The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 723

Fate was a cruel joke. Out of all the places in the world Catherine and Lorinda could have chosen, they had ended up right back in Eldervale.

Amanda's account was incredibly detailed, but she couldn't provide any concrete evidence.

The moment she finished speaking, Aaron had her escorted off the stage.

The reporters assumed the live broadcast was over.

To their shock, Aaron led Lemuel up to the podium next.

Lemuel hadn't slept a wink. Looking utterly exhausted, he stood before the cameras and, word by word, detailed how Geoffrey had forced him to play the fool for years.

The scars and bruises on his body were all the proof he needed.

The undeniable evidence of Geoffrey's abuse!

This revelation sent the media into an absolute frenzy. The atmosphere reached a boiling point, and soon, swarms of reporters completely blockaded both the Lee Group headquarters and the Lee family estate.

Upon seeing the broadcast, Lorinda immediately called Catherine.

"What exactly is Lance doing? Going on a complete rampage? Did the Lee family do something to you?"

Catherine was sitting in her living room, watching the same broadcast, her mind a whirlwind of emotions.

"The Lee family probably did something that crossed his line," she replied softly.

Lorinda wasn't buying it. "If Lance wanted to crush the Lee family from the start, he wouldn't have waited this long. He was holding back for your sake. The Lees must have done something unforgivable to force his hand like this. Look closely—whether it's the articles or the interviews, he's completely scrubbed your existence from the narrative."

It was an open secret that Catherine was Geoffrey's biological daughter.

But right now, the public's attention was entirely consumed by Lemuel's abuse and the fact that Geoffrey had orchestrated Lorinda's kidnapping, causing Davis and his wife to suffer for over two decades.

Catherine had been flawlessly shielded from the crossfire.

"Catherine, be honest with me. How are things between you and Lance lately?"

Lorinda prodded, trying to fish for details. "After everything he's doing for you, hasn't your heart fluttered even a little?"

"I haven't thought about it," Catherine stated plainly.

Maybe catching feelings was a split-second thing, but ever since her divorce, she had completely given up on the idea of romance.
