Chapter 112

Evelyn's lips curled slightly. "Go ahead. Expose me. Let the whole internet judge who's the real homewrecker here."

"Isabella, I've tolerated your mistress status all these years simply because I couldn't be bothered with you. But since you keep pushing me, don't blame me for tearing off the mask."

As Evelyn turned to leave, she caught the calculating glint in Isabella's eyes from her peripheral vision.

Slap!

A sharp sound echoed through the air.

Isabella had struck herself hard across the face, her nails leaving bloody scratches on her neck.

Evelyn narrowed her eyes.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." Isabella suddenly collapsed to her knees, voice trembling. "I know you hate me for taking your place, but the baby swap wasn't my fault... Please stop hitting me..."

Evelyn scoffed. "What's this? Switching to fraud now?"

"Evelyn!" Adrian's furious roar erupted behind them.

Now Evelyn understood Isabella's sudden theatrics.

An Oscar-worthy performance indeed.

Adrian rushed to help Isabella up. Seeing the marks on her neck, his gaze turned icy. "Her new film starts shooting tomorrow. Are you trying to ruin her career?"

The night wind swirled with fallen leaves, chilling Evelyn's heart.

"Isabella, you've got skin fragments from scratching yourself still lodged under your nails." Evelyn smirked. "Did your acting frenzy make you forget basic forensic science?"

Isabella instantly hid her hands behind her back.

Evelyn seized her wrist, forcing her nails into Adrian's view. "Shall we call the police for a DNA test right now?"

Adrian's expression faltered.

"It happened when I struggled while she was hitting me..." Isabella tearfully burrowed into Adrian's arms.

Evelyn applauded. "Such brilliant improvisation. The Golden Globes owe you a trophy."

"Look! Ms. Langley's being attacked!"

Hurried footsteps approached from down the corridor.
