Chapter 720: Evidence of the Truth

Wendy glanced at Lance and said, “Now that things have come to this point, do you still want to deny it? Good, then I shall reveal everything so that you can die a justified death!
“Why did you kill my nephew? It’s because your friend Jordan stole my nephew’s fiancée, so there was a conflict between the two of them. Because you’re good at martial arts, you beat up my nephew and humiliated him before chasing him away!
“My nephew obviously couldn’t take it lying down, so he got my bodyguard, Master Eli, to seek revenge on your friend. But in the end, you killed both Eli and my nephew in Orange County!”
Lance gritted his teeth and stood out to say, “That’s right. At the time, Mrs. Smith was a guest at my home. So I’m also aware of this matter. The truth is as it is! Roy and Master Eli were both shot to death by you, and their corpses are now still at my house!”
Although Vince had lost in front of Axel today, Lance still had to stand on Wendy’s side and help her cover it up.
After all, if the real cause of Roy’s death was exposed, Wendy and the Kingstons would both be doomed!
Moreover, if he could help the Smiths convict Lucas, the Smiths would probably remember it and give him credit for it. They might even help the Kingstons.
But Lance and Wendy had tallied their statements beforehand, though Lance couldn’t say many of the details.
“Oh, you said that I shot Roy dead. Where is the evidence? Or did you see me shoot and kill him and his bodyguard with your own eyes?” Lucas sneered.
Lance immediately tensed his neck and said, “Of course I have evidence! That day, when you killed the two of them, the roadside surveillance cameras captured your actions! Mrs. Smith and I have seen the footage, and we have determined that you are the murderer!”
“Oh~ so there’s actually camera footage as evidence, huh? Very well, quickly show it to us. I also want to know how I actually shot and killed that Smith scion!” Lucas said with a face full of mockery.
There was naturally no surveillance camera footage.
Two beads of sweat appeared on Lance’s forehead. But he quickly thought of something to say and revealed a sad and indignant look as he pointed at Lucas and rebuked furiously, “How dare you ask me for the camera footage as evidence when things have already come to this? Haven’t you long snatched the footage? I really want to ask you for it, but I’m afraid you’ve destroyed it long ago!”
Their justified way of twisting facts made Lucas burst into laughter.
“Okay, since you say I toke the video evidence, it just so happens that I have a video clip, so I might as well play it for everyone! Let’s see what this so-called murder evidence is all about!”
While speaking, he took out a small USB flash drive from his pocket and waved it at Lance and Wendy with a bizarre smile at the corner of his mouth.
Lance and Wendy looked at each other, and both couldn’t help having an ominous hunch.
The two of them knew, of course, that Lucas hadn’t killed Roy at all. Roy and Eli had actually died in the living room of the Kingstons’ home, so how could there possibly be any footage from the roadside surveillance cameras?
In that case, what was the content of the video that Lucas wanted to show them?
Connor volunteered to take the flash drive from Lucas and then walked to the projector at the front of the venue. After a series of actions, a clear image appeared on the large projector screen.
Everyone stared intently at the projection screen, wanting to know what Lucas was showing.
The scene on the screen was shot in the living room of a mansion, and there were three people standing inside. In addition to Wendy and Lance, who were currently present, there was also a young man in his twenties.
“Thank you, Aunt Wendy! But we just need to teach the Stones a lesson. Please let Maddy off. After all, I still want to marry her,” the young man said to Wendy.
After hearing the way he addressed Wendy, everyone figured out immediately that he was probably Vince’s son Roy.
“Okay, I got it.” Wendy smiled and agreed. But the next second, she pulled out a small pistol from her body and aimed the dark muzzle at Roy.
“Aunt Wendy, you…?!” Roy was astounded, and his eyes suddenly widened.
But the next moment, the dull and bizarre sound of a gun with a silencer attached filled the air. A finger-thick hole immediately appeared between Roy’s eyebrows, from which blood flowed out.
Roy still had shock and disbelief all over his face as his pupils gradually dimmed. Then he slowly fell backward to the floor.
“Mrs… Mrs. Smith! Wh-what are you doing?” Lance was terrified and utterly shocked in the video.
Immediately afterward, Wendy took the gun and aimed it at the middle-aged man resembling a bodyguard kneeling on the floor. She then pulled the trigger and ended his life.
“Ah… Actually, I didn’t want to do this, but I didn’t have a valid reason to ask the family for help.
“Only with Roy’s death would the Smiths take this matter seriously and send a stronger, elite expert to deal with Lucas Gray. Now, do you understand my approach? Roy and Eli have both been killed by Lucas Gray, right?”
Wendy glanced at Lance.
Lance shuddered and hurriedly said, “Yes! That’s it! Mr. Kingston found out that Lucas Gray’s friend snatched his fiancée, so he felt insulted and brought Eli with him to take revenge on Lucas Gray. However, both of them were brutally killed by Lucas Gray!”
“It’s good that you know. I will contact the Smiths in DC now, and soon, I will be able to take revenge for my love and son!”
…
The video footage ended here. Although it lasted only a short two to three minutes, all of them had watched clearly how Roy and the bodyguard died.
The moment she saw the video, Wendy got the chills, and even her blood froze, as if she had been thrown into a cellar.
Next to her, Lance’s face was no better than hers. Deep down, he thought, Oh dear! It’s over. We got exposed!
At that moment, Wendy couldn’t wait to run over and unplug the damned USB flash drive from the projector before destroying the video completely so that no one could see it!
But as soon as she moved, an iron grip caught her arm hard.
“Hold it. If you dare to move a single step, I will immediately kill you!” Vince said in a voice full of murderous aura. Even though the lights were off and his expression was barely visible, Wendy could feel her cousin gritting his teeth.
So, in the next two to three minutes of the footage playback, Wendy’s heart was skipping beats, and she was full of fear.
Only after the video came to an end and the lights in the venue lit up again did Wendy raise her head and see the anger on Vince’s face.
“This is what you call the truth, huh?” Vince had a terrifying gaze in his eyes, and he wished he could devour Wendy alive.
