Ava continued, “About five years ago in April, Thelma met with her online friend. If she got pregnant, the child would be about the same age as Tyler. Mr. Sam, you and Thelma shouldn’t have met in April, right?”
Sam Noah’s expression darkened, his tone carrying a warning, “Ava, please be mindful of your words. Do you know what you are talking about?”
With Thelma pushing her this hard, Ava had no way out now. She took out her phone, which had a video saved on it. However, since it was from a few years ago, the pixel quality wasn’t very clear. She opened it and held it up in front of Sam Noah.
“Mr. Sam, please take a look. This is a video I recorded five years ago. At that time, she arranged to meet her online friend, who was an old and ugly man. If she could lower herself to that level, wouldn’t you say she is sentimental?”
The video indeed showed a man who looked to be in his fifties walking to a room and knocking on the door. After a while, the door opened, and from the video’s angle, it was very clear that Thelma was the one who opened the door. The old man followed her into the room, and the door closed, ending the video there.
Ava added, “Mr. Sam, just to be cautious, I suggest you conduct a paternity test for the Tyler.
Ava’s gaze turned cold towards Thelma. You want to ruin me, right? Then I’ll ruin you, too. If I have to go down, I’ll take someone with me.
Ava waited for Sam Noah to explode in anger and for Thelma to panic, but she didn’t expect that after watching the video, Thelma would remain calm. Although Sam Noah’s expression was not good, he didn’t show the kind of anger one would expect from a man who had just learned he was an unexpected father.
“Ava, is the person in your video that man?”
Sam Noah pointed in a certain direction, and Ava looked over, only to see a man in his fifties slowly walking towards them. She had watched that video countless times and could easily recognize that this man was the one from the video, but why was he here?
Sam Noah continued, “This is Lennox, the head of the Sam Group’s Maplewick distillery. Five years ago, I had just moved the headquarters to Brackenfield, and he was one of the veterans who followed me to Brackenfield to venture out.
Ava probably doesn’t know that the online friend chatting with my wife was me. That day, I received news and was afraid it was a scam, so I had Lennox go check it out first. After Lennox confirmed that the person in the room was indeed Miss Thelma, I went in. So the person who had been with my wife that day was me. I am the online friend she had been chatting with for many years, ‘silentstorm.’ Ava probably knows ‘silentstorm,’ right?”
Ava was completely stunned. She felt that everything before her was too unreal, as if her worldview had collapsed. For so many years, she had firmly believed that the person who entered Thelma’s room that night was an old and ugly man. Because she had recorded the video, she thought it was all true. But now Sam Noah was telling her that the person who entered Thelma’s room that night and stayed with her was him!
Her understanding was violently shaken. She couldn’t believe it! How could Thelma’s online friend be Sam Noah? How could that old and ugly man, ‘Silent Storm,’ possibly be a man like Sam Noah?
Sam Noah continued, “When we signed the contract, I had no idea that Ava had a history with drugs. If I had known, I would never have made you the spokesperson for the new product. Ava’s image simply does not fit the image of a spokesperson for Sam Group, so our contract is hereby terminated. Not only that, but I will also have to send Ava to the police station for investigation, as drug use is a crime.”
Security personnel had already come forward to grab Ava’s arm and were dragging her out. Ava was still in a daze, her mind filled with a chaotic noise. It wasn’t until the security dragged her to the door that she came to her senses and screamed, “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You are all liars, you tricked me! You can’t be silentstorm!”
Ava was taken away, and Susan, worried about her, followed after. Only Chris remained standing there, unsure how things had turned out this way.
Thelma reminded him, “Your good daughter has been taken away; aren’t you going to check on her?”
