“Alcohol! I wanted to drink alcohol! Only it can relieve my pain,” Edmond said and poured the alcohol into his mouth.
“Stop drinking!” Lizbeth snatched the bottle away and yelled, “Erin kidnapped Helios and poisoned him at the wedding banquet. Erin deserved to die!”
“Stop talking about her like that!” Edmond angrily shouted, “All of you forced Erin! If Abel did not do something like that to Erin, could she have ended up like this?”
“What about her orchestrating a car accident and trying to kill Emmeline and me?” Lizbeth said. I did not expect Edmond to be so obstinate! It was infuriating!
“Words aren’t enough! There’s no proof!” Edmond angrily shouted, “Abel framed her!”
“Why don’t you go to the police station and ask?” Lizbeth said, “You should go and ask. The culprit has been caught!”
“Well,” Edmond sneered and said, “Abel was in charge of Struyria anyway. He probably makes everything up! The police will even listen to him!”
“Edmond,” Lizbeth’s face turned gloomy, and she said, “Wake up! Why did Abel have to do all of this? What’s the point?”
“You’re still helping him?” Edmond said, “Are you helping him because you married into the Ryker family?”
“Edmond,” Lizbeth said, “I’m just telling you the facts. Don’t fall into Erin’s trap! She tried to escape while. leaving a mess for us. She even said that we looked down on her. Don’t you see her intentions now?”
“You and Mom didn’t treat her well, Edmond said. “Isn’t Erin right about that?”
Lizbeth hesitated and said, “That’s because Erin is Evelyn!”
Edmond was stunned for a while and could not believe Lizbeth’s words. Then he said, “Is that true? Or is it just hearsay? The hospital could not even confirm the gene between them. You believe it without any evidence?”
“Let me show you a few pictures,” Lizbeth said.
Lizbeth picked up her phone and sent Edmond some photos of Evelyn before her plastic surgery.
Edmond took the phone and skeptically opened the photo. He looked at the photo over and over again.
“Liz, what are you trying to tell me? Are you trying to frame Erin? It’s over!”
