Chapter 126 Scapegoat, Once Again

Author: J.J. Twelve
The one thing he feared most was the drakeblood gemstone being exposed as a fake. The Norwood family owed everything they had now to the counterfeit he created back then, passing it off as the real one. The genuine gemstone had already been shipped overseas and auctioned off years ago.

Why had the Norwoods risen so explosively in just three years? Because the astronomical profit from that auction had funded their entire expansion.

If the truth came out—that the drakeblood gemstone was a fake—n

    The Norwood family was truly skilled at twisting the truth.As long as they denied everything and claimed Evan's evidence was fake, they still had a slim chance.Evan let out a cold laugh. "Your shamelessness exceeds even my expectations. The proof is right in front of you, and you're still arguing." His voice suddenly rose. "But what if I have witnesses too?"The Norwood family, already tense, took a deep breath together.Despite the compelling evidence, it was ineffective—it couldn't speak. Witnesses remained alive, but no one was willing to testify on Evan's behalf. No witnesses existed because the only individuals who knew their plan had already been sent overseas.All of a sudden, engines roared outside the estate as more vehicles pulled in.Everyone reacted instinctively, and in the blink of an eye, their faces lost all color.Police vehicles lined the entrance. Behind them were several government cars bearing City Hall plates.Doors opened in unison. Out stepped official

    The moment his face froze on the screen, whatever hope Darius had left shattered.His mind screamed in disbelief. He had never imagined the auction venue itself had been recorded—never considered that his face might have been captured. That level of exposure had been beyond his calculations.James doubled over, coughing violently. If Josephine hadn't grabbed him, he would have collapsed outright.The triplets were staring ahead, their eyes empty and soulless.The Norwoods were unraveling.They did not expect the auction house footage at all, much less coming from Evan. They had no idea it even existed. The sisters only asked Darius to wipe the auction and transaction records. The thought that the auction itself was caught on video never crossed their minds.And now, their family's destruction beckoned. James nearly coughed up blood. They could claim that the transaction and auction records were doctored, but this video was a whole other story. That was the nail in the coffin fo

    A terrifying aura swirled around Gabriel. "See for yourself." His voice was truly demonic.The laptop's contents hit the Norwoods like thunder. Reporters gasped—then surged closer, snapping photos in a frenzy."My God…" Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya stared, breathless. This was the evidence, and it was complete. It showed the Norwoods' transaction records over the last three years and proof of the auction. This was concrete evidence. Darius was the one who stole and auctioned off the gemstone. And he even made a fake to switch it out. James, Josephine, and the other family members turned on him in disbelief, faces twisting as the truth finally took shape. They stared at Darius in disbelief.Alice was close to a meltdown. For the first time, she got mad at her precious brother. "I told you to wipe it all out! What were you doing?"She'd asked Darius many times, and he told her, with confidence, that all evidence was wiped. However, what she saw proved that Darius lied to her.Dari

    The Iron Dragon was watching the livestream from the sanatorium."Oh, it's really him!""Evan…"The Iron Dragon wasn't the only one in the room. Sylvie, Ivana, Aria, and Victor were around. They too gasped in surprise."So that's why he didn't need our help. He had it planned!"Ivana smiled. She'd seen this coming. "Told you he knew what he was doing, Dad."Aria and Victor sighed. "He sees right through the veil, more than we do. Evidence is always a more solid plan than fighting Cain."Any single person in this room could take Cain out easily, but the gemstone case wasn't a battle of status or power. It was a battle of presenting the truth to the public. If someone could do whatever they wanted just because of their status, order would crumble."Evan…" Sylvie didn’t take her eyes off the screen. Her gaze shone. Whatever mess this was, Evan chose the most responsible way to end it."He’s… incredible. I think I admire him even more now." Estelle also held Evan in high regards,

    James was right. Evan had no proof. Without proof, it wouldn't matter how well Evan told the story.Evan let out a cold snicker. "What made you think I have no proof?"The Norwoods inhaled sharply. A chill crawled up their spines, rattling their hearts. The triplets shot Darius disbelieving looks. The look in their eyes said, 'We told you to wipe it out!'Darius was stunned. He had erased it. There shouldn't have been anything left, let alone anything Evan could produce.Gabriel stared at Evan sharply. "Do you have proof that someone else did the crime?" At first, he didn't trust Evan, even if the whole city's reporters were invited. However, evidence changed that story."Evan has evidence of Darius' crimes?""I…"Naturally, the heiresses didn't believe it either. They too were staring in wide-eyed disbelief. They knew Evan was framed, but nothing could prove he wasn't. And evidence was important to make a case. Now Evan came prepared.Anya was breathing heavily. "If he does

    They couldn't believe Darius did it, not when all the evidence pointed to Evan as the culprit. The cameras couldn't stop flashing, taking photos of the Norwoods. The family looked like they wanted to scream.Darius stood rigid, like he'd been struck by lightning. He hadn't expected this—certainly not Evan dragging reporters here and naming him in public.Gabriel's gaze turned lethal. The Norwoods visibly wavered. James growled, "That's slander, you little bastard! Darius stole the gemstone? No! The evidence points to you!" He turned to Gabriel. "Don't listen to him, Mr. Gabriel! He's panicking! He's trying to take us down!""My husband's right! He's trying to frame us!" Josephine roared at Evan with disgust, "You shameless thing! We're your parents! How dare you do this to us? After all the years we wasted on you, we should've known you were nothing but a beast!"Evan couldn't care less about the Norwoods' insults. The moment they twisted the story and made him take the fall, the

    Evan's expression hardened. "It's an extremely vicious form of black magic—an evil art that severs a person's fate. Think of it as Death sending you a death notice. When Death decides that you die at midnight, you die at midnight. One way or another… you will die."A sharp chill swept through the r

    This wasn't a hint at all—she was practically spelling it out for him.However, Evan pretended not to notice. He had never agreed to the so-called favor Aria kept talking about; that was something she had brought up on her own.Aria, on the other hand, was starting to panic. 'I'm practically wavin

    In a secluded villa on the outskirts of Silverton, a man in a tailored suit stood alone, his presence cold, heavy, and oppressive."We found him. It was someone named Evan Norwood who saved the Iron Dragon," his subordinate reported from behind him."Good. You may go."The instant the subordinate

    As Graham offered the drakeblood root, he subtly angled his body toward the doorway, clearly hoping to be invited inside."I'll accept the gift, but you won't be coming inside." Ivana took the drakeblood root without hesitation."But Ms. Stanton…" Graham froze when she accepted the treasure yet st
