PopularNovelChapter 126 Vincent sighed and walked over. "Claire, after everything that's happened, you should know better by now. Apologize to Irene and Vanessa, and let's put this behind us." Claire stared coldly at her older brother and childhood friend. They were the last people she wanted to deal with right now.
A CEO and a lawyer-both highly educated and supposedly sophisticated-yet when it cto Vanessa, they transformed into mindless fools. It was infuriating.
"You claim to be fair, but you're just protecting Vanessa, aren't you? Afraid I'll expose her hypocrisy in public?" Claire challenged.
"Claire!" Ethan raised his voice in reprimand. "Don't push your luck." But Claire's voice rose even higher, "Ethan, shut up!" Vincent's expression soured, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Claire rounded on him fiercely, "You shut up too." "You have no right to lecture me, and even less right to control what I do." "Don't pushto slap you both. It'd be all too easy." Their faces turned grim as Ethan and Vincent realized they were losing face. They knew all too well how relentless Claire could be, and escalating the situation would only humiliate them further.

The moment Irene saw Vanessa, her already pale face turned ghostly white, and she began to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with a tangible mix of hatred and fear.
Anyone with a shred of insight could see that Irene wanted nothing to do with Vanessa-a far cry from the warmth expected between friends.
Brian frowned, sensing something was very wrong with his sister's reaction. "Irene, what's wrong?" he asked, anxiety lacing his voice.
"What's wrong?" Claire scoffed. "Isn't it obvious? She's staring at her enemy." "Claire, stop making baseless accusations," Ethan reprimanded her again. "You'll see soon enough whether I'm making things up," Claire replied with unwavering certainty.
She turned to Irene, her tone both gentle and firm. "Irene, I know you can't speak right now, and I don't need you to. Just blink once if I'm right and twice if I'm wrong. Blink once if you understand." Irene blinked once, forcefully.
A triumphant smile spread across Claire's lips-a release of long-suppressed satisfaction.
Vanessa, today is your reckoning.
Vanessa's heart pounded in her chest.
She started to struggle. "Sister, I don't feel well. I need to see a doctor." Claire ignored her completely.

Claire then asked Irene, with a voice that was both clear and resolute, omn "Five years ago, en the day the Linwood family threw a graduation party for Vanessa, was itwho pushed you down the stairs?" Irene's eyes filled with guilt as she blinked twice, firmly and without hesitation.
Brian stood there as if struck by lightning.
Not Claire? Was it really not Claire?
