I didn't have time to care; I just opened her phone immediately. The social media profile was empty, with no hidden posts or drafts. A hint of hesitation rose in my heart. But when I opened the photo album and saw it was completely empty, even the recently deleted photos were gone. I knew she had already done it.
Meeting her aggrieved eyes, I chuckled softly and tossed the phone to the ground. I asked her, "What does this has to prove? Phones can lie too; who knows if you've already deleted them? I only believe what I see and my first instinct!"
Her face was deathly pale, her eyes lowered, "I'm sorry, Kate, I shouldn't have washed my clothes with theirs. I didn't understand my status as an outsider. But there's nothing between us. If you think it's inappropriate for me to be here with my child, if you don't want to see me, I can leave. I promise I won't bother you after tomorrow… Please, don't insult me like this. I beg you!"
Milena immediately sat down on the floor, hugging Rebecca and Toby, crying together, "What a tragedy! If you leave, I'll leave too! If you're so arrogant now, who knows how you'll live after marrying into this family. I might as well leave too, to avoid being disliked!"
Mike’s father’s face was ashen, clutching his chest, gasping for breath, "This is the kind of good woman you found to marry, Mike? The whole family is so clueless. Causing this scene the day before the wedding, where do you think we'll put our faces? We've checked her phone, what is she trying to do?"
Mike looked exhausted, "Uncle and Aunt, it's one thing for her to be ignorant and act recklessly, but why are you two joining in?"
Dad's expression was serious, "Whether it's recklessness or not, just do as my daughter says. If it really is, I will teach her a lesson and give you a satisfactory explanation. But my daughter has always been sensible and knows her limits. She wouldn't have done this if the situation wasn't serious, especially since the video included your family's house location."
"The bracelet on the child's wrist was a gift from my daughter to Toby at her engagement. He's three years old this year and Rebecca is exactly twenty-seven. She's a child your family sponsors. If you have nothing to hide, then openly get a DNA test."
