Chapter 8
In the puzzled eyes of the crowd, the big screen started playing a video.
However.
What surprised everyone was.
The video filmed when Liora was promoting nude loans was not playing
on the screen.
It was actually Talia who bullied Liora in ninety–nine videos!
The first video was when Talia was in the eighth grade, on the rooftop, having someone hold down Liora while she cut Liora’s calf with a knife, cutting it ninety–nine times.
The second video shows Talia, in the third year of junior high school, laughing wildly as she stuffs notes into Liora’s eyes on the rooftop.
***
The ninety–ninth video, during her junior year, Talia made her assistant force Liora to swallow a cigarette butt. She was filming from an angle when she accidentally fell and dropped.
These scenes were broadcast, and the wedding venue fell silent in an
instant.
For a while, someone whispered, “Didn’t Greg say Liora had been bullying Talia for a long time? Why are all the videos showing Liora being bullied?”

“Liora’s pained, suppressed, and helpless gaze did act.”
4ot seem like.
“Oh my God, I felt like crying when I saw Liora’s eyes, they were clearly depressed.”
“I dare not imagine, these videos must have been secretly recorded by Liora in advance on the rooftop, but in places where there were no cameras, did Liora suffer even more torment?”
Not only were the guests present shocked, but even the viewers watching the live broadcast were filled with question marks!
Just a moment ago, the brothers who were still shouting “Greg cheating Liora with a nude loan is doing justice for the heavens” looked at each other, each with a dumbfounded expression.
In the noisy wedding scene, Greg stared in astonishment at the video on the big screen, his mind blanking out for a few seconds.
He watched it over and over again in disbelief.
For a long time, a complex mix of emotions flashed across Greg’s face – shock, doubt, confusion, and… regret.
He seemed to have figured out something, took two steps back, and almost fell down.
The secretary on the side hurriedly supported him, “Mr. Alston, you need to calm down.”
With the secretary’s support, Greg slowly sat down, trembling. Images of him dating Liora flashed through his mind.
Every time Liora got drunk, she would always say to him with a pained expression, “Sob, I really didn’t push her down, but no one believes me, even Talia’s dad threatened me…”

“I couldn’t understand why these people kept bullying me, why didn’t my parents take me away…”
At that time, he always thought that Liora’s acting was extremely good, so good that several times he almost empathized with her.
Actually, over the past three years, Liora has mentioned several times that she wanted to show him the video of Talia falling from the building.
But he never believed her, and always found various excuses to reject her.
He really didn’t expect that Liora wasn’t acting, she was actually being bullied.
Greg suddenly stood up and kicked the table beside him violently, “I really should die!”
Greg’s out–of–control behavior scared the guests present.
Many guests got up and left.
Greg thought of something and suddenly stared at the cowering Talia beside him. He took a few steps forward and grabbed her by the neck, saying, “Tell me! Why did you lie to me?”
Talia was forced to tilt her head back, the sudden feeling of suffocation making it hard for her to catch her breath.
The lie was exposed, she trembled all over, unable to say a word for a long time.
“I…I…”
Greg gritted his teeth, stared at her fiercely, and threatened, “If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for taking action!”

Talia watched as Greg waved for the bodyguard to come over. She shuddered and exclaimed loudly, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

“It must have been Liora who framed me, she deliberately edited the video to try to kill me!”
“Yes, that must be it!”
In the past, every word Talia said was taken seriously by Greg when it reached his ears.
No one knew that when Greg first saw Talia, it was raining. At that time, Talia braved the rain to save a dying kitten.
This incident made him view Talia through a filter, to the point where he would not doubt anything she said later on.
However, Greg was not a fool.
The video that was just played, the painful, helpless, desperate, and empty look in Liora’s eyes is difficult for ordinary people to portray!
He was deceived by Talia for over a decade!
Greg grabbed Talia’s neck with force, leaving several distinct finger marks on her skin. “Still refusing to tell the truth?”
Greg squinted his eyes, his face darkening like never before: “The photos you sent of eyes stuffed with paper and legs bleeding from a knife cut, the injured person is not you at all, it’s Liora, isn’t it!”
“You were really quite clever.
Talia looked at Greg with red eyes as his face darkened.
In the past, whenever she cried for two seconds, Greg would send
Chapter 8
someone to protect her.
Now, she was crying almost to the point of fainting, but Greg showed no sign of pity in his eyes.
Talia naturally did not dare to admit that she had been bullying Liora for a long time.
She looked up helplessly, choking back tears as she pleaded to Greg, “Mr. Alston, there must be some misunderstanding here. Do you believe me? Give me a few days, I will definitely find evidence to defend myself!”
“If, if you really don’t believe me, then… then I won’t appear in front of you again in the future.
With that, Talia deliberately squeezed out two tears and said, “Liora has not liked me for a long time. She is jealous of everything I have, always trying to set me up. This time must be no different…”
Talia kept crying and complaining about her grievances.
She prayed that Greg still had some feelings for her and that they could smoothly get through this.
In the future, anyway, they were all in Davis, and he would find a way to get Greg back
As for Liora, she had no parents, not even her uncles and aunts liked her. She had no resources to stand up for herself at all.
There is always a chance for oneself to make a comeback!
However, this time Greg did not trust Talia’s words as easily as he had in the past.
