?Chapter 1077:


    “That’s right! Where’s your evidence? If you cannot prove it, you should prepare to answer for defamation!”


    “To cause such a scene at the Norris and Gomez wedding—falsely using us—how daring of you!”


    Christina’s sneer cut through their bluster. “Daring? No, it is you who are brazen—attempting to drug a guest at the Norris and Gomez families’ wedding!”


    “Empty words,” Judd shot back, growing more confident, convinced she had nothing solid to use against them. “Are you raising a fuss simply because youck evidence?”<fn5718> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? Find[?]ovel</fn5718>


    Christina met their eyes, knowing full well they would never admit defeat without being cornered by irrefutable proof. She lifted her hand and pointed deliberately toward a security camera. Her voice rang out, crisp and unwavering. “Do you see that? Did you forget there are cameras here?”


    At once, Judd and his cronies turned pale. They had overlooked the cameras entirely. Until now, they had escaped unscathed by silencing victims with money or by relying on their influence. But this time was different—they had stumbled into the path of someone far more powerful. They had assumed Christina was merely a pretty face with no backing. What they hadn’t counted on was her closeness with Lauretta—a connection not to be trifled with. Had they known earlier, they would have chosen another prey.


    Still, Judd forced himself into a fa?ade of calm, gambling that the cameras had missed the scene—or better yet, weren’t working at all. “Then let’s check the surveince footage. We have nothing to conceal,” he dered, feigning confidence while cold sweat seeped down his back.


    His cronies exchanged uneasy nces, reluctant yet cornered. With no other path left, they could only echo his words.


    “We agree! We fear nothing. Once the surveince footage is checked, the truth will surface—and all will see who the liar is.”

    Seeing that Judd and his cronies still refused to confess, Christina turned toward Lauretta and said, “Could you please fetch the surveince footage for me?”


    “Sure. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure justice is served,” Lauretta replied, her voice steady with determination. She carried an unshakable faith in Christina’s character and stood firmly by her side without hesitation.


    “Appreciate it,” Christina murmured with a nod, watching as Lauretta turned and strode away.


    Judd and his cronies grew restless, their palms damp with sweat.


    As the silence stretched, whispers rippled among the guests.


    “Who’s lying here? Both sides look so sure of themselves.”


    “I think it’s that stunning woman. She’s probably fabricating things, using her ties with Lauretta to falsely use those poor men.”


    “Nah. Those men don’t give me a good feeling. I’ve got a sixth sense about these things, and it’s rarely wrong—people who unsettle me are never good news.”


    The guests voiced differing opinions, each sharing their own suspicions.


    Judd was so unnerved that his heart pounded erratically, his hands trembling. A sudden thought sparked, and he forced a mask of calm before saying, “Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.”
