Chapter Making 34
Chapter 34
While Tiffany’s narrative was not convincing enough, the loads of photos she had on her iPad greatly increased its persuasiveness,
And a number of the guests were now convinced Gilmore was indeed an unfaithful lover and a snobbish mammonist.
Gossip about Gilmore began to spread in the room.
used “Miss. I’m afraid these photos won’t suffice to support your allegation; they only prove one thing: that Gilmore and you to be lovers. As to whether he failed you or not, we don’t know. Just because he and my daughter are now boyfriend and girlfriend doesn’t necessarily mean he is a mammonist, isn’t it? David said with a smile calmly.
David’s words struck a chord with his guests, who were still uncertain who was telling the truth.
And their judgment was basically all based on what David or Tiffany said.
Tiffany found herself unable to provide conclusive evidence for either of her accusations against Gilmore.
All she could do was make use of people’s association and try to lead them to the conclusion that Gilmore betrayed her in pursuit of wealth.
“Sir. I understand that you prefer to believe that your daughters boyfriend is a decent and honest person, but the truth is always uglier than your fantasy. Trust me, he’s been lying to you! I’m afraid what he is truly into, is your wealth, not your daughter.”
Tiffany’s eloquent yet somewhat far-fetched remarks nearly succeeded in provide any solid proof against Gilmore.
Others from the fact–she couldn’t
But David was smarter than she thought. He chuckled, “Well, Miss, you can’t jump to the conviction without enough evidence provided. As far as I can tell, your story is based on two simple facts: one, Gilmore and my daughter have developed a relationship, and two, you and Gilmore used to have a history, but these two facts don’t inevitably lead to the conclusion that Gilmore has cheated on you, isn’t it?”
Tiffany’s face reddened at that, and she found herself unable to argue against David.
“I have the evidence. Just then, a female voice came from the audience.
All the eyes, including that of the guests, Gilmore’s, and David’s, were rested on the speaker–a girl.
It was Claire.
Tiffany’s face spontaneously turned pale at the sight of her.
She recognized that Claire was the very girl who happened to see her and Brandon dating at the Hilton Hotel.
And Claire directly slapped Brandon across the face, twice. Tiffany felt a shiver of apprehension as she recalled Claire’s intimidating manner.
Later, she learned that Claire’s family took action and pushed the Wilson family into the crisis of bankruptcy.
Therefore, Tiffany couldn’t help shuddering as she heard Claire’s voice.
Claire stepped out of the audience and came to the platform, then turned to David and Jessica and said, “Uncle, Aunt, I can prove that Gilmore truly cheated on Miss Hubbard.”

Chapter 34
David and Jessica looked at each other, wondering. ‘Claire must be joking. How can she prove that? Does she know Gilmore and Miss Hubbard and their relationship?”
David said. “OK. tell us how he betrayed Miss Hubbard.
Claire nodded, “No problem.”
She came up to Gilmore.
To the others‘ puzzlement, Gilmore didn’t seem to have shown a flicker of panic in front of the girl who was about to expose him as a liar and a cheat.
Instead, he was grinning at Claire.
Claire, too, smiled back at him, saying, “Hi, Gilmore, it’s been a while since we last met, isn’t it?”
Gilmore replied with a nod. “Yes, a long while.”
Then Claire reached out her hand to shake hands with Gilmore
All the others were rendered appalled by the scene and suspected whether their ears had lied to them.
Yet they remembered they clearly heard that Claire said she’d unmask Gilmore.
But why were they smiling at each other and shaking hands with each other?
Christine, too, was more than startled, wondering when Gilmore got acquainted with her cousin.
And it seemed, judging by their behavior, they were quite close.
More astonishingly, Christine was keenly aware that Claire, one of her cousins a few months her senior, was a forceful and aggressive girl who tended to keep her distance from men, let alone smile at or shake hands with her.
Never had Claire come so close to a man before. Even her boyfriend, Brandon, failed to touch her hand.
Although Gilmore was only a contract boyfriend of hers, not a real one, Christine felt unhappy to see him and her cousin so close.
It felt like: before enjoying a piece of cheese, you went to the bathroom, and when you returned, you found that your cheese was taken a bite of by someone else.
In the meanwhile, Tiffany didn’t feel any better than Christine. The moment she saw Gilmore and Claire shaking hands, she knew she’d be in trouble.
She attempted to escape before the others‘ attention was focused on her again; then it would be too late.
However, shortly after she turned on her heel had a sonorous voice thundered in her ear. “Where do you think you are going. Miss? We have something to find out, don’t we?”
Tiffany’s heart missed a beat.
Based on what just happened in the room, David had figured out that what Claire meant to do was to expose Tiffany as a liar and a cheat instead.
And he’d been watching Tiffany.

Chapter 31
When Tiffany tried to flee, he noticed it and stopped her.

On hearing his words, the others shift their sight back to Tiffany and found that her face was deathly pale and she appeared rather nervous.
But it didn’t stand to reason, for according to Tiffany herself, she was the one who had been betrayed, and she ought to appear indignant and assured, instead of being so nervous,
Now all the guests were quite aware of who the true liar and defigner was,
Standing amidst the guests, Marco frowned, and his eyes were filled with rage.
He never expected that Tiffany would attempt to run away, which only demonstrated that she had been lying.
“Idiot woman. You are ruining my plan. Marco silently cursed.
Tiffany felt that numerous suspicious eyes were cast on her, and felt even more nervous.
She turned to David and muttered, “I… I gotta go. I have something… something urgent.”
“You’re going nowhere!” Claire looked coldly at Tiffany, demanding
Tiffany shuddered at that, and she was almost rendered into tears. She said, ‘Just… let me go, Miss Carter, please.”
Claire smiled sneeringly. “Let you go? It’s you who wouldn’t let you go. I wonder if you have heard the saying, ‘Curses come home to roost, Miss Hubbard, but it serves you right.”
So saying. Claire came before the 50–inch TV screen, turned it on, and connected with her cellphone so as to project.
HES WERE open wide to see what she was going to do.
All eyes
As the projection was finished, there appeared a video on the TV screen.
It seemed to be a video of Brandon and Tiffany’s secret meeting
Now it was totally clear who was the betrayer.
Actually, not a few of the guests knew Brandon and learned the news that he was caught two–timing-
But little did they expect the mistress was actually Tiffany.
Now all the other people, including Marco, who’d spent a night with her, couldn’t help feeling disdain for her.
