Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Backfired

The font was large enough that no one had trouble reading it.

There was only one outgoing transaction.

It had emptied the account completely.

Iris spoke calmly.

“That transaction was made after they tricked my aunt into handing over this card. They withdrew every cent of the inheritance her parents left specifically for her, hoping to cover the losses in their company. When their investment failed, they turned around and blamed her instead.”

Samuel frowned so deeply his brows almost met.

“What exactly does that prove?”

“It proves quite a lot.”

“If someone wanted to investigate, they could trace which bank processed the withdrawal, who made it. where the money went, and whose account received it.”

Samuel shot Vanessa a furious glare.

Wasn’t she the one who had insisted Vivian was behind everything?

How were they supposed to recover from this humiliation now?

After everyone had seen the evidence, Iris put away both the bank card and her phone.

“Rumors end with those who use reason. I don’t want to hear today’s accusations repeated anywhere else.”

A warm hand suddenly rested lightly on her shoulder.

A tall figure stepped beside her, naturally shielding her from the crowd.

“As her fiancé…” Ares said with a faint smile, “…I don’t want to hear them either.”

Someone in the crowd finally recognized him.

Mr.. Mr. Barclay?”

Ares let his hand slide naturally from her shoulder and intertwined his fingers with hers.

Looking around the room, he smiled pleasantly.

“You all know what kind of methods I have…

He left the sentence unfinished

It was more than enough.

Whout another word, he led Iris back toward the private dining room.

The people left standing by the staircase stared at one another in stunned silence.

“Why didn’t you tell us she’s Ares Barclay’s fiancée?”

“Since when does Ares Barclay have a fiancée?”

Vanessa, burning with embarrassment, snapped.

“Are you all missing the point? The important thing is that Vivian and that girl tricked us!”

A middle–aged woman adjusted her curled hair and shrugged.

“What does that have to do with us? We were only watching the drama. We never said we’d help you seek justice.”

Who in their right mind would offend Ares over complete strangers?

Besides…

“The young lady showed actual evidence. What evidence do you have? You’ve told us a long story, but where’s your proof?”

Vanessa fell silent,

The anonymous phone call had come from an unknown number.

She hadn’t even thought to record it.

“Let’s go.” Samuel finally exploded. “Stop embarrassing yourselves.”

With a furious wave of his sleeve, he turned and walked away.

This was all Vanessa’s fault. She had kept whispering in his ear, encouraging him every step of the way.

He had always been a cautious businessman.

Now everything had backfired.

Not only had Vivian completely given up on helping them, but they had also offended Iris–and, by

extension, Ares.

Vanessa hurried after him.

“Why are you leaving? We can’t just walk away! We still haven’t gotten the money back!”

“You’re still thinking about the money? You saw the transaction history yourself? Not a single cent ever went back into that account!

“You keep it” Vivian pushed it back toward her. “It isn’t safe with me.

Who knew what Vanessa might try next?
