Chapter 243 Surveillance Footage
Mrs Taylor wiped her tears, then she took her phone and called Mrs Moore. When it was connected; she said, “Valery, your daughter has assaulted my granddaughter.
Please come to the Taylor mansion urgently. Should you fail to come; I will press assault charges against Valeria.” She was so angry she didn’t give Mrs Moore time to respond. Then she hung up.
Mrs Moore was so scared of the Taylor family’s wrath against her beloved daughter. Her son-in-law was ruthless. He put the Moore Group on its knees. She asked her husband to accompany her to the Taylor mansion.
On their way to the Taylor residence, she called her daughter, Valeria, several times but the calls went straight to voicemail.
At the Taylor mansion, Avery went to their bedroom and came back with the ointment. She gave it to her husband and said, “Honey, please apply this ointment to her face. It will help with the swelling.”
Xavier took the ointment and thanked his wife. Then she took Sage’s medicine for pain and gave it to her husband.
Xavier was moved, he hugged his wife tightly and said, “I love you so much, my stunning wife. Even death will not separate us.” Avery smiled sweetly at him and nodded her head. She was so touched by her husband’s trust in her.
Xavier looked at her daughter and asked, “Sage, are you in pain?”
Sage looked at her father with tears in her eyes and replied, “I am in so much pain, Daddy. My head is throbbing, and my face is burning. Please give me something for the pain, my dearest father.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Her father looked at her and asked, “Why didn’t you ask your aunt to give you something for pain after she beat you up? I am scared to give you this medicine. What if you accuse my wife of poisoning you?”
Sage looked at her father, but she didn’t utter a word. It was clear to her that her father loved Aunt Avery more than he loved her. How could her father choose an outsider over his biological daughter?
Her father sneered, “I want to teach you a lesson. I am not going to give you any medication. I want you to remember this pain so that you will never lie again.
Also, I want your beloved grandmother to see her precious daughter’s masterpiece.”
Then he looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I am taking my wife to our bedroom to rest. I will come back when the Moore family arrives.” His grandpa nodded his head, and then Xavier and his wife went to their bedroom.
Grandpa sighed and said, “Let’s go to the living room to wait for the Moore family. Young lady, stay here and reflect on yourself. I am so disappointed in you.” Then they left Sage’s room.
Mr Taylor senior looked at them and said, “Sage has inherited lies from the Moore family. What if Valeria had given Sage the sulphuric acid to burn my granddaughter in love’s face?”
At that moment, Butler Blade walked to Mr Taylor senior and said, “Sir, the Moore family has arrived.” Mr Taylor senior asked Butler Blade to call his precious grandson.
The Moore couple walked into the living room with gloomy faces. Mr Moore greeted the Taylor family then he said, “Mrs Taylor, on the phone you indicated that my daughter assaulted your granddaughter. So, where is my daughter?”
Mrs Taylor looked at the Moore couple and replied, “I don’t know where your daughter is. She spent an hour with her niece, then she left.
After your daughter left, I went to Sage’s room. She was fast asleep, and she had a sheet over her head. I didn’t see that she was injured until my daughter-in-law went to Sage’s room to check on her.”
Mrs Moore scoffed, “How do you prove that your granddaughter was assaulted by my daughter and not your daughter-in-law?
I think you are targeting my daughter to settle old scores. My Valeria is so sweet, she can’t hurt a child.”
At that moment, Xavier walked into the living room. He greeted the Moore couple, then he sat beside his grandfather.
He looked at Mrs Moore and said, “Today, your daughter came to the company. She asked me if I was lying when I told you that her sister asked me not to remarry. I told her that her sister told me to marry anyone but her.
Then I asked her to leave the company. Unbeknownst to me, she would come to my daughter and assault her to frame my wife.
I will never forgive your daughter for sowing discord between my daughter and my wife. My wife is my bottom line.
Mrs Moore was fuming with anger and said, “Xavier, please show me proof that my daughter has assaulted your daughter.”
Butler Blade walked into the living room with Sage in his arms and placed her beside Mrs Taylor. Xavier looked at her daughter and said, “Sage, these are your maternal grandparents. Please tell them what happened today.”
Sage looked at her maternal grandparents and said, “Aunt Valeria visited me today. She told me that my maternal family loved me but the Taylor family stopped them from visiting me.
When I reminded her about the conversation between my grandmother and my maternal grandmother, she denied it. She even called her mother to confirm it.
Then she told me that my mother was killed by Aunt Avery, and she slapped me to frame Aunt Avery. She told me to give my father an ultimatum. Unfortunately, my dad didn’t choose me.”
Mrs Moore looked at her granddaughter and asked, “How sure are you that the person who visited you today was Valeria?”
Sage looked at her grandmother and replied, “I am not sure because it was the first time I had seen her.”
Her maternal grandmother shook her head and said, “It could be anyone because you haven’t met Valeria. Also, I haven’t received any calls from Valeria today. I am sure that the woman who assaulted you was not your Aunt Valeria.”
Sage looked at Grandma Caroline with hatred in her eyes and asked, “Is it true that you asked someone to pretend to be Aunt Valeria to sow discord between me and my maternal grandparents?”
Grandma Caroline was dumbfounded. She was deeply hurt by Sage’s accusation. It was clear to her that Sage didn’t trust her.
Before she responded, Mr Taylor senior roared, “Enough. Butler Blade, please play the surveillance footage.” Everyone was shocked when they heard Mr Taylor senior’s words.
