He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 433

The man was Julian. Dressed in a perfectly tailored dark grey suit, his usually warm and approachable face was currently set in stone. He looked entirely different from the gentle, refined man everyone knew.

Standing just a half-step behind him was Commissioner Gunnar Stetson, a man whose influence in Bay City's political and business circles was unmatched. The Commissioner's face was ashen, his eyes sharp as a hawk's as he glared at Sylvia, Yardley, and the rest of their group.

Ignoring the collective gasp from the crowd, Julian held up the two DNA reports for everyone to see.

"The first report is a paternity test between myself and my ex-wife, Sylvia's child. The results conclusively rule out any biological relationship."

Julian opened the second folder, his voice rising in volume. "The second report is a paternity test between Scarlett's daughter and Yardley. The results confirm, without a shadow of a doubt, that Yardley is her biological father."

"I specifically invited Commissioner Stetson here tonight to verify that these two reports are absolutely authentic and legally binding."

Gunnar stepped forward. His gaze was piercing, and his voice carried the heavy, unquestionable weight of authority.

"Everything Mr. Croft just stated is the absolute truth."

"My presence here tonight is no coincidence. We received a report that someone at this charity gala deliberately forged legal documents and medical records with the intent to frame another individual and cause a severe public disturbance."

"These actions are direct violations of the Penal Code regarding the forgery of legal documents and criminal defamation. The severity of this offense cannot be overstated!"

"Furthermore, regarding the serious allegations of fraud within the charity's financial records, and the actions of those using a philanthropic event to incite a mob and maliciously slander others—my officers are currently waiting outside and will be launching a full investigation immediately."

"I have spent my entire life despising frauds and hypocrites. I am here today not only to bear witness for Mr. Croft but to remind everyone that the law is not to be toyed with. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied!"

Gunnar's declaration plunged the room into a deafening silence.

Julian's voice grew even heavier. "So... I have to ask you, Yardley. Who exactly forged the report you're holding?"

"To frame Scarlett, your family really stopped at nothing. You were even willing to slander your own flesh and blood, claiming your daughter wasn't yours!"
