Chapter 318 Blow After Blow

A slight smile touched Rhys’s lips when he saw me. ‘You came.‘

He quickly got out of the car and came to my side. ‘Mirabelle… you still trust me,

then.‘

‘I don’t trust you. I just want to see what game you’re playing,‘ I said, my voice cold.

“That’s alright. You’ll believe that I’m not playing games this time. You’ll believe coming to lunch with me was worth it. Where would you like to go?‘ His eyes were soft, his tone gentle.

‘The restaurant across the road,‘ I said. I was only here for the truth, not for him.

‘Alright.‘

The restaurant was fairly busy. I asked for a private booth.

Once we’d ordered, I got straight to the point. ‘Where’s this proof you mentioned?‘

‘Are you really in that much of a hurry?‘ Rhys looked at me with wounded eyes, but I felt nothing.

‘Yes, I’m in a hurry to find out what you’re scheming. I also don’t want to be here with you. You know that. If

you hadn’t said it was about this, I would never have come.‘

Rhys gave a bitter smile. ‘Fine. I understand.‘ He handed me a folder. ‘Someone gave this to me. See for

yourself. There are some photos in there, too.‘

He pointed to a picture of a man. “This guy’s a low–level hustler. Does nothing all day, but his computer skills

are decent. He makes a living from shady jobs. If you pay him, he’ll do pretty much anything. He’s the one who

hacked into your studio’s network and messed with your database and job sheets.‘

I looked at the photo. The man was maybe in his late twenties, and completely unfamiliar. I was sure I’d never

seen him before.

‘This isn’t enough proof,‘ I said. “This could just be a random guy’s photo you downloaded online.‘

‘Wait, there’s more.‘ Rhys tapped his phone. ‘I just sent you a video.‘

I opened it on my own phone. In the clip, the hacker confessed to altering my studio’s orders.

‘How did you get this? And how can you prove this man wasn’t hired by Catherine?‘

‘Look at these.‘ Rhys sent me another file.

It was a record of transactions. Payments received by the hacker, sent by a middleman, who in turn got the

money from…

‘Genevieve,‘ I muttered.

Rhys nodded. “That’s right. The hacker never met Genevieve face to face, but the money he was paid ultimately

came from her.‘

My chest felt tight, my heart pounding with anger and disappointment.

So, the person Rhys said Ashton was protecting… it was Genevieve?

‘Are you saying the person who wanted to hurt me is Genevieve, not Catherine? Then why did Catherine

confess?‘ I asked, my eyes fixed on him.

Seeing that I was finally starting to believe him, Rhys gave a faint, humourless laugh. ‘For money. She’d do anything for money.‘ His smile was cynical. ‘Ashton paid her to take the blame.‘

‘That’s not possible,‘ I shot back.

Rhys’s expression shifted to one of pained sympathy. ‘Do you care about him that much? You won’t even believe solid evidence right in front of you?‘

‘He’s my husband. Of course I care about him.‘

My heart was trembling, aching. Why would Ashton protect Genevieve like this?

‘Why should I believe you? You say Ashton paid Catherine and she just agreed? How do you even know that?

You’re divorced. And besides, Ashton said he’d hand Catherine over to the police. Would she really take money just to go to prison?‘ A part of me was still desperately trying to defend him, hoping everything Rhys said was a

lie.

‘You think Ashton actually called the police?‘ Rhys’s tone was mocking. ‘Look… see who this is? Isn’t it Catherine? She left Skyline last night. This is her at the airport. You think Ashton would really hand her over?

You’re so naive.‘

He continued, ‘I’m telling you, he lied to you. He never called the police. He gave Catherine ten million. Quite generous, really. Ten million, just like that. You know Catherine as well as I do. She’s vain. When we divorced, she fought me for every penny because it was never enough for her. She doesn’t even have a job now. How long
