Chapter 368 Preston Who Revelled in Others' Misfortune
The situation reversed too quickly. In the span of a few words, the pressure had shifted to the William family's side.
This move of Hedy's, she learned it from Preston.
When in Everland, Preston had once used this trick to set up a trap for the Turner family, playing both the guide and the actor.
ITedy applied what she had learned and used this strategy against the William family.
Although Gloria and Blake had sabotaged the surveillance system in advance, they couldn't stop the passersby in the mall from taking photos and videos with their mobile phones when a certain incident occurred, which is a traditional skill of people worldwide.
Black, his face full of anger, said that he had personally seen Hedy push "Mrs. William". His words were recorded by many people with their mobile phones.
Without a word. Hedy spent money to get this video, operated behind the scenes under a pseudonym, and used a single vibrant life to ignite public opinion in two
countries.
With that, things became interesting.
Gloria and Blake couldn't produce concrete evidence of Iledy pushing someone, even if it killed them.
And Hedy, however, had concrete evidence of Black and Gloria's verbal defamation against her.
Does it need to be said who the law would ultimately stand with?
***
William Castle fell into silence.
Gloria and Blake exchanged a glance, both with panic in their eyes.
They wanted to cause big trouble for Hedy, how did it end up being their own disaster?
"You..." Gloria's mind couldn't keep up with Hedy, "you" she stammered for a while but couldn't form a complete sentence.
Black, on the other hand, played dead, wishing that nothing had happened at all.
From his experience, ITedy was a real tough nut to crack, just as difficult as people like William and Preston.
He got into trouble.
But for a while, he couldn't find a way to get out of the situation!
What a headache!
William laughed in exasperation, looking at Preston, "Preston, you've found a 'great' wife,"
"I've always thought so," Preston's thin lips curled up.
"This loss, I've taken it." William's tone suddenly turned cold. "But our friendship ends here. From now on, the William family and the King family will be enemies on sight."
A glint flashed in Preston's eyes, he knew things would come to this, and he was mentally prepared for it.
Just couldn't bear to watch, as my friend was being played around by my younger brother and Gloria.
With a helpless look on his handsome face, he said, "Haven't you really noticed that Rosalie and the woman in your arms are very different in many ways?"
"She lost her memory!" Anger gathered on William's face.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Gloria nestled into William's arms, sobbing softly.
ITedy raised an eyebrow, "Mr. William, how about we play a game?"
William's gaze fell on ITedy.
"I bet the woman in your arms is not Rosalie, but Gloria. If I lose the bet, you can do whatever you want with my life." Hedy said, her eyes sharp.
"The prerequisite was that an absolutely impartial doctor would publicly test the genes of the woman in your arms, preventing any interference from the King family or the William family."
Black had been taking advantage of William's trust, manipulating things behind the scenes. As long as Black was distracted, another DNA test would reveal the truth about Gloria's impersonation of Dan.
Upon hearing that Iledy was playing so recklessly, both Black and Gloria stiffened.
Without hesitation, William said, "Yes."
Gloria, however, mustered all her strength, gritting her teeth as she stood up from William's arms, tears streaming down her face. "Don't I deserve dignity? William, the murderer killed my child and even wants to sue me for defamation."
And I had to cooperate with her to test whether I was really Rosalie or not.
"Alright, I'll tell you, I'm not Rosalic, I'm Gloria, and I'm going to die now!"
Ilaving said that, Gloria picked up the fruit knife from the fruit plate and plunged it towards her own heart.
William was greatly shocked, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately grabbed Gloria's hand that was holding the fruit knife.
"Big brother, the doctor said that your wife just lost her child and is emotionally fragile. Don't upset her!" Blake took advantage of the situation and gave Gloria an unassailable excuse.
Who would doubt whether a mother who had just miscarried was truly heartbroken?
Where could William care about anything else at this moment? He held Gloria tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with tension and tenderness were bright red.
This surge of emotion, washing away his previous hesitation, he yelled at Hedy and Preston:
"Get out!"
He couldn't bear the pain of losing Rosalie for the second time!
Gloria gave Hedy a provocative glance in a place where William couldn't see.
Hedy was smart, but she didn't know that some love doesn't make sense!
Upon receiving that look, Hedy's dark pupils deepened.
Underestimated the status of Rosalie in William's heart.
"We're leaving." Preston understood that it was impossible to pursue the matter at this moment, so he had no choice but to leave, holding ITedy's hand.
Inside the car returning to the apartment.
Iledy was speechless. "I didn't say that Blake was Gloria's accomplice."
"If these words were spoken, Gloria would probably pretend to jump off a building on the spot to prove her innocence." Preston said with a hint of sarcasm. He paused for a
moment, then continued:
"This was a dead knot."
Just as he would trust Hedy unconditionally.
William also unconditionally trusted "Rosalie", and trusted his younger brother,
Blake.
"Only the truly innocent can untie this knot," Hedy lowered her eyelids.
The true day of Rosalie's return.
It was the time when Gloria was seeking her own destruction.
***
Under Hedy's deliberate manipulation, Blake, the brother of the head of the William family, personally stated that ITedy pushed Mrs. William, causing her miscarriage. This matter became increasingly intense on the internet.
Netizens were divided into three factions. One faction believed in Black, another
believed in Hedy, and the last faction was simply watching the drama unfold, resulting in an irreconcilable argument.
Although William promptly cleaned up the network, the incident still had a fairly
negative impact on ITedy.
The Williams family was unable to produce evidence for a long time, which gave Hedy the moral high ground again.
Five days later, Hedy, as per her previous words, sued Black for infringing on her
right to reputation.
Black had arrived.
The matter had become so serious that if he did not attend, on one hand, it would
tarnish the reputation of the William family, and on the other hand, it would make
him appear guilty, possibly arousing suspicion.
He came with a stiff upper lip.
However, no matter how passionately he expressed that he really saw Hedy push his
sister-in-law, the judge was powerless to help.
In the end, Black was sentenced to fifteen days in detention and ordered to
compensate ITedy one million dollars.
The punishment was not severe, because William cut his losses in time, preventing
the situation from escalating further.
On the tenth day, Hedy sued Gloria, this "Rosalie".
"Rosalie" didn't come.
William sought a psychologist, who stated that Gloria had lost her child and was
emotionally unstable. Out of humanitarian spirit, she should be exempt from charges.
The judge agreed.
This matter was left unresolved.
"This William, he's quite adept at countering moves," Iledy suddenly complimented
William.
"He was just too in love with Rosalie. Love had blinded his eyes, affecting his judgment on certain matters." Preston understood William's actions very well.
"In the past ten days, how many deals has he stolen from you?" ITedy turned to look at
Preston.
William officially declared war on the King family.
These two families, each top-notch powerhouses in their respective countries, ignited
a massive uproar in the business world.
"Over ten," Preston said calmly.
"And what about you, how many stakes did you rob from him?" Hedy asked again.
"Over fifty," Preston said, his tone somewhat gleeful.
"His 'wife' Gloria just had a miscarriage, his younger brother Blake was burdened
with your lawsuit, there were too many things to deal with. Taking advantage of his
illness to take his life, I robbed him with great pleasure."
Hedy: "......"
For some reason, she detected a hint of triumphant vindictiveness in Preston's words.
He retaliated against William for mocking him that day, saying he was so old yet still didn't have a daughter.
