“It’s obvious, this is your computer,” Sylvia said as she retrieved some USB history records from her computer, which included the explicit video.
Soren stared at Kristen with disgust and hatred in his eyes. “I have treated you well. Even though you’re not my biological sister, I have never mistreated you or your mother. I have always regarded you as family. Yet, you hurt my wife like this! You have truly disappointed me.”
“What do you know?” Kristen, sensing Soren’s disgust, was on the verge of collapse. Her eyes widened in a crazed manner as she screamed, “All of this is because of you! I did it for your sake!”
“For my sake? That’s ridiculous!” Soren found her incomprehensible. “Hurting my wife is for my good? Let me tell you, only when my wife is well will I be well!”
“She doesn’t deserve you! Women like her are a dime a dozen on the streets. Brother, listen to me, she’s not right for you,” Kristen said, almost possessed. “There are so many excellent women out there! Why must you love her?”
“Who I love is my choice,” Soren said, too irritated to deal with Kristen any longer. He turned to the police and said, “Please take her away.”
“No, I won’t go!” Kristen screamed hysterically.
Isla stepped forward and looked at Kristen in confusion. “Kristen, what are you so unbalanced about? Your brother and I are in love with each other. Our parents didn’t oppose us, so why do you think you have the right to shout here?”
She couldn’t understand why Kristen disliked her so much. She had never seen such an extreme sister-in-law before.
Many people around her were married, and their husbands’ families also had sisters-in-law, but none were as extreme as Kristen.
“You! Why should I tell you? Do I need a reason to hate you?” Kristen’s voice was sharp and harsh. “You’re not even fit to carry my shoes. In my eyes, you’re just a foot-washing maid!”
“Spit!” She spat at Isla.
“Haha–” Sylvia sneered, “I’ll tell you why. Because… Soren’s so-called stepsister…” Her words were cut off by Kristen’s loud interruption, “What are you going to say? What do you want to accuse me of?”
“Do I even need to accuse you? Your dirty schemes, could you really think others wouldn’t see through them just because you couldn’t?” Sylvia looked at her calmly and directly opened a folder on Kristen’s computer. Everyone was shocked when they saw the contents of that folder!
It was full of Soren’s photos!
If these were just ordinary photos, it might not have been a big deal, but many of them were taken while Soren was sleeping, in his pajamas, or even topless, wearing only shorts, his well-built six-pack and eight-pack abs clearly visible… Some were taken right after a shower, with Soren wrapped only in a towel… All of these photos were taken inside Soren’s room.
This…
Soren frowned, looking at these private photos of himself, and suddenly became furious, “You actually secretly filmed me!”
“From these photos, it’s clear that a hidden camera was installed in your room, one that you didn’t notice,” Sylvia raised an eyebrow and opened another folder, which was almost entirely filled with videos.
She casually opened one, and the screen clearly showed Soren entering his room, sitting on the bed to play with his phone, then switching to reading a basketball magazine, before heading to the shower…
Kristen stood there as if she had been stripped bare, her deepest secrets exposed to everyone by Sylvia. She looked at Soren with a mix of panic and fear, “Soren, hear me out, it’s not as she says.”
“She’s framing me! She’s framing me! I’m innocent! She’s a computer expert, it would be easy for her to plant a few of your photos, right?” Kristen screamed shrilly, her voice piercing.
“There might be some misunderstanding here, Kristen and Soren have always had a good relationship, Kristen wouldn’t do something like this,” Kristen’s mother, overwhelmed and lost, interjected, trying to defend her daughter, thinking about what would happen if her daughter were to go to jail.
Not only would her reputation be ruined, but who would dare to marry her after that?
A woman with a criminal record.
“You’re right, why would Kristen install a surveillance camera in your room? You’re her brother,” Diego also spoke earnestly to Soren, “Soren, remember you’re the elder. You should be more tolerant and understanding towards your sister. Today is your and Isla’s big day, there’s no need to create such a scene.”
After that, Diego turned to the police, “Sir, look… this is a family matter. I beg you to release my daughter. She’s a young lady, what will she do after she goes to prison?”
Soren looked at Diego with a bitter heart. Even though he was the biological son, this father always doted on Kristen, the stepdaughter, teaching him from a young age to always love and care for his sister.
Kristen’s mother remarried Diego when Kristen was young, bringing with her a daughter from her previous marriage who was also given the Gates surname and raised as a heiress of the Gates family.
Even now, despite what Kristen has done, Diego can still shamelessly ask Soren to tolerate her!
It’s truly ridiculous.
Soren had long since become numb to his father’s favoritism. Though he thought he would no longer feel pain or sadness over it, now he only felt a bitter irony.
“How can you treat a psychopath and a paranoid woman like a treasure? Would a normal sister do such a crazy and terrifying thing? Would she spy on her own brother? And then despise her brother’s wife to the bone? If it’s not because she has abnormal feelings for me, what else could it be?”
Soren wished he could slap Kristen to death; even a glance at her made him feel dirty.
Isla quietly swallowed, completely agreeing with what Soren said.
Kristen looked decent, but she did the kind of things only a pervert would do.
Especially since she always preached values and norms, which now seemed incredibly hypocritical.
Diego and Kristen’s mother were speechless after Soren’s words, Diego’s face turning a dark red like a pig liver.
Kristen’s mother was even more embarrassed.
For her daughter to commit such a shameful act was…
“Someone who speaks of ethics and values so much, I wonder how your students will react when they find out about this?” Isla looked at Kristen with a mocking expression, “Sir, I suggest you ban her ethics class. Such a feudal remnant should be eradicated.”
“We are already investigating the ethics class. We’ve received reports that Kristen’s ethics class involves foot-binding education, which is inconsistent with the current social development,” the police officer nodded, “So, Kristen, please come with us.”
If the investigation confirms these reports, Kristen could face multiple years in prison for any of the following charges:
– Installing a surveillance system – invasion of privacy.
– Playing explicit videos – spreading obscenity.
– Defaming and framing Isla – defamation.
Haha – Sylvia silently sneered in her heart.
This Miss of the Gates family, who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, was truly comical.
“I won’t go! What evidence do you have to arrest me, just because Sylvia messed with my computer? Who knows if she even tampered with my computer? You didn’t even investigate, just arrested me. You’re going too far!” Kristen tried to resist, struggling in vain.
However, her efforts were useless against the strong and tall police officers, who easily detained her and took her away.
The wedding reception, which was previously lively, fell silent, with no one speaking.
This… it felt more like a farce or a melodramatic scene, more intense than any family drama produced in the entertainment industry.
Finally, Sylvia chuckled, breaking the awkward silence.
“The ring exchange hasn’t been completed yet! I’m a bit hungry, I want to see the rest of the ceremony and then start the banquet urgently!”
“Yes, yes, Miss Andrews is right,” Jane quickly interjected, turning to the officiant, “Please continue with the wedding ceremony.”
The officiant finally came to his senses and proceeded with the ceremony, simplifying the remaining steps due to the incident and quickly finishing the ritual.
Once the ceremony ended, the officiant stepped aside.
Among all the weddings he had officiated, this one was the most shocking.
The wedding banquet followed, with guests sitting down to enjoy the food. Since it was a Western-style banquet, the meals were mostly served in a buffet style.
There was red wine, champagne, and a variety of pastries and Western delicacies, catering to different tastes.
Sylvia and Franklin sat at a table, and the man served some of Sylvia’s favorite dishes, “I’ve handed over the evidence from the Gates family to the police.”
He had already dispatched his people to retrieve Kristen’s computer and the surveillance camera in Soren’s room.
“Thank you.” Sylvia smiled at him, “I never expected things to turn out like this.”
The other guests also quietly discussed the matter while eating, occasionally whispering to each other.
Since the Saunders family and the Gates family were both reputable families, there were quite a few journalists and media present.
These journalists had never witnessed such a sensational and dramatic event, and immediately reported it in real time.
As expected, this incident stirred up a storm on the internet.
Logan yawned and sat next to Sylvia, “Sylvia, you did a great job!”
Brayden and Jenna joined in, “Amazing! It made my heart race.”
Jenna smiled shyly, “Sis, you’re so awesome! You have everything so thoroughly investigated.”
