Chapter 482 Innocence

• Regardless of the actual fact, Beth's statements immediately portrayed herself as the victim. For the time being, Esmond bore all the responsibility.Upon hearing this, Halle was the first to react angrily, "Beth, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that you didn't want to do it, but Esmond forced you?"
• Halle turned to Kate and added sharply, "Mrs. Bray, you should know better. Everyone in Aquapolis knows how devoted our Esmond has been to your Beth for years. If he really wanted to do something to her, why would he wait until now?"
• Esmond, regaining his composure, looked hurt despite his deep affection for Beth.
