Chapter 185
Sharon was so terrified that she e was unable to utter a word.
Philip realized something was wrong. He turned to Sharon and demanded, "You were evasive when I asked you earlier! Now, explain why you insist on having your brother attend the family banquet. What were both of you planning?!"
"Phil... Let me explain. It's not what you think..."
Sharon tried to explain, but Philip brushed off her hand and said, "Were you thinking of harming Maeve again? Speak!"
"It has nothing to do with me! I really didn't know!" Sharon frantically waved her hands in fear.
Hearing Sharon's words, Gordon quickly spoke up, "Sharon! Please beg Philip to save me! I don't want to be taken away! Save me!"
"Shut your mouth! It was your lust that caused this. What does it have to do with me?"
Sharon's words made Philip instantly understand what had happened.
"You! How dare you?!"
Philip angrily exploded while Sharon quickly said, "Listen to me, Phil!"
By this time, Maeve and Lyra had also entered the Scott Manor and witnessed the chaos. Zion's men were still searching the place. Seeing Maeve, Sharon became even paler.
When Philip saw Maeve arrive, he approached her and told Sharon, "Explain it properly in front of Maeve! I want an explanation!"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Frightened, Sharon hastily pointed at Gordon kneeling on the ground and said, "My brother has been divorced twice already, which makes it hard for him to find a wife. Since I thought Maeve and Sergio were also getting divorced, I figured it'd be great for our family if these two could get together."
She cowered and added, "Moreover, Maeve has already been divorced once, and the divorce was from Sergio. I fear no one else will want her after that, and she would be well-matched with my brother..." "Disgusting!" Lyra angrily interjected, "Well-matched? How can you even say that? Aren't you ashamed?!"
Sharon's face turned beet red, but she shamelessly defended herself, "L... I was also thinking of her marriage. It was a mutual agreement.... Maeve, why did you bring someone here to embarrass your own family?"
"A mutual agreement? I didn't even know when you drugged me, and now you claim it was mutual consent?" Maeve scoffed. "What?" Philip looked shocked as he asked, "Maeve, is that true?" "Uncle Phil, I wouldn't falsely accuse her. She took away my phone and locked me in the room. If I hadn't threatened them with my life, their scheme would have likely succeeded."
"You're talking nonsense! Do you even have proof? It was clearly after you got caught that you felt ashamed and tried to blame us!" Sha retorted.
At that moment, a bodyguard's voice suddenly rang out from a distance, "Sir! W
We've found it!'
Sharon
The bodyguard handed Maeve's phone and a small vial of pills to Zion. At this moment, Sharon's face drastically changed. She had already instructed someone to dispose of these items! She wondered how these items could still be left behind.
The maid who had previously led Maeve upstairs was brought forward, and Sharon was no longer as righteous as she had been earlier. Zion threw the vial on the g
the ground and said coldly, "You want evidence? Here it is!"
Philip was almost driven mad. "Did you really do this?"
"Phil, this was all my brother's idea. It has nothing to do with
Gordon responded, "Sharon! How can you deny that? Clearly, you said Ms. Scott was beautiful, and you wanted to help me matchmake! Why are you turning your back on me now? Do you really want me dead?!"
Everyone in this social circle knew what offending Zion could lead to. Gordon wasn't ready to die! He wouldn't want to be the scapegoat!
