Their dialogue was crystal clear.
It was obvious Sophia had lost control, "rewarding" Jacob over and over.
She even repeatedly said, "It's fine, Liam will never find out."
The reporters were stunned.
They never expected the Greenes to end up providing the very evidence that exposed them — they had truly lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
The live stream comments fell silent at first, then exploded with a flood of insults.
"This woman is disgusting! She cheated with her butler first, and now she's trying to pin it on him?"
"She lost everything and has no way to get it back, so she came up with this scheme. How pathetic."
"Like father, like daughter. They're both trash!"
This time, Sophia and Robert became the targets of vicious attacks.
Their faces turned pale, cold sweat pouring down their bodies. It never occurred to them that I had recorded everything.
"That night, you texted me to come home and talk things out. And this is what I walked in on."
"You really know how to have a good time, don't you?" I said, pulling out my phone and showing them the chat history.
Sophia's pupils dilated in shock.
She had no memory of sending that message to Liam. Then it hit her — Jacob had taken her phone and sent it himself.
He deliberately lured Liam home to catch them in the act.
All to completely replace Liam.
In that moment, she wished she could tear Jacob to pieces.
"Mr. Murphy."
"For old times' sake, please help us. We're begging you," Robert said, seeing the situation was hopeless.
He dropped to his knees and began slapping himself wildly.
"We were fools, completely foolish!"
"We'll never do it again!" he cried, snot and tears streaming down his face.
Sophia also knelt, kowtowing desperately. "Liam, I know I was wrong!"
"It was all Jacob taking advantage of me! I'll deal with him, I promise! Please give me a chance to make things right!"
"I'll be the perfect wife you always wanted — I'll make you happy!"
She abandoned all dignity, kowtowing until her forehead bled, then even used her hands to wipe my shoes.
She was trying everything to please me.
But all I felt was disgust. I called out to security, "Get them out of here. I don't need their bad luck rubbing off on me."
"Please, Liam! Don't do this! Help us! We really know we were wrong! We'll do anything — even be your slaves!" Sophia and Robert screamed in despair.
But it was no use.
Security dragged them out of the company like they were hauling livestock to slaughter.
At the same time, the Greene family's reputation was completely ruined.
The next morning, news broke that Robert had jumped to his death.
Sophia was arrested and thrown in prison.
According to police reports, after Sophia returned home that night, she grew angrier the more she looked at Jacob.
They got into a violent argument.
In the end, Sophia fired thirteen shots at Jacob. He was dead before the ambulance even arrived.
I wasn't surprised by this outcome.
After all, it's easy to adapt to luxury but hard to go back to simplicity. Sophia was emotionally unstable — she was bound to take her frustration out on Jacob.
Before Sophia's execution, she repeatedly asked to see me.
I ignored her completely. Instead, I returned to Manhattan and married Bella, embarking on a brighter future together!
