.

The drugs had left her exhausted and needing rest.

They ignored the very victim Shermaine had rescued.

Roy didn’t waste time. He had Joshua bring a laptop, and five minutes later, the evidence was projected.

Now the accusers were speechless.

“Apologize,” Roy demanded firmly.

But neither moved.

Sarah, as an elder, refused to apologize to young people even if it was a misunderstanding. She thought they were disrespectful for pressing the issue.

Kylie, meanwhile, saw apologizing as beneath her. ‘Bowing to Shermaine? Out of the question,’ she thought.

Joshua had enough. “Logan, show them out.”

Sarah’s face fell. “Joshua, you’re really throwing me out?”

“Escort them,” he said flatly.

“Yes, Mr. Joshua York,” Logan said.

Sarah turned to Owen. “Owen, you can’t mean to throw me out too?”

“Did you ignore every word I said earlier?” Owen said.

Sarah was speechless.

She’d assumed they’d spare her dignity, but as Joshua had warned, they’d wildly overestimated their place.
