Phil's press conference went very smoothly, but someone panicked when they saw it.
After reading it, Yvonne called Eric in a hurry and said in a somewhat flustered tone, "What if Phil says that he wants to sue me for framing her?"
Yvonne had never thought that she would be in such big trouble. In her opinion, if her plan to frame Emelia failed, at worst, she would be scolded by the outside world again.
How could she know that if she was making up facts to frame others, she would be punished by the penal law?
She was suddenly scared.
She didn't want to go to prison. That was not a human life at all.
After her father, Randolph, was sent to prison, she had visited her father with her mother several times. Her father seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. His hair was completely white and he was haggard.
Eric said on the phone, "Don't be afraid. They don't have real evidence in their hands. As long as they don't have evidence, they will sue you for nothing."
"Really?" Yvonne was still worried. "After all, it was a dinner party that day, and there were a lot of people attending it. Although there was no one around when Emelia went to the bathroom, what if someone was hiding in the dark?"
Now, any random mobile phone could take photos and destroy the surveillance camera. What if someone secretly took pictures of it?
Eric's tone was still calm. "Yvonne, you're too nervous now. You have to try to calm down."
Yvonne hesitated before saying, "Okay, I'll calm down. I believe you."
She had no other choice but to trust Eric. She had no power now, and she could do nothing.
As if trying to comfort her, Eric added, "I'll send someone to investigate again. If there's really something like that, I'll get rid of that person."
"Kill him?" Yvonne's voice trembled.
Although she had done many bad things, she had never killed anyone.
Eric's voice became colder. "If we don't deal with it, will we stay here and wait for him to expose us?"
As soon as Yvonne thought that she might be exposed, she immediately said, "I'll listen to you."
Eric was very satisfied. "Yvonne, you used to be protected too well by your father. This world is so cruel. It's either others or us go to death."
Yvonne, who had hung up the phone, was lying on the hospital bed. Eric was right. In order to protect themselves, she couldn't care too much.
Julian and Phil wanted to deliberately create an illusion of someone taking photos of the evidence to lure Eric into a trap. They didn't expect Eric to be so cunning that he didn't take any action all the time.
However, Julian didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains. He received a phone call. The man on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice, "Mr. Hughes, I'm Thomas Washburn."
Julian raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Thomas didn't have any good intentions towards Emelia, so Julian naturally didn't have any good impression of him.
Thomas was silent for a moment on the phone and then said, "I also went to the dinner party that night."
Julian paused for a moment and was keenly aware of the hint in Thomas's words, but he continued to ask calmly, "So?"
Thomas did not hide it. "I really want to fight for the leading actor of the drama, 'I Gotta Find you', so I kept an eye on Emelia that night. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her alone and fight for that role."
