Audrey almost rolled her eyes.

[But… he’s a jerk.]

Eric, with his keen observation, didn’t miss the changed line of texts above Audrey’s head.

He couldn’t help but laugh. Instantly, everyone in the living room looked over.

Eric smiled at Audrey, who appeared perplexed.

[What’s happening? Why is Second Brother laughing? Could it be that he also thinks Jerry is no good?]

Eric was taken aback. Audrey had guessed correctly.

Abner, too, noticed the change above Audrey’s head.

“You claim Audrey framed Jerry. Where is your evidence? Show me the evidence!” Abner raised his voice.

Caroline immediately panicked. “Evidence? What evidence do you need? Audrey has never gotten over the previous incident. She’s impulsive and doesn’t respect others! While Jerry has learned his lesson from that ordeal, Audrey remains unsatisfied. She intends to tarnish his reputation. Abner, are you willing to tolerate such a malicious woman within the Lance Family?” At this moment, Caroline had involved the entire Lance Family, and Gary knew he couldn’t afford to be vague in handling this situation anymore.

Before Gary could say anything, Audrey swiftly defended herself. “The one who hasn’t let go is Jerry! I’ve never provoked him intentionally. He’s the one who

repeatedly harassed me.”

Anthea chimed in, “Audrey is definitely not the person you’re describing. You’re clearly defaming her.”

“Defamation? Haha, you’ve been tending to your flowers and vegetables all day. How would you know what’s happening outside? Let me tell you, you’re just.. ‘

“Caroline!” Suddenly, Gary shouted.

Caroline fell silent immediately.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense.

On one side stood his ex-wife, and on the other, his current wife. Everyone present understood which side Gary would choose.

Gary glared at Caroline with displeasure. “This is the Lance Family. As a member of the Rick Family, how dare you come here and create such a scene?” Caroline opened her mouth but said nothing.

At this moment, Eric spoke up, “Madam Caroline, you’ve repeatedly alleged that Audrey framed Jerry, yet you haven’t presented any evidence. May I inquire about your intentions here today?”

Audrey’s lips curled up.

[Second Brother is awesome.]

“Why would I slander her for no reason at all?” Caroline was quickly enraged. “Gary, you’re well aware of Audrey’s behavior and attitude over the years. Even if I haven’t witnessed it myself, I’ve heard countless rumors about her. A prideful stepdaughter who neglects her responsibilities daily and treats people from other families with arrogance. What good can a person like her do? It’s clear she can’t stand Jerry’s success and is out to destroy his reputation. How can such a vengeful woman…

“Enough,” Abner interjected, his tone icy.

Caroline immediately paused.

Abner fixed his cold gaze on his mother. “Are you certain you want me to reveal the truth?”

The truth? What truth? Everyone was stunned.

Caroline’s heart ached for her youngest son, and she harbored unwavering faith in Jerry’s claims. When Jerry accused Audrey of conspiring with Linda to frame him, Caroline unquestioningly believed him.

However, what Jerry hadn’t disclosed to her was that the supposed conspiracy had initially targeted Audrey.

Of course, to cast himself as a victim, Jerry would never reveal the truth to Caroline. All he wanted now was to be released from detention as soon as possible so he could exact revenge on Audrey, that ignorant b*tch. Oh, and there was that fool, Linda.

From the moment he entered the living room until now, Abner had been attempting to save face for Caroline. He had intended to dismiss her with a few words, as she was still his mother, after all.

But Caroline was going too far.

Abner no longer wished to conceal anything and spoke candidly, “Jerry himself Imows better than anyone here as to why he was detained. Jerry had initially targeted Audrey, but due to a strange turn of events, Linda ended up in the hotel room instead. Audrey escaped because she was lucky. As for you, my mother, you’ve always shielded Jerry, but you’re unaware of his true nature. He’s despicable. To satisfy his twisted desire for revenge, he didn’t hesitate to tarnish a young girl’s reputation. Are you protecting him or the perfect education and upbringing you believed you have given him?” The living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Caroline stared blankly at Abner..
