was deep in thought after learning all this new information.

“Who sent the video to Julianne?” I asked. “What was their purpose?”

I refused to believe Julianne wasn’t the

behind it.

“The man who sent the video died in a accident last year,” Mark replied. “Because of that, we have no way to verify if he had edited the surveillance video himself. We also can’t determine his purpose behind sending the video to her.”

This lead turned out to be a lead end.

I fell silent again.

A short while later, I asked, “What about the other evidence? Like the one where Mr. Sawyer had drugged Julianne? Is it authentic?”

“It is. We’ve verified its authenticity,” Mark responded.

I didn’t know what to say.

Mark was the best lawyer around–sharp and meticulous. If he had verified the evidence, there was no doubting its legitimacy.

Had I really misunderstood Julianne? Was she truly not the culprit?

All this time, I thought that she had intentionally conspired with Dad to have me appear on the surveillance video while she climbed into Phillip’s bed.

I also thought she had intentionally kept the video as her trump card; she wanted to use it to make Irvin misjudge me and make my life miserable.

Was this whole thing genuinely just one big misunderstanding?

Another thought popped into my head as I was pondering this.

“If all of this really is a misunderstanding, then what about the drug I mixed into the juice? Where did it come from? I wasn’t in my right mind then. Did I buy it myself?” I inquired.

When my legal team looked into the incident, they couldn’t determine what drug I had mixed into the juice. But they knew I had bumped into Irvin after drinking it.

From there, they uncovered he had brought me to see a doctor while I was still dazed.

As the visit happened quite long ago, the clinic no longer had a medical record of it. None of the staff remembered what state I had been in back then.

That being said, there was evidence that confirmed I had drugged the juice. Therefore, the drug had to come from somewhere.

“That part is strange. However, it isn’t sufficient to be used as evidence that Julianne had falsely accused and framed you.” Mark

clarified.

I fell silent yet again.

If that wasn’t enough, then Julianne would be acquitted.

I just couldn’t accept that everything that had happened all those years ago was just a coincidence. How co misunderstanding? Especially when there was a mystery drug involved.

I just couldn’t believe it.

Plus, I was up against Julianne, so I was even more sure of it.

I knew for certain that the incident back then wasn’t just a simple tuisunderstanding!

I stood outside the police station as Julianne was released. Unlike me, she didn’t try to keep a low profile

I had slipped out through the back door to avoid the potential crowd and chaos. She, on the other hand, walked boldly out the front door.

Surprisingly, the first thing she did wasn’t to proclaim her innocence. Instead, she publicly apologized to me.

She was sorry for not asking me about the video when she first received it, for immediately assuming that I meant her harm.

Her false assumption had led to this whole flasco, for which she was also sorry.

All in all, she felt extremely apologetic to me.

Julianne had been born with a pure and naïve appearance. She also had a knack for feigning innocence and playing the victim- appearing helpless and pitiful when it suited her.

All of these combined enabled her to paint a convincing picture of how remorseful she was. So naturally, people believed her and sympathized with her.

And just like that, the public opinion changed overnight.

Everyone online started saying she was ultimately the victim, regardless of what had transpired.

Julianne was only 19 years old when the drugging incident happened. Furthermore, she had been assaulted by an older man at such a budding age.

It was only natural for her to develop some kind of psychological issues.

Later on, she had suddenly found out that someone wanted to harm her. And that person was none other than her adoptive sister. So, of course, she had wanted revenge.

Her actions certainly weren’t right. However, they were understandable.

Additionally, there had been so many twists and turns in the investigation. Our roles also kept being reversed.

Because of this, people were more cautious. They worried there would be yet another plot twist ahead if they jumped to conclusions.

As such, they were reserved in their discussion of this topic this time around.

Julianne truly knew how to play the game.

She had publicly apologized to me the moment she was released. Not only that, she had done so in person with reporters present.

The words that came out of her mouth sounded like an apology. Yet, she had a challenging look in her eyes as she said them.

It was obvious she was trying to provoke me.

“Yes, I truly had schemed and plotted everything back then. I had also intentionally made Irvin think you were behind the drugging incident. Yet, look at me now. I still got away with all of it!” Her gaze seemed to convey.
