Chapter 307: 306 Climb and Bite, Fight Each Other, Bringing Up Old Issues (4 more updates)

Iva Payne quickly calmed down.

Especially when faced with the questioning gazes of her brother and sister-in-law, she furiously confronted Ophelia Wilson.

"Do you even know what you’re talking about? Tim is my own nephew! How dare you slander me with no evidence?"

"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, don’t listen to her nonsense!"

Ophelia Wilson wasn’t smart, and Iva Payne was cautious and scheming; she truly had no evidence.

Her face turned bright red.

Celine Payne rubbed her reddening face, "Grandpa, Grandma, look, she’s just talking nonsense. I don’t even know who’s putting her up to this, slandering my mom in such a setting."

"I didn’t!" Ophelia gritted her teeth, "I still have the potion she gave me."

"Who knows where you got that from!"

"Maybe because you know you’re not the daughter of my uncle and aunt, you thought about using other ways to rise swiftly. After all, having a relationship, especially in such a setting, certainly requires an explanation."

"You are just too greedy!"

Ophelia breathed heavily, "It’s not like that at all, I swear, if I lie, may thunder strike me!"

"Iva Payne, do you dare to swear?"

"If this matter involves you, may your daughter be hit by a car and killed."

"Scum!" Iva Payne bypassed Martin Yates, rushed up to her, and fiercely slapped her face, "You wench, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll tear up your mouth!"

"With so many people here, including reporters, what right do you have to silence me?"

"You little beast, I should never have involved you. I wanted to make my brother and his wife happy, I didn’t anticipate your hidden ambitions."

Iva Payne gnashed her teeth.

"Even if it’s swearing an oath, you dare not?" Ophelia sneered.

"They say, the older people get, the more superstitious they become, it seems..."

"You’re scared!"

"Scared your daughter will end up just like Junior President Payne’s sister, dying tragically!"

"Brat!" Iva Payne said and slapped her again. However, this time, Ophelia Wilson, who didn’t care for appearances, simply shoved her away.

She raised her hand and slapped her back!

The crisp sound of the slap stunned Iva Payne for a few seconds.

Having lived to her age and being slapped by a mere girl, how could she tolerate it.

As soon as Celine Payne saw her mother slapped, she couldn’t contain her anger and charged over, looking like she was ready to kill.

This time,

Martin Yates did not stop her.

Dressed in a carefully chosen beautiful gown, Celine Payne was inevitably hindered in her movement, while Ophelia Wilson had already changed into regular clothes. Unlike a pampered young lady, she had plenty of strength!

Celine Payne’s slap went awry and landed on her, only for her to grab Celine’s hair tightly!

"Ah—"

She screamed in agony.

It was heart-wrenching.

It was so shocking that Zoe Bell felt a chill on her scalp and couldn’t help but step back.

Wyatt Hale inhaled sharply, "No wonder they say, never mess with women."

Michale Shaw chuckled softly, "It’s not like it’s your hair being pulled. What are you afraid of?"

Ophelia Wilson snorted coldly, "Miss High and Mighty, you think you’re something? Selfish and jealous, even snatching a bracelet Junior President Payne gave me, totally shameless. And you dare criticize Mrs. Hale right in front of me."

"It’s clearly you who’s shameless!"

"Well, I’ve never seen her provoke you, but you, you speak with such sarcasm."

Celine Payne was furious.

Her carefully styled hair was a mess, caught between humiliation and anger, she looked pitifully at Elder Mrs. and Mr. Payne, "Grandpa, Grandma, look at her bullying me."

"As for who is behind all this, I will definitely find out!" Mr. Payne’s tone was cold and resolute.

"Dad, do we still need to investigate this matter?" Iva Payne was confident because Ophelia Wilson had no evidence.

"I think she only wanted to marry into a high-status family, so she used such despicable means. The person was brought into the Payne Family by me, and it’s my fault that such a situation has arisen. I will handle it properly."

Upon hearing this, Ophelia Wilson panicked.

If she fell into Iva Payne’s hands, she definitely wouldn’t receive any favors.

She turned her head and looked at Tim Payne, "Junior President Payne, save me. Didn’t you say you liked me?"

"Do you actually believe that?" Finn Hale suddenly spoke.

His gaze moved up and down Ophelia Wilson.

That look seemed to say:

What about you is worth Tim Payne’s affection?

And Tim Payne’s face remained cold, expressing nothing.

Only then did Ophelia Wilson realize that she might have been deceived by Tim Payne.

Seeing her change in expression, Iva Payne guessed most of it.

"Idiot!"

"What kind of woman hasn’t Tim seen that he would take a liking to you?"

But now Ophelia Wilson was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Iva Payne was formidable. If she pinned tonight’s events entirely on her, she would be completely finished.

Especially when William Hale began to speak, "This incident has implicated my wife, and the Payne Family must give an explanation to our family."

Adding fuel to the fire.

"Exactly, my sister-in-law is so innocent. She was almost wrongfully accused. We must investigate this matter thoroughly," Michale Shaw continued to embellish.

Watching the drama unfold, of course, the more heated, the better.

Iva Payne clenched her teeth; she had never realized before how much this member of the Shaw Family talked.

Can’t he just shut up!

Old Sir Hale snorted, "This isn’t the first time!"

"Last time, my daughter-in-law, who is kind-hearted and nice, did not pursue the matter further, but I know the truth and was half dead with anger."

"Some people think I’m dead!"

"They dare bully my family’s child!"

When Old Sir Hale had a stern face and spoke sharply, it could frighten people to the core.

Especially his sharp eyes, which swept over Celine Payne, scaring her until she turned pale.

Mr. Payne nodded, promising they would provide an explanation!

The Hale Family was not easily fooled.

This matter would definitely have a resolution.

Ophelia Wilson was extremely anxious, as she was powerless and without influence, she looked towards Mario Payne and his wife, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I can swear and curse on that."

"I did do some wrong things, but they weren’t intentional. I didn’t mean to deceive you."

"I can see that you love your daughter dearly and genuinely want to find her. You must be very disappointed in me now, but I can redeem myself if you give me a chance!"

Mario chuckled softly, "What do you plan to do to make up for it?"

"I know Iva Payne’s secret!"

"What?"

A cornered dog will leap over a wall. She glanced at Iva Payne, this is all you forced me to do, "Your daughter’s death wasn’t an accident..."

"It was murder!"

"It was Iva Payne who did it."

"She not only found someone to impersonate your daughter, but she’s also responsible for her death long ago!"

Even the photographers who were taking photos were stunned.

Because the Payne Family had claimed to the public that the daughter they found had been lost in an accident and everyone thought she might have been abducted by human traffickers. Could it be that there was more to the story of that year?

Murder?

Such an accusation could crush someone.

The entire room was frighteningly silent, with a suffocating tension as if a storm was pressing down on the city, making everyone afraid to even breathe.
