"It's me ... I called the police," Virginia spoke with difficulty. Addison's lips curved into a smile as she looked at Virginia. "Do you believe me now?" Although Lance had made her angry earlier, she had to admit that she admired his honesty. Watching Virginia's expression shift from certainty to anxiousness filled Addison with satisfaction. Virginia remained silent, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes. "This isn't the first time Virginia has falsely accused me. You've probably already looked into the matter of transferring assets, right?" Virginia turned to Lance. Lance's face tightened, and he pressed his lips together grimly. "Virginia has falsely accused me time and time again—first with transferring assets, and then stealing the Johnstons' diamond ring. Why is she doing all this? Lance, don't tell me you can't see through it," Addison's voice was firm and resolute. She had to warn Lance. If Virginia were allowed to enter the Johnstons, the consequences would be unimaginable. The hatred in Virginia's eyes grew more intense as she turned and clutched Lance's arm, her gaze full of innocence. "Lance, let me explain ... " Lance, clearly annoyed, pried her hand off but still responded instinctively, "Why? "Virginia only loves me too much, and she just wants the title of Mrs. Johnston to feel secure ... " Addison was so infuriated by his words that she almost laughed. She hadn't realized before—Lance was such a lovestruck fool! How could he be so blind? Addison's eyes glinted with a mocking smile as she spoke with disdain, "Lance, are you blind to have fallen in love with a woman like Virginia? "A gold digger like her, who thinks anything expensive belongs to her the moment she sees it—don't you feel embarrassed?" Lance's face instantly turned ashen. "Or is it that you actually like this type of woman? That you'd willingly let her marry into the Johnstons?" Each of Addison's words hit Lance hard, humiliating him more with every sentence.Tyrese and the group of police officers standing nearby had expressions that fluctuated with every word Addison said. Although they didn't dare show their reactions openly, their eyes carried a trace of unspoken surprise. They had come to investigate, but instead, they'd stumbled upon such juicy gossip about the prestigious Johnstons ... Lance, clearly aware of the bystanders' gaze, suppressed his fury as much as his dignity allowed. "Addison, don't go too far with your words." His expression darkened, and it was clear he was struggling to maintain composure. Virginia's motives now laid bare, grew even more anxious. "Lance, don't listen to Addison. I'm not like that, really! I just love you too much and was blinded by jealousy ... " As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, making her appear pitiful and wronged, stirring sympathy from anyone watching. In the past, Lance would've softened at the sight of Virginia's tearful face. But this time, he only felt irritated, even a bit embarrassed. Tyrese and the group of police officers didn't know whether they should leave or continue standing there. If they stayed, they risked offending the Johnstons by eavesdropping on their drama. But leaving now, with such a juicy scandal unfolding, was hard to resist. After weighing his options, Tyrese decided that his life was more important than gossip. Hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Well ... since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we'll be on our way now ... " Addison lifted her gaze and nodded lightly. "You may go." The police officers had already been tormented enough by Virginia's antics and didn't need to witness any more of the farce. Without hesitation, Tyrese signaled for his colleagues, and they quickly began to leave. Just as they were about to exit, Lance's deep voice called out, "Stop." At his command, the burly bodyguards stationed at the entrance moved in unison, blocking their way. Everyone halted in their tracks, too frightened to even breathe. Were they about to be silenced for good? With a stern expression, Lance pressed his thin lips together and shot a look at Tim.Understanding immediately, Tim walked over to the police officers and spoke calmly, "Officers, we kindly ask that you keep this matter confidential. After all, spreading word of this incident wouldn't reflect well on the Johnstons. "On behalf of the Johnsons, I thank you in advance." He bowed slightly, his tone respectful and full of goodwill, making him appear warm and friendly. Before Tyrese could respond, one of his colleagues quickly bent forward in a series of nods. "Rest assured, we won't say a word!" They hadn't really intended to reveal anything in the first place, but with the butler being so polite, it made them even more reluctant to speak. Tim nodded in gratitude and waved his hand at the bodyguards, who immediately stepped aside. Tyrese and his colleagues quickly got into the police car and drove away. Addison withdrew her gaze, a cold sneer forming on her lips as she looked at Lance. "So, you do know how to feel embarrassed? If you really want to protect the Johnsons' reputation, I suggest you first learn how to see through the true nature of the woman standing next to you." Virginia's tear-filled eyes widened. "You—!" Addison met her gaze with a mocking smile, her eyes filled with ridicule. Virginia was so enraged that she instinctively raised her hand to strike Addison, but she hesitated when she remembered Lance was standing behind her. Her hand froze in mid-air before slowly dropping. She turned to the man beside her, who wore a dark expression, and gently reached for his hand. "Lance, don't you believe me? I'm not doing this for money ... " Hearing this, Addison couldn't hold back a laugh, as if she'd just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. She scoffed, "Virginia, you really won't admit defeat until the bitter end, will you?" She reached into her bag and pulled out a divorce agreement. "The divorce papers you handed me last time—you forgot to take them with you when you left. Would you like to have a look?" The sight of the divorce agreement was enough to render Virginia's speechless. As soon as Virginia saw the papers, her expression changed drastically. Her hand slowly released Lance's, and her lips pressed into a tight line. In her moment of rage, she had completely forgotten about the agreement! Lance's gaze darkened. "Let me see it." "Lance, don't look! There's nothing important in it, really," Virginia pleaded, her face showing clear anxiety. Ignoring her, Addison handed the divorce agreement to the nearby bodyguard, who respectfully delivered it to Lance. "Your beloved rewrote your divorce agreement, mimicking the original. Take a good look and see for yourself if Virginia isn't in it for the money," Addison said with biting sarcasm. Desperate to stop him, Virginia grabbed his arm. "Lance, it's really nothing, please don't look ... " But Lance, clearly irritated, brushed her off and took the agreement from the bodyguard. Virginia's face turned pale with despair. Her once lively eyes now clouded with dread, and her previous arrogance gone. As Lance flipped through the document and reached the section on property distribution, his expression grew menacing. He threw the agreement onto the floor, his face filled with impending fury. Seeing this, Virginia panicked, shaking her head furiously. "Lance, it's not what you think, really ... "Addison framed me! She faked that agreement to accuse me!" Her tears fell, splashing onto the ground as her face flushed red. Lance's expression was hard to read. "Are you sure Addison framed you?" Addison tilted her head slightly, her voice drawing out with a mocking tone, "I framed you?" Despite the evidence laid bare, Virginia refused to admit anything. How stubborn! She really excelled at playing the victim and shifting blame. Fine! Addison would make sure there was nothing left for her to say. "Virginia, did you forget there's a security camera at my front door? Want me to pull up the footage?" Addison's eyes gleamed with amusement as she blinked slowly. "Make sure you're prepared next time you lie." That single sentence broke Virgnia's spirit. Her face flushed with alternating shades of blue and white as cold sweat formed on her forehead. Unable to defend herself anymore, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor. Lance opened his mouth, ready to scold her, but in the end, he just lowered his eyes. "Virginia, you've truly disappointed me."
