    Chapter 139 A Person Pretending to Sleep Was Impossible to Awaken


    Upon seeing Idris, Moore’s pitiful act intensified. Her tears fell freely as she spoke in a broken voice, I


    understand that Mom is upset for Yvette and wants to take it out on someone, but Iddy, I truly never


    thought of hurting Yvette. You know, if it weren’t for my caring about Yvette more than anyone else, I


    wouldn’t have left you three years ago, nor would I have stood by and watched you marry Yvette. 1


    never wanted to ruin your rtionship with her. It’s just that I was desperate and had no choice but to


    ask for your help, Iddy.”


    Her words, both overtly and subtly, seemed to imply that she had given Idris up for me.


    was not foolish; I caught the insinuation


    Now that we had reached this stage, she still maintained her act, which was beyond my expectations. I


    had thought that once Alex was caught and personally identified her, she could not possibly have the


    audacity to deny it.


    It seemed I underestimated her. She persisted in her denial, insisting she was framed. The police had


    no evidence, and they could not do much solely based on Alex’s testimony.


    Idris did not speak except to turn to me and say, “She’s pregnant


    His seemingly random remark was cryptic, yet I understood what he meant. Idris was warning me not


    to be too harsh with a pregnant woman.


    Initially, I did not want to say too much in front of so many people to avoid public spectacle, but hearing


    Idris’s words, something in me felt ufortably constricted.


    I could not help but scoff. “The ancients truly didn’t lie when they said love is blind, something you


    exemplify perfectly, Mr. Young.” I did not finish my words, only giving Idris a scornful look.


    Then, turning to Moore, I said, “Your shamelessness exceeds my expectations, Moore. I thought that


    once Alex was caught and he personally implicated you, you wouldn’t have the audacity to deny it. But


    I really underestimated you. Indeed, you can deny everything, and the police can’t do anything to you.


    But do you really think everyone else is as foolish as you, unable to think for themselves when faced


    with a problem?”


    Moore’s eyes were red with tears, still maintaining her pretentious demeanor. “Yvette, I really didn’t do


    what you’re using me of back then. I don’t know why Alex would frame me like this. He’s trying to


    drive a wedge between us sisters.”


    I scoffed coldly and said lightly, “You im Alex framed you. Then let me ask you, how would a


    desperate criminal like Alex even know you? Why would he falsely use you instead of someone


    else? He specifically insists that it was you. When he abducted me, I never revealed any information


    about my family to him. How did he know you’re my sister? During the police interrogation, how could


    he confidently assert that you were the one who instructed him to lure me? Does he possess some sort


    of divination skills to deduce that I have a sister? You say he’s spouting nonsense, but howe his


    nonsense perfectly fits your description?”

    The police gave me a so–called resolution with the phrase ‘insufficient evidence to convict“, but the


    underlying reasons were not hard to figure out.


    I did not specte about the role Idris yed in all this, but it was clear that some in the police


    department were considerate of him.


    Even if Moore were convicted, given her current pregnant state, the execution of her sentence would


    likely be dyed


    I had been silent, but I was well aware of all these intricacies. However, Moore’s shamelessness and


    pretense finally pushed me to voice everything out loud.


    Moore turned pale, her hands tightly clenching as she tried to find words to defend herself.


    Idris slightly furrowed his brows but remained silent


    Officer Jackson stood by, seemingly unsure of what to say


    Having said what I wanted, I helped my mother and left the police station.


    People gradually lose faith bit by bit. I did not know when it started, but the image of Idris in my heart


    had gradually lost the stature it once had.


    I used to think he was responsible, understood right from wrong, was decisive in his actions, was


    swift and effective, and so smart and brave.


    However, Moore’s appearance made me begin to see things less clearly. I did not believe he could not


    discern the truth or falsity of Alex’s usations against Moore, nor did I believe he could not see


    through Moore’s act


    Nheless, a person pretending to be asleep was impossible for me to awaken
