"Vincent and Sean are about the sa age and both sons of the Warner family. They’re not inferior to each other in any aspect; everyone thinks they’ll be strong rivals. But in reality, the two brothers have a very good relationship and have never had any conflicts over the position of Warner family heir."
Reading this, Audrey Sutton felt that what the person said made sense, because her brother said the sa thing,
"But the public doesn’t see it that way, so after Sean’s accident, many people naturally linked it to Vincent. However, he absolutely couldn’t be the one to do such a thing to Sean. Of course, this wasn’t a simple traffic accident; it was a murder, and one that stemd from a love affair."
Audrey Sutton furrowed her brows slightly, aning to say... this was a cri of passion?
"What I’m about to say next might be a bit cruel for you right now, but this is the truth. You have the right to know, and how you choose to deal with it is up to you."
The more Audrey Sutton listened, the more confused she beca, unable to understand how it was cruel to her. It was Sean Warner’s brother who died. While she felt regretful, it hadn’t reached the level of so-called ’cruelty.’
Puzzled, she continued listening as the man revealed several photos, all of the sa girl.
Audrey Sutton recognized her as the wife from the couple she had t with Shane Warner in Serephina at that ti.
The chanical voice from the computer said, "It’s because of this girl."
"Your brother always gives people the impression of being gentle and easygoing, soone who doesn’t fight or compete. I’m sure he has this image with you all as well, and he’s been packaging himself with this false persona for a long ti..."
Hearing this, Audrey Sutton frowned tightly, clearly not wanting to hear bad things about her brother from a man who didn’t even dare to show his face.
"Ivy was considered the goddess of our departnt. She always liked your brother but never confessed because she was timid and shy. However, because they worked together in the student council, rumors about your brother and Ivy often circulated at school, as if everyone had assud they were together."
Audrey Sutton had heard about this before, and it matched what she had heard previously, confirming that the person in the video was not making it up. At least this part of the information was correct.
"Sean really liked Ivy, but because of her relationship with your brother, he never dared to confess to her. Later, so classmates asked about Ivy’s relationship with your brother, and your brother said they were just ordinary friends. So, just before graduation, Sean confessed to Ivy..."
In the video, the man’s voice deepened as he took a deep breath, "And it was because of this that your brother’s true nature ca to light."
"He enjoyed the rumors with Ivy but never clarified his relationship with her. In his heart, he had already assud that Ivy was his woman, so when he found out about Sean’s confession to Ivy, he felt betrayed by Sean for taking his woman away... Hence, he orchestrated the car accident..."
As she saw this, lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a rumbling of thunder. Audrey Sutton froze as if analyzing the ins and outs of this matter, trying to find flaws to refute what the man had said.
She couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe her brother was such a person...
Rewinding to read this part again, Audrey Sutton realized that everything seed to make sense, and it roughly matched what she had heard from Ivy and her husband before, except for this last part...
Audrey Sutton’s heart raced fast, desperately trying to find a loophole, but in the video, the man presented a lot of evidence.
For instance, on the night of the gathering, Stephen Sutton was late, and surveillance captured him tipping a hotel waiter. The man’s narrative in the video was that Stephen Sutton used the tip as a way to bribe hotel staff, resulting in the loss of garage surveillance, and he had appeared in the garage before Sean Warner went to get his car. What he did in the garage, only the missing footage could tell.
Watching the man present so much evidence in the video, Audrey Sutton felt shocked and incredulous. She couldn’t believe her brother was such a person, but all the evidence seed to point towards her brother.
Moreover, her brother had explicitly said before that he firmly believed Vincent didn’t do it. Why was he so convinced? Could it be because he was the one behind everything?
No... It’s impossible.
Her brother was always kind to others; how could he do such a thing?
This person must be slandering him! This can’t be the truth; it definitely isn’t...
Audrey Sutton felt a little panicked inside. If all of this were true, and Shane Warner found out that his brother’s death was caused by her brother, he would surely hate her and possibly the entire Sutton family...
She knew how deep Shane Warner’s affection was for his brother and how much he couldn’t let go of his brother’s death. If he really found the culprit, he wouldn’t spare him.
So she sat blankly in front of her computer for a long ti, her mind chaotic, thinking about all the bad outcos.
"Dingdong—" Her phone on the table rang, startling her, making her body tremble. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the rain-soaked dress she hadn’t changed out of or the shocking content of the video, but her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the phone.
Seeing Shane Warner’s WhatsApp na on the screen, her emotions surged even more.
Opening the ssage, she saw he said, "Faye Xavier ntioned the bubble tea shop has a new product today. Do you want so? I’ll ask him to send it over."
Audrey Sutton took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm, not to lose her composure, not to jump to conclusions based on one person’s words.
She pretended nothing had happened, replying to Shane Warner, "I do want so, but it’s such heavy rain; it’s too troubleso for Brother Xavier to make the trip."
Shane Warner: "I pay him such a high salary; delivering bubble tea shouldn’t be an inconvenience for him?"
Audrey Sutton: "Then I’ll be waiting at ho~"
Putting down the phone, Audrey Sutton stared at the USB drive plugged into her computer. She wasn’t sure how much of its content was true or false, but she knew she absolutely couldn’t let Shane Warner see it.
She hurriedly pulled out the USB drive, glanced around, and felt it wasn’t safe to hide it anywhere.
Walking downstairs, she threw the USB drive into a paper cup, soaked it in hot water, and then, fearing there might be special thods to recover its contents, she searched through Shane Warner’s toolbox, found a small hamr, smashed the USB drive into tiny pieces, wrapped it in a tissue, grabbed an umbrella, went out, and threw it into a garbage bin quite far from the house, finally feeling a bit more at ease.
But this was only temporary; the truth will always co to light. She was afraid that person might send everything directly to Shane Warner.
So, she had to hurry up and investigate the matter from back then, find the real culprit, and clear her brother’s na, which was the only real solution.
