Chapter 12

Author: Mint Soda
Claudia finally panicked when she saw her own twisted features in the video, and she grabbed Justin's sleeve. Her expression couldn't conceal her fear as teardrops fell one after another.

"Justin, I was just too afraid of losing you! Ms. Lambert stayed with you these three years as you made your comeback. How could I possibly feel at ease letting her stay by your side any longer?" she exclaimed.

Despite seeing her cry so pitifully, Justin felt nothing at all.

He even found himself wondering—if Claudia hadn't slandered Alyssa and caused her to be pushed down the stairs, would she have ever returned to the Lamberts?

"Still, you shouldn't have slandered her, and you definitely shouldn't have humiliated her!" Justin's voice rose without him realizing it, and his gaze burned with unhidden anger as he looked at her.

He added, "During the three years you were gone, it was Alyssa who set aside her status as an heiress and endured hardship with me. What right do you have to humiliate her?"

    Justin didn't anticipate that it would take nearly a month to locate the Lamberts' address. After finally confirming the location, he immediately boarded the next available flight to Albion.Along the way, he thought of countless ways to apologize to Alyssa and beg for her forgiveness.But what he really didn't expect was that, after waiting outside the Lambert residence for an entire day, he would witness her being intimate with another man. In that instant, all the explanations he had prepared became lodged in his throat, rendering him speechless.Alyssa raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw Justin standing there. She hadn't expected him to seek her all the way out here."Why are you here?" she asked.Justin looked at the tall man beside her with a bitter gaze. "I… I came to apologize."Alyssa adjusted the coat draped over her shoulders and turned to speak to Walter. "Thank you for the coat, Walter. Please head back first. I'll wash it and return it to you next time."W

    On the other side of the ocean, Alyssa's plane touched down in Albion.As she pushed her luggage cart through the airport, she finally set foot on this familiar land again after three years. She breathed in the air she had missed and longed for.She was born and raised in Albion, but ever since she concealed her identity to stay by Justin's side, she hadn't returned for three years.After exiting the airport, she spotted her parents, waiting to pick her up."Aly!" Marilyn's sharp eyes caught sight of her, and she hurried over before wrapping Alyssa in a hug."Let me have a good look at you. You haven't come home in three years, and you've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot out there."Marilyn's words of concern made Alyssa's nose sting with emotion. No matter how calm and composed she appeared on the outside, with her parents, she would always appear to be a little girl who hadn't fully grown up."Mom, I'm fine. These past three years, I've learned a lot of things. In the

    Justin threw the phone at Claudia. He had practically spat the words out through gritted teeth.The document detailed everything Claudia had done since she went abroad three years ago, up to her recent return.Soon after going abroad, she had gotten together with a wealthy heir. Then, not long after getting dumped by that heir, she found herself a real estate tycoon. In short, she never lacked a boyfriend during these three years.She had even been a mistress for a period.The document wasn't just full of text. It included various intimate photos of her with men, the scale of which was shocking. There was not a single trace that she had "always thought of Justin" as she had claimed.Even the so-called necklace from the Albion royal family presented at Lily's birthday party was—just as Alyssa had said—a counterfeit Claudia had prepared in advance.Claudia's hands trembled as she picked up the phone. When she saw the contents on the screen, her face instantly turned ashen.Justin

    Justin felt his heartbeat quicken. He hesitated for a moment before finally clicking into the video.In the first half of the video, Claudia was seen grappling with Alyssa. Everyone present could clearly hear her haughty, threatening words.Justin's expression shifted. He hadn't expected the woman he'd known to be gentle and understanding to have another side to her behind his back.His friends also widened their eyes in shock. However, the rest of the video was clearly not meant for them to see, so they each made excuses and left the room."Justin, my mom called me home for dinner. I'm heading out first.""Same here. My wife is waiting for me."The room suddenly fell quiet, leaving only Claudia's sharp voice echoing in Justin's ears.Poor… Pathetic… Orphan… Shameless…The malicious words made Justin frown, and for the first time, he felt a flicker of anger toward Claudia. Even if Alyssa really were an orphan, that didn't give Claudia the right to humiliate her so freely.Af

    At that moment, the ringing of his phone pulled him back from his thoughts.Claudia was calling him."Justin, what happened? Did Ms. Lambert… say anything?"Justin detected a trace of hesitation and fear in her voice. If she hadn't done anything wrong to Alyssa, why would she be afraid?Justin's hand tightened around the phone as a vague suspicion formed in his mind. But since he had yet to see the evidence, he was reluctant to believe that the kind and lovely Claudia from his memories could lie and frame someone so viciously."She… didn't say anything."Justin decided to temporarily conceal the fact that Alyssa had asked her assistant to send him the surveillance footage from the hotel.There was an obvious sigh of relief from the person on the other end."So when will you come back to the hospital to keep me company, Justin? I'm so bored here all by myself," Claudia whined.He fell silent for a moment before replying, "Something's come up at the company, so I have to work
