Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 98

Everly and Alicia were stunned. Then, Alicia said, "Mr. Charles, Rachael has given us an explanation. Some people can't control their faces when taking pictures. Please forgive Rachael, Mr. Charles!"

Alicia's words raised some questions again.

"If Miss Alicia hadn't reminded me, I would have been fooled by this bitch!"

"Exactly. Some people are like what Alicia said. They'd freeze like a puppet in photos no matter how brightly they were smiling before!"

"That's how I am. I look the same in all the photos on my phone, from my expression to my pose!"

"This woman is so disgusting. Her face looks stiff in the photos, and she wanted to use it to defend herself!"

I looked at the people in front of me. Alicia had aroused their anger once again. Then, I turned my eyes upon Alicia's eyes. She was gloating. I couldn't remember where these photos came from at the beginning, but then it occurred to me that they were secretly taken by Alicia or Shania when I was having dinner at the Cornell family.

But it didn't matter. They must have deleted the photo. Anyway, I had never thought of relying on this to gain people's trust in me.

I smiled, waving my hand, "Alicia, you are so kind to me, pleading with Kieran to forgive me when there's insufficient evidence. But I can't accept Kieran's forgiveness under this circumstance!"

"In that case, you should go!"

"That's right. Don't you feel shameful? Why are you still here?"

"Go away, slut!" The people were kicking me out.

I smiled, "Dear colleagues, I can go, but shouldn't I be allowed to finish my words? Besides, Kieran hasn't spoken yet. You have no right to say anything!" I spoke with cold eyes. In an instant, everyone fell silent. They were fearful of getting punished by Kieran.

Kieran's devilish face was filled with coldness. He showed no emotion. No one dared to make any sound.

I smiled, "Take it easy, everyone. Kieran is kind. He won't care!"

When I finished speaking, everyone was staring at me, looking frightened.

I smiled, "Let's go down to business. Take a look at these photos!" Then, I showed them the pictures of scenery and people that I had downloaded from the Internet. Everyone looked scornful, thinking that I was trying to change the subject.

"Everyone, listen to me. You can see that the lights and the shadows are in the same direction in these photos because they have never been edited before. I assume that you all understand what 'the lights and the shadows are in the same direction' means!"

Everyone could not help but snort. However, they kept it quiet.

I ignored them, enlarging a nude picture, "Look at this photo. They are in bed. The light comes from the right. The man's shadow is on the left, but the woman's shadows are on both sides. Isn't it strange?"

Then, I changed it to another photo, "Look at the next one. It has the same problem. The light comes from the left. The shadow of the man is in the normal direction, but that of the woman is strange. You can look at the rest by yourselves!" I enlarged the rest of the photos and explained them one by one.

Everyone's getting less angry. They began whispering, "The shadows are too strange. I just looked at the photos on my phone. The lights and the shadows are in the same direction. But it's not the case when it comes to the nude pictures!"

"Exactly. I just looked at the photos on my phone, too. The lights and the shadows are in the same direction. Then, I looked at the nude pictures a few more times. Their lights and shadows are not always in the same direction, which doesn't make sense. It means that the nude pictures were edited, and the person who did it was not careful enough!"

"I also think so. They are definitely edited. The stiff face is barely a reason, but the lights and the shadows are sound evidence!"

Hearing what people had said, Alicia turned blue in the face. Then, she threw me a hostile glare, seeming to be telling me that she would get what she wanted. I smiled at her, putting my right hand into my pocket.

"Rachael, I know you're anxious to get Mr. Charles to forgive you, but you can't turn black into white. You did something wrong, and you should admit it. Rachael, as long as you admit it, I will forgive you, and Mr. Charles will forgive you, too!" Alicia looked at me as if she cared about me, waiting for me to say that I would correct my mistakes.

I smiled faintly, "Alicia, do you have more evidence?"

"Rachael, do you still insist on your innocence? Then I'll be the bad guy to let you become aware of your mistakes!" Alicia said with a strong sense of righteousness. She took out her phone and dialed a number while saying, "I don't understand what Rachael said just now, but I know what a witness is. The person I'm calling now is Rachael's boyfriend in this photo!" She came over, showing everyone the picture of Kaleb and me.

"Right. No theory can be more convincing than a witness. If the man admits it, these photos will be 100% true!"

"I agree. If this man admits it, everything Rachael says would be lies!" People started questioning my innocence again. None of them dared to say it out loud, but they were gloating, waiting for me to be proved a slut.

As I listened, the smile on my face became more obvious, "Alicia said that if someone could prove it, especially one of the ... boyfriends in the photos, I would have to admit that I was lying. In that case, I suggest that Alicia put him on speaker so that we can hear it clearer!"

"As you wish, Rachael!"

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, I said, "But let's be clear. If there's no one answering the call, it'll be the other way round!"

"Of course!" Alicia turned on the speaker with confidence. And the entire office could hear the beeping sounds. If there was a stereo, I was sure that Alicia would use it so that everyone in the world would hear it. I noticed that she had flashed me a look with a smug face.

I stood there, listening to the busy tones. In the end, the phone was hung up automatically, and Alicia's face turned blue.

I smiled, "He probably didn't hear it. That's fine. You can make another call!"

"He may not see it!" Alicia called him again. However, there was still no one answering. Alicia's face darkened, and then she called several more times. There were still busy tones.

When Alicia was about to make the next call, I said, "Alicia, it seems that you hope someone will answer the phone to prove that what you said is true. I thought that you wanted these photos to be fake. After all, I am your closest sister, and there is someone in the photo that you love!"
