Everyone at the press conference was filled with outrage, with everyone pointing fingers at Wendy.
Stanley’s cold, sharp gaze locked onto her. He thought she deserved what was coming to her.
Didn’t she know this was a dangerous situation? How could she have come here alone?
“Damn it!” Nathan muttered under his breath, stepping forward to protect Wendy.
But someone moved faster. Stanley was already in front, his presence commanding attention.
Nathan paused, feeling slightly bewildered.
What was going on? Why was Stanley rushing in without thinking?
The room, which was buzzing with chaos seconds ago, suddenly fell silent. Stanley watched as Wendy, the target of the mob, lifted her eyes–clear as a calm lake, yet full of power. She calmly surveyed the crowd, and with a single glance from her, everyone fell silent, as if the very air around her had shifted.
Stanley froze in his tracks. He had never seen Wendy like this before.
The reporters were also taken aback. They didn’t understand where this commanding aura came from, but it was undeniable. Wendy radiated an energy that made them all hesitate, their voices trailing off in shock.
Wendy scanned the room, her gaze landing squarely on George. “Did you think I came here alone?”
George froze, confused. “What do you mean?”
Before he could respond, Cecelia’s voice rang out. “George is over there! That’s him!”
Everyone turned to see a group of uniformed police officers walking in, moving directly toward George. They pulled out an arrest warrant and read it aloud.
“George Ballard, you are under arrest for extortion, kidnapping, attempted rape, and several other charges.” The sharp sound of handcuffs snapping shut echoed in the room as George’s hands were bound.
The room erupted in chaos. The situation flipped instantly, and no one knew what had just happened.
The supposed victim had become the criminal?
Benny was the most stunned. “Officers, are you sure you’ve got the right guy? He’s just a simple country guy. How could he be involved in extortion, kidnapping, and attempted rape? Who did he try to rape?”
“He tried to rape me!” Wendy’s voice rang out, each word heavy with truth.
Wendy’s words echoed loudly in everyone’s ears, shocking the entire room.
Gasps filled the air.
Everyone turned to Wendy in disbelief, especially George, Lilian, and Jessica, who were all stunned.
Cecelia rushed to Wendy’s side, unwilling to leave her alone during this critical moment. friend, she wouldn’t let her face this alone.
Vendy’s closest
Wendy pulled out a photo–one that George had used to blackmail her in the past. She held it up to the crowd, her voice clear, firm, and full of strength.
“Yes, George is my adoptive father, but he’s also a pedophile. Ten years ago, he was convicted of child abuse and

molestation. He was sentenced to ten years.
The room fell deathly silent as everyone stared at the photo the truth sinking in.
Wendy continued, her tone unflinching, “Recently, he was released from prison. He came after me again. First, he used this photo to extort 100 million from me, and then he drugged and kidnapped me at a nightclub. Later, he tried to rape me in a cave.”
Wendy held up a small surveillance device and focused her gaze on George. “I’ve been wearing this device the entire time. It records all the evidence of your crimes.”
George stood frozen in shock. He couldn’t believe it. Wendy had been wearing a surveillance device all along. How dare she!
Wendy slowly moved forward, stepping closer to George. Though she was speaking to him, her piercing eyes found Lilian.
“The moment you were released from prison, I was the first to know. You thought you had trapped me, but in reality, I’ve been waiting for you. Ten years in prison wasn’t enough. This time, I’ll personally send you back. And this time, you won’t be coming out.”
