LittleNovelChapter 622: One of the officers stepped forward and began to list their offenses. He concluded, "Your crimes have accumulated to an extent far beyond repair. All assets belonging to the Evans family will be seized. Your best option now is a life behind bars. But, of course, it's not entirely hopeless. You may contact Khloe Evans, the one who filed these charges. Should she choose to withdraw her accusations, at least you'll have a chance at a lighter sentence." When Joshua and Lorraine learned it was all Khloe's doing, they burst into a furious tirade. However, the police didn't give them much time. To reduce their sentence, even by a few years, they had no choice but to call Khloe.
At that moment, Khloe was at the venue of the Top Awards ceremony.

"Khloe, are you out of your mind? How dare you accuse us of so many crimes! Do you even know it's a crto slander others?" As soon as the call was connected, Joshua launched into a tirade, unaware that his every word and reaction were being broadcast to a big screen at the awards ceremony, attracting the audience's attention.
Khloe raised her eyes in a detached way. Her gaze seemed unfocused. She said coldly and emotionlessly, "Oh, so you also know that slandering is a crime." On the big screen, Joshua faltered and seemed to remember something unpleasant. For a moment, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Since you think I am slandering you with those charges, it's simple. Prove that you are being slandered. Then, everything will be fine," Khloe added.
Joshua's face flushed with rage as he realized the enormity of his blunder. His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ground against each other.

Joshua was anxious when he heard this. He did not dare to provoke Khloe anymore. Instead, he said in a soft tone, "Khloe, no matter what, we're still family. If the Evans family's reputation is tarnished, it won't have a good impact on you." Lorraine had been listening and heard everything clearly. Although she hated Khloe for being cold and heartless, she knew the situation well. So, she also tried to play the family card.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's right, Khloe. I am just your stepmother, but Joshua is your father. He is related to you by blood. If you treat him like this, aren't you afraid everyone will point their fingers at you and call you cold-blooded, heartless, and inhuman?" Khloe's eyelids drooped, and a hint of mockery appeared on her face.
"I was cast out from the Evans family long ago. I am no longer an Evans. Also, my patience is limited." She did not answer Joshua's call just to listen to their emotional blackmailing.
Joshua's and Lorraine's expressions changed. Joshua asked through clenched teeth, "Then what will it take for you to drop the charges? Do you know that what you're doing is killing us?"
The corners of Khloe's lips curved slightly. Her icy gaze swept over Sloane, who was restrained and unable to make a sound. Her expression turned sharp. "Droß thè charges? Why should I? You know very well that those charges are true. Of course, you can argue that those are all false and that I fabricated them. Go ahead, no one's stopping you. However, you also know that I always dislike people who lie. If I'm not happy, I won't drop the charges. I will hold on to your crimes and make sure you get a heavier sentence."
The audience watching the big screen saw Joshua and Lorraine exchange panicked glances, their expressions betraying their struggle to maintain composure. They sure knew Khloe's unrestrained temperament. So, they quickly made a decision.
"Khloe, we admit we did those things. We don't deserve forgiveness. But I didn't want to do it,” Joshua said, his е voice low and heavy with guilt. “We were forded. Even if we didn't do those things, others wouldn't let you off either. You were doomed to end up that way, anyway. So, it's better for the Evans family to play the villain. In that way, at least you have contributed to us." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
