Chapter 313 Incredibly Tricky
Aiden frantically cast his mind back on it. "Have I met her before? Or did she make it all up?"

At this point, Alexander finally spoke, "I had someone look into it earlier. Yvonne indeed attended the same high school as you and even studied abroad at the same school."
Aiden didn't particularly pay any mind to why Alexander had suddenly decided to investigate Yvonne. He furrowed his brows, trying hard to remember, but he simply couldn't recall anything.
The conversation in the first part of the recording caused the expressions of Aiden and Ines to change slightly.
They both recalled that most painful memory.
Aiden immediately turned his anxious gaze toward Ines. It was then that it dawned upon him why she was so upset. He figured she must've been reminded of that disturbing incident, which explained why she was so easily led astray by Yvonne's lies.
"That d*mned Yvonne! What on earth is she blabbering about? How many times is she going to tarnish my reputation? She must be sick! A true lunatic!" Aiden's frustration mounted, and he swore solemnly, "I've never laid a hand on her, and neither do I even remember her existence. Ines, you're the only one for me. Rest assured, I don't need you to believe me mentally. I'll prove it to you with evidence by contacting my classmates abroad later. I refuse to believe that no one can vouch for me!"
At that moment, after witnessing Aiden's actions, everyone had firmly taken his side.
Ines finally broke down, throwing herself into Aiden's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, Aiden, I'm so sorry. It was my lack of confidence, it was me..."
Aiden didn't want Ines to utter those words, nor did he want her to recall those events. He wanted her to remain pure and lovely.
He held her in his arms, his eyes filled with frosty resolve. Yvonne, that psychopath! She's made Ines so upset. I'll never let her get away with it!
Upon hearing the latter part of the recording where Yvonne declared to protect Aiden, everyone couldn't help but mock her. Even Aiden himself let out a derisive chuckle.
Elaine couldn't help but comment, "She certainly thinks highly of herself. Isn't it possible for people to fall in love at first sight or grow to love someone within their social circle? Does she think it's only right to find someone from a completely different world, like she did, to prove that it's true love?"
"This seems more like a rash impulse in a moment of irrationality," Deborah said coldly.
At this point, Alexander abruptly stopped the recording. The others looked at him curiously. "That's it?" asked Roland.
Alexander calmly nodded.
"I thought they were going to conspire some sort of scheme." Damien scoffed,

that night, then he might've realized the truth by now. So, he's probably hiding everything, intending to let Aiden take the blame," Roland concluded, looking at Aiden. "This is a complicated matter. How do you plan to handle it?" Aiden snapped, "I'll find a way to expose her affair with Elijah! How dare those two idiots scheme against
me?"
"Will she use the child's matter to make a fuss?" Deborah asked.
"Are you out of your mind? There's a recording. The child isn't even Mr. Ralph's. How can she use it as an amulet?" said Elaine.
"But only the recording can be used to prove that the child isn't his. Even then, it'd be hard for Aiden to prove himself," remarked Damien.
"By the way, what exactly is going on with that child? Ines, can you elaborate?" Elaine asked, her curiosity piqued.
Ines had already stopped crying, and only then did she remember the matter regarding the photo.
Thinking of it now, she figured it was probably the farewell gathering for the exchange students on their last day. Amidst the drunken revelry, someone had snapped a photo of the two of them together. At that time, Aiden was preoccupied with his own concerns, completely oblivious to who was sitting beside
him.
However, others might not see it the same way. If the photo and recording were being put together, it would become a double-sided blade that could potentially backfire on Aiden. Undoubtedly, the situation was incredibly tricky.
"That fellow must've done it on purpose. She must've deliberately done that so that she can pretend you're the cause of her fall. It's just like in those historical dramas," Elaine said. 1.8K
