Chapter 140 The Terrible Truth

Iris kept her eyes on his, catching a glimpse of the emotions churning inside him.

That’s when she knew her guess was right.

She had no real proof-only guesses and questions to get the answers out of him.

“Answer me.” Iris felt like a big hand was squeezing her heart. She could barely breathe, so upset she thought she’d lose her mind. She clenched her fists to hold it together, her body shaking a little.

“Did he tell you?” Arthur couldn’t believe it, his face turning cold, looking stunned.

From Arthur’s reaction, Iris could tell he was certain Julian would never say a word.

And Caleb had seemed to know Julian too-he was sure Julian would keep it to himself.

Iris smiled bitterly, a cold laugh slipping out. “Surprised? Did you think Julian would never bring this up?”

Arthur’s face got even worse.

“I don’t believe Julian is dumb enough to misunderstand me for two years because of some fake photos.” Iris’s eyes filled with tears suddenly.

She held back her anger, speaking each word slowly. “The bed photos of you and me are real. And he must have real proof, or he wouldn’t think I cheated on him the night before we got married.”

Arthur let out a long breath, staring down at the tips of his sneakers. His mood turned dark.

The more he acted like this, the surer Iris was that her guesses were right.

Iris thought back, analyzing calmly. “Two years ago, the night of April 30th, you said your paper got rejected and needed revisions. The final deadline was the morning of May 1st. If you missed it, you’d lose your chance to study abroad. You begged me, and you got Zoe to pester me too.

“You were scared someone would find out I was helping you write the paper, so you got a hotel room for You never left the whole time. Then, around three in the morning, I drank the water you gave me and fell asleep. I woke up at five or so, still fully dressed.

“I thought I was just too tired, so I got up and kept working on your paper. We left the hotel together once I finished it that morning.”

Arthur’s voice was full of apology. “I’m sorry, Iris.”
