course he wouldn't let a frail woman hit him.

But before he could lift his hand, his wrist was seized. When Oliver turned his head, he found himself face to face with Damien, who had followed him.

Oliver's anger flared up even more, and he wished he could kill Damien right there. "You're so protective of her! The two of you are indeed having an affair. I was tricked into saying those words earlier. The truth is, you've been coveting my fiancée, and the two of you are having an illicit affair. You have no shame!"

Damien hadn't expected that, even at this point, Oliver could still utter such words. He was so astounded that he almost burst into laughter. "Do think everyone is a fool?"

Oliver didn't care. he was determined to unfairly pin the blame on them.

"You dare to say you didn't touch her? I don't believe id You two must have"

Suddenly, another slap came.

The slap was hard this time, knocking Oliver completely off his feet. He fell to the ground, clutching his throbbing cheek. Dazed, he looked up at the woman who had hit him- Lydia.

"Drugging, scheming, framing, and throwing tantrums to defend yourself? Oliver, you've truly disappointed me," Lydia said. Although she didn't show any hysteria, her heart was already filled with deep wounds. She had long known that her son was a disappointment, but she never thought he had become so rotten to the core.

At that moment, Oliver's gaze toward Lydia had changed. He had initially harbored resentment toward her, but now, he was consumed by hatred.

Having seen the video and knowing what had transpired, his mother didn't think of helping him. Instead, she was here, ready to convict him, defending Damien. Normally, he could let it slide. But now, during this critical moment where it was a matter of life and death, if his mother were to side with him, he was sure the situation could be turned around!

Yet, the favoritism his own mother showed toward others was something that truly seeped deep into Oliver's bones, filling him with resentment. "Mom, why do you treat me this way?"

Lydia was unwilling to confront the resentful gaze of her biological son, stepping forward to take control of the situation.

"Apologies for today's spectacle, everyone. It's my fault for not raising my son properly, causing him to behave in such a manner. I'm here to formally announce the cancellation of Oliver and Deborah's engagement."
