After all, it was five years ago, and Cindy Clarke had no evidence.

If Cindy could claim that they had tricked her, Christy could also say that Cindy had not.

“Heh!” laughed Cindy coldly, “You really think I don’t have any evidence?”

Cindy took out her mobile phone and played a video clip.

“This is a security footage I obtained from the hotel. With this evidence, I could sue you, but I didn’t call the police because you are family,” Cindy said.

“I thought you might feel some guilt.” Cindy sneered, “But I never expected that the only thing you would do after I told the truth was to keep denying it.”

“You haven’t even said a single word of apology for the trap you set for me, the sacrifices I made. Instead, you accuse me of slander?”

Cindy shoved the phone right in front of Joshua Clarke’s face.

Joshua reached out to grab it, but Cindy didn’t give it to him.

She held the mobile phone tightly in her hand.

If the phone was handed to Joshua, Christy would snatch it away.

But even if Cindy held onto it, it was enough for Joshua to see it clearly.

The video that Cindy showed him was the hotel security footage.

When Cindy fled in panic back then, she was afraid that Christy and Wendy would find out.

She was so panicked that she didn’t even think about asking for the security footage from the hotel at the time.

Moreover, she was only 19 at the time, being so decisive was already rare.

She couldn’t have thought of everything back then.

Adrian Zhekova suspected that Cindy was the girl from five years ago, so he had Sheldon Rowland check and obtain the footage.

Although the footage was five years old, the hotel staff would be too lazy to look for it.

But when Sheldon went, it was a different story.

He got the surveillance footage just like that.

Adrian gave the video to Cindy.

Worried that Joshua and Christy might recognize it, Cindy had deleted all parts related to Adrian.

Yet, the footage still clearly showed Christy and Wendy, one on each side, supporting an obviously unconscious Cindy.

“Dad, you can take a closer look at the top right corner, where the date is clearly displayed. It was the day before I left, five years ago,” said Cindy.

As expected, Christy tried to snatch the mobile phone away.

“Fake! It’s all fake!” Christy shouted as she reached out to grab Cindy’s mobile phone.

Fortunately, Cindy was prepared.

As soon as she saw Christy’s move, she took back her phone and put it in her jacket pocket.

Efficiently zipping up the pocket to ensure that Christy couldn’t steal it.

At this point, the eyes of Joshua Clarke were red with anger.

“Mom, Wendy and I are both your daughters. I can understand if you favor one over the other. Among the five fingers in a hand, there must be longer and shorter ones. When a family has many children, it’s inevitable that parents slightly prefer one over the other. But you can’t be this biased!”

You sold me out, and then took the money to be with Wendy. You covered up for her and never thought about how I would feel. I was in college back then, and because of this, I couldn’t even finish my studies!”

“Dad, you ask me why I left. My family had two people who were constantly plotting against me to exchange me for money. If I didn’t leave, I would have lost more than just being sold. I might not even be able to protect my own life!”

“I never thought my own mother would harm me for the sake of another child! I’ve been used to you not caring about me since I was little, but I never thought you would hurt me like this!”

“You not only hurt me but also denied it. You took the money I had exchanged for you and started a grand restaurant at home, enjoying the life of a wealthy lady!” Cindy said loudly.

“Pah! Where did you get the money? You didn’t!” Mr. Lopez didn’t pay because Cindy had run away!

It wasn’t the money exchanged for Cindy!

It was clearly… clearly exchanged by Wendy.

But Christy couldn’t say it.

If she said it, she would not only expose Wendy but also admit to selling Cindy.

But without saying it, would she have to swallow this injustice?

That money… that money was clearly exchanged by Wendy!

It was Wendy who had accompanied Mr. Lopez to get the money.

How did it become Cindy’s merit!

Christy hated Cindy to the bone.

This girl has always been cunning!

Before, Christy could control Cindy.

But she didn’t expect that after five years, Cindy would become even more cunning!

Christy found out that she was no match for Cindy.

This wretched girl had never been likable!

And now, she was driving Christy crazy with hate!

Swallowing this undeserved injustice, Wendy’s efforts turned into nothing.

Christy couldn’t stand the grievance, and her hatred for Cindy seemed to take on physical form.

Joshua turned around and saw Christy’s reaction clearly.

Even if he was weak-willed and indecisive,

He knew at this moment that what Cindy said was true.

Christy and Wendy had once teamed up to set Cindy up like this.

This was a matter of a girl’s innocence!

Joshua suddenly raised his hand high.

“Smack!” With a slap, Joshua struck Christy hard.

Unprepared, Christy was knocked to the ground.

Joshua was truly furious at this point.

Therefore, he didn’t hold back any of his strength in his slap.

As a big man, Joshua had the advantage of strength.

Plus, he spent most of his life in the kitchen, flipping and stirring with a spatula.

The strength he developed was greater than that of an ordinary person.

That slap nearly knocked out Christy’s teeth.

Even if they weren’t knocked out, she felt her teeth wobble.

Her mouth tasted of blood.

Her cheek swelled up immediately.

Christy lay on the ground, covering her face.

She slowly looked up at Joshua.

The shock, disbelief, and the mix of emotions were extremely complex in her eyes and face.

So shocked that her actions were surprisingly slow, as if she were in a dream.

The slap left her ears ringing.

“You hit me?” Christy stared at Joshua in disbelief.

Joshua was known to be an honest person throughout his life.

Otherwise, why would Christy marry him if he was not honest and easily manipulated?

Usually, Joshua was not much of a talker, swinging between decisions and lacking determination.

Yet, he still held the position of the head of the family.

Therefore, when Christy and Wendy discussed their plans to harm Cindy behind his back, Joshua was never included.

While Joshua was at home, Christy was biased but dared not be too hard on Cindy.

Because Joshua was watching them.

But Christy also knew Joshua’s bottom line.

As long as she didn’t act too outrageously in front of Joshua, he wouldn’t say anything.
