Nell turned her head slightly to look at Sylvia. “Old Madam Jennings, are you so sure that you have destroyed all the evidence and the winning ticket is in your hand?”
Sylvia’s face changed.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
“You don’t have to understand, as long as they can understand.”
Nell suddenly opened her bag and took out a recording pen.
Immediately afterward, sections of recordings started playing on the recorder.
Everyone held their breath and focused.
They were listening to the excerpt of a conversation between the four people from the Jennings family.
Shaun, “Who is causing trouble here? First, it was pig’s blood and now it’s online postings. This is obviously going against our family!”
Sylvia, “Who else could it be? The person who dares to spread this news, besides that b*tch, no one else will!”
Shaun, “As long as we’re miserable, she’ll be happy, such a b*tch! If I knew this earlier, I wouldn’t have let her stay twenty years ago! Now that the woman has finally been rid of, she’s out to get me again!”
Sylvia, “It’s fine to talk about this to me in private but you’re not allowed to mention this in front of Sally and Celine.”
Shaun, “What’s there to hide since we’re all from the same family.”
Sylvia, “That wife of yours is said to be loyal to you but she’s unpredictable. Back then, she didn’t hesitate to kill Cathy with the car, and that shows how vicious she is. Nowadays, people can easily change so don’t tell her everything, and as for Celine…”
Sally, “So what if I rammed her to death? A person dies the way a lamp goes out. It has been five years, what can she find out?”
Celine, “But mom, I’m still afraid that…”
Sally, “Don’t be afraid, five years ago I killed her mother. If needed, five years later I can kill her too! She’s asking for it!”
Shaun, “It was me who was involved with that Morrison woman to establish the Jennings family business, but she wanted to give the entire business to that brat and doesn’t even appreciate what I did, which is horrible!”
Sally, “The Jennings family means nothing. If this is successful, then Celine will be propelled to a high status. When that day comes, not only the Jennings family but other families will play up to us. Shaun, look further, nothing good comes from being near-sighted.”
Shaun, “You’re right, this must go through successfully! No misadventure is allowed!”
Celine, “Mom, I don’t want to be Nell’s second.”
Sally, “You wish! Because of the previous incident, everyone thinks you’re a selfish and evil person that will harm your sister to achieve your goals.
If you’re the supporting actress in this show and Nell is the main actress, you can say that Nell wanted to join the entertainment industry and you as the younger sister, to help your sister, didn’t hesitate to be her supporting cast.
By that time, everyone will think you’re the sentimental one. Moreover, your acting skills are better than Nell’s. So when both of you star in the same show together, and they realize that you got the supporting role with great acting but she got the main role with her terrible acting, guess what the others would say?”
Celine, “They will feel that Nell got the role in some other way!”
Sally, “Yes, that’s right, then we’ll add fuel to the fire and her reputation will be gone!”
…
The recording lasted a whole ten minutes.
