Chapter 87 Identity Revealed Leon's words left Bronte stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in Tiffany's eyes.
Tiffany stared at Leon's face, still processing his words. Could Leon have known the truth from five years ago? Amidst everyone's confusion, Leon played a video. In the video, it was Bronte meeting with this man she hired, but the distance was a bit far, so their conversation couldn't be heard. However, when Bronte left, she gave the man a sum of money.
The video ended there.
Bronte's face instantly turned pale as she stared at Leon in disbelief. So Leon had known about this all along! Or rather, Leon had deliberately deceived her, letting her take the bait. He had never intended to get engaged to her from the beginning! Bronte's legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
Leon looked at her coldly, his eyes no longer as casual as they usually were. "Everyone, as a member of the Cooper family, I apologize for the disturbance. We do not tolerate deceitful women, so today's engagement party is canceled." The moment Leon announced the cancellation of the engagement, Bronte was in despair, Tiffany was stunned, and the three children clapped their hands in joy. The guests erupted into a buzz of murmurs and whispers, the twist of the event a shock to everyone present.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, facing this chaos, Leon personally approached each guest with a composed grace, offering his apologies and politely asking them to leave. Then after the man hired by Bronte, whose confession had sealed her fate, was removed by the bodyguards, now only Leon, Tiffany, Bronte, Ronald, and the three children were left in the venue.
Bronte, still reeling from the public humiliation, struggled to her feet. Her eyes, brimming with bitterness, fixed on Leon. "Leon, did you know all along that I wasn't the person from that night?" "That's right," Leon answered calmly, without a trace of emotion.
Bronte let out a bitter laugh, a hollow sound that echoed in the empty room. She felt the sting of her folly keenly. So she was the fool all along.
Bronte thought that Leon wanted to get engaged to her because he was sure of her identity and wouldn't have any doubts. So she called all her friends to witness her moment of glory. But she never expected those were all her delusions, Leon never intended to get engaged.
She had lost all face, and no matter where she went in the future, she would be pointed at and talked about. Leon actually wanted to use this method to torment her, to get revenge on her! "Leon! You're too cruel!" Bronte shouted at him, tears welling up in her eyes. "Bronte, you deceivedfirst. I'm just using your own methods against you." Now, Bronte was physically and mentally exhausted, her heart dead. She looked at Tiffany with resentment in her eyes.
Tiffany truly felt innocent, she hadn't done anything. But Bronte coldly questioned her, "Tiffany, did you want to seemake a fool of myself? You said you wouldn't tell Leon the truth! You said you didn't like him! You didn't care about our engagement! Then why did you tell him you were the one from that night? Why did you have to expose everything?"

Bronte's words made Leon's expression darken. Tiffany was the woman from five years ago? How could it be her? Tiffany had been denying it all along.
The thought that she had lied to such an extent-claiming the three kids were the result of shypnotic trick- rather than admit she was the one Leon had been searching for all these years, was almost incomprehensible. How desperate had she been to avoid him? At this moment, Tiffany's expression didn't look good either. She was sure that she had never told Leon that she was the one he was looking for. She had thought she could keep it hidden forever, but Bronte's unexpected revelation had shattered that illusion. Panicked, she just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Yet, as she tried to leave, Leon grabbed her arm, his grip firm and unrelenting.
"Tiffany, you really are a liar! Even now, you still won't tellthe truth? Do you want to tellthat everything is an illusion?" Leon spoke quickly, constantly approaching Tiffany, completely forgetting that Ronald and the three children were still there. Ronald saw what was coming. Quickly, he stepped in to shield the three children from the unfolding . But curiosity had already piqued their interest. They peeked out from behind Ronald, their eyes wide and full of questions.
To know if Tiffany was the one from five years ago, all it took was a word from her. But Tiffany was now troubled. She had lied to Leon, saying that she had hypnotized him into forced sex to hide the truth. Now that the lie was exposed, Tiffany felt embarrassed.
Tiffany took a deep breath. With several pairs of eyes on her and Bronte's piercing gaze adding to her discomfort, she knew there was no turning back. "Leon," she began, trying to steady her voice, "I think we need to sit down and talk. This atmosphere isn't right."

Leon growled, tightening his grip on Tiffany's wrist.
Tiffany sighed softly. Since it had cto this, there was nothing to worry about. Tiffany knew that even if she didn't say it now, Leon would eventually find out.
"It was me, I was the one from five years ago," Tiffany confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So you lied about hypnotizingand everything that followed," Leon stated, more than asked, confirmation of his worst suspicions.
"Yes, I lied to you. I just didn't want to admit what happened five years ago," Tiffany admitted, her shoulders slumping under the weight of the truth finally spoken.
Leon released her wrist, a mixture of pain and relief crossing his face. The admission brought nojgy, enty am hallow sense of resolution-For years, he had obsessed over finding the mysterious woman, even divorcing his ex, only to discover the woman had been Tiffany all along. And Bronte finally understood the matter. So Tiffany hadn't confessed to Leon! It was she who had exposed the incident from five years ago.
Leon regained his composure, quietly looking at Tiffany, and asked again, "Why didn't you say it back then?"
"Five years ago, I thought you knew. After that night, grandma had an accident. You didn't mention it, and I felt it was inappropriate to bring it up at that time. But when I wanted to tell you, you gavea divorce agreement. My words were stuck in my throat, and I guessed that you probably didn't want to know that I was the one from that night."
As Tiffany finally laid bare the truth, a heavy silence settled over the room. The three children, more perceptive than their age suggested, began to piece together the reality of their origins. They realized that the night five years ago, the night that had always been shrouded in mystery and half-truths, was the night their mother, Tiffany, had gotten pregnant. But Leon thought it was another woman, developing a special feeling for that vague illusion, which led to his decision to divorce Tiffany. This misunderstanding lasted for five years.
