She stepped in front of everyone.
“I already told you!”
“Caleb made all of this up because he wants to leave me!”
“Yes, I admit I know Brantli.”
“But that’s only because he helped me at the campsite.”
“That’s it.”
“There is absolutely nothing else between us.”
“If you go to his company and cause trouble for him, aren’t you just making things harder for him?”
“If his job is affected because of you, then you’ll be spreading rumors!”
“Can you afford that kind of legal liability?!”
After hearing that, many people started hesitating.
I let out a cold laugh.
“Bree.”
“Just now, you said you never interacted with any other men there.”
“But now you’re admitting you know him.”
“And you’re saying he helped you?”
“What’s next?”
“Are you going to tell everyone that you two only hugged and kissed, but never slept together?”
The moment I said that, Bree’s eyes filled with tears again.
“Caleb…”
“I don’t care what you think you saw.”
“But I really didn’t…”
“That’s not for you to decide.”
“Just now, you and your parents tried to force my family into a corner.”
“You wanted to destroy us.”
“Since you chose to do that…”
“I won’t give you any more chances to twist the truth.”
Then I turned to everyone.
“Everyone.”
“I’ll stake my reputation on this.”
“If I’m lying, I’ll accept any punishment.”
“And I’ll pay for any damages.”
Hearing that, an older neighbor nodded.
“Fine.”
“I’m going.”
“I’ve known Caleb since he was a kid.”
“If he’s willing to say something like this…”
“Then I believe there has to be truth behind it.”
“Right now, I just wanna make those two cheaters pay for what they did.”
The others quickly agreed.
Ignoring Bree’s attempts to stop me, I headed straight toward Brantli’s workplace.
Soon, we arrived at Lunaris Group’s housing.
The place was beautifully decorated.
It didn’t look like employee housing at all.
My friend was already waiting at the entrance.
Beside him stood a middle-aged man carrying a laptop.
I recognized him immediately.
He was the forensic expert my friend had contacted.
After shaking his hand, I walked straight to Brantli’s door.
My friend pointed inside.
“Caleb.”
“It’s winter break.”
“He didn’t go home.”
“He’s inside right now.”
“Want me to kick the door open?”
I shook my head and stepped forward.
“No.”
“We’re not here to force anything.”
“We’ll let the facts and the truth speak for themselves.”
Bree tried to stop us again.
But my friend blocked her.
“Easy, Bree.”
“Are you really that desperate to reunite with your affair partner?”
Bree’s face instantly turned red.
“Liam Miller!”
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
George glared at him.
“Watch your mouth!”
“Or I’ll shut you up myself!”
His voice was still aggressive.
But compared to before, he no longer sounded as confident.
I ignored them.
I simply stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
I wasn’t here to get revenge.
I just wanted the truth.
Soon, the door opened.
Brantli stood there with messy hair and sleepy eyes.
But the moment he saw the crowd outside, he immediately woke up.
“You’ve got the wrong address.”
The next second, he tried to close the door.
But I reacted quickly and blocked it.
I looked at him calmly.
“Don’t be so quick to shut the door.”
“There are a few things you need to answer first.”
He gave an awkward laugh.
“We don’t even know each other.”
“What do you want from me?”
“I need to rest.”
“Don’t bother me.”
I let out a cold laugh.
“You’re right.”
“We don’t know each other.”
“But there is someone you definitely know.”
As I spoke, I stepped aside.
Bree appeared in his line of sight.
The moment he saw her, he spoke without thinking.
“Baby?”
“Why are you here?”
“Who are all these people?”
That intimate way of addressing her immediately exposed the truth.
They didn’t just know each other.
Their relationship was clearly much closer than they wanted everyone to believe.
Bree immediately pretended they were strangers.
“Brantli.”
“Although you’ve helped me before, I’ve already told you.”
“Please call me by my name.”
“My husband doesn’t believe our relationship is innocent.”
“That’s why he’s here to ask you questions.”
“Just answer him honestly.”
I almost laughed.
She wasn’t denying anything.
She was warning Brantli.
I ignored her.
Instead, I played the audio recording again.
The moment Brantli heard the voices, panic flashed across his face.
Then he frowned.
He forced out an awkward laugh.
“Bro.”
“Where did you get this audio recording?”
“Don’t tell me you’re trying to blackmail me with some fake recording?”
I smiled faintly.
“You think I’m blackmailing you?”
“Then let’s settle this with a bet.”
