Chapter 304 Angela stared intently into Sally's eyes as if afraid she'd miss even the slightest flicker of emotion.
Sally clutched the hem of her shirt tightly, unable to utter a word for a long time.
"Talk!" Angela snapped impatiently.
Sally's body stiffened, and she instinctively blurted out, "Amber... She had someone give500 thousand dollars to pull this off. I had no choice!" No wonder she took the risk. Money truly could make the world go round.
Her answer was unexpected yet completely logical.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Angela couldn't help but wonder-was Amber really that good of an actress? Was she truly this relentless? Even after committing such a grave act, she managed to play her role flawlessly, with every outburst and every defense so convincing that no one doubted her.
Was she really the mastermind behind this entire scheme? It was pretty hard to believe.
"Can you take responsibility for your words?" Angela pressed further.
With her psychological defenses completely shattered, Sally nodded vigorously, her face pale as she replied, "Yes, I can. I'm not lying. I have the transaction records." Angela and Dexter took Sally to the hospital.
The Sheppard family was gathered there, still discussing how to inflict the greatest punishment on Zack. Ssuggested forcing Zack to marry Amber, while others demanded millions of dollars in compensation to soothe their rage.
By the tAngela and her group arrived, emotions were running high. The Sheppard family seemed ready to form a mob, eager to publicly shand berate Zack's family.
That was until Angela told Russell why they were there. Russell immediately dismissed everyone and invited them inside.
At that moment, Amber was feeling lost and anxious.
The moment she saw Sally, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Y-you... What are you doing here?" she blurted out.
Sally's face was ashen. Trembling, she replied in a shaky voice, "Ms. Sheppard, I... I was caught. It's all my fault for being useless." That statement was as good as a direct confession that told everyone in the room that Amber was the true mastermind.
Amber suddenly exploded in fury. "What nonsense are you spouting? You're slandering me! What do you mean by that?" She sounded rather desperate.

"Ms. Sheppard, it's over. You should just admit to it. That night, it was you who..." Sally trailed off, unable to continue. She dropped her gaze to the floor, not daring to look anyone in the eye.
Angela sucked in a sharp breath. Did Amber really do all of this just to be with Zack? She was insane.
"It wasn't me! It really wasn't!" Amber's face was deathly pale aet she frantically tried to defend herself. "I'm the victim here. breally am the victim!"
"Enough!" Russell roared, pointing a furious finger, at her face. "What more do you want? It's nt? It's bad enough that you've humiliated yourself-do E you have to drag our entire family down with you? Do you even care about the Sheppard family's reputation?"
Russell, who valued his family's honor above all else, was seething with rage. He wished he could strangle his disgraceful daughter right then and there.
Amber's face drained of all color. She stumbled back two yo steps, staring at her furious father in disbelief. She had no idea what to do. Wait-there was still Elena. She was the one who manipulated her into doing this.
