Can't Let Go novel Chapter 146

　　“It wasn’t you that night, was it?”

　　It had been three years.

　　The shameful issue of mistaken identity had passed for three years.

　　Why would there be a video?

　　Could it be that framing him up that night was not the true aim, while shooting the video was?

　　Why would she do this?

　　Did she want to frame Nian up?

　　Instantly, George’s train of thoughts turned around a thousand times.

　　The more he thought, the more dreadfully pale his face became.

　　His body, holding Duoduo, was obviously shaky.

　　Linda hastened to support George, and her eyes were filled with worry： “Nianguang, are you OK?”

　　“Mr. Mo, this must be you, the person in the video was Linda. Look, the birthmark was so obvious back there. We all know it.” The journalist hastened to add.

　　Right, she had shown the birthmark in a video three years ago.

　　Therefore, most people knew it.

　　“Excuse me, when did you have that love affair with Ms. Yun? Does Mr. Huo know it?”

　　“Mr. Mo, I hear that Mr. Huo is helping you with your company in Austral City, is it good for you to treat him by making love with his wife?”

　　“Right, Mr. Mo. This video shows it so clearly.” With it, the journalist rushed in a little, and then started to yell as if he had discovered a new continent： “Good heavens! Last night the three of you stayed in the same house, then...you must be sleeping together again! Does Mr. Huo know it?”

　　“Mrs. Huo, I hear that you haven’t divorced yet. Mr. Huo was waiting at his mother’s side last night. Why didn’t you go to the hospital as her daughter－in－law? Instead, you are here with...” Before these words were finished, everybody giggled under their breath.

　　“Shut the fuck up!” George held Duoduo firmly, and scolded loudly with scarlet eyes： “It was not Linda, but Mary in the video!”

　　Everybody was stunned, and then looked at each other.

　　Presently, they laughed satirically： “Mr. Mo, isn’t it inappropriate for you to clear your name now? Three years ago, Mary looked like Susan Cai, and everybody in Austral City knows it!”

　　“That’s right. Don’t deny it, Mr. Mo. According to our investigation, Ms. Yun and you were playmates in childhood.”

　　“Ms. Yun, will you divorce Mr. Huo? Or, will you deny like Mr. Mo, and blame your elder sister instead?”

　　Linda remained silent, and kept looking at the journalists coldly.

　　This was complete malice.

　　Three years ago, she thought the video would disappear after being played on that day.

　　But she didn’t expect it to be hidden for so long.

　　But a lot of things would be forgotten with the passage of time.

　　Nowadays, many people didn’t remember Mary was the same as her.

　　In their mind, there were only faces of Mary and Miss Cai.

　　No one could imitate a birthmark.

　　Let alone this wasn’t exposed in the past.

　　Therefore, nobody would believe it when it was mentioned again today.

　　Besides, Mary had a car accident and was changed beyond recognition. She underwent a plastic surgery, and there was no way to know whether the birthmark on her back was still there any more.

　　But she was not dwelling on this problem now; instead, she was worring about George.

　　“I’ve told you, it wasn’t Linda, it was Mary who cheated me!” George’s voice was obviously very anxious.

　　He was scared. He was really scared about bringing trouble and worry to Linda.

　　If he didn’t explain it, then Linda had to remain a scapegoat.

　　What followed would be various libels and offensive language.

　　He couldn’t involve her in such dangerous circumstances whatsoever.

　　Therefore, he had to explain it clearly.

　　However, the paparazzi didn’t believe him at all, nor would they give him such opportunities.

　　Therefore, sarcastic questions came one after another.

　　“Libel? Could it prove that you are still in love with Linda, so that you mistook Mary for Linda and went to bed with her? Or else, why would you be framed up?”

　　These journalists were crazy. They would concentrate on one point and guide them towards those embarrassing topics.

　　“Mr. Mo, are you protecting her now? Are you afraid of Mr. Huo’s divorce with her?”

　　“Mr. Mo, is the kid deaf－mute because of your love affair? Is that why you gave birth to a disabled child?”

　　“Shut up!” George roared. He was so angry that his body kept shaking： “Duoduo isn’t disabled!”

　　Although Duoduo couldn’t speak, he could hear.

　　Although he couldn’t speak since his childhood, everybody around him had been very gentle.

　　The neighbors around him were all warm－hearted and kind.

　　He had never heard such sarcastic and harsh remarks, so he couldn’t cope with it and burst into tears.

　　“Duoduo is three years old, if there is really something between Nian and me, how could he grow so old? Everybody knew about Mrs. Huo’s abortion three years ago, you do the math.” George forced himself to calm down sternly.

　　The journalists started to laugh： “Mr. Mo, how can we trust you? Are you telling the truth about his age? You can lie about his age. I don’t think he looks like a three－year－old. He is two years old at most.”

　　“Two years old? Can your kid know so much at two?” George stared at the journalist and asked.

　　The journalist was a little stunned, and then he smiled： “There are so many whiz kids now. A lot of kids can talk at the age of one and recite 'Three Hundred Tang Poems’ at two years old. By the way, the kid of Linda and you is not that talented, either!”

　　“You...”

　　“Right, the person in the video was me!”

　　Suddenly, Linda broke the silence and said.
