Illicit Affair

The moment those words were spoken, everyone wore a different expression.

Bride's mother was the first to step forward. "What are you saying, child?"

The bridesmaid frowned as well. "What do you mean?"

The groom's sister sneered. "Heh, what else could I mean? Why did my brother argue with my sister-in-law yesterday? Wasn't it because she found another man outside?"

The groom frowned. "Stop it!"

The groom's sister stomped her foot, furious at his failure to see sense. "Brother, my sister-in-law already has someone else outside. How could I not keep an eye on her for you next door?"

The groom's sister grew even more indignant. "Brother, you're still defending her? I don't care. I'm staying in this room!"

"You're about to get married. If I don't watch her, who knows what else my sister-in-law might do?"

Hearing this, Bride's mother was so angry that she nearly lost her balance. The best man hurriedly supported her.

Bride's father, meanwhile, shot Bride a vicious glare.

Bride finally could not endure it any longer and retorted, "I never did anything to betray your brother!"

"I saw another man messaging you yesterday. What else is there to say?" The groom's sister refused to let it go. "Ask my brother. He saw it too."

Everyone looked at the groom.

The groom remained silent and said nothing.

Bride grew irritated. "Are you even a man? What are you hesitating for at a time like this? I told you I didn't cheat on you. If you doubt me, go ask the person who sent those messages!"

At that, the groom's gaze paused on the best man for a moment before finally shifting away.

The scene was too chaotic. She did not know whether anyone else had noticed that look, but Yin Ge had.

Combined with what Bride had said, a bold guess emerged in Yin Ge's mind.

Could the person messaging Bride have been the best man?

But if that were true, the best man was acting far too relaxed.

And if the groom knew about it, what reason would he have not to demand an explanation from the best man?

"Sister-in-law, how can you still have the nerve to blame my brother?" The groom's sister spoke again, interrupting Yin Ge's thoughts.

The groom remained silent.

Bride could not help arguing with the sister again. "I didn't betray your brother. It was clearly your brother who betrayed me. Do you really want me to spell it out?"

Those words struck like thunder from a clear sky, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

The groom's expression changed from hesitation to confusion and anger. "What did you say? When did I ever betray you?"

"That's right! How could my brother possibly betray you?" the groom's sister demanded.

The bridesmaid's mouth fell slightly open, clearly shocked.

Slap!

Bride suddenly stepped forward and slapped the bridesmaid across the face.

The bridesmaid covered one side of her face, momentarily unsure how to react. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Everyone scrambled to restrain Bride.

"Stop playing dumb!" Bride snapped aggressively. "Why are you holding me back? I'm hitting the woman who seduced my husband!"

The bridesmaid really was involved with the groom!

Yin Ge's heart sank to the bottom.

The moment Bride said that, suspicion against her rose sharply.

Killing Bride to steal the groom seemed like a sufficient motive.

If the others followed that line of thought, they would definitely see her as the Killer!

What should she do? What could she do?

Before Yin Ge could come up with a solution, the bridesmaid retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did I seduce him?"

The groom also looked utterly baffled. "Have you lost your mind?"

"I've lost my mind?" Bride sounded as though she had heard a joke, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "You wish I really had, so you could be with that bitch, don't you?"

The bridesmaid was both hurt and angry. "I'm your best friend. How could I betray you? I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Bride shook off the people holding her and pulled out a phone, facing it toward the bridesmaid. "Then tell me, what is this?"

Thanks to her earlier observations, Yin Ge recognized at once that the phone in the Bride's hand belonged to the groom!

And looking at the chat history on it...

The bridesmaid really had been confessing her love to the groom, every word intimate and familiar.

The messages had been sent this morning.

But this time... Yin Ge's mind raced.

"This... this is impossible. I never sent those messages!" The bridesmaid's face was full of disbelief.

The groom touched his pocket and immediately demanded, "Why is my phone with you?"

After seeing what was on the phone, the Bride's mother began crying and beating the groom. "How could you treat my daughter like this? Do you have any conscience!?"

Seeing her brother being hit, the groom's sister immediately rushed over and started fighting too.

The best man stepped forward to break them apart, while the Bride's father stood to one side with a livid face.

The child had never seen such a scene before and burst into loud sobs.

The scene was exceptionally chaotic, but Yin Ge's thoughts were perfectly clear.

She had just thought it over. The bridesmaid had never sent those messages to the groom at all.

That meant someone had framed the bridesmaid!

At the same time, the bridesmaid took out her own phone and showed it to everyone. "There's no record of me sending any messages at all! Stop fighting and see for yourselves!"

But the Bride did not believe her at all. "You can send messages, so of course you can delete the chat history too! Tell me, how can you be so shameless as to steal my man?"

"I didn't! I really didn't!" The bridesmaid did not know how to explain herself and could only keep holding up her phone.

Just as the situation was becoming impossible to control, the lights abruptly went out, and even the sunlight vanished in an instant.

But the lights came back on quickly.

It was six in the afternoon.

Yin Ge's chest rose and fell rapidly, the lingering aftermath of the bridesmaid's agitation.

The people who had just been grappling with one another all stopped and stared at Yin Ge in unison, their eyes filled with wariness.

Yin Ge immediately looked at the phone, but its screen had already gone black.

She raised her eyes and looked at the others, discovering that the Bride's father, mother, and the groom's sister were all glaring at her like tigers watching prey.

The best man's brows were tightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The child wiped away tears, walked over to Yin Ge, and softly called, "Big sister."

"Why are you still calling her that? She had an affair with the groom. She must have killed the Bride because she couldn't have him! She's the Killer!" The Bride's mother was the first to speak.

The child shook their head and tugged at Yin Ge's clothes. "Big sister isn't the Killer."

Yin Ge glanced at the child, then nodded. "That's right. I'm not the Killer."

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" The groom's sister pursed her lips. "You were all fighting."

Yin Ge looked at the groom's sister and smiled. "You actually dare to speak now? Weren't you just going with the flow and pretending to be invisible? Why are you suddenly so worked up?"

"Let me guess. Other than me, you were the only one who had a conflict with the Bride. Are you afraid everyone will turn their attention on you?"

As though her thoughts had been exposed, the groom's sister's eyes darted away, and her voice suddenly rose. "Y-you stop making excuses! You're the Killer!"

"That's right!" the Bride's mother echoed. "Compared to stealing a man, what does an argument over a room even count for? She wouldn't kill someone over a room, would she?"

The moment she finished speaking, Yin Ge quickly said, "Why not? She always believed the Bride had betrayed the groom, so she killed the Bride to vent the groom's anger. Isn't that a motive?"

"Th-this..." The Bride's mother was left speechless.

Yin Ge spoke again. "The bridesmaid never sent any messages to the groom. Someone framed her."

"The clues related to this incident point to me and the groom's sister. There's nothing to dispute about that, right?" She looked at the best man.

The best man nodded. "The facts are right in front of us. There's indeed nothing to dispute. Only the two of you are suspicious."

His answer was exactly what Yin Ge had expected.

Yin Ge spoke confidently. "Then let's talk about the Godhead."

"Before accusing me, you need to accuse him first."

She quickly raised her hand and pointed at someone.
