Chapter 280 Revealing Everything
"No wonder she was so lively before. She's quite the actor!"

"Thinking back on how she relentlessly smeared her own brother's name in the past now makes me feel sick to my stomach."
"They're insane! Both mother and daughter are insane, treating their own family like this."
"Not only are they sick in the head, but they're vicious too. Both mother and daughter are malicious to the core. The words 'evil' and 'cruel' could be etched onto their foreheads. It's such a misfortune for Damien to have relatives like these."
"Joining forces with outsiders to go against one's own son is truly an action beyond ordinary comprehension."
"Oliver isn't any better. He just called Damien an animal. I think he's the one who's more like it."
"Still trying to play the victim, huh? Why not look in the mirror to see if you even have the brains for that!"
"What a scumbag! He actually conspired to sabotage his own cousin, even going as far as to offer up his own fiancée. Look at the expressions on the faces of the Carney family members. This is utterly humiliating!"
The Winters family members, too, were looking rather grim. Everyone's eyes instinctively turned toward Lydia. As Oliver's mother, they had expected her to be livid. However, to everyone's surprise, she remained calm and composed, simply sitting there. Seeing her in this state, Ava was absolutely livid, her eyes turning bright red with rage. She struggled wildly again, and had her mouth not been gagged and her body restrained, she would have likely rushed over and berated Lydia by now.
Isabella, who was initially enjoying the spectacle, suddenly felt something was off. After all, Ava's animosity toward Lydia was completely undisguised at this moment. Could it be just because Lydia had people keeping them restrained now?
At this point, Oliver had basically let all the cats out of the bag. Seeing Damien's upset expression, Oliver chuckled. "I haven't treated you unfairly. I never laid a hand on Deborah, and now she's all yours. Consider her a trade for the heir's position. You're already down and out anyway. Once Deborah returns, everything will come to an end."
Pausing briefly, Oliver then arrogantly said, "Perhaps, if you kneel and beg me now, I might consider sparing you some dignity. However, don't even dream about laying a finger on the heir's position. After all, you're destined to be defeated by me."
At that moment, Damien's demeanor began to change. He scoffed, "Defeated? You resorted to such despicable tactics to win against me, and you're proud of it? You've truly let Aunt Lydia down."
"Shut up! I gave you a chance, but you're not taking it, are you? Fine, then I'll make sure you're convicted for forcing yourself on Deborah." Oliver was instantly filled with rage when he saw Damien's defiance.
"Hah! Do you really think Deborah would still cooperate with you after you drugged her?"
"She's woman who wat mahad with her fiancé's

enough, she'll play the victim later on. Otherwise, her reputation will be completely ruined. But even if she wants to pretend that nothing happened, it won't work. It all depends on whether I agree or not," Oliver said smugly. Damien was so amused that he chuckled. "Do you really think everything's going to work out in your favor?"
Oliver failed to notice the complete shift in Damien's tone, as he was hopelessly engrossed in the scheme he had spun himself.
"What, you think I can't do it? It's actually quite simple; all we need to do is get a doctor to examine Deborah to see if she's been with someone recently! There's no room for excuses here. If she refuses the examination, then she's clearly hiding something! As soon as the words fell, the sound of a fist hitting flesh rang out.
"What right do you have to do that? Who do you think you are?" Damien was furious.
Just moments ago, he was skillfully setting up his trap, but now, due to Oliver's shameless assumptions, he was struggling to maintain his composure.
Even Isabella and the others hadn't anticipated that Oliver was planning to use moral blackmail, tactic that was essentially an insult to the dignity of Deborah, the young lady of a prestigious family.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to Deborah on the stage. Her eyes were downcast, and her face seemed as if it was encased in ice.
"Go ahead, hit me. The harder you hit, the worse they'll think of you when we go in later, hahaha!" Oliver, unable to beat Damien in a fight, deliberately tried to provoke him.
Damien was panting before he eventually let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Oliver, you're truly beyond redemption. But don't get too smug; do you really think you can succeed? Let me tell you, in reality, nothing happened between Deborah and me." Oliver was taken aback, then immediately retorted, "Impossible! If nothing happened, what were you two hiding from?"
"Don't you know how long the drug you gave me would last?" Damien's voice was icy. "If the two of us really were up to something, do you think I would be awake at this moment?"
Just as expected, when this was mentioned, Oliver became doubtful and didn't voice any rebuttal.
"True, I was drugged, and so was Deborah, but I still had my wits about me. I hurt my hand to stay alert while waiting for rescue," Damien continued.
It seemed as if Oliver had a moment of clarity. "Alexander and Isabella!"
"That's right. Our friends brought a doctor to take us for treatment, and we just got back," said Damien. "So your plan was useless. Deborah is still an innocent woman. You can't harm her." Cliver's entertainment was abruptly interrupted, causing his face to darken instantly. He glared at Damien with a menacing look, but then, as a thought crossed his mind, he began to laugh.
"So that's how it is, huh? Why did you ask to meet me alone, if not because you're unsure yourself? Even if you insist that nothing happened, who would believe that? We found a crime scene! I can still demand that

Deborah be investigated, whether she agrees or not. I've made my suspicions and speculations about you clear. I refuse to believe that the Winters family would still announce you as the heir with such suspicion hanging over you!" "What crime scene?" Damien immediately furrowed his brows.
Oliver was once again filled with smugness.
"Of course, I'm referring to the room left behind after you slept together."
"Bullsh*t! That room must be another set-up of yours."
"So what? You can only say you're unlucky, because... that was left by me and your sister. It's your own fault for hiding away. Since it just so happened that someone discovered the room, I decided to leave it for you, hahaha."
Oliver still had a habit of hurting him from the perspective of Damien's family. Flaunting that he had slept with his sister and even conspiring with her to trap him, all these actions deeply satisfied Oliver.
However, for the present Damien, it didn't matter anymore. After all, his heart had completely broken away from the mother and daughter duo the moment he was manipulated.
However, astonishment reigned in the ballroom.
Everyone was left lamenting. No wonder the ungrateful sister treated her own brother this way. It turned out she was favoring outsiders over her own family.
Once again, it was clear to see that the world of the wealthy was truly chaotic, and poor Damien was really unfortunate.
At this point, Ruby's face had turned an unflattering shade of red. Even though she had willingly agreed to sleep with Oliver, she didn't want to be openly discussed like this. Oliver, on the other hand, was someone who didn't know how to hold his tongue. How could he blurt out everything like that?
This time, it was truly over.
Yet no one noticed that Ava, who had been desperately struggling just moments before, quieted down as if her spirit had left her body upon hearing Oliver's words. She was as still as death itself.
