Chapter 275

Knowing that he couldn’t avoid it. Carlson finally bit the bullet and answered the phone.

He could practically feel the Yeager family’s anger radiating through the phone.

Knowing he was in the wrong. Carlson could only withstand the reprimand until the person on the other end calmed down.

Carlson explained. “I was just talking to Hope about this. Someone is trying to frame her. She and that man have no relationship, the photos were manipulated using camera angles and Al. They’re trying to sabotage our collaboration.”

These words were partly true and partly false.

The head of the Yeager family was cunning, so of course he understood.

Someone must have arranged for the photos to be delivered to the Jones family at this specific time.

But Hope wasn’t as innocent as Carlson said.

The company’s technical staff reviewed the photos and confirmed none were Al–generated.

But it was unclear whether the photos were staged.

In short, it was a very disgraceful thing for the Yeager family.

Within their social group, infidelity before marriage had always been attributed to men. This was the first instance where a woman had experienced such a situation.

If the truth were to emerge, the marriage contract between the two families would be annulled regardless of the woman’s innocence.

Those gossipmongers and rivals wouldn’t hesitate to attack if they found any fault, ignoring the truth and swarming like flies at the slightest hint of trouble.

After all this preparation, the Yeager family couldn’t accept that something like this had happened.

The head of the Yeager family snapped, “You need to fix this. If those photos leak, the wedding is off?”

Though frustrated, Carlson hid his feelings and worked to reassure the Yeager family, promising to find a solution.

Furious after ending the call, Carlson kicked the table in front of him.

Who does he think he is?” he furned. “How dare he lecture mel

Still angry, Carlson turned to see Hope standing beside him, her face etched with displeasure. “This is all your fault!” he spat
