My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 236: Chicanery

Wendy stood still, coldly watching Eris pretending to be wronged.

"Wendy...I'm your half-sister!"

As soon as the reporters heard these words, they flared up at Eris.

"What? Eris, so you already knew that Ruben is your biological father? Then why did you pretend to be
so pitiful? Haven't you always told everyone that you lost your biological father at a young age?"

Eris bit her lower lip and nodded.

"I didn't know the truth until recently..."

"Eris, do you take us for fools? You only found out that Ruben is your biological father recently? Do
those words sound believable to you?"

Realizing that the reporters wouldn't believe her so easily, Eris turned pale.

"It's true.She only found out recently,"

Ruben said while helping Cacia up to her feet.

"I was still married to Cassie when Eris was born.In order to hide the truth, we told everyone that Eris
was the daughter of Cacia and another man.We even hid it from Eris."

The reporters scoffed in disbelief.

Whatever the truth was, nobody could deny that Ruben was a great father to Eris.

Wendy, Reese, and Eris were all his daughters.But while he treated Wendy and Reese so ruthlessly,
he took great care of Eris.He had obviously spent a lot of money on raising Eris, and had even



protected her reputation so well until now.

A father like him was really disgusting.

The reporters all looked at him with disgust.

However, Ruben didn't care about their gazes at all.He and Cacia knew that they were already done
for.

But Eris was their daughter who they had spoiled since she was a child.She still had a long life ahead
of her.

They didn't want to drag Eris into this.

Thinking of that, Ruben and Cacia looked at each other with firm eyes.

"Yes, the two of us did everything alone," Ruben continued gruffly.

"Eris knows nothing.Don't hurt the innocent."

When Eris heard this, her eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Just now, many people had seen the video of Cacia killed Cassie, and it was obvious that Ruben was
involved, too.

The two of them wouldn't be able to escape from the law or public judgment.

But Eris knew that her situation was different.She was still young and had a bright future ahead of
her.She couldn't let herself be dragged down by them.

Thinking of this, she decisively bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, causing tears to instantly spill
from her eyes.



"Wendy, I know...Since Dad always treated me better than you, you never liked me.But still, you
shouldn't take out all your anger on me like this.You even claimed that I seduced your
boyfriend...Wendy, are you trying to destroy me?"

Dressed in white clothes, Eris looked like a pure lily.

And the tears that fell down her cheeks only enhanced her innocent appearance, making people take
pity on her.

The reporters looked at Wendy and then at Eris.

For a moment, they didn't know whom to believe.

"Eris, what about the Facebook account that belongs to you? There were intimate photos of you and
Brian on it, and they were posted while Brian and Wendy were still together.How do you explain that?"
a reporter asked sharply.

Another snorted and said, "The evidence is irrefutable.You can't deny that."

"Eris, just admit it."

When Eris heard these words, she stiffened in shock.

She had rushed here as soon as she had seen Vernon, so she had missed the part where Reese had
revealed one of her Facebook accounts.

Now that she thought about it, she had indeed used a secret Facebook account in the past.

That was back when she had just started dating Brian and couldn't tell anyone about their relationship,
since she was the other woman.But how could a woman with such an excellent boyfriend not show him
off to other people? For Eris, keeping her relationship with Brian a secret had been pure torture.



Therefore, she had opened a new Facebook account where she posted photos and videos from the
early days of their relationship.

She had used that account for more than a year.

Later, when her relationship with Brian had been made public, she had abandoned that account and
slowly forgotten about it.

However, she had never expected anyone to dig up that account.She had even forgotten the password.

"Eris, do you admit it?"

"You stole Wendy's boyfriend, but you told everyone that she stole your boyfriend.Don't you have a
conscience?"

"Eris, stop pretending.Vernon already told everyone that you got the drug from him.You drugged your
own sister and stole her boyfriend.It was because of your trap that she got pregnant, but you didn't stop
there.You even stabbed yourself on purpose to frame her.You're despicable!"

At this moment, the disdainful eyes of the reporters were like sharp knives, mercilessly stabbing into
Eris' body.

It took all her strength to stop herself from trembling in fear.

She knew that she couldn't let her guilty conscience show.

But at the same time, she knew that if she didn't give a reasonable explanation now, she would never
be able to clear her name again in the future.

Once the public found out about this, her career would be over.

Just the thought of that was enough to bring tears to her eyes.



Letting them freely stream down her cheeks, she said, "Wendy, don't try to frame me just because you
hate me.Did you tell Vernon to say such things? He did have a crush on me back then, but I refused
him after I realized what was on his mind.As for the receipt you mentioned...Isn't he just taking revenge
on me since I rejected him all those years ago?"

As Eris spoke, she slowly walked onto the stage.Once she was standing in front of Wendy, she knelt
down.The sound of her knees hitting the wooden stage made a muffled sound, causing the reporters to
gasp in shock.

Cacia burst into tears at the sight of her daughter going through such pain, but her face was so swollen
that she couldn't say a word.

"Eris, what are you doing?" Ruben hurried forward to help her up.

"Dad, don't move! I'm apologizing to Wendy!" she said before turning back to Wendy.

"Wendy, I'm sorry!"

Wendy just looked down at her expressionlessly.

"Sorry for what?"

"I apologize to you on behalf of my parents.I didn't know...I really didn't know that they did so many
cruel things to you.If I had known it before, I would never have let them treat you and Reese like that."

Wendy sneered.She knew that Eris was trying to put all the blame on Ruben and Cacia.

Staring coldly at the woman kneeling in front of her, she asked, "You mean you're innocent? Eris, are
you sure you didn't do anything wrong?"

"No.I did do something wrong," Eris replied without skipping a beat.



Wendy raised her eyebrows, curious to see what kind of trick Eris had up her sleeve.

"What is that?"

"I admit that when we were children, I bullied you a lot because Mom and Dad doted on me.But
Wendy, it's normal for sisters to quarrel.You can't hate me for such a small thing,"

Eris cried pitifully, as if she was the victim in this situation.

The male reporters, in particular, felt sorry for her.

"Well...Could it just be a misunderstanding between them? Eris doesn't look like she's capable of doing
such bad things!" one of the male reporters said in a low voice.

But because of the pin-drop silence in the hall, his words were clear enough for everyone to hear.

Eris inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wendy's eyes turned even colder "You want to confuse the audience and seize the opportunity to
reverse the situation? In your dreams!”

Narrowing her eyes, she asked, "So you're not going to admit that you drugged me, stole my boyfriend
Brian, and even stabbed yourself with a knife in order to frame me?"
