Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the entrance.

The man was unattractive, thin, and looked like he was in his fifties. However, the clothes he wore were all from luxury brands, and the logos were so huge that it was as if he wanted everyone to see them.

He had a disability in his leg and he hobbled over in a very slow manner when he walked in.

Everyone could not help but start discussing, “Who is he?”

“Beats me!”

“I’ve never seen this person either. Has anyone ever met this man before?”

Amidst the discussion, the man hobbled slowly onto the stage and stood right beside Samantha. He then faced everyone and looked into the camera making the live recording.

He opened his lips to reveal a hoarse voice that made it sound as though his throat had been damaged. “Hello everyone. Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m the rich husband in Samantha’s secret marriage! You can address me by my surname Cheadle.”

“Whoa!”

“Goodness! That’s Samantha’s husband?”

“I didn’t expect the rumors to be true. He really is disabled!”

“What did he mean by the remarks he just made? Could Samantha’s explanation have been false?”

Everyone looked like they were eager to bring out the popcorn again. The quiet conference room started to bustle and everyone looked at the stage with excitement.

Samantha and Simon had been facing off against each other earlier, but at that moment, it looked as though the face-off would involve Samantha and her husband!

Aside from those at the venue, the number of people tuning in to the live broadcast had exceeded 100 million, exceeding the viewers for those eight o’clock dramas!

Samantha’s eyes darkened as she looked askance at the man who claimed to be her husband but whom she had never met.

The reporters could not wait to ask questions.

“Mr. Cheadle, what do you mean when you said that Ms. Larsson is a liar who only spouts nonsense?”

“Mr. Cheadle, are you saying Samantha’s explanations are all lies? Is she deceiving the public?”

Mr. Cheadle gave Samantha a vicious look and said in a heartbroken tone, “Samantha might look pure on the surface, but it’s all just an act. I’m suffering from a leg ailment and ill health because of a prior accident. It was a blow to my self-esteem. She took advantage of this by showing concern for me and whispering sweet nothings to my ears. I thought she really didn’t care about my condition and loved me truly, which is why I married her.

“It was only after marriage that she revealed her true colors. She didn’t love me at all. Everything she did was for my property. She kept asking me to spend money on her, buy her a car, a house, and luxury goods. She used my card for all of that, which is why there are no transactions on her bank cards. She doesn’t have any assets under her name.

“I’ve been tolerating all this in silence. I love her and I’m willing to spend money on her, but I hope that she can look back and see just how good I’ve been to her. Unfortunately, she measures my feelings for her in terms of money. She never exercised any form of restraint and repeatedly refused to get close to me because of my disability. Ever since we got married, she never allowed me to give her even a kiss, much less sleep in the same room with her!”

As Mr. Cheadle spoke, he had a look of constant suffering on his face, and there were even tears in his eyes.

Everyone could not help but start sobbing.

Men generally did not cry easily, so it must have been too saddening for him that he would shed his tears in front of so many people!

“She never lets me touch her but she lets other men do so. Those who appeared in the video just now were all her affairs, but they’re not the only ones. There are many other random men who have not been singled out. She’s really good at persuading people, which is why those men are willing to clear her name. They’re in the same position as I am. They’re going around in circles because they’re being deceived!”

“Furthermore, having affairs and giving me the silent treatment isn’t all she did. She’s evil enough to want to kill me!”

Mr. Cheadle’s voice rose suddenly and he opened his shirt, revealing a very obvious stab wound on his waist and abdomen.

“When my father-in-law came forward to expose her, I wanted to follow along as well, but she came to me and tried to kill me. I’m lucky to have survived it and cheated death. I came here as soon as I woke up just so I can tell everyone that Samantha is a vicious, evil woman who kills people for their money!”

He then gave Simon a look while he spoke.

Simon nodded and began crying all of a sudden, as if he had suffered for countless years. He cried and said, “I’ve wronged you. If you hadn’t shown up, Samantha would have succeeded in fooling everyone!”

Cynthia added on with wiping her snot and tears. “Sammy, you’ve reached a point where I can’t help you anymore. As parents, we can only endure it if you treat us that way. But your husband treats you so well and, rather than being satisfied with him, you did so many wrongful acts that just can’t be accepted. This is an outrage!”

While saying that, she turned to the reporters and bowed deeply. “It was my fault for not educating my daughter properly and making her become like this. I apologize to everyone here. I’m sorry everyone. I’ve disappointed my son-in-law!”

Simon huffed and knelt directly on the ground. “As a father, I’m the one who has to bear the biggest blame for raising such a daughter. I apologize to everyone. I’ve let everyone down, and I’ve let my son-in-law down!”

Then he looked at Samantha, and said, “You evil woman. Aren’t you going to hurry up and kneel down to apologize? Get down and beg everyone, including your husband, for forgiveness!”

His words drew everyone’s attention to Samantha.

Her parents came out to accuse her and her husband had made an appearance to do the same. As the closest individuals around her, it was too far-fetched for anyone to believe that she was innocent.

Moreover, public opinion had always leaned toward the weak. Mr. Cheadle went through a horrible situation. Showering his affections on an undeserving woman led her to string him along and nearly take his life.

Someone then shouted, “Apologize, Samantha!”

Everyone’s emotions were stirred at once and the commotion was getting louder. They all shouted, “Samantha, you evil woman! Kneel down and apologize!”

“Apologize right now, Samantha!”

Even the comments on the live broadcast continued to pour in. [Kneel down and apologize, Samantha!]

Samantha stood there calmly. Her hands hung on both sides of her body and she clenched tightly while pursing her red lips.

She had long surmised there was someone else behind her parents. After all, the way they suddenly attacked her in waves was unlike something people with their IQ would have done.

Her guess was confirmed as soon as the fake husband appeared.

Whatever trick the people behind her conjured up really was quite amazing.

historical

They first waited until she had provided all the evidence in her support, after which they would let the fake husband appear to cast down on her integrity by refuting all those words she said. No one would believe her after that and there was no way she could argue herself out of it.

With her parents kneeling down, apologizing, and forcing her to apologize, Samantha would be finished as soon as she opened her mouth.

Samantha frowned and her thoughts began to race in her mind.

Seeing her standing motionlessly there. Simon and Cynthia looked at each other before grabbing both her arms and forcing her to kneel down.

Before Samantha had time to react, she heard two screams from Simon and Cynthia.
