Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Chapter 235 - 235: 235: Playing Dumb Over and Over Again Is Quite Satisfying

Rose Campbell quickly nodded in agreement.

Coldness filled Xaviera Evans’ eyes.

All these years, whenever Rose’s schemes were exposed, Derek Evans would always be biased towards her, even asking Xaviera to smooth things over.

Does he even deserve to be called a father?

At this point, Yigol Mamet started to speak slowly.

“The surveillance camera does not lie. Since everyone has their own story, let’s check the surveillance footage to see if it was indeed Rose Campbell who gave the room kev to Mr. Duke.”

A tremor ran through the core of Derek Evans who hastily replied, “Forget about it, I don’t want to pursue this matter any further. By making a fuss over this, it’s the Evans family that will lose face. Besides, Rose wouldn’t have done such a thing, isn’t that right, Xaviera?”

The unreliable friends of Rose backed her up, “Exactly, Rose would never do such a thing, these are just lies concocted by Xaviera to frame her!”

Xaviera raised an eyebrow, a bunch of bootlickers now joined the fray?

She clapped her hands and a staff member walked in and turned on the computer in the room.

“Miss Evans, we’re ready,” he said.

A sense of dread overcame Derek just as he was about to explain himself, but at that moment, Xaviera began to speak slowly.

“Everyone thinks I am at fault, even my father believes so. I must prove my innocence lest you wrong an innocent person! Let’s start!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the staff member played a surveillance video.

Rose clutched her fists tightly in anxiety, her heart pounding. She rushed to stop it: “Stop! I command you to stop! Who gave you permission to play this!” Several bodyguards quickly restrained her, ignoring her screams.

Soon, the video showing Rose while she was on a phone call, bearing a flattering smile, was played.

“Mr. Duke, she’s waiting in the room for you. She will take good care of you. I will bring the key soon,” she said.

“My eldest daughter has no redeeming qualities except for her good looks and her ability to serve others…”

“I will hand Xaviera over to you, Mr. Duke. We’ll rely on you for the Evans family business from now on. Please take good care of our Mag!” Rose’s face looked sinister, filled with malicious greed.

Sacrificing Xaviera to pave the way for Mag, her true nature was utterly disgusting.

The room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Rose no longer struggled, her eyes hollow, she fell to the ground on weak knees.

How did Xaviera get hold of the surveillance footage?

How could the surveillance from Fragrant House be shown to outsiders?

Rose forced herself to calm down; until the very last moment, she would not confess.

She pinched her thigh, squeezing out a few tears, and spoke dolorously, “Xaviera, to frame me, you even dared to fabricate the facts! I did make a phone call, but those were not my words — a voiceover must have been added by someone you hired!”

Xaviera, I’ve been putting up with you for so many years. Why won’t you let me go? In what ways did I wrong you?”

With her hand on her chest, Rose showed deep sorrow and despair before falling to the ground limp.

She adamantly insisted that Xaviera made up the facts, her grief leading to her fainting. No matter how Xaviera would explain herself, it was all in vain.

Mag Evans rushed over in worry, “Mom! Mom! Wake up! Sister, you know that mom is in poor health, yet you insist on framing her. Are you trying to drive her to her death?”

Xaviera grinned at the absurdity of it. Rose’s fainting act was indeed fail-safe!

“Oh! She passed out and you scream at me instead of calling an ambulance?” A staff member instantly took out his phone and dialed for help.

Derek Evans’ face turned stormy, and he yelled, “Xaviera! Have you no end?” Xaviera looked at him without saying a word.

Derek Evans shouted in anger, “You fabricated that surveillance video to frame Rose, she’s fainted now. What more do you want? Even if you’ve been framed, you can’t treat your stepmother like this. This is unfilial!”

Regardless of the people present, he loudly berated, “You’ve completely disgraced the Evans family! Leave immediately!”
