Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 17

Ruby was chatting with several ladies about Clara degeneration when her sharp eyes caught sight of Clara returning to the banquet hall. She smiled a cold smile.

This woman was so pitiful, even after being humiliated like that, she unexpectedly still had the courage to come back!

Before Ruby could speak, Mrs. Sandon dragged Clara over and said, “You slapped Ms. Leke more than a dozen times. Do you intend to just end matters like this? Apologize to her!”

“She is a mistress and should be beaten. Why should I apologize to her?” Clara said without hesitation, flinging Mrs. Sandon’s hand away.

In comparison to her wretched state earlier, the current Clara was dazzling and assertive.

Ruby didn’t know how Clara had become so emboldened after going to the toilet and said in an injured tone, “Clara, we’re friends, why are you trying to slander me with the sort of things you’ve done?”

Before Ethan had also declared that Clara was just his female companion.

“Slander?” Clara sneered and approached Ruby. “Do you dare swear to everyone that as my good friend, you never seduced my ex-husband. That you don’t have a three-year-old child with him?”

Her bright and cold eyes made Ruby shiver, and she pushed Clara away. “Why would I swear about something that I haven’t done?”

Clara said coldly, “You don’t dare swear because you have a guilty conscience! “

“...”

“Clara, it is clear to me and to the others” Mrs. Sandon said, standing by Ruby Leke’s side, “You cheated on your husband. You are lowly and shameless. I believe Ms. Leke is not that kind of person!”

“Really? “ Clara raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. “I have got an interesting video and will show it for everyone to enjoy. “

When she finished, the large screen in the center of the banquet hall suddenly lit up.

Soon, a scene appeared on the white screen. First, it was the scene of Steve and Ruby talking in the hotel. Everyone was able to clearly hear the conversation between the two.

“You are so cruel that you didn’t even leave a penny for Clara. I heard that the medicine her grandmother uses is awfully expensive!”

“She’s an old lady, better that she dies.”

“Steve Lane, are you so cruel that you even dared to take action against your foster parents? “

“...”

The scene changed to Steve arriving at a villa. Ruby brought a child out, and the child ran towards Steve, shouting sweetly, “Daddy!”

The video was only a little longer than ten seconds, but it was extremely exciting. Half of the people at the party were stunned.

Clara held her dress as she walked step by step onto the stage. She stood in front of the microphone. “I believe that everyone has seen this video projected. Yes, the Rowan family’s adopted son, and the man that I loved for more than 10 years, not only had much earlier started an affair with my best friend, but he also framed me, in the end pushing me into an infidelity.”

As soon as Steve had time to react, he immediately called someone to turn off the projector. He still had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were frowning.

Clara was left with nothing after their divorce, how did she have the ability to obtain this video?

Could it be...

Steve found Ethan in the crowd conversing with some president standing next to him. His expression was cold, as if he wasn’t interested in Clara.

Steve started to feel as if he was overthinking it. A person like Ethan Preston would look down on Clara.

“Steve, what should we do?” Clara’s sudden move had made Ruby panic, “How did she know about this......”

Steve glanced at her and Ruby immediately swallowed the rest of her sentence.

“Clara, are you trying to use these two edited videos to take revenge on me? “ Steve raised his voice so that the guests could hear what he said. “You said I killed your parents and framed you, causing you to leave our marriage with nothing. Where’s the evidence? “
