This time, Celia did not hesitate and gathered all of the evidence she had into this recording, including the thing Adrian said to her and how they plotted to frame Rianna…to the extent that Adrian encouraged Michael to hurt Granny Lynch a year ago. In it was also how Adrian used Joshua's name to borrow money from people half a year ago.
Celia recorded nearly everything Adrian said to her in the house.
Adrian's face paled as he heard the recording. He bit his lip and clenched his hands into fists, and the nerves on his face protruded. "Celia Giles! How dare you do this to me? Did you record every single damn word I said to you?"
Celia sneered, "Record? Do you think I'm that free to do it?"
She gazed at him and shot him a cold smirk. "Have you forgotten there are surveillance cameras in the house? I was afraid you'd steal the money and spend it, so I changed the hard disk to a new one every month for the past years. I'd simply run through the old footage once and leave it at the warehouse. It wasn't long until the warehouse was full of all these hard disks."
She smiled coldly and continued, "Can you remember? The warehouse is the one you said you give to me out of charity—the same one you chased me into with all that rubbish in it! I took all of the hard disks inside with me, thinking that if you changed your mind, then I wouldn't bother. You insisted on breaking up with me and throwing me out of the house, so I'll show the public who you really are by sharing this footage with everyone."
She glared at Adrian condescendingly. "I gave you a chance, but what did you do?
"You sent people to beat me up repeatedly and disallowed me from coming close to you! Adrian Lynch, you deserve everything happening now! This is your karma!"
Her ruthless words deeply shook Adrian. Unconsciously, he stumbled a few steps behind. His mouth was wide open and his face was pale. He looked at Celia as if he had something to say, but there was not a word he could utter.
For many years, he had been plotting against Rianna and Celia. Never in his wildest dreams, however, did he think he would end up being ruined by Celia, an uneducated country woman!
"Blergh!" He took another step back and spurted out a mouthful of blood before staggering and falling with his head leaning back.
'I'm doomed… I'm finished…'
