Chapter 172
“Grandpa!” Lea reacted quickly and steadied Christian.
Christian looked at the chaotic scene. There was a lump in his throat.
“Dad!” Ewan grabbed Christian’s sleeve. “This time, no matter what, you must get rid of this scourge, Matilda.”
Ewan had endured Matilda for too long. Now, he only wanted to get rid of Matilda and could not care less.
Christian was almost angered to death by Ewan. He really wanted to crack open Ewan’s skull and see if he even had a brain. There was no other reason why Ewan would wait until today to raise such an important matter.
Below the stage, the wives of wealthy families were already ecstatic.
“Where’s Matilda? I saw her just now. Is she hiding in shame?” a woman asked..
“After doing such an embarrassing thing, if it were me, I would have dug a hole and hidden in it,” another voice said.
“There’s no use hiding. She can’t do away with her shamelessness,” a third lady said.
They suddenly shut up and did not dare to speak anymore. They just saw Matilda’s face. She looked sinister. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. She looked sad and agonized, but she emitted a terrifying aura.
Matilda walked forward slowly. The guests automatically made way for her.
Matilda came to Ewan and said in a heart–wrenching voice, “Ewan, we’ve been married for nearly twenty years. We had been through a lot over 20 years. Can’t I compare to a mistress and an unborn illegitimate child?
“I admit I was a little cruel to those lovers you had. Janice had a miscarriage but it was an accident. If you want to bring your mistress into the family, you can divorce me. I won’t stop you anymore. After 20 years, I’m tired.
“But why are you slandering me like this? Why hurt your daughter? Do you know you’re being really cruel to Helen?”
After Matilda’s speech, everyone only saw a miserable wife who was bullied by her husband and mistress. They looked at Matilda with sympathy and pity.
Most of the wives of wealthy families present didn’t have a perfect marriage either. They were very dissatisfied with their marriages and husbands.

Now, those wives felt the same way as Matilda. They subconsciously stood on Matilda’s side and looked at Ewan with enmity. As for the mistress’s miscarriage, they had learned about it online.
No wife would tolerate such a thing and not take action. The mistress deserved to miscarry.
Lea narrowed her eyes when she saw the changes in the wealthy wives.
In the past, they were all members of Matilda’s circle. They had been unhappy with her and had not contacted her much recently.
Christian wouldn’t invite them, but they still received an invitation today. So this was why they were invited.
This was the importance of scripts and actors.
“Matilda, you…” Ewan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. “I knew you would do this, so I brought all the evidence. Here is the evidence. I didn’t wrong you.”
As Ewan spoke, he stood on the stage and pushed Lea and Christian to the side. He poured out the contents of the bag.
There were photos, USB drives, recorders, players, and so on. To facilitate viewing, the photos were enlarged to A4 size.
“Look!” Ewan picked up a photo and held it to Matilda’s face. “Here’s the irrefutable evidence. Did I wrong you?”
Matilda stared at the photo for a long time. Then, she looked at Ewan, appearing puzzled, angry, sad, and disappointed.
Ewan was taken aback.
Max had already walked up. “Mr. Berry, are you joking?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Not only did they see it clearly, but the guests standing in front also saw it. Their expressions. changed and they whispered among themselves.
“Is Mr. Ewan out of his mind?” a voice asked.
“I’ve long heard that Mr. Christian’s only son is a good–for–nothing. From the looks of it, he’s also a little crazy,” another stated.
Ewan suddenly turned the photo around. His pupils dilated in shock.
The photo showed Matilda and Max. Max was helping Matilda into the car.
Everyone in Vaporleon City knew that Max was Matilda’s confidant. Max had followed Matilda from the Fraley family to the Berry family. He handled all of Matilda’s affairs. He was her closest

person.
Max was merely helping Matilda into the car in the photo. That was just the daily responsibility of the driver, bodyguards, and security guards, but it had become evidence of an affair.
Not to mention them, even Ewan himself would not believe it. “H–how did this happen?”
Ewan turned and flipped through the photos on the podium. After looking at more than ten photos, he realized most were photos of Matilda and Max.
There were photos of Matilda and Max entering and leaving the office and the hotel together, and having some physical contact when they were along in the room. If one did not know about their relationship, it could indeed make some people suspect there was something between them.
Furthermore, there were a few photos of Lea with Ewan in his ward, Lea in Riverview Hospital, and Lea with Lorrand. There were even two photos of Lea sending Christian to the hospital and handing him to Lorrand.
Ewan’s face turned pale. The evidence had been swapped. He did not know how this had happened.
Ewan had read all the information he’d received from the detective only the night before. He even remembered every detail. They were all of Matilda and Nixon. They were so scandalous that Ewan was too ashamed to look at them.
Ewan didn’t want to lose the evidence or have them switched out, so he slept with the document bag the entire night. Now, he wondered if the evidence he had seen last night was real.
“No, it’s not like that.” Ewan made up his mind because he knew that Matilda had cheated on him. during this time.
“I still have evidence.” Ewan picked up the recorder and played it.
Everyone suddenly quieted down and softened their breathing to listen.
“Miss Berry, this is the paternity test report you asked for. This way, Ewan will think that Miss Helen is not his daughter,” a voice said.
“Okay, I’ve already transferred the money to you.” Lea’s voice came.
Those who were familiar with Lea would recognize her voice.
Ewan’s mind went blank. He had clearly heard the voices of Matilda and Nixon yesterday. He didn’t know why it would end up like this.
Ewan looked at Lea in confusion.
