Translator: 549690339

Ye Xingguang hung up the phone and once again handed the photo in his phone’s frame to Xia Ye Zhao.

Knowing full well that her brother does not recognize her, standing in front of her brother, she can’t help but feel somewhat dependent on him, even harbouring illusions, hoping that her brother could protect her like he did when they were young…

No one chooses to be strong, just like no one is born immune to all harms. Most strong girls are simply left with no one to rely on, forcing themselves to cast off their weakness. At least, she is not inherently a dominant woman; deep down, she desires to be protected.

Xia Ye Zhao looked at the photo and noticed her hugging a stranger, causing him to frown.

The photo could be interpreted in many ways. If Ye Jun Qing chose to investigate, she might be in big trouble.

After all, even Xia Ye Zhao was well aware that Ye Jun Qing has only accepted her due to compelling circumstances. If Ye Jun Qing took this opportunity to come down on her, her end would be miserable.

Xia Ye Zhao felt some compassion for her and comforted her, “Miss Ye, don’t panic, I’ll figure this out.”

“Yeah.” Her brother’s words warmed her heart in an instant.

Xia Ye Zhao stood by the pool with his hands held behind his back, solemnly asking Xia Yanyan, “Yanyan, did you really take this photo?”

Xia Yanyan immediately denied, putting on a heartbroken expression: “Of course not! Brother, would you rather believe a stranger than your own little sister? When would I have the time to take a photo of her? With her impulsive nature, could she have offended someone else without realising it?”

Without proof, there was no need for her to admit anything. That would simply be foolish.

But Miss Ye wouldn’t run over and accuse her sister without reason. Xia Ye Zhao asked again, “I’m asking you one more time, are you certain that you have nothing to do with this? If you confess now, I’ll apologize on your behalf. If you don’t repent, I won’t be lenient.”

In the Xia household, including Xia Wealth, no one would dare to cross Xia Ye Zhao. Xia Yanyan feels a bit guilty but is keen to maintain her positive image in front of her brother. Instantly she turned teary-eyed and remained silent.

Yet her demeanor was as though she was wrongly accused, that made Xia Ye Zhao feel sympathetic.

He pondered, “Miss Ye, there may be a misunderstanding here. I trust my sister’s character. She might be a bit spoiled, but she’s not malicious. I’ll help you investigate the source of this photo.”

Ye Xingguang suppressed her anger and looked at Xia Yanyan with contempt, “No need, I’m very certain that it was her. I checked the surveillance footage, and they’ve been erased. Xia Yanyan went to the surveillance room and found the staff there. She must be the one who had them erased.”

Xia Yanyan, wiping her tears, said, “Brother, look at what she’s saying. Could I really just get someone to delete the surveillance footage of the President’s residence? I went to the surveillance room because I lost my earring, and I hoped that the security personnel could help me find it through the footage. You can ask them if you don’t believe me.”

She had anticipated that she would be questioned and fabricated her alibi accordingly. Xia Yanyan smiled an audacious smile; she wasn’t scared of being investigated.

Without evidence, naturally, Xia Ye Zhao did not want to wrongfully accuse his own sister, “Miss Ye, why don’t you go back and check again thoroughly? This probably has nothing to do with Yanyan. Or do you want me to send someone to help you investigate?”

“No need, it’s her, I’m absolutely certain!”

Xia Ye Zhao frowned immediately. Ye Xingguang was stubbornly insisting that it was his sister despite having no evidence, which seemed rather unreasonable. His face darkened instantly, “Miss Ye, without evidence, for you to so adamantly accuse my sister. This is something I cannot tolerate.”
