Chapter 175: Tania exposed (Part 1)
Jeanne quickly came to Tania’s defense. "She is right. Why would anyone fake a pregnancy? It doesn’t make sense. Tania is the victim here. That man already admitted that Anne paid him. Isn’t that proof enough? And now, conveniently, Anne shows a video. It’s suspicious."
The crowd looked at each other, caught in a storm of confusion.
Anne, trembling with anger and disbelief, stood her ground. "I’m not faking anything," she cried. "That video is real. She has been lying from the start, and now the truth is coming out."
"Calm down," Augustine said, placing a steadying hand on Anne’s shoulder. His eyes swept over the gathering crowd, his tone turning sharp. "Since all of you seem eager to accuse my wife tonight, don’t blame me for dragging the truth out in front of everyone. I planned to handle this discreetly—but you’ve left me no choice."
In truth, Augustine had been waiting for this very moment to lay bare every lie, to crush Tania’s deceit, and to publicly disgrace the Beaumont family.
He pointed straight at Tania. "Take a look at her. If she truly had a miscarriage just moments ago, how is she standing upright without any sign of distress?"
All eyes fell on Tania, studying her skeptically.
"Weren’t we all watching her cry out in agony on the floor not long ago?" Augustine pressed.
Tania’s complexion turned further pale. Her body stiffened under the weight of suspicion, then, in a clumsy bid to regain sympathy, she clutched her stomach again and grimaced as though pain had returned.
"I am in pain," she claimed breathlessly. "But I couldn’t just sit back and let Anne ruin my reputation. She is accusing me falsely."
"False accusation?" Augustine echoed with a cold laugh. "You’ve got some nerve."
