Even though the contents of the Image Stone hadn’t been revealed, everyone understood the situation. Yet, the standoff persisted, with neither Ye Leng’an nor Ye Wanwan making the next move.

“Alright, Wanwan, I’ll give you a chance.” Ye Leng’an blinked as if struck by a sudden idea. “Since I have no desire to publicize the messy relationship between me and the Ye family, I’ll let you speak the truth. In return, I won’t release the video. How about it?”

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s proposal, everyone perked up.

It was unsettling to recall the rumors circulating in the Hidden World that Ye Leng’an was a descendant of the Ye family. However, the Ye family had already issued a statement denying any association with Ye Leng’an. So, what other secrets lay hidden?

Speculations ran wild among the crowd.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s expressions turned grim.

At this point, how could they fail to see the truth? They never imagined that today’s events were all orchestrated by Wanwan.

Suddenly reminded of their earlier defense of Wanwan and their harsh words towards Ye Leng’an, they felt a pang of guilt.

Raising their heads, they looked at Ye Leng’an once more, filled with remorse.

Yet, Ye Leng’an paid no heed to their apologies, not even sparing them a glance. Her focus was entirely on Ye Wanwan.

“Have you made your decision yet? If not, then let me reveal the truth of this matter!”

Ye Leng’an slowly raised her hand while speaking, preparing to infuse her spiritual energy into the image stone to expose its contents.

“No,” Ye Wanwan interjected upon seeing Ye Leng’an’s actions. She couldn’t hold back any longer. “I’ll confess. None of today’s events have anything to do with Ye Leng’an. It was all a scheme orchestrated by me to frame her.”

As she spoke, hatred filled her gaze when she looked at Ye Leng’an. She never expected to be pushed to such lengths by Ye Leng’an.

Now, she didn’t dare to meet her parents’ eyes, fearing their disappointment. The joy she felt earlier for her parents standing by her side had vanished completely.

Although everyone had already guessed the truth, hearing it from Ye Wanwan was still shocking. They never imagined that all of this was Ye Wanwan’s doing.

Truly, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Ye Wanwan was ruthless in her attempt to frame Ye Leng’an, even at her own expense! Despite her injuries appearing severe, she would likely require a lengthy recovery. Yet, all of this was to frame Ye Leng’an.

However, along with the shock came doubt. Why would Ye Wanwan frame Ye Leng’an, even at her own expense? What grudge existed between them? Or was there a hidden feud between Ye Leng’an and the Ye family

“Wanwan!” Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t believe her ears. She seemed unable to accept what she was hearing.

Recalling her previous defense of Wanwan and her constant criticism of Ye Leng’an, she felt like a fool.

Ye Wanwan lowered her head, unable to meet anyone’s gaze. She feared seeing disdain in their eyes or even disgust in her fiancé’s.

“Alright, Master Ye, Mrs. Ye.” Ye Leng’an casually stowed away the Image Stone and turned to Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu with a smile. “I’ve given you the explanation you sought. Are you satisfied? However, what about the explanation I seek?”

As she spoke, her smile faded, and she took on a sharper demeanor.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but blush. At this moment, they lacked the courage to meet Ye Leng’an’s gaze. They didn’t know how to face her.

Just moments ago, they had nearly insulted Ye Leng’an in their defense of Ye Wanwan. But now, the truth had slapped them in the face.

It turned out that everything they thought had wronged Ye Wanwan was her own doing. And Ye Leng’an was the innocent victim.

They knew they had lost their daughter completely.

Seeing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s silence, Ye Leng’an didn’t press them further. She turned her gaze to Ye Wanwan and sneered before asking, “And what about you, Ye Wanwan? What do you plan to do now?”

Startled by the sudden address, Ye Wanwan looked up, suppressing her inner hatred. “Ye Leng’an, what more do you want?”

She had already been pushed to this point by Ye Leng’an. What else did Ye Leng’an want? Did she really intend to push her to her death before relenting? Even though Ye Leng’an was framed for this incident, it was Ye Wanwan who suffered the injuries. Why continue to press her?

“I don’t take losses lying down,” Ye Leng’an retorted, rolling her eyes. “Since you’ve claimed I injured you, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage if I didn’t? So…”

Before anyone could react, Ye Leng’an unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, aiming directly at Ye Wanwan.

“I might as well make your lies a reality!”

With those words, a surge of energy struck Ye Wanwan’s chest, mirroring her previous injury.

Even Murong Xingrui, who had been supporting Ye Wanwan, was caught off guard, forced to witness Ye Wanwan being injured once again.

Clutching her chest, Ye Wanwan felt a sharp pain, followed by a metallic taste in her mouth. Then, she couldn’t hold it back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even without a doctor’s diagnosis, she knew her injuries were serious. And now, compounded by this new injury, her entire body ached.

“Wanwan!”

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu screamed in unison.
