Chapter 198 When Husband and Wife, Mother-in-Law, and Daughter-in-Law Teamed Up to Expose the Scoundrel
Adeline understood the hint from old Mrs. Riley, which made her feel warmth. She nodded in agreement. then rose from her seat, fixing her penetrating gaze on Tristan.
"That's such a huge misunderstanding! Mr. Morris, you mentioned that it was just playful behavior between children and it's a family matter. But when an issue crosses the boundaries of the law, it ceases to be child's play or a family matter. It becomes a criminal! You mentioned that the girl falsely accused your son of rape. I believe that you are more aware of the actual situation than anyone else.”
Seeing Adeline becoming increasingly impassioned, Logan quickly interjected, "Adeline..." Before he could finish his sentence, he received three sharp rebukes
"Shut up!"
Adeline, old Mrs. Riley, and Curtis berated him in unison
Logan shut his mouth in frustration.
Adeline turned to look at Tristan and continued, “Alright, let's assume your statement is true, that Quinna and your son had a sexual relationship when they were in a relationship. Then why does the medical examination report state that the girl had multiple severe soft tissue injuries and tears? Can you explain why a girl in a loving relationship would sustain such severe injuries? And let's not forget, Mr. Morris, that your son forcibly dragged that girl into the schoal's sports equipment room on one of the days. If I hadn't intervened, he might have committed a crime. Doing such a thing openly in the middle of the day, is he not considered behaving like an animal?"
"You..." Tristan's face turned red upon hearing the word “animal”.
"As for what happened afterward and why that girl changed her statement, don't you have any idea? You helped her mother find a kidney donor, using emotional and moral pressure to manipulate that girl, just to secure the freedom of your incompetent son! Originally, it was a willing exchange, and I couldn't intervene. But over a year later, your son went after her again. Mr. Morris, I want to emphasize that girl helped me before. As long as she is my student, I cannot stand idly by!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Steffen couldn't help but want to applaud.
Initially, he thought Mrs. Riley had a gentle temperament, and that was what Mr. Riley liked her about, but he didn't expect her to have such strong moral principles!
It seemed that she must have some good qualities herself to be able to match with that fine man. At the same time, Edith was about to speak, but Adeline gave her a withering look
"Shut your mouth too! You say you care about me? Have you ever seen a mother who openly shares her daughter's counseling records? Is this love for me? Is this helpful to me? Are you afraid I am not looking bad enough? Why do you think I went for psychological counseling back then? It was because that animal locked me in the closet and violated that girl. For a long time, I would hear the girl’s screams every night when I closed my eyes to sleep! And it wasn't because of guilt at all!"
Upon hearing that, old Mrs. Riley who always had a strong sense of justice felt a surge of anger as well.
She was both angry and heartbroken for Adeline.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Curtis nodded at Adeline and then turned to his mother, inquiring, "Mom, Adeline has said enough for now. Can I explain myself?” "Alright, go ahead. Why did you beat him up last night?"
Curtis adjusted his sitting posture slightly, his gaze appearing somewhat absent, and his voice was calm.
"Last night, I didn't instruct anyone to beat someone up. Sara was the one who beat that incompetent... person. Oh no, it is an animal. = Besides, this matter has nothing to ale) with Adeline. It's purely Sara S grtzige.” 4 to 4

Suddenly, Curtis's tone changed, his voice grew heavier, and his previously absent gaze sharpened. "But no matter what my people do, I will protect them!"
Old Mrs. Riley slammed the table and exclaimed, "Good! This is how a Riley should be, not shifting blame and standing up for our own!"
Then, she looked at Curtis with a serious expression and added, "But you still haye to explain. After all, the parents Came to us. You can't just let hinmgo without explanation\At the véry least, you should telthim how his incompetent son.got beaten up!"
Steffen was speechless. He thought to himself, "Miss Burton, Mr. Riley, and old Mrs. Riley, how many times do you want to repeat the word incompetent?”
That was what made them a family!
Curtis raised his eyebrow as he looked at Tristan and his expression was cold, "Sara's sister is the one violated by Jonathan. The deaths.6 of their faraily are because of this matter. There are three lives! I if Sara dida’t beat Jonathan to death, it's cansidered that I've educated my people very well.”
Steffen remained silent and thought to himself.
"Why is he praising himself now?"
