Zachary Lawrence's body began to shake violently, sweat soaking his back.

"I... I don't know! Brother, how would I know about something like that!" he denied desperately.


"You don't know?" Ethan's tone was filled with mockery. "The night before the accident, you were sneaking around in my garage for half an hour. Don't tell me you were
washing my car."

Zachary's pupils suddenly contracted: "You... how did you know!"


"If you want to keep a secret, don't do it in the first place." Ethan's voice wasn't loud, but carried a chilling edge. "I had a pinhole camera installed in my car."

The last trace of color drained from Zachary's face.


He collapsed to the ground as if all strength had been sucked from his body.

"No... it wasn't me..." he was still making his last struggle, "It was mother! Mother told me to do it! She said she just wanted to teach you a lesson, she didn't want your life!"

He unhesitatingly threw his own mother under the bus.

Victoria Lawrence, the well-maintained socialite standing beside Henry Lawrence, now turned pale, pointing at Zachary Lawrence, trembling with rage.

"You... you unfilial son! What nonsense are you talking!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zachary Lawrence, as if grasping at the last straw, hysterically shouted, "It was you! You were jealous that big brother was more excellent than me, jealous that dad always favored him! You told me that if big brother fell, the entire Lawrence family would be mine! You were the one who arranged to sabotage the brakes!"
This dramatic scene of a wealthy family's internal conflict left all the guests present stunned.

Henry Lawrence was so angry that his vision darkened, clutching his chest, he could barely stand.

"Bastard! You... you..."



"Dad, please don't be angry." Ethan Lawrence walked over and supported him, his voice showing no emotion, "Now, do you finally believe what I told you before?"

Henry Lawrence looked at him, his eyes filled with extreme complexity.

So this was Ethan Lawrence's purpose for asking him to bring me to the party last night.

He had planned everything in advance.

He wanted to reveal this ugly truth in front of everyone, ensuring that Zachary Lawrence and his mother would never recover from this disgrace.

"Guards!" Henry Lawrence finally roared, "Arrest these two rebellious sons and this poisonous woman!"

The security guards immediately rushed forward, seizing the collapsed Zachary Lawrence and the broken Victoria Lawrence.

Victoria Lawrence was still screaming: "Henry! You can't do this to me! I gave you a son! Zachary is your own flesh and blood!"

Henry Lawrence closed his eyes, his face filled with pain.

As for Luna Johnson, from the moment Ethan Lawrence appeared, she had been hiding in the corner, praying to be forgotten.

But Ethan Lawrence clearly hadn't forgotten about her.

His gaze fell coldly upon her.

「And you.」

Luna Johnson trembled all over, raised her head, her face filled with fear.

「Ethan... Brother Ethan...」

「Don't call me that, I find it disgusting.」Ethan Lawrence walked up to her, looking down at her with contempt,「I heard that you encouraged my dear brother to arrange for my "useless
』 wife to stay in the room next to his?」

Luna was so frightened that she kept shaking her head: "No... it wasn't me..."

「You dare to lie?」I coldly spoke up, taking out my phone from my handbag and playing a recording.

From it came the conversation between her and Zachary Lawrence in the adjacent room on our wedding night.

「Brother Zachary, do you think that Jade is probably crying over a living corpse right now? It's absolutely hilarious.」

「...He's just a vegetable. Once Dad completely hands the company over to me, I'll throw both of them out. They're eyesores.」

The recording echoed clearly throughout the quiet venue.

Each sentence was like a resounding slap, striking hard across the faces of Luna Johnson and Zachary Lawrence who had been dragged to the doorway.

Luna's face turned from white to blue, then from blue to red—a spectacular display of emotions.

"You... you actually recorded it!" She pointed at me, utterly furious.

"Yes, I did." I admitted frankly. "How else would everyone know how disgusting you two are behind closed doors?"

Ethan Lawrence looked at me, a glint of approval flashing in his dark eyes.

He didn't spare Luna another glance, and simply instructed the security guards beside him coldly: "Throw her out too. From now on, I don't want to see this face in the Capital Elite Circle again."

"Yes, young master."

Luna was carried out by two security guards holding her arms, dragged like a dead dog, while she continued cursing incessantly.

A grand anniversary celebration had turned into a live broadcast of a scandal among the elite.

As the farce concluded, the guests tactfully began to take their leave one after another.

In the vast banquet hall, soon only a few of us remained.

Henry Lawrence seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, sitting wearily in his chair.

I stood beside Ethan Lawrence, looking at the mess all around, yet feeling little turbulence in my heart.

This was just the beginning.

Ethan gripped my hand, his palm warm and dry.

He lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Well done."

I looked up at him, meeting his smiling eyes.

"You too."

Our alliance had achieved a tactical victory tonight.

But we both knew that the real war had only just begun.

Victoria Lawrence and Zachary Lawrence had been detained, but the forces behind them, as well as the watchful Jiang family, would not let matters rest.
