Chapter 25
After a brief kiss, Adrian regained his composure. Though he felt a bit reluctant, he put on a loving expression and turned to Megan , expressing his admiration for her. Meanwhile, Mr Anderson and claire sat below the stage, chatting with Derrick with smiles on their faces.
After Adrian finished speaking, he took Megan's hand and walked to the side. The host took the microphone and said, "Let's wish this couple a happy and sweet life together. Now, it's time for our dance party. Have fun, everyone!" With that, the host stepped down from the stage, and the music slowly started playing.Manon refused several people and slowly walked to the French window, holding a glass of wine but not drinking it. She looked outside, but her eyes were fixed on Derrick and claire .
As the melodious accompaniment began, Derrick slowly walked to Claire's side and bent down slightly, extending his hand. "Claire , would you like to dance with me?"
Claire didn't say anything and slowly looked at the man beside her. Mr Anderson gave her a cold glance. Ever since the incident at the bar, he had been cold to Claire. However, Derrick was Claire's godfather in name, and he couldn't be too indifferent in front of him. He forced a smile and said, "Claire , since your godfather invited you, you should accept. I'm a rough man and don't know anything about elegant dancing."
Upon hearing this, Claire placed her hand in Derrick's palm and said, "Okay."
Derrick looked at her hands in his, rubbed his fingertips against hers a few times, and led her to the dance floor. Manon stood by the French window, watching the two figures in the dance floor with cold eyes. She lowered her head and played with her phone, slowly turning the camera towards the two of them and recording a video.
With a slight curl of her lips, she tapped the screen with her slender fingers and sent the video to Derrick's wife. Before returning to the Anderson family, she had instructed her friend to investigate everything about the Anderson family. Derrick was nothing more than a person similar to her father . He had started out relying on his wife, and gradually became a capital tycoon. As his company grew, he couldn't stand his overbearing and ferocious wife, who began to cheat on him outside. He claimed to have adopted a goddaughter, but in reality, he was involved in some shady business dealings...
In the video, derrick and claire were very close to each other, and Derrick even whispered in her ear from time to time. Their posture was very ambiguous. Manon tilted her head slightly to look at her father , who had been watching them all along. Obviously, he had also sensed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, and his veins were bulging with anger.
With her lips deeply sunken in, Manon's eyes flickered as she dialed her friends number. "Let's begin."
Davis responded quickly on the other end of the line. "Okay, sister!"
The sound of typing on a keyboard could be heard, followed by the sound of people inhaling at the banquet.
The video of Adrian and Megan's love suddenly became dark, and a naked man and woman appeared on the screen. The woman's moans and the man's gasps were mixed together, making it clear what they were doing.
As the woman's voice came through, Claire's face instantly turned pale. She froze and stared at the screen in disbelief.
Mr Anderson was also stunned. After reacting, he strode over to the two of them and slapped Claire in the face.
Derrick had not yet reacted, and claire was already lying on the ground. He looked dazed and panicked, twisting his hands.
Manon walked calmly over to the three of them and looked innocently at Claire . "Ms. Claire , when did you start having a relationship with Mr. Derrick?"Her tone was full of curiosity. She paused and tilted her head slightly. "Megan , are you really my father's daughter?"
As soon as this question was asked, not only Mr Anderson and Claire , but also everyone present, their faces changed instantly.
When did Claire have a relationship with Derrick? It seemed that Claire had recognized her godfather for more than ten years, then what about Megan ...
Everyone present was confused, although they were full of speculation in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces.
When Manon said this, Claire's heart was in chaos, struggling to pounce on Manon.
"You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about! Megan is your father's biological daughter! How dare you speak nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Manon slowly retreated two steps, her eyes full of innocence. "Ms. Claire , what did I say wrong? I just raised a question. Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
"You little bastard! You should have died with your mother!" Claire hadn't even touched Manon yet, but was slapped to the ground again by Mr Anderson. She fell to the ground, her eyes seeing stars.
"You are a disgraceful thing! How dare you make a scene in front of me!" Mr Anderson face was iron-blue, and he looked at Claire on the ground with cold eyes.
The situation had developed to this point, and his gaze fell on Megan not far away, who was full of shock. The seed of suspicion in his heart slowly sprouted and quickly grew into a towering tree.
"Which bitch dared to seduce my husband!"
With several curses, a slightly tall woman appeared at the banquet.
The show was about to begin...
Manon's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and she stepped back a few steps to the side.
The person who came was Derrick' wife.
She spotted Derrick at a glance and hurriedly walked to his side. Just as the voice of a woman on the screen came through, Derrick was too late to stop it. She looked up and saw the erotic scene.
Anger rose in her heart. She looked around and her gaze fell on Claire , who was on the ground. She immediately connected her with the woman on the screen and grabbed her hair without hesitation.
"You slut! How dare you seduce my husband! I'll make you lose face, you whore!"
As she spoke, she raised her other hand and hit Claire's face without mercy. Claire had just been beaten by Mr Anderson and was still dizzy. Now she was suddenly lifted up by Derrick wife and had no strength to resist.
Seeing Claire in this state, Derrick was full of anxiety. He frowned, but did not step forward to help Claire . Instead, he kept explaining to his wife , who was beside him, "My dear, you have to believe me. I don't know where this video came from. That woman must have drugged me. Otherwise, how could I touch any woman other than you? You know, you are the only one in my heart, right?"
His wife ignored him completely. She threw Claire aside and kicked her twice in a fit of resentment. "You slut, how dare you seduce my husband! Look at yourself before you judge others!"
