Chapter 156 The Truth Unveiled
“It was an accident, not intentional. But with all the recent trending topics and social media hype, many people think it’s a conspiracy,” Elias said firmly.
“I investigated right after it happened. Don’t worry–I’ll bring your dad back safely.”
His eyes were resolute. Stella had been through so much pain. She’d finally found someone to dote on her, someone who loved her. He would never let her lose the father who cherished her.
“Really?” Stella asked, her voice trembling.
“It’s just a coincidence. The public opinion is too strong, so your dad is a prime suspect. That’s why they took him for questioning,” Elias explained. “Stella, go home and rest first. I’ll handle this.”
“I’ll go with you,” Stella insisted.
Elias stroked her face gently, planting a loving kiss on her forehead. “Be good. I’ll be right back.”
Looking into his comforting, doting eyes, Stella seemed to understand something. She chose to trust him.
“Elias, I’ll wait for you at home.”
“Good girl,” he said, brushing his hand through her hair softly.
As soon as he left, Elias contacted Gideon and their lawyers, meeting them at the facility where Jasper was being held.
He didn’t come empty–handed. He brought evidence, determined to clear Jasper’s name.
Jasper also demanded they show proof. If they couldn’t, he insisted they let him go.
The incident caused a huge stir online.
[User A: Did you hear? Mr. Moore was arrested! Oh no–did he poison the village?]
[User B: If he did, I respect him for it. I hope he gets a light sentence. What man could stand by while the woman he loved was hurt so badly? Now she’s gone, and people are still exploiting her.]
[User C: My goddess Stella must be crying. Her medical skills have saved so many lives. She’s kind–Shaw Foundation has helped countless people and saved so many families. But she couldn’t save her own parents. It’s so tragic.]
[User D: I saw Stella crying. No one loved her before. She fought so hard to get where she is. I thought her suffering was over–she finally has love and family. If Mr. Moore goes to jail, please be lenient.]
[User E: If Mr. Moore is guilty, those shameless media and influencers who chase clicks without a conscience are guilty too.]
[User F: Exactly! None of them are innocent–including the village kidnappers. Please go easy on him.]
[User G: Am I the only one worried about Stella? A murdered mother and a father accused of a crime-

they’re the innocent ones, but they’re suffering. I’m scared the Cross family will mind and ruin their relationship.]
[User H: Wait, no one has proven it’s Mr. Moore yet. Don’t convict him so quickly. Trust the officials.]
Stella wasn’t idle either. She was also searching for evidence.
Even though the Shaw and Moore families had been on bad terms, for Stella’s sake, the Shaws were helping Jasper. They hated to see the father and daughter separated just as they’d finally reunited.
It was a sleepless night. Jasper didn’t come home, and neither did Elias.
Early the next morning, the truth about the highly influential White Pit Village incident was finally revealed.
An official announcement spread across all social media platforms.
[After investigation by our department, online suspect Jasper Moore is not guilty of poisoning. The claim that he “wiped out the village” is completely false.
The mass poisoning in White Pit Village occurred because the village had used large amounts of realgar powder for years. When exposed to sunlight, realgar turns into arsenic. Long–term exposure to this environment is harmful to health and can easily cause poisoning.
Additionally, improper handling of realgar, medicinal herbs, and mushrooms during the village celebration led to further poisoning. Due to backward medical conditions and the remote mountain location, timely treatment was unavailable. This resulted in multiple deaths from poisoning.
Currently, the unaffected children of White Pit Village have shown signs of illness and have been admitted to major hospitals for treatment. An orphanage will temporarily take them in.
Online rumors that Elias Cross, Jasper Moore, and others acted out of revenge and disregarded human life are entirely unfounded.]
As soon as the announcement was released, public opinion shifted dramatically. Netizens flooded the
comments section.
[User A: That’s such a coincidence! Those shameless media really know how to twist the narrative. Shouldn’t they be punished for falsely accusing people?]
