Chapter 29
Chapter 29
To Sophia's surprise, Paige publicly revealed that she had been kidnapped by Sophia. Sophia was so frightened that she hesitated to deny it.
"Paige, what are you talking about? What does all this have to do with me?"
"Because when you were hooking up with Ethan, you threatened me that if I died, you and your mother could move back to the Andersons and my father would legally recognize you as his daughter."
Paige looked straight at Sophia, her eyes liked a sharp sword.
"When I met with a mishap, you and Isabella sure enough moved into the Anderson family's villa. Back then, it was hard to tell whether I was alive or not, you attended the feast with my father so fair and square without guilt. Why is it so coincidental?"
The hall burst into an uproar as Paige spoke. Kidnapping? Oh my god, it was too scary!
No one here was stupid. Liam's denial was just an excuse. One was a man who had lost his wife, and the other was an old woman who were not married.
If there was no relationship between them, they would avoid anything that may arouse suspicion. Now, Isabella and her daughter even moved into the villa of the Anderson family. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Who would believe that she had nothing to do with Liam?
"This is too vicious. How could she be so despicable to do such a thing?"
"The two mistresses had done anything for property and rich lives."
"We have to call the police. Let the police handle it and bring the shameless mother and her daughter to justice."
There was a lot of talk all around. Liam was also shocked. He could never believe that Isabella and Sophia would do such a thing.
He thought that Paige planted the evidence out of spite, "Paige, it's not a trifle thing and you can’t talk nonsense about!"
"Nonsense? Dad, do you think I'm talking nonsense? Then look at my hands and legs." Paige rolled up her sleeves. Her arms were covered with scars and so were her calves.
"I was kidnapped at night a few days ago. These are the scars of my kidnapping."
"Is this true?" Liam looked at the scars on Paige's arms and legs in astonishment and asked, "Who did it?"
"The two kidnappers said that it was a woman who gave them money and told them to rape and kill me. I have never offended anyone, except for Sophia and Isabella who suddenly appeared."
Paige pointed at Sophia and Isabella, "You stole my boyfriend, my father, and occupied my house. In order to get rid of any further troubles, you even wanted to kill me. What are you thinking about? How can you be so cruel and vicious?"
Paige's questioning made Liam's face become serious. Suddenly, worry and tension occupied Isabella. What happened today was completely beyond her expectations.
She didn't expect Paige to be alive or to be here
She didn't expect that the video of Sophia and Ethan's extramarital affair would be known to the public. She didn't expect Paige to be so smart to set Ethan up and brought the secrets of her and Sophia to light.
Also, she didn't expect that Paige would accuse her and Sophia of murder in front of so many people.
She had to think of a way to resolve it. After all, Liam didn't know that Paige's kidnap was her and Sophia's idea.
If Liam became suspicious of her motive and loathed her, then her dream of marrying to a rich man would come to an end.
When Isabella thought of this, she immediately began to defend herself, "Paige, you can't frame us with no evidence. I am just an ordinary and tender woman without any contact or background. How can I know kidnappers?"
"Tender woman? A woman who gave birth to an illegitimate daughter before marriage? A mistress who tried to take over someone else's property with her illegitimate daughter? I don't think there are tender women so shameless like you in the whole country."
"Paige!" Liam cried out. He had just denied his relationship with Isabella, but Paige mentioned it again. It was like a slap in his face in public.
Liam felt unpleased. He frowned and said, "Ms. Martin is an elder. You can't talk to her like this."
Liam turned a blind eye to her scars but still spoke for Isabella. Paige felt extremely sad.
Isabella immediately knew that Liam still felt guilty about her when she saw Liam helping her. She must find a chance to fight back.
"Paige, I had no illicit relationship with your father. Why would I let someone kidnap you? Besides, your father knew my character well. You can't do this because of a misunderstanding."
"Yes, Paige, you can't slander us so mercilessly because Ethan likes me and doesn't like you." Sophia immediately followed up.
She was just too shocked to react in time.
Now that she had realized what happened, of course she would begin to talk against Paige.
"You said that you were kidnapped. Then how did you end up here? Did the kidnapper let you go because he recovered his conscience?"
"Yeah, Paige, since they kidnapped you to kill you, how could they let you go so easily?" Liam asked with a face of suspicion.
"I survived because I resisted and stabbed the kidnappers, then I rolled down the mountain and was saved by others."
"You were saved by someone? Who saved you?" Isabella immediately asked. The plan to plot Paige was flawless. Who saved the little b*ch Paige? She had to figure it out.
"Why should I tell you? So that you can take revenge on the person who saved me?" Sure, Paige could not tell her that Young Master Joseph was the person who saved her.
Seeing that she did not mention the person's name who saved her, Sophia sneered, "There must be no kidnappers or people who saved you, right? It's just a play made up by yourself."
"I've made up a play by myself? Does Miss Martin often slander others? Otherwise, how could you be so clear about it? Would you like to make up one and show me?"
"You're being unreasonable! Unless you can tell us who saved you, we would suspect that you're making up a story to slander us."
One of the guests attending the banquet was a famous and highly-respected doctor from B City hospital. He couldn't stand Isabella and her daughter's aggressiveness
He interrupted with a frown, "Miss Anderson's injuries were definitely not caused by herself. It was obviously caused by an external force."
"Even so, it doesn't have to be a kidnapping. Maybe she was injured because of something else and deliberately called it a kidnapping in order to smear us?" Sophia immediately retorted.
"I also suspect that all of this was a play directed by herself. Who dares to kidnap her in such halcyon days?" Ethan came in from the door of the hall with a gloomy face.
After being slapped by Paige, Ethan covered his face in anger and stood in the corridor. He knew nothing about what had happened in the hall.
It was not until Elizabeth called him that he knew that his conversation with Paige was live broadcast.
Ethan was stunned in an instant, "Paige, damn it. All must have been planned by Paige!"
"You d*mn Paige! Since you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
