One Million to Disappear

I pretended not to notice. Only an idiot would turn that down.Valerie walked over to me. "Give me your PayPal account."I had no idea what she was planning, but I obediently gave her the account number anyway. A few moments later, my phone chimed with a pleasant notification sound.[PayPal transfer received: 5,000,000 dollars.]I froze in shock.How much?Five million was an astronomical figure to someone like me.Valerie looked at me calmly. "If it's not enough, tell me and I'll send more."I swallowed hard. "Isn't five million a little too much?"One of the servants nearby could not hold back a laugh. Who in the world complained about getting too much money?Maybe I just was not used to receiving this kind of amount. If it happened a few more times, I would probably get used to it.Besides, Grandma was still lying in the hospital waiting for surgery money. There was no way I could refuse.Tristan shot me a vicious glare before turning to Valerie."Valerie, we still have

He pulled out a stack of photos stamped with timestamps. "These are all evidence. At the time, Felix was partying at a bar with a bunch of women. There's no way he could've been at the hotel."In the photos, several middle-aged women had their arms wrapped around me one after another, kissing me intimately.Tristan continued, "And Felix has always been filthy to begin with. Ever since high school, he's been fooling around with different female classmates. His private life is a complete mess. Plenty of women have even gotten abortions because of him. A man like that doesn't deserve you!"The moment those words fell, the entire venue erupted.Valerie's face darkened instantly as she looked up at me.The guests immediately began whispering among themselves."He looks honest enough, but who knew he played this dirty behind the scenes?""A guy like this is trash. Forget Ms. Cooper, I wouldn't even let my daughter marry him.""Exactly. Men like him only know how to latch onto wealthy

She walked over to me, her clear eyes fixed on the marks on my face. Reaching out gently, she brushed her fingers against them."Does it hurt?"I froze for a moment.Tristan immediately snapped, "Valerie, can't you see I'm hurt too? Why are you only worried about him?"Valerie glanced at him coolly. "If you hadn't started it first, why would he hit you?"Tristan was left speechless.So she had seen everything just now?Valerie took my hand. "Come with me. I'll put some medicine on it."She led me downstairs while Tristan's furious thoughts echoed behind us.'Felix, just you wait. I'm never letting this go.'Looks like Tristan had no intention of backing down. But over the next few days, he made no moves at all, so I could only stay alert and wait.That evening, the dinner table was unusually quiet.Madam Cooper was the first to speak. "If you want to know whether the person that night was really Felix, it's actually very simple."Valerie looked up. "Mom, what do you mean?"

Tristan's expression changed instantly. Panic flashed across his face as he hurriedly tried to explain himself."Valerie, what you heard isn't true. Felix is trying to frame me!"Auntie, you've watched me grow up since I was little. I can't even bear to step on an ant. There's no way I'd kill someone!"I calmly took out my phone and played the recording. Every word he had just said was captured clearly.The color drained from Tristan's face. He lunged at me like a madman, trying to snatch my phone away."Felix, you actually set me up!"I jumped in shock, but before he could even touch me, Valerie stepped in front of him."Tristan!" she snapped coldly. "Even now, you still refuse to repent?""I never imagined you were this vicious!"Tristan burst into tears and grabbed her hand desperately."It's not like that. I only did it because I love you too much. I didn't mean it."Do you know how long I've liked you? I've always wanted to marry you."Valerie shook him off without hes
