Chapter 170 Brian grabbed Adeline by the hair and forced her face against the tablet screen . His fingers were so tense that his knuckles turned white.N " Look carefully ! Is this you ? Tell me ! " he shouted . Brian's assistant replayed the video without hesitation . On the screen , every ugly truth was revealed . The footage showed Adeline bullying me at home , the recordings I had taken , the deal she made with the kidnappers and her phone call with the prison guards . Every word , every frame , was clear and undeniable . Adeline sobbed , tears streaming down her face . Still , she shook her head violently . Her voice trembling as she tried to deny it , " It wasn't me ! Brian , it's Lilian ! She framed me ! She's jealous that I have our parents ' love and that you protect me . So she made all this up to hurt me ! " } " Jealous of you ? " " Brian let out a cold , humorless laugh , as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world . His grip on her hair tightened . \ " What would she be jealous of ? That you stole her identity and took her rightful place as the real Miss Wyatt ? Or that you tricked me with your lies and stole my trust ? You're the one who took everything from her ! " Adeline's shoulders shook violently . Her crying grew desperate , almost crazed . " " These are all fake ! She made them up ! Mum and Dad never liked her anyway . Now they just want to use this to push me out of the Wyatt Family ! " } Brian suddenly released her . Adeline stumbled and fell to the ground . He looked down at her coldly . " " So , it was you three who worked together to drive her out of the Wyatt Family and out of my life ? " < He let out a chilling laugh that sent shivers through the room . " Adeline , do you really think I didn't know ? If you hadn't threatened her with the Wyatt Family's downfall , if you hadn't begged her with tears to marry into the Herbert family in your place , why would she ever agree to swap marriages with you ? " } " Why would she endure so much suffering by my side ? " Adeline thrashed wildly , clawing at Brian's wrist with her nails . " No , it wasn't me ! I didn't force her ! " } " She did it because she wanted to ! She wanted to steal you from me ! " Even now , Adeline stubbornly refused to admit the truth . Brian's patience finally ran out . He then let her go before shouting angrily , " Bring them in ! " Two bodyguards immediately entered , dragging in three men . They were the kidnappers from that night . Along with them was the prison guard who had followed Adeline's orders . " The men kept their heads down , trembling under Brian's icy stare . Adeline's face turned pale . She stumbled backward , her voice breaking with panic as she said , " You ... why are you here? " However , Brian ignored her and walked up to the boss of the kidnappers . [ His tone was sharp and merciless as he said , " Raise your head and tell me . Was she the one who hired you to kidnap Lilian and ordered you to hurt her in prison ? " ! He pointed straight at Adeline , who was lying helplessly on the floor . " The men exchanged frightened glances . Finally , one of them spoke , his voice shaking as he answered , " Yes ... yes , it was Miss Wyatt ! She paid us to do it ! " Another man quickly added , " We have records , Mr. Herbert . We were just taking her money . That's all ! " They pulled out their phones and showed the transfer records as proof . With the evidence laid bare , Adeline froze . Her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground . Her eyes turned empty . Tears streamed down her cheeks like broken beads , but she had no words left to defend herself .
