Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 85

Chapter 6

The timestamp on the document brought everything into sharp focus. Al eyes turned toward me.

Richard's face flushed with anger as he glared. James, clearly frustrated and disappointed, looked on with visible dismay. The influencers' cameras darted between the admission slip and my stunned expression.

"Mary," Jessica said, her voice quivering with betrayal, "even though you're just my cousin, I've always treated you like a sister. How could you do this to me?"

"Think of all I've done for you. I've supported, cared for, and given you everything. Why wasn't it enough? Why did you have to hurt my baby?"

"How could you be so heartless? That was a living child! You saw me bleeding after you pushed me, and you walked away with those male models without a second glance. Do you know I nearly died along with my baby because of you?"

"You've killed my child, and instead of showing remorse, you've brought this crowd to witness my suffering. Is this what you wanted?"

"How did I end up with such a cruel cousin?"

Jessica's outburst, filled with anguish and fury, made her seem deeply wronged. Michael, standing beside her, barely concealed his smirk, revealing their calculated manipulation.

I had underestimated Jessica.

It dawned on me that our earlier confrontation with Richard had been streamed live, likely alerting Jessica and Michael. They must have seen the broadcast and quickly forged a fake admission slip to shift the blame onto me.

Jessica's strategy was to use this false evidence to publicly condemn me.

Her dramatic performance completely reversed the situation.

The crowd's disdain for me intensified, and the live stream chat erupted in outrage.
