Chapter 137 The Truth on Screen

James didn’t like wasting words on people who couldn’t see the truth.

He preferred letting the evidence speak for itself.

He didn’t even look at the furious Ginger brothers, nor at Mathilda, who cried like the whole world had wronged her. Instead, he turned to Ashton, who had just parked the car, and gave a crisp order.

“Pull up the surveillance footage near the fountain.”

I want to know exactly how Mathilda ended up in the water.”

Mathilda’s expression changed instantly.

The Ginger family trusted her blindly. They always believed whatever she said. Tonight, when she accused Lily of pushing her into the fountain, she’d been certain they wouldn’t even think to check the footage.

But now James wanted to look at the footage…

If Ashton really got the video, all her lies would be exposed.

Then what would her brothers think? What would James think of her?

She couldn’t let them

te it. Tears streaming down her face, she looked at James pitifully. James… you don’t believe me? I don’t even know how to swim–I almost drowned just now. I’m still so cold… so cold..1 don’t want to make my sister upset. I won’t hold Lily accountable. But she really did push me into the fountain. She…”

James cut her off coldly, showing no mercy. “Are we that close? Why should I believe you? You’re still breathing, still playing the victim–looks like you didn’t drown after all. So what exactly are you upset about?”

“…”

Mathilda trembled so hard she looked like a leaf in a storm. For a long time, she couldn’t even form a

sentence.

Jonah and Sean couldn’t stand hearing Mathilda humiliated like thats

Their fists clenched so tightly their knuckles cracked. It looked like they were one second away from tearing Jaines apart.

“James, what the hell are you saying? How could you accuse Mathilda of faking it? You treat our sister like this–are you trying to cut ties with us?”

Back in their student days, James used to go out to eat with the Ginger brothers all the time.

Back then, they shared similar interests.

But now…

He realized that their values no longer aligned.

So even if they did cut ties–it wouldn’t matter.

“Lily, apologize to Mathilda!”

Sean barked sharply, his voice like a whip. “You’ve hurt my sister again and again. You deserve to die. Apologize! Admit what you did!”

Sean’s voice was too harsh, too piercing to ignore.

Once, Lily had cared deeply for him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have begged on her knees for his safety.

But that heartbreak was long over.

Now, hearing him coldly accuse her again, she no longer felt gutted or torn apart.

She only felt that this world… was absurd and cruel.

Those who were selfish and false were treated like treasures and trusted without question.

Those who gave their hearts were insulted, hated, doubted, and betrayed.

1. Lily, no longer have any brothers.

James ignored Sean’s anger. When he saw him charging forward to force Lily to apologize, James silently stepped in front of her, shielding her.

This villa district belonged to the Luke family.

And Ashton was efficient. Getting the surveillance footage was easy.

Just as Sean was about to lunge at Lily again. Ashton quickly handed the phone to James.

“Here’s the video.”

“Mm”

James tapped the screen calmly, then turned the phone to show it to the Ginger brothers.

On–screen, it was clear: Mathilda said something to Lily. Lily didn’t even bother replying. Then, suddenly. Mathilda turned and threw herself into the fountain.

It was all there—plain as day. Lily never touched her.

It was obviously a setup–Mathilda had framed her.
