The woman stood on the stage, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes. She took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and removed the mask from her face.

When the media in the audience saw the woman's face, they gasped in shock. The woman's face was covered in burns, with not a single unblemished piece of flesh, making her look quite terrifying at first glance.

"Miss Jiang, do you remember me?" The woman looked at Jiang Yueyao below the stage with hatred on her face, her voice hoarse and rough: "I am Fang Fang, a maid who used to work in the Jiang family."

Jiang Yueyao's body stiffened slightly, her heart turned cold, and an indescribable fear gradually spread through her.

Fang Fang spoke slowly and deliberately: "Back then, when Miss Jiang fell from the building, she falsely accused Miss Bai Wenying of pushing her, and... Miss Jiang's jewelry was lost at the banquet, including the bullying she suffered at school by Miss Bai Wenying. All of these incidents were orchestrated by Miss Jiang herself."

“I can testify to this because…” Fang Fang swallowed, moistening her dry throat: “Back then, I was also a participant in these events.”

“When Miss Jiang was doing these things, she bribed me with a high price. I was the one who put the jewelry she lost into Miss Bai Wenying’s room.”

"At the same time..." Fang Fang's hands trembled as she touched her uneven cheeks, gritting her teeth as she spoke each word clearly, "I also want to sue Miss Jiang for intentional homicide!"

As soon as Fang Fang finished speaking, the media present erupted in uproar, all their cameras focused on Jiang Yueyao, and flashes went off one after another.

The rest of the Jiang family members also looked at Jiang Yueyao with shock and disbelief on their faces.

"Intentional...murder?!" Jiang Juncheng's face was filled with astonishment as he struggled to speak, "Yaoyao, you...did you really do such a thing?"

"It wasn't me, brother! You've watched me grow up, how could I do such a thing? She's lying! She's just a witness the Feng family found to fabricate evidence!"

Jiang Yueyao tried her best to remain calm, but tears slowly welled up in her eyes as she spoke with immense grievance, "Big brother, you have to believe me! How old was I back then? I was just a little girl, how could I dare to kill someone!"

Before Jiang Juncheng could speak, Fang Fang's hoarse voice rang out again: "Of course Miss Jiang wouldn't dare to kill someone herself. You just 'accidentally' set a fire in the servants' kitchen in the middle of the night and locked the door from the inside!"

If she hadn't been lucky enough to encounter Bai Wenying when she got up to use the toilet at night and risked her life to rescue her, she would have been burned alive!

It was around that time that Fang Fang realized Jiang Yueyao's murderous intent towards her. She begged Bai Wenying to help her change her identity and fake her death, living in anonymity until she was found by the Feng family.

When Fang Fang mentioned the fire, Ge Peiyao remembered it. The small building where the servants lived did indeed catch fire, killing one of the servants. She had assumed it was caused by the cook not turning off the natural gas properly and had tried to cover it up with money. She never expected…

Was this fire actually started by Jiang Yueyao?

Ge Peiyao swayed, looking at Jiang Yueyao with a face full of heartache and shock, as if she were seeing her for the first time.

Jiang Yueyao was stung by her gaze, and her efforts to calm down crumbled. Tears streamed down her face as she desperately shook her head, crying, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! She's lying! Mom and Dad, you have to believe me!"

"If we don't have enough witnesses, we have other evidence." Feng Congqian's cold voice fell on Jiang Yueyao's ears like a death warrant.

She stiffened her neck and slowly turned her head. In one glance, she saw the surveillance footage of the Jiang family villa that Feng Xingchi had obtained through special means, which she had paid a high price to have deleted five years ago.

The surveillance video was somewhat blurry, but it captured her ugly face clearly.

At the same time, the Jiang family also witnessed how arrogant Jiang Yueyao was in front of Bai Wenying when they were not around.

A crisp, malicious girl's voice echoed throughout the press conference hall: "So what if you are the real daughter of the Jiang family? Your parents don't love you, your brothers don't love you, you're just a dog in the Jiang family, no, you're not even as good as a dog in the Jiang family."

"Bai Wenying, why did you come back? Wouldn't it have been better to stay a country bumpkin? Why did you come back to the Jiang family to compete with me?"

"Do you think you're the real daughter of the Jiang family and feel very proud of yourself? Then let's see who Mom and Dad and my brother will choose between you and me."

After saying this, the girl in the surveillance video had a malicious smile on her face. Standing at the top of the stairs, she leaned back and fell down.

Standing in front of her, the girl with her back to the monitor instinctively reached out to grab her, but was slapped away violently. Immediately afterwards, Ge Peiyao's screams and cries for help could be heard from inside...

Ge Peiyao stared blankly at the surveillance footage playing on the big screen, her whole body trembling.

Jiang Yueyao's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and two words echoed in her mind—it's over!

She never expected that Nan Yuanman, that little bitch, would be so well-prepared! She had witnesses, physical evidence, and surveillance footage all at her disposal! This made her explanation seem so weak and unconvincing.

Jiang Tianzong reacted the fastest. His face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He stood up and slapped her hard across the face, his voice filled with heartache as he growled, "Jiang Yueyao! How could you do such a thing to your sister!"

He used all his strength, and Jiang Yueyao, who was caught off guard, was slapped so hard that she fell off the chair, her cheek swollen up on one side.

Jiang Yueyao sat on the ground, covering her face and looking at Jiang Tianzong in disbelief: "You..."

Jiang Tianzong, his face filled with grief and anger, pointed at her: "Jiang Yueyao! Ask yourself honestly, what has our Jiang family ever done to wrong you! We provided you with food and drink, raised you to adulthood! And this is how you bully my own daughter behind my back?!"

"Jiang Yueyao! You're a heartless ingrate! From today onwards, the Jiang family no longer has a daughter like you! Take your bastard child and get out of the Jiang family!"

"Our Jiang family is severing all ties with you!"

Jiang Xinxin had never seen Jiang Tianzong angry before, and she trembled with fear before bursting into tears.

Ge Peiyao and the men from the Jiang family, who were still in shock, also came to their senses. She looked at Jiang Yueyao, who was sitting on the ground looking extremely disheveled, and her lips moved, but she did not go forward or say anything to comfort Jiang Xinxin.

The men of the Jiang family sat silently in their seats, their faces filled with complex emotions.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yueyao quickly realized that the Jiang family was going to abandon her and her daughter!

How is that possible!

It's not like she's the only one who's been mean to Bai Wenying! Why should she be the only one who gets hurt? Besides, her daughter is innocent too!

Rage and panic consumed Jiang Yueyao, rendering her completely irrational. She glared fiercely at Jiang Tianzong, then burst into a strange laugh: "Hahahaha! Bastard? Sever ties?"

"Xinxin is not a bastard, she is your daughter! She also has the right to inherit the Jiang family's property! Jiang Tianzong, don't even think about getting rid of us, mother and daughter!"
