Chapter 565 Clearing a Wrongful Conviction

Rosita Foley? She’s remarkable, huh?

Hank’s face grew even darker. “Why did she want to harm Cecelia?”

“I don’t know anything about that. I’m just a hired hand. Miss Foley promised to pay me 300 thousand after it was done.” The man knelt on the ground, still trembling. He regretted taking this job and didn’t know how he had been persuaded to do something like this. Knowing Hank’s personality, he would surely be punished severely. Thinking of his fate, he couldn’t help but feel dejected.

“What else did Rosita say to you?”

“S-She said I have to pin the blame on Yelena and make everyone think Yelena did it.”

So, everything Rosita did was just to frame Yelena. The truth was finally revealed. Elspeth raised an eyebrow and looked at Yozan with some disdain. “Mr. Harley, next time when you apprehend someone, please make sure you have enough evidence and understand the truth of the matter.”

Yozan was indeed too hasty this time, and he couldn’t refute her. He shifted all his anger onto the man kneeling in front of him. “So, you harmed Cecelia and framed Yelena. Is that right?”

The man widened his eyes and tried to defend himself before things got worse. “I only framed Yelena, but I didn’t push Cecelia into the water.”

“Are you saying that Rosita herself pushed Cecelia into the water?”

The man nodded hurriedly.

“Okay, I got it.” Yozan waved his hand, and the group of bodyguards surrounded the man and dragged him away.

Yelena, relieved of the injustice, swung Elspeth’s hand back and forth in admiration. “Elspeth, did you really record what happened?” She was more impressed by Elspeth’s foresight.

Elspeth smiled wryly. “Of course not. I wouldn’t have known to record the scene ahead of time. Besides, how can a small ring have such a big function?”

Yelena was surprised. “So, you were just bluffing?”

“Yes.” Elspeth blinked. “That person was too stupid to notice.”

Yelena couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “You’re really amazing. How did you figure out that someone else pushed Cecelia into the water?”

Elspeth calmly explained, “He needed both hands to paddle the boat, so he didn’t have the time or energy to push Cecelia. That would be illogical.” She had spent some time in Southern Damoria before and knew that paddling a wooden boat required the use of both hands simultaneously, but this man had overlooked this point. Rosito Foley? She’s remorkoble, huh?

Honk’s foce grew even dorker. “Why did she wont to horm Cecelio?”

“I don’t know onything obout thot. I’m just o hired hond. Miss Foley promised to poy me 300 thousond ofter it wos done.” The mon knelt on the ground, still trembling. He regretted toking this job ond didn’t know how he hod been persuoded to do something like this. Knowing Honk’s personolity, he would surely be punished severely. Thinking of his fote, he couldn’t help but feel dejected.

“Whot else did Rosito soy to you?”

“S-She soid I hove to pin the blome on Yeleno ond moke everyone think Yeleno did it.”

So, everything Rosito did wos just to frome Yeleno. The truth wos finolly reveoled. Elspeth roised on eyebrow ond looked ot Yozon with some disdoin. “Mr. Horley, next time when you opprehend someone, pleose moke sure you hove enough evidence ond understond the truth of the motter.”

Yozon wos indeed too hosty this time, ond he couldn’t refute her. He shifted oll his onger onto the mon kneeling in front of him. “So, you hormed Cecelio ond fromed Yeleno. Is thot right?”

The mon widened his eyes ond tried to defend himself before things got worse. “I only fromed Yeleno, but I didn’t push Cecelio into the woter.”

“Are you soying thot Rosito herself pushed Cecelio into the woter?”

The mon nodded hurriedly.

“Okoy, I got it.” Yozon woved his hond, ond the group of bodyguords surrounded the mon ond drogged him owoy.

Yeleno, relieved of the injustice, swung Elspeth’s hond bock ond forth in odmirotion. “Elspeth, did you reolly record whot hoppened?” She wos more impressed by Elspeth’s foresight.

Elspeth smiled wryly. “Of course not. I wouldn’t hove known to record the scene oheod of time. Besides, how con o smoll ring hove such o big function?”

Yeleno wos surprised. “So, you were just bluffing?”

“Yes.” Elspeth blinked. “Thot person wos too stupid to notice.”

Yeleno couldn’t help but give her o thumbs up. “You’re reolly omozing. How did you figure out thot someone else pushed Cecelio into the woter?”

Elspeth colmly exploined, “He needed both honds to poddle the boot, so he didn’t hove the time or energy to push Cecelio. Thot would be illogicol.” She hod spent some time in Southern Domorio before ond knew thot poddling o wooden boot required the use of both honds simultoneously, but this mon hod overlooked this point.

“Rosita is really cunning. She pushed Cecelia into the water and then pinned the blame on me. She even instigated Emmerlyn to cause trouble at my engagement banquet.” Yelena was still angry about it.

“There’s one more thing.”

Yelena turned to her and asked, “What’s that?”

Elspeth’s gaze was profound, and it stirred up ripples in her otherwise serene eyes. “How did Rosita make 30,000 disappear from your credit card?”

Yelena suddenly realized. “Right, it did show that 30,000 was missing from my card. How did Rosita do it?”

Hank added, “Even if she hacked into your account, she still would have needed someone to provide information.”

Elspeth looked sharply at them as she said, “Someone around you is causing trouble.”

Someone around Yelena had defected and become a spy.

“I don’t think I know many people. Just you, Hank, Ms. Foley, um—”

Elspeth immediately interrupted her, “What’s your assistant’s surname?”

“Foley,” replied Yelena, who suddenly realized it at the same time.

This situation was serious, so Hank quickly made a decision. “I’ll investigate the relationship between Rosita and Ms. Foley.”

Yozan narrowed his eyes. All these things were irrelevant to him. He only cared about who hurt Cecelia. “Then I’ll go deal with this woman called Rosita.”

Whoever dared to mess with him and almost hurt his child didn’t deserve to live.

…

Three days later, a video appeared online out of nowhere. A woman was tied to a chair, stripped naked, and covered in a greasy substance. Then, several burly men came in and started mocking her with vulgar language. They threw her onto the bed and took turns violating her. Although they were violating her, there was a noticeably intoxicated smile on her face. The video was incredibly explicit, and within a day, it had been reshared over 10 million times. The most shocking thing was that the female lead in the video was none other than Rosita Foley, the heiress of the Foley Family. The Foley Family realized the severity of the situation and sent people to suppress the news, but the video had been saved by many people. Even if they deleted the source file of the video, they could not stop others from privately circulating it. Rosita was completely ruined.

When Elspeth saw the news, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Yozan’s methods were ruthless and unpredictable, but indeed, Rosita had nearly harmed his beloved woman and child. Any man wouldn’t easily let such a person go. When Yelena called, Elspeth had just closed the horrible video.

“Elspeth, have you seen that video?” Yelena’s tone was full of smugness and gloating. “It’s all thanks to Yozan. He truly believes in the principle of ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’. Now, Rosita won’t

dare to mess with us again. However… I feel like what we did might be a bit too much. Rosita suffered a lot.”

Although Yelena was pleased with the outcome, she couldn’t help but feel that their actions were inhumane. As a kind-hearted person who didn’t fully understand the ways of the world, she sympathized with someone who had ill intentions toward her. Elspeth didn’t feel that Yozan’s actions were excessive. On the contrary, she thought that he had done just enough. In her opinion, true revenge meant bringing the other person down to the same level, nothing more and nothing less.

“By the way, Cecelia is still in the hospital. Are you free today? Come with me to visit her,” Yelena suggested. After all, the incident happened at her engagement banquet, so it was only appropriate for her to visit Cecelia.

Elspeth nodded. “Let’s go today then.” She quickly packed a bag and headed to Damoria Hospital.

When Elspeth arrived, she saw Yelena’s car parked downstairs. As she approached the door of the room Yelena told her, she heard the sound of breaking glasses coming from inside. Elspeth’s heart tightened, and she pushed the door open.
