Chapter 245 False Testimony
“Cherise.”
On stage, Damien suddenly called out her name.
She immediately looked up at him.
The man’s deep eyes stared at her. “Where’s the thing Susan asked you to bring along?”
Cherise was startled and remembered she had a bottle of makeup remover in her bag!
Did… Did he arrange this?
Did he know beforehand that Ian would use special effects makeup?
She immediately grabbed the makeup remover and sprinted to the stage.
At that moment, Ian was still arguing back and forth with Lennon.
Damien gave Cherise a meaningful glance.
The girl nodded and walked over. While lan wasn’t paying attention, she poured the entire bottle. of makeup remover over his face.
The makeup remover was special. Not only could it remove regular makeup products, but it could also remove oil paint used in special effects makeup!
In an instant, Ian’s face started running with makeup.
The purple and red pigments on his face began to smudge.
The attendant immediately came over to wipe it off for him.
As the shades were removed by the makeup remover, his fair and clean face was revealed.
Everyone offstage cried out in surprise.
The injuries on Damien’s face were created with makeup!
His face was clean and spotless. He didn’t look like he was beaten up to a pulp!
A reporter stood up angrily. “Ian Philips, did you deliberately put on special effects makeup to deceive us?”
Lucy put her arms around her chest and said coldly, “How would he gain pity if he didn’t use makeup?”
The reporters who had felt bad for lan had nasty expressions as though they had eaten something
awful.
Ian clearly realized that Cherise hadn’t splashed him with normal water!
He was unyielding and stubborn. “Even if my face doesn’t have bruises, everyone has seen the video where I was beaten up. That wasn’t fake!”
“Lennon had really assaulted me previously!”
After that, he turned and looked coldly at Lennon. “Don’t think you’re cleared of suspicion just because Old Mr. Belcourt gave a false testimony!”
“False testimony?”
At the side, Damien finally laughed.
He took out a USB flash drive and projected it.
As the man stood on stage, his actions were extraordinarily graceful. When he raised his hands, he looked like an employee explaining upcoming work assignments. He opened the files in the flash drive one by one.
“Old Mr. Belcourt was engrossed with raising cats for a while, so he installed surveillance monitors where the cats frequently roamed. He wanted to find out about the cats’ daily habits.”
“Fortunately, my people found records from sixteen days ago in the surveillance monitors.”
He played the videos. Footage of Lennon entering and leaving Old Mr. Belcourt’s house was seen.
“Of course, we also found the street traffic footage that day.”
As he spoke, he looked at Ian coldly with a palpable murderous demeanor. “Would you like to take a look, Mr. Philips?”
Damien played the footage.
The street traffic footage also showed Lennon had left the airport and went to Old Mr. Belcourt’s house that day. The next day, he went straight to the airport from Old Mr. Belcourt’s house.
Lenoir Manor, where Damien and Cherise lived, was in the other direction. Lennon didn’t head. there at all.
The truth was revealed.
Ian took one step back subconsciously.
He took a deep breath. “Just…. Just because Cherise’s child isn’t Lennon’s, it doesn’t change the fact that you harassed and beat me down!”
“You’re just a group of people who take advantage of your position to bully others!”
