Chapter 4

Seeing how certain I was, Juliet's parents were somewhat convinced.

They prepared to sit down and watch the news about the research team's return with me.

But Thompson put on an appearance of deep distress and said:

"Dad, Mom, don't be fooled by her. She's just stalling for time."

"Let me just say it directly! During this time, Chloe not only secretly sent me messages pursuing me, but also sent me those kinds of videos!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and held it in front of Juliet's parents.

I looked confused and was about to move closer to see what video it was.

But before I could see it, Betty suddenly flew into a rage and shouted:

"Chloe, you shameless woman! You actually sent Thompson videos of yourself without clothes on!"

"Juliet treated you as her best friend, but you were a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Seducing your best friend's husband—are you even human! I'm going to beat you to death, you shameless woman!"

Seeing Betty's arm about to strike my face, I quickly stepped back.

Anderson's old face turned red, and his eyes were full of disgust as he looked at me.

"Chloe, I really didn't expect you would do such a thing!"

The sudden turn of events left me somewhat unprepared. I looked at Thompson and didn't miss the triumphant smile on his face.

I strode up to him and snatched his phone away.

But before I could see what was in the video, Thompson lunged at me, trying to attack.

He deliberately shouted, "Dad, Mom, this is bad! She's grabbing my phone to destroy the evidence!"

I quickly hid the phone behind my back and firmly gripped Thompson's wrist as he swung at me.

Then, using his own force, I twisted his hand and yanked it hard, making him slap his own face.

You've got to be kidding. I'm an elite member of the research team's field investigation group. Even five more Thompsons wouldn't necessarily be my match.

Thompson was stunned by the slap I made him give himself, then immediately insisted I was acting out of embarrassment.

"Dad, Mom, look! She's even resorting to violence to destroy evidence!"

"After all these years of treating her like a daughter, you've been deceived by her. She's not a good person at all."

"Dad, Mom, quickly help me stop her!"

"If she deletes the evidence, Juliet definitely won't believe that Chloe betrayed her. Then she'll only be determined to divorce me!"

Hearing this, Juliet's parents exchanged glances and made up their minds.

Then, the three of them surrounded me together.

"Chloe, we don't want to get physical with you either. Just hand over the evidence quickly."

"We can't let you deceive Juliet anymore!"

My expression turned cold. I felt utterly disheartened.

Just then, the sound of the door lock turning came from the entrance.

Juliet walked in carrying several documents. Seeing the three of them surrounding me, she shouted:

"Dad, Mom, Thompson, what are you doing?!"

At the same time, the news anchor's barely contained excited voice came from the TV:

"Now approaching us is Dr. Chloe, the leader of the Antarctic research team's field investigation group!"
