Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild-Chapter 1684: The Truth Revealed
"What nonsense are you talking about? I... I don’t understand at all."
The middle-aged woman averted her gaze, and just as she was about to say something, Charlotte Thompson swiftly grabbed her wrist.
"How could a perfectly good piece of clothing suddenly catch fire? There’s no such thing as supernatural forces; every strange phenomenon has a rational explanation."
Charlotte stared calmly at the middle-aged woman’s ashen fingers. Her voice wasn’t loud, but each word was clear and understandable.
"Because you sprinkled phosphorus powder on the clothes, and after friction, the rising temperature caused the flames."
The middle-aged woman, who had originally wanted to struggle free from Charlotte’s grip, froze upon hearing her words.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What phosphorus powder?"
"But what you didn’t expect was that when your son touched you, he also got a bit of it on him. His running and pulling on my clothes just now created friction, which caused the sleeve to suddenly ignite."
Glancing at the little boy still sitting and crying loudly in place, Charlotte pursed her lips tightly.
After Charlotte finished speaking, the expression on the middle-aged woman’s face became unpredictable.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you trying to use this method to evade responsibility?"
"My camera captured it. The boy’s arm had a blue glow, which is the color that comes from phosphorus powder burning."
Finally, a reporter on the side spoke up at this time, and his words wouldn’t be doubted by anyone.
Because the footage that his camera had captured earlier was undeniable evidence.
"Anything else you want to say?" Charlotte questioned the middle-aged woman in front of her.
"You are lying! You’re all conspiring against me, trying to throw dirt on me, right? You’ve already made my daughter like that..."
But this time, Charlotte directly interrupted the middle-aged woman’s words.
"Whether I’m throwing dirt on you, we can verify it first."
With that, Charlotte turned her head to look at the few people standing behind her.
"Do you dare?"
In fact, when Charlotte first heard from Coco that the clothes suddenly caught fire for no reason, she was full of doubts.
Naturally, she thought of phosphorus powder.
Then, the series of actions by the middle-aged woman seemed odd, deepening Charlotte’s suspicions.
When Charlotte suddenly approached the middle-aged woman just now, it was for the clothes in her arms. She wanted to test the middle-aged woman but didn’t expect the accident to happen to her son.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, the middle-aged woman then noticed the few strangers who rushed over earlier. Seeing them holding various tools in their hands, the blood drained from her face.
And this was what Charlotte had asked Justin Battleson to do earlier.
At this moment, the expression on the middle-aged woman’s face already said it all, but she stubbornly retreated a few steps.
"Don’t think you can slander me with such words. You’re all in cahoots! You’ve bribed these reporters, haven’t you? You’ll get your comeuppance for this!"
"Comeuppance? I think that word suits you better! For the sake of money, you abandoned even your own daughter’s life! How can there be such a heartless mother in the world!"
Charlotte’s voice was forceful, instantly like a heavy hammer, leaving the middle-aged woman dazed.
