Chapter 45 Abandoning Her Husband and Son
No one knew why Florence took out a laptop at this time.
Colleen pretended that she was giving dying kicks.
What did it matter even if she called the police?
As long as she slandered Florence, it would ruin Florence's reputation so that Colleen would achieve the goal, and that would be enough.
Colleen winked at Thiago secretly. It seemed that Thiago was honest, but in fact he was shrewd.
As soon as he heard Florence was going to call the police, Thiago looked at Florence with deep sorrow and said, "Are you really going to be so cruel? Florence, we were once husband and wife. Even if you hate me, our son is innocent."
As he was talking, Thiago cried and won the sympathy of many people.
Thiago hugged the little boy and cried bitterly, "Son, I am a useless father. I can't give you a complete home. After I am dead, you will be sent to the orphanage. Don't blame your mom. She wants to live a rich life. She isn't wrong."
Florence looked coldly, staring at Thiago indifferently. Every word he said was really vicious.
Obviously, he was accusing her of being cold-blooded and selfish.
The little boy cried sadly and hugged Thiago. "Dad, don't die. Mommy. I don't want Mommy. Mommy is bad."
The discussion in the banquet hall became more intense.
Brielle couldn't go on listening to what they said, so she said angrily, "Someone come here to drive these two people out! What do you think this place is?"
A security guard came in immediately. Florence raised her hand and said, "Godmother, wait."
From beginning to end, Florence was very calm, as if she was just an outsider watching a play. She was typing quickly with both hands on the keyboard, and no one could see what she was doing.
At this time, how could she be in a mood to play on the laptop?
Florence was really heartless.
Allison stepped forward showing an expression as if Florence had failed to meet her expectations and said, "Florrie, why are you so cold-blooded. This is your son."
William who was upstairs was so anxious and said, "Boss, if it keeps going on in this way, nothing can clear Ms. Scott's name."
From where Alexander was standing, he could see exactly what Florence was doing.
At this time, Florence was able to keep calm in the face of danger and she deserved to be the woman he was in love with.
"No, she will take care of it." Alexander was no longer worried. On the contrary, if he deal with the matter by himself, Florence would be not able to clear her name.
Seeing Florence was completely indifferent, Colleen was also anxious and said, "Sis, you have to say something. The kid is so pathetic. How can you have the heart to..."
"You are right. The kid is so pathetic. How could you use a child so cruelly to set up a scam?"
Florence interrupted Colleen sharply, showing the screen of the laptop to everyone. "Treachery should be caught on scene. Even if you want to slander me, you'd better find someone who is better at retouching photos. How dare you to take out such a fake photo?"
"This is a photo of me when I was working. It was taken at a cocktail party, but I didn't expect that it would be used by someone and he would take a stack of composite photos to talk sheer nonsense."
On the screen of the laptop, it was the photos that Thiago took out just now, but they were obviously composite.
After seeing the photos on the laptop, everyone understood.
These photos were fake. The face in those photos were Florence's, but it was obviously taken from the photo that was taken at the cocktail party.
Colleen and Allison also looked at each other. They didn't expect that Florence were so good at computers.
At that time, she just randomly searched for a few photos online, but she had never thought that it would be exposed on the spot by Florence.
Brielle looked at the photos and she became even angrier and pointed at Thiago furiously. "How dare you use such a despicable way to frame my goddaughter. What do you want? There is no need to wait for the police to come. Someone come here, catch him and just send him to the police station."
Thiago panicked too. He glanced at Colleen, and pushed the little boy forward. "I didn't slander her. He is Florence's child. I can do a paternity test to prove that I am not lying."
"Ridiculous." Florence sneered and said, "You can take any child and say he is my son. A paternity test? You think I will do it? You bring one child today, then another one tomorrow, then it will be
endless. You think law is just a decoration?"
Everyone was talking about it.
"Yeah, this photo is obviously fake. Besides, that man doesn't look very good, so how could Ms. Scott fall in love with him?"
"He brought a child here at the banquet. I think this man is very scheming. He just looks honest."
"Mrs. Cooper just promised to give 3% of the shares as a dowry to Florence. Then he immediately took the child to recognize his mother. Obviously, he was doing it for the money."
"I don't think this man can set up such a vicious scam. He might be instigated by someone."
"Who do you think it will be?"
Zachary, who went to the bathroom and came out, knew that something was wrong, and stood in front of Florence to protect her.
"Tell me! Who ask you to do so? Are you instructed by these two women?
Zachary feared nothing, so how could he be afraid of offending Allison and Colleen.
Seeing that the scam was exposed, Thiago suddenly fell onto the ground with shortness of breath. He was twitching and foaming at the mouth. Everyone was scared and stepped back.
Colleen said hastily, "Send him to the hospital tight now! No one wants to be a murderer. Sis, at least it's a human life."
The little boy was also scared and cried. "Dad, Dad..."
Brielle was also worried that someone would die here and said, "Come on. Take him to the hospital."
As long as Thiago left here, what he had done today would just disappear. The misunderstanding that Florence was having a bastard couldn't be clarified. Then it would be a stain of her from now on.
That was exactly what Colleen thought in mind.
But how could Florence let them go so easily? C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
When the security guards came forward, Florence walked over to Thiago's side, squatted down, and pressed her hands on Thiago's chest.
Colleen was anxious. A viciousness flashed in her eyes, and said, "Sis what are you doing? Come on. He is going to die. It will be too late if he isn't sent to the hospital right now! You can't just see him die!"
"Shut up."
Florence stared at her with a sharp look, and then pressed Thiago's chest with her hands, and leaned over Thiago's ear to say something in a voice that only two people could hear. Thiago stopped twitching and opened his eyes. There was panic inside his eyes.
"It's amazing. Ms. Scott can even save a man! It's amazing "
"Ms. Scott is really kind. She repaid grievance with virtue even though this man slandered her."
Colleen's eyes flashed a touch of surprise. "Florence, what did you do? What did you say to him? Why is he alright?"
As soon as Colleen finished speaking, the sound of police sirens came from outside. Thiago panicked, and ran away. He was not lame at all.
It suddenly became clear to everyone that he was pretending to be lame and was fishing for sympathy.
Florence acted quickly, grabbed Thiago's shoulders and brought him under control by a shoulder throw.
She did not practice taekwondo for nothing.
Thiago was thrown on the ground, and everyone gasped.
Some felt shocked, some admired Florence, and others were envious.
William on the second floor exclaimed, "Ms. Scott is so fierce! Boss, will you be able to bear it in the future?"
Alexander's mouth was filled with a smile without saying a word.
Andrew said, "Mr. Logan, I need to go now."
It was almost time to end this show. Andrew should also show up.
“Okay." Alexander replied and went on drinking tea.
Thiago was subdued, and the police came at this time. One of the policemen recognized Thiago and said, "You son of bi*ch! You had been in jail for six years and were just let out of prison. And now you commit another crime again. You are addicted to jail? Go with me."
Six years in prison?
This man said that he was in a relationship with Florence five years ago.
Based on what the police said, everyone realized that this was indeed a slander.
Thiago immediately asked Colleen for help. "Ms. Scott, save me! Ms. Scott, you've promise me that I will be fine."
His words caused everyone in the hall to be astonished again.
It turned out that it was the second lady of the Scott family who asked someone to frame Florence.
How could she come up with such a vicious plot?
Everyone looked at Colleen. She avoided everyone's eyes. She panicked, and stepped back subconsciously faltering and couldn't say anything.
Florence stared at Colleen. "Dear sis, shouldn't you explain to everyone and tell us what is going on?"
"I don't know this man at all. How do I know what he is talking about?" Colleen passed the buck.
Isabella started to talk and said, "Obviously, you are on the side of that man. If you don't know him, who will believe that? Otherwise, why did he ask you for help instead of someone else?"
Florence was a little surprised. She didn't expect Isabella would speak for her.
Colleen denied it and said, "I wasn't on his side just now because I just felt this man pathetic. How could I know that this man is a fraud?"
"Ms. Scott, how can you cast me aside after I helped you?" Thiago stared at Colleen and said in an agitated tone, "It's you who asked me do this."
"You are talking nonsense! I don't even know you. Why would I ask you do this." Colleen refused to admit it, and it would be over if she admitted it. She cast a glance at Thomas for help.
Thomas frowned but didn't say a word. He wouldn't be so stupid to pay for Colleen's idiot behavior.
Allison said, "liar! How can we believe what a prisoner said? Besides, Florrie, you used to be capricious and acted recklessly. So, we do think you have a relationship with him. After all, he didn't seem to be telling a lie, and you..."
"This man dares to slander my daughter. I can't let him go easily. My daughter is innocent. How can she be slandered?"
It was Lincoln who was speaking. He spoke for Florence at this time, and just wanted to ease the relationship with her.
Florence was valued by the Cooper family, so he could not let Florence be slandered.
Of course Florence knew what Lincoln meant, but she didn't appreciate it.
Brielle assumed the posture of a mom who was protecting her daughter and said, "If anyone dares to slander Florrie again, I am the first one who will not let that person go."
She was not only protecting Florence, but also protecting the reputation of the Cooper family.
Camden suddenly stepped forward at this moment and said, "Ms. Scott, forgive and forget. The rumour monger has been arrested. You can't hold on to it forever. You should be magnanimous."
Huh!
Florence sneered and fought back, "what Mr. Tucker said about being magnanimous is that even someone is framed, he would leave himself to be butchered and connive the crime?"
It was easy for him to say so.
Camden couldn't hide his feeling on face. He didn't expect that after he stepped forward to say something, Florence would still hold on to it, and didn't show him any respect.
Of course, why would Florence show him respect?
Who did he think he was?
"Florrie, how can you talk to Mr. Tucker like this?" Andrew walked over with a smile and blamed Florence but there was no culpability in his tone. "The rumor is destroying your reputation. It is your right to decide whether you will get to the bottom of it."
What he was implying was that this matter had nothing to do with an outsider.
He was also insinuating that Camden was meddling in her affairs.
Andrew was not afraid to offend Camden.
Florence smiled and said, "Got it, godfather. I will figure out who is spreading rumors and slanders. But today, everyone is here at the banquet for the sake of the Cooper family, so I won't let someone irrelevant make everyone unhappy."
As long as she could let everyone know the true color of Colleen and Allison, her goal would be achieved.
Florence glanced at the little boy. Apparently, this was not Thiago's son. Now Thiago was arrested, it would be a problem that whether the child should leave or stay.
Looking at the little boy, Florence felt soft when thinking of the kid she had never met.
Florence asked the servant to take the little boy down to eat something, comfort him, and also let him change his clothes. The ball was about to begin.
Florence took a rest in the lounge and changed her clothes, but she was pulled onto a broad chest at the corner.
