Chapter 890
Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood didn’t know about the party incident or Yolanda’s repeated invitations. Anastasia was deliberately saying it for their benefit, but Mrs. Lockwood only heard it as a slander against her daughter.
“Ms. Sterling! Yolanda considers Juliet a good friend. Why would she trick her into being assaulted? I know about the Lawson party. Yolanda kindly wanted to show Ms. Brennan around. If you’re not grateful, fine, but how can you defame her like this p>
“That’s enough, Mrs. Lockwood!” Marcus suddenly interjected. “Yolanda did it. They aren’t framing her p>
His words silenced the emotional Mrs. Lockwood. She turned to stare at Marcus in disbelief.
“How is that possible? There must be some mistake She refused to believe it. “Yolanda is a good girl. How could she do something like that p>
Marcus looked exasperated. “I wish she hadn’t done it either! But she admitted it to my face. How could that be a false accusation p>
“You asked why I wanted to break off the engagement, didn’t you? I kept it from you because I didn’t want to upset you, but since an innocent person has been dragged into this, there’s nothing more to hide p>
“You all remember what happened to me, right? At first, I thought it was hereditary, an accident, just bad luck. But who knew, hah p>
His eyes were mocking and cold. “The one who harmed me was my own fiancée p>
Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were both stunned. “Marcus! What are you saying “
“What am I saying? I’m telling you the truth! I’m telling you what kind of person your daughter really is p>

Marcus’s face was expressionless. “I’ve already compiled the evidence of her conspiring with Ward. I didn’t pursue it before out of respect for our families friendship. But since she remains so stubborn and continues to harm innocent people, don’t blame me for showing no mercy p>
“How could this be? How could Yolanda do such a thing p>
Anastasia was also puzzled.
Yolanda was Marcus’s fiancée and seemed to have feelings for him As the heir to the
ir to the Jackson fim As
Marcus’s future was bright. As long as yolanda behaved, why would she worry about her future?
And yet, she conspired with Ward to poison Marcus! What was her motive?
Mr. Lockwood, having calmed down, raised the same point. “This doesn’t make
sense. Yolanda might be innocent. Marcus, don’t misunderstand her p>
Marcus said coldly, “I’ve investigated
thoroughly I’m not wrongly
accusing her! She and Ward were having an affair behind my back for a long time. Ward poisoned me first, crippling my legs. She probably
so
thought I would never record y Um helping
ghe sided with
placing things around me that would worsen my condition p>
That scented sachet was just one of them.
Mrs. Lockwood still couldn’t believe it. How could her kind-hearted daughter do
something so monstrous?
As she swayed on her feet, she happened to turn her head—
“Yolanda? You’re awake p>
