Chapter 498 - Overseas Call
Trisa seemed confident. Her bloodshot eyes stared at everyone, looking very proud.
Compared to how surprised the Irwan family was, Lilia and the others looked at her very calmly.
Then, Lilia casually took out her cellphone, opened her video gallery, and clicked on the play button. The words Trisa spoke in the office last night immediately reached everyone's ears.
'So, are you wondering how your life could have flipped at that time?'
Trisa's voice could be heard clearly from the recording.
Lilia smiled and looked at Trisa, whose face had slightly changed. "Even if you don't say anything, just a few words are enough to prove that there was a conspiracy over my birth and Mellisa's car accident. And sure enough, it has something to do with you as well."
"With this, you don't have to bargain your way out anymore. You've always had a bad intention, so don't blame me for turning you into the police. As for the details, I'll definitely find out myself!"
Trisa propped up the table and looked at Lilia, looking a bit angry.
She threatened to keep the truth from 24 years ago to her grave, but she was actually trying to save herself.
She did not think that Lilia did not care about the truth!
Simon's face turned grim as if unprepared for the storm that was about to hit his family. His eyelids drooped, and he no longer had any grace.
He clenched his hands together, his voice filled with incurable bitterness as he asked with difficulty, "Trisa, did you do all this?"
Trisa didn't look at him, she just bowed her head slightly, not letting the irony escape from her eyes.
She had been silent for a long time, and Randell, who was still sitting on the floor, stared at her back blankly. Her husband finally said, "Trisa, you didn't do it, did you?"
As soon as she heard his voice, anger filled her heart and Trisa turned sharply to look at him with her eyes looking very stern. "Randell, trash like you just need to shut up!"
To her, the worst thing to ever happen in her life was being forced to marry Randell.
A successful woman marrying a stupid man like Randell— her attitude clearly explained why she looked down on her husband.
When he heard these words, Randell shrank and became speechless.
"This is outrageous... The Irwan family that I have worked so hard to nurture these years has really committed a crime!" Simon couldn't take it anymore, he muttered while covering his old face.
The old man was really ashamed, he couldn't believe that his face would be slapped many times by the cruel reality in his 80s.
Trisa held back her anger, then finally looked at Simon slowly. She took a deep breath and pointed back. "Father, please save me. I didn't do the things that Lilia said, they are trying to frame me!"
"You know many important figures in this city, please help me find a way out of this problem! As long as I can get out of here, I will always obey what you ask of me and will never embarrass our family's name again!" She begged.
Simon didn't respond, but he kept shaking his head.
Beside him, Janice recovered from her daze and walked towards Trisa step by step. She grabbed her arm and her voice trembled. "Trisa, tell me, is it true that you destroyed my family by exchanging Lilia with Leila?!"
She asked angrily, she couldn't imagine that the woman next to her was the cause of her family's breakdown.
When the two of them were young, they were beautiful famous women in the capital. Even though there was an age difference, they got along quite well as they met at various banquets.
She couldn't understand why Trisa hated her, Janice felt that their relationship was fine.
Trisa turned her head little by little and looked at Janice's face. She sneered and spat at her. "A stupid woman like you dares to threaten me? If it weren't for you, how could I possibly have to marry that stupid trash!"
She finally said it!
Janice was pushed back a few steps by Trisa until Richard reached out his hand to stop her staggering steps.
The bottom of Trisa's eyes were covered with intense hatred, blood also started to drip from the handcuffs on her wrists as she kept slamming her hands on the table.
Trisa's cruel gaze continued to stare at Janice. After she revealed her true feelings, she finally couldn't hide her jealousy that she had been hiding for more than 20 years.
"Did you know? I could have killed you and your family if I wanted to, but fortunately I didn't have the heart to do it. If I knew I would end up like this, I would have definitely killed you long ago when you were still carrying those two bastards!" Trisa shouted while pointing towards Melissa.
Her words were full of rage and anger towards everyone.
However, her anger made her tell the truth that Lilia and Melissa were the one who almost drove here mad today.
Richard patted Janice's back, trying to comfort her.
In a flash, he looked at Trisa with a stern gaze, uttering every word in a shocked tone. "So the accidents that befell them one after another are because of you?"
Trisa tilted her head and looked at Richard who managed to hide his anger well. There was a glint in her eyes as she laughed arrogantly. "Oh, do you also want to know the story from 24 years ago? I will tell you that but release me so you can all hear the truth yourself!"
Until now, Trisa was still trying hard to save herself.
She had reached a dead end, her only hope was the Irwan family and the influence they had in the city.
The scene made Lilia a little dizzy and sighed. Even Mellisa was impatient and decided to smoke in order to relieve her stress.
Leonard noticed the change in Mellisa's mood. He turned his gaze towards her, furrowed his brows, and turned his gaze to look at Jean with his gloomy face. "Are we done?"
These words meant a lot.
In an instant, they caught everyone's attention.
Jean's faint eyes swept toward Leonard. The next second, he pulled out his phone gracefully, turned the play button and pressed the speaker.
The call was answered almost right after.
"Young Master!" Apparently, it was Clifford's voice.
When Lilia heard it, she immediately shifted her gaze towards her husband's indifferent face, and her heartbeat was racing a little.
She suddenly thought that Trisa had two children who were currently studying abroad.
And before they all left Surabaya, Clifford happened to go to the United States...
Did her husband set this up a long time ago?!
Jean's deep eyes looked at Trisa, then he asked Clifford in an arrogant voice. "Where is he?"
Clifford's stern voice answered, "Next to me."
Trisa was confused, and everyone was confused too.
After a rustling sound came from the phone, the voice of a cheerful young man could be heard. "Mom? Is that you?"
Trisa was stunned.
She couldn't stop shaking, her panicked and confused eyes met Jean's. Her dark pupils were deep and cold as her chest tightened and made it hard for her to breathe.
"Steven…!" Trisa forced herself to speak. The tone wasn't great, but it was loud enough for the other party to hear.
"Mom, it really is you! I just met this older brother two days ago. He said he was an old acquaintance of our family, I thought he was lying but apparently he's not."
Steven was Randell and Trisa's eldest child, and he was currently studying in the United States.
The 'older brother' he referred to was Clifford, who also happened to be in the United States.
At this moment, Trisa felt her throat choke. She wanted to tell her son to run, but under Jean's gaze, she couldn't say anything.
She was really scared!
Given her pride, she simply couldn't let her son know her current state.
