Chapter 887
No.1
“You’re about to be a mother. Have some decency for your child!”
“Even Harrison said she was! Arabella herself is hiding. What’s left to lie about? If she’s not, then who is?”
“Is GoldenPhoenix using a pregnant woman to spin lies? How despicable! I hope you go bankrupt!”
The pregnant woman stood her ground. “It’s true Arabella was with Harrison. But she was deceived! Before you judge, listen to this!”
She raised a portable speaker and pressed play.
A recording blasted into the air.
(Harrison, let's get married. It’s been six years. I’ll put my career on hold for you.)
[No. You’re at your peak. Marriage now is impossible.]
(Harrison, this is my thirty-ninth proposal. Your thirty-ninth rejection. Be honest. Do you love someone else? Are you already married?)
[How could you think that? I’m not that kind of man! Listen, Arabella, this is for your own good…]
The voices were unmistakable. Arabella’s gentle tone, Harrison’s dismissive replies. The conversation was crystal clear.
But the content… it was completely different from the story everyone knew.
Some of the attackers fell silent at the new evidence.
Others remained skeptical and voiced their doubts.
“Where did this recording come from? Did you pay someone to fabricate it?”
No.2
“If this is true, why didn’t Arabella come forward herself?”
“This has to be edited. Don’t think you can trick us with fake proof!”
Their protests grew louder and more aggressive.
The pregnant woman stepped forward confidently.
“Arabella stayed silent because she had no proof. This audio was obtained by Isabella Montgomery.”
“She contacted Vertex Communications and requested an overnight search of their archives.”
“It’s completely authentic.”
She continued, her voice clear and strong.
“Dozens of technicians worked through years of call records.”
“They located this conversation just an hour ago.”
“Vertex Communications will verify this recording’s legitimacy.”
“If it’s fabricated, they will accept full legal responsibility.”
Though visibly pregnant, she carried undeniable authority.
Isabella recognized her immediately.
Eleanor Kensington, former Vice President of Vertex Communications.
No.3
She had resigned recently due to her pregnancy.
Isabella had indeed requested the records search.
But she had never spoken to Eleanor directly.
How did she know so many details?
Meanwhile, the live stream comments exploded.
[That’s definitely Eleanor Kensington. She’s reputable and doesn’t lie!]
[Hello, I’m the current President of Vertex. I confirm this recording is genuine.]
[I’m Gregory Whitmore, lead investigator on this project. I also verify its authenticity.]
Gregory Whitmore was Vertex’s head of security.
A decorated former soldier and respected professional.
All usernames were officially verified.
These were real people staking their reputations.
The evidence was undeniable.
Viewers were just as stunned as the trapped attackers.
So Arabella was deceived by Harrison?
No.4
She never knew he was married?
The mob’s anger began to shift.
“How could this happen? Harrison lied to everyone?”
“So Arabella wasn’t the other woman? She was victimized?”
“Isabella, you protected her because you knew the truth?”
“All this time, Arabella suffered unjust accusations…”
Isabella responded calmly to their questions.
“You thought her suicide attempt was an act? After I pulled her back, she slit her wrists.”
“She’s still recovering, weak and traumatized.”
“Think about it. If she were truly shameless, why would she try to kill herself?”
“Harrison lied to her from the beginning.”
“He manipulated her emotionally and financially for years.”
“He took everything from her—her trust, her money, her dignity.”
Isabella’s voice grew sharper.
“What happened to Genevieve is tragic, yes.”
No.5
“But Arabella is just as much a victim!”
“The only person to blame here is Harrison Winslow.”
“You’ve all attacked Arabella from the beginning, yet none of you held Harrison accountable for his actions. When an affair happens between a woman and a married man, why does the woman bear all the blame while the man gets to return to his family and receive forgiveness without consequences?”
Isabella’s sharp, articulate words struck the audience like a physical blow.
Viewers on the live stream flooded the comments with praise for her.
[Isabella is absolutely right, Harrison is the real villain! That scumbag deserves to rot!
[Arabella is so unlucky! Not only did he deceive her for seven years, but he also exploited her. Now she’s being mocked and labeled a homewrecker!
[Harrison Winslow is trash! Let’s storm his social media! Bombard him!]
The online outrage escalated rapidly.
Meanwhile, Arabella’s assistant helped her out of the building. Arabella’s wrist was heavily bandaged, her face pale and drained. As she looked at the crowd outside, tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Arabella never imagined the truth would come out. She had resigned herself to dying with her innocence buried, believing no one would ever believe her. She was prepared to die unjustly, yet Isabella managed to clear her name…
In all those years, Arabella had only discussed marriage with Harrison once over the phone. She couldn’t fathom how Isabella had uncovered that recording!
She bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle toward Isabella, her voice choked with emotion. “Thank you… Thank you, Ms. Montgomery. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here alive today. I’m so grateful! And…”
Arabella straightened up and turned toward the live stream camera. “I stayed silent from the beginning not because I had nothing to say, but because I was at a loss. I never dreamed the man I loved so deeply was married.
“Before this scandal broke, I was still planning to propose to him. I had an engagement ring custom-made and even bought us a house for our future…”
No.6
Her eyes reddened as she spoke. After a pause to collect herself, she continued, “I’m not seeking sympathy… I just want to warn other women not to make my mistake. Remember: if a man refuses to make your relationship public, he’s hiding something.
“Lastly, I want to sincerely apologize to Genevieve. Even though I was deceived too, I still caused harm to your family. The thought of you and your child fills me with guilt. I don’t have the courage to face you directly, so I’m saying this here: whatever you need, please reach out to me. I’ll do everything in my power to make amends.”
With that, Arabella bowed deeply to the camera again, her sincerity palpable.
She was a victim herself—vulnerable, with swollen, tear-filled eyes—yet she set aside her own pain to offer a genuine apology.
Her assistant, Penelope, watched with a heart full of anguish. “I’ve been Arabella’s manager and assistant for six years!” Penelope declared to the camera. “I swear on my life, Arabella had no idea about any of this! She didn’t know Harrison was married. In fact, no one in the industry knew he had a family.
“Harrison took massive amounts of money from her! He constantly claimed his businesses were struggling and swindled nearly a hundred million dollars from her!
“These companies are untraceable. He said they were startups operating under the radar. Looking back now, it’s all so suspicious!
“I’m calling on the power of the internet to help uncover what these companies are and what they were really used for!”
The viewers erupted in fury. Nearly a hundred million dollars? Not only did Harrison lie and cheat, but he also stole her money! That amount was staggering! Could that bastard Harrison really have taken it all?
Arabella's eyes were red and swollen, yet she managed to pull herself together. She straightened her posture. "Penelope, that's enough. Let's go."
She was more than satisfied with how things had unfolded. There was no reason to stay any longer. Reporters were swarming toward them, closing in fast. Penelope had no choice but to help Arabella make a quick exit.
They avoided all interviews. But articles about the incident exploded online almost instantly.
(Harrison Winslow Lied to the Entire World!)
(Arabella Was Cheated Out of Her Money and Body!)
(Harrison's Offshore Company Is a Sole Proprietorship, Involving Marital Fund Transfers!)
No.7
(Arabella Slashed Her Wrist and Refused Treatment to Avoid Accusations!)
The news spread like wildfire, shooting straight to the top of the headlines. The comment sections were flooded.
(Did Harrison Winslow deceive us all? Was Arabella actually wronged?)
(That gentle, cheerful food lover endured so much pain these past few days. And she didn't deserve any of it!)
(Her heart must be shattered. The man she loved deeply turned out to be married. He cheated on her for so long! She was even terrified of attempting suicide, afraid people would accuse her of faking it.)
(Harrison is a complete monster! Sources say his offshore companies were set up behind Genevieve's back. He must have been planning to divorce her. That's why he started moving the money!)
(That's fraud! It's illegal! He can be sued!)
(He stole a hundred million from Arabella! He belongs in jail!)
(Rumor has it Boss Isabella already filed a report. An investigation is underway!)
The public opinion shifted dramatically. The tables had turned completely.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital room...
Genevieve's eyes were red and swollen. She held her daughter tightly in her arms.
