Chapter 282

The more suspicious he got, the more obsessed he became with getting to the bottom of it.

With Lucas looking into the photos, Emily didn’t feel the need to rush to find evidence anymore.

If Lucas were the one to bring out the evidence against Lydia, it would carry a lot more weight than if she brought it up

herself.

All she cared about now was making sure Charles got a proper farewell; she didn’t have the energy for anything else.

‘We understand a lot of people just went along and reposted things online without knowing the real story, so the Bennett Family will only go after the media that started it all by posting those fake photos and making up lies.”
