Hadley replied, “You’re overthinking it. I’m not trying to sow discord. I just want to let you see the truth.”

Hannah added, “It isn’t the first day we’ve known Zeke. We know he’s someone trustable.”

“Lacey, Zeke, let’s leave. There’s no point for us to keep wasting our breath.”

Lacey nodded.

Abruptly, Nancy said, “Lacey, there must be a reason for her to say this. Why don’t we listen to what she has to say?”

“Do you have any evidence of Zeke being intimate with other women behind Lacey’s back?”

Hadley waved the phone in her hand. “It’s in here. See for yourself.”

Nancy took her phone.

It was a surveillance video. Quickly, Nancy played the video.

With a mere glance, Lacey recognized the location of the video; it was a small food stall at Heartland Hospital West Street.

In the video, Summer was chatting with Zeke, and everything seemed fine.

Suddenly, Summer hugged Zeke’s arms intimately.


That was where the video stopped.

Although it was short, and there was no sound, Summer and Zeke’s intimate actions were enough to prove that something was amiss.

Zeke glared at Hadley. She had intentionally trimmed this part of the video to mislead Lacey.

He hurriedly explained, “Lacey, listen to me. It’s not what it looks like. Hadley is deliberately misleading you...”

Lacey raised her head, and her eyes were red.

She was afraid.

She was fearful that Zeke had betrayed her.

To her, Zeke was her entire world.

If he really betrayed her, she would die from a broken heart.

However, the video was not enough to prove that he really got involved with another woman behind her back. There was still a small flame of hope in her heart.

With a trembling voice, she asked, “Zeke, e-explain to me. What’s going on?”

Zeke was about to explain when Hadley interrupted, “Ha. You can’t accept reality yet? Keep watching. There’s another video after this. I’m sure the second video will make you truly disappointed.”

Nancy gritted her teeth as she slid her finger and played the next video.

It was a recording from a phone; the image was clearer, and there were sounds this time.

In the video, there was someone else other than Zeke and Summer—Summer’s mother, Ruby.

Ruby was holding Zeke’s hands with a loving look.

It was a look that a mother-in-law would give to her son-in-law.

Ruby said enthusiastically, “Zeke, are you free today? Come to my house to familiarize yourself there. Also, we should swiftly decide on a date for your wedding with Summer. Let’s not delay it any longer in case anything happens.”

Humph!

Lacey’s mind exploded.
