After making her accusation, Aurora fixed her gaze on Joshua, searching for any sign of anger or guilt on his face.
But there was nothing.
Not even a flicker of surprise or shock.
"Oh," he said calmly. "So you were deliberately baiting me with your words just now."
Aurora's tone was icy. "You're wrong. Everything I said was heartfelt. I just happened to record our conversation as well. It's a trick I learned from you, actually. After all, everyone knows how much you love to make recordings."
She took out her phone.
"Hearing is one thing, but seeing is believing. I'll play the recording for everyone right now."
From the moment she had entered the Williams manor and seen Joshua, she had started recording. He was the one behind this; preserving the evidence was the logical thing to do.
Aurora's and Joshua's voices soon filled the room, emanating from the phone's speaker.
"It was you, wasn't it?"
"Yes, it was me."
The conference room was dead silent, save for the clear dialogue playing from the phone.
As the recording played, Aurora maintained a safe distance from Joshua, wary that he might try to snatch her phone and destroy the proof. But Joshua just stood there, perfectly still, showing no intention of moving toward her.
