Chapter 80
“Edith, don’t make yourself sound so good. Your righteous words disgust me! I’m just asking you why Carlos is so good to you. He helped you out and even brought you to an event. He even stayed in the same room with you late at night. These are all facts and hard evidence. Do you think you can deny them with just a few words? Come here quickly, otherwise, I can’t guarantee when these photos will be spread out!” Vanessa said with an arrogant smile.
Even through the phone, Edith seemed to be able to imagine Vanessa’s smug expression.
Edith forced herself to calm down. If she messed around herself, wouldn’t she fall into Vanessa’s trap?
Edith narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “What on earth do you want?”
“Nothing special. I just want to talk to you. You don’t want these photos to be leaked out, do you? If Simon knows it, he will definitely not leave the matter at that. You have embarrassed the Lawson family so much. Do you think the Lawsons will let you go easily?”
“I’m innocent. Why don’t you let me go?”
“My silly cousin, even if it’s not true, will outsiders believe it? As long as I exaggerate it a little, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape. Do you think a high and mighty person like Carlos would spend so much effort to shut everyone’s mouths for you? Can you afford to gamble?
Vanessa’s words were like a bomb that exploded Edith’s heart.
Vanessa was right. Edith couldn’t afford to gamble at all.
Although Carlos treated her well, if it concerned his reputation, he might not protect an outsider.
Therefore, Edith had no one to rely on but herself. Even her closest relatives might make use of her, and the one who she had been in love with for many years might betray her. So if Carlos let her run her own course, she would not find it strange
at all.
It was human nature. Men’s hearts differ just as their faces do.

Edith held her phone so tightly as if she were about to crumble it. She wished so much that Vanessa was right in front of her so that she could make a scene and teach Vanessa a lesson.
However, at this moment, she could only passively be pinned down by Vanessa.
“What else do I have to talk to you about?”
“Of course, it’s about Johann! I want you to sign a contract in front of me that you will never appear with Johann again. I’ll give you half an hour. If you don’t come, the major media companies will see these photos. And you will be popular, Mrs.
Lawson!”
The last sentence was fall of sarcasm, which chilled Edith’s heart.
Vanessa hung up the phone. Edith sat on the chair dejectedly and was not in the mood to eat.
Her face was pale and her heart was full of bitterness, but she could not tell anyone else about it.
She had to deal with this matter herself. Others were all unreliable.
At this moment, Carlos‘ handsome face appeared in her mind, and she thought of his touching words last night.
“If you need my help in the future, just tell me.”
However, he had also said that he might not really agree.
If she begged him for help, how humble would she be?
This was the reason why Edith was unwilling to ask for help.
In the end, she gave up the thought of asking Carlos for help, because she was worried that she would be rejected. The moment of being rejected was heartbreaking.
She didn’t want to experience it.
She gritted her teeth, forced herself to cheer up, and went upstairs to change her clothes.
Meanwhile, seeing that, Susan secretly reported to Carlos.
Edith changed her clothes and went to the appointed place. Soon, she saw Vanessa, who was sitting in the corner and drinking coffee elegantly.
