top Ivan yelled. He was trembling, obviously very angry

It’s very simple Someone leaked Avery’s drafts for the game concept, and that too, to a rival company

Now, that rival company has registered and published the game first, making Avery’s efforts in the past

six months for naught.”

He continued, “After investigation, the company found that the email used to send the drafts to the rival

company belongs to Caroline.”

“How could it be me? Caroline was stunned. Then, she smiled and said, “Until now, I didn’t even know

what Avery’s job was, let alone what the rival company is ”

Avery bit her lips, a hint of distress appearing in her calm gaze

“I–I don’t know Anyway, the email the company found was yours. To tell you the truth, I don’t believe it

either. But the facts are right before me, so I must accept the truth.”

Caroline was genuinely impressed with Avery’s superb acting. The entertainment industry was

missing out on an actress like her.

“Okay, at the very least, even if I know which company you work for and who your competitors

are, how did I get your concept drafts, Ms. Mendeley?”

“I don’t know…” Avery burst out sobbing. “A–at any rate, this is what the company found out. I

really don’t know…”

She held her head, having a little meltdown.

“Let’s just go home, Mom. I don’t want to pursue this issue anymore. Even if my life is ruined, it

doesn’t matter. As long as Carrie and Kirk are happy, I–I’ll be content.”

Caroline grimaced, guessing that Avery probably staged all of this. This woman was ruthless.

She’d even given up her job to frame Caroline.

“No,” Caroline said. “We must get to the bottom of things. We can’t accuse the innocent, and we

can’t let the wrongdoers go free. Right, Dad?”

Ivan nodded. “That’s right. We need to investigate this thoroughly. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like

our families will be able to get along anymore.”

He turned to Kirk, asking, “What do you think, Kirk?”

Kurk leaned back with a mocking smile on his face. He said, ‘My wife is right.”

Ivan remained silent

Caroline tucked her hair behind her ears. She decided to go about it methodically and said, “All

right. Let’s call the police. All my things are at home. If I really did take your drafts, there will definitely

be some evidence.”

Kirk didn’t object to Caroline’s suggestion, and Ivan and Lia also agreed.

Avery was even more eager to get the police here. After feigning reluctance by pretending to object,

she agreed.

Soon after they got the call, the police arrived and searched Kirk’s apartment. Sure enough, they found

a USB drive in Caroline’s bag that had Avery’s concept drafts.

Lia shook with anger as she yelled, “Did you hear that, Ivan? She’s the one who did it!”

“Enough, Mom.” Avery wept uncontrollably, trembling all over. “Since the truth is out, we should

leave it at that. I don’t want to follow up on this anymore.”

“Don’t be so kind, Avery!” Lia barked, “You better explain yourself, Ivan! We’ve been friends for

years. How could you do this to Avery? There’s something wrong with your daughter–in–law’s

integrity!”

Ivan didn’t expect this to happen either. He looked at his son.

Kirk sat leisurely on the couch, his legs crossed. He looked like an outsider, as though this matter

didn’t concern him at all.

“Say something, Kirk,” Ivan urged.

Kirk shrugged, looking at Caroline. “I’m on my wife’s side.”

Hearing his words, Caroline smiled, feeling a warmth in her chest. Before anyone could speak, she

said calmly, “That USB drive isn’t mine.”

“I can’t believe you’re still denying it even now.” Lia couldn’t stand her anymore.

Lia said, “I shouldn’t be saying this as an outsider, but I can’t stay quiet anymore. Ivan, your

daughter–in–law is no good!

She continued, “It’s only been a few days, and our families are in a mess because of her. I don’t

even want to imagine what will happen if this continues! When one marries, they marry someone

for their good qualities. But I can’t find anything good about this
