Bella was breathing fast, her chest rising and falling unevenly as she stood beside Jack, clinging to the sleeve of his suit like it was the only thing keeping her upright.

Her face had lost all colour, her lips trembling as her eyes darted between Julia and William.

The hall, once filled with laughter and music, now felt suffocating, heavy with judgment and fear.

“Do you think that’s the only phone I have?” Julia asked calmly, her voice slicing through the tension like a blade.

She reached into her bag again and brought out another phone, holding it up for everyone to see. “Are you going to smash this one too, just to shut everyone up?”

A collective gasp rippled through the guests. Murmurs followed immediately, low and uneasy, as heads turned toward Bella and Jack. Bella’s fingers tightened around Jack’s arm, her knuckles whitening.

Megan stepped forward quickly, her expression carefully arranged into concern, her tone soft and measured, the same tone she always used when she want

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 67: "No. Don't Call The Police."

    "So I rounded up everyone who ever hurt you and forced the truth out of them."William's voice cut through the lingering tension in the hall like a blade through silk, calm, and deliberate. There was no theatricality in his delivery, no dramatic pause for effect. He spoke as though he were discussing something as mundane as the weather, yet the weight of his words landed like stones in still water.Julia stared at him, her breath catching somewhere between her lungs and her throat. The man standing before her with unwavering eyes, the one person in this entire room who had never once doubted her, who had never asked her to prove her innocence.Her throat tightened painfully, emotions swelling inside her chest like a tide she could no longer hold back. When she finally managed to speak, her voice emerged softer than she intended, almost fragile. "You've done so much for me."William stepped closer, closing the distance between them with quiet confidence. His presence alone seemed t

    Quietly, William dipped a hand into the inner pocket of his tailored coat and brought out a phone. The hall, which had been boiling with noise only moments ago, slowly sank into an uneasy silence, as if everyone sensed that whatever was coming next would not be light.“In addition to the accident video,” William said calmly, his voice steady but edged with something dark, “I also discovered the truth about the abuse Julia suffered in prison.”Julia’s head snapped up instantly. Until that moment, she had been holding herself together through sheer will, her spine straight, her chin lifted in defiance. But at those words, something flickered in her eyes. Shock. Pain. And a fear she thought she had buried deep enough never to resurface again.Bella, on the other hand, began to gasp audibly. Her breathing turned erratic, shallow, as though the air in the hall had suddenly thinned. She staggered half a step backward, clutching Jack’s arm unconsciously, her fingers digging into his sleev

    Jack shifted angrily, the muscles in his jaw tightening as his gaze locked onto Julia with unmistakable hostility. "Julia, you just have to drag Bella into this, don't you?" he asked, his voice loud enough to cut through the restless murmurs filling the grand hall. His tone carried layers of accusation, impatience, and something dangerously close to panic, a desperation that made his words sharper than perhaps he'd intended. Beside him, Bella was already gasping dramatically, her chest rising and falling in rapid succession as though the very air in the room had suddenly thinned to nothing. Her delicate fingers curled tightly into the expensive fabric of Jack's sleeve, gripping it like a lifeline, like an anchor in a storm only she could feel."Have you no shame at all?" Jack continued, his voice rising as he turned his body fully toward Julia now, squaring his shoulders as if preparing for battle. The question hung in the air like an indictment, meant to shame her into silence."

    Julia chuckled, her eyes fixed steadily on the faces before her. There was no fear in them, no hesitation, just a calm sharpness that cut through the tension in the hall. The phone rested lightly in her palm, yet to her audience, it felt heavier than any weapon.“Why not?” she asked softly, lifting the phone a little, as if reminding them of its presence.A murmur rippled through the hall. Guests exchanged uneasy glances, the earlier excitement now fully replaced by dread. Jack shifted where he stood, his jaw tightening as he turned his gaze away from Julia. For the first time since his arrival, he avoided her eyes. His hands slipped deeper into his pockets, his shoulders squaring as though he needed to brace himself.“Because this concerns both our families’ reputations,” Jack said finally, his voice firm but strained. He turned back to face her, forcing steadiness into his tone. “And Bella’s name. This kind of scandal will stain all of us. Including you.”Bella’s breathing quick

    Julia chuckled softly, her hands still folded across her chest, but the sound carried no amusement. It was dry, hollow, edged with disbelief. “So you’re admitting you hit Lisa and destroyed the evidence?” she asked calmly, her eyes fixed on Bella.Bella’s face drained of colour. Her lips trembled, and her whole body shook as though the floor beneath her had suddenly turned unstable. “I—I…” she started, her voice barely above a whisper.Before she could finish, an arm wrapped firmly around her shoulders from behind. Bella gasped and turned, only to see Jack standing there. The moment her eyes met his, she released a shaky breath, as if she had just been pulled back from the edge of a cliff.“Bella meant to say the dashcam got wrecked,” Jack said coldly, cutting in without hesitation. “So the video you showed is fake.” He slipped his hands into his pockets, his posture relaxed, but his eyes burned with hostility as they locked onto Julia. “Julia, you’re downright vicious. You framed B
