Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1377

Once Elysia was locked up, Sabrina planned to use the Stevenson family's influence to pin all the blame on her. If the charges stuck, no one would be able to save Elysia.

But Elysia knew exactly what Sabrina was up to. She rolled her eyes, pressed her lips together, and turned to the officers. “I’m being set up,” she said calmly. “And I have proof.”

First, Elysia played an audio recording of a phone call between her and Sabrina. Then, right in front of everyone, she showed video footage of Sabrina sneaking out with the stolen virus samples. To top it off, she played a clip Benjamin had provided—evidence from their team meeting the night before.

These weren’t just words. Unlike Sabrina’s sketchy witnesses, Elysia’s evidence was solid.

Victor, Sabrina’s grandfather, watched the video of her stealing the samples. He froze, his breath caught in his throat, utterly speechless.

Sabrina was visibly rattled. It took her a moment to recover, and she finally screeched, “That’s fake! It has to be fake! The security cameras were down that night—how could you possibly have video?”

She glared at Elysia, her voice rising. “This is all a setup! Elysia is framing me!”

Elysia’s brows knit tightly together. “Whether the video is real or not, the police will have their experts verify it. So, good luck trying to deny it.”

She stepped closer, voice steady and strong. “If you really thought I stole your research notes and wasn’t up to the task, why did you keep trying to recruit me into your virus project? You’re Victor’s granddaughter, but instead of supporting Dr. Benjamin’s reasonable proposals, you shot them down. Is that really how the Stevenson family should use its influence?”

“And as a doctor, you’re supposed to save lives. How can you call yourself a physician if you don’t care about your patients?”

Elysia’s words left Sabrina gasping, at a complete loss for what to say.

He had asked her, time and again, if she was telling the truth after she filed the report. She’d always denied it—just moments ago, she was still denying it. Now…

Victor’s heart couldn’t take it. Pain seized his chest, and suddenly he slumped forward, unconscious.

Elysia rushed to his side. “Victor!”

Sabrina, catching this over the video call, broke down sobbing. “Grandpa! Grandpa! Elysia, you bitch, if anything happens to my grandpa, I’ll kill you! Grandpa…”

The police frowned and quickly cut the video feed. Victor’s collapse—who caused it, really? Sabrina still had the nerve to blame someone else!
