Jade's mother immediately screamed,
"You are lying! You are saying this because you are jealous of my son!"
Ivy let out a short, incredulous laugh, as if she had just heard an absurd joke.
"You truly will never understand."
Jade's mother, feeling cornered, opened her mouth to argue again, but Silas stepped forward.
Without a word, he produced several documents and handed copies to those closest to him.
People leaned in to read.
Gasps followed.
The papers clearly recorded that Jade had attempted to harm Ivy by staging an incident that injured himself as part of the plan.
The evidence bore official certification, along with Jade's own signature confirming his actions.
Silas then played an audio recording.
Jade's voice echoed unmistakably through the speaker.
He had never realized Silas had been cautious enough to record everything.
Jade's mother trembled.
At first glance, it looked like fear.
