Chapter 273: Truth or lie
Megan’s knees buckled as the world seemed to tilt under her feet. ’No... this can’t be happening.’
Panic surged through her veins, making it hard to breathe. Her trembling fingers dug into Oliver’s sleeve.
"Please... Dad," she choked out. "You have to believe me. I didn’t do any of that. Someone is misleading Nathan. He has been manipulated—"
"Still denying it?" Nathan’s voice thundered, his patience long gone. His glare could burn holes through steel. "Even now? After all this?" He stepped forward, pointing an accusing finger at her. "You didn’t just sabotage Anne’s place in this house; you tried to kill her."
"K-Kill Anne?" Oliver’s voice wavered, disbelief etched into every word. "That’s... That can’t be true."
But Megan had already begun to shake her head violently. "No! No, I didn’t. He is making things up—"
"I have proof," Nathan cut in coldly. He turned toward the door and called out sharply, "Bring him in."
The door opened, and a man in a black suit entered, dragging another man along with him. The second man was disheveled, his face pale, sweat clinging to his temples. He was pushed down to the floor in front of them.
Megan’s breath caught. Her stomach sank when she recognized him.
Nathan grabbed the man by the collar, dragging his face up to meet his eyes. "Tell the truth. You know what happens if you don’t."
The man’s eyes darted toward Megan, who subtly shook her head, silently pleading for his silence. But when he looked back at Nathan, he flinched and made his choice.
