Chapter 303 Shocking the Crowd
The livestream kept exploding.
“Wait, who could possibly threaten and force him?”
“This situation has completely lost me.”
“I thought we were waiting for the police report. I didn’t expect it to end so suddenly.”
“Holy, does this mean Asher Lawson might be exonerated?”
“The truth came way too fast.”

At the venue, some reporters were still in shock, frozen in disbelief. Others quickly gathered their thoughts and began questioning Thomas from the front.
“Since you went to such lengths to frame Asher Lawson, does that mean that the accusation made by the victim, Shawn Austin, was also orchestrated by you?”
This reporter was sharp. He had immediately picked up on a key point from Thomas‘ earlier confession and connected the dots with lightning speed.
If Thomas had tampered with the surveillance footage and tried to bribe Edgar, then it made no sense that he would leave the victim, Shawn, unchecked.
After all, if she turned on him, everything he had done would fall apart. That wouldn’t be acceptable.
And Shawn’s sudden change of testimony, her strong accusation against Asher, had always seemed a bit suspicious.
Back then, people just assumed that a victim wouldn’t lie about something so serious.
Even if there were doubts, no one dared to question her.
But now that Thomas had admitted his crimes, Shawn’s behavior began to look much more questionable.
The netizens on the livestream were immediately stirred up by the reporter’s question.
“No way. I don’t think Shawn would lie. She’s just a girl who got hurt.”
“If Shawn really did team up with Thomas, I might lose my mind.”
“Please let this not be true.”
“That question was brutal. Way too sharp.”
“I trust Shawn.”
“Your trust doesn’t mean much. After Thomas‘ confession, she’s definitely suspicious.”

“Maybe Shawn should hold a press conference, too.”
“Can’t believe how many people are involved in this mess.”
“Is this some massive twist? The victim is actually the villain?”

Thomas stopped when he heard the reporter’s question..
He lowered his gaze, hiding the look in his eyes, as if he was seriously weighing something.
I didn’t have a deep relationship with Shawn. We had just made a deal.
And now that I couldn’t protect myself, I had no obligation to protect her.
I might as well tell the whole truth and drag her down with me.
With that thought, Thomas moved his lips and spoke.
“I reached out to Shawn Austin. I gave her a sum of money to change her testimony and incriminate Asher Lawson. She agreed without hesitation. It was a partnership, really.”
He gave a bitter, mocking smile, his face devoid of emotion.
The whole room exploded.
What Thomas had just said was even more shocking than his earlier confession. It turned upside down everything people thought they knew.
The so–called victim was actually an accomplice?
The livestream chat went wild.
“This can’t be real?!”
“Shawn, how could you?”
“The victim just became a criminal.”
“All this for money? Really?”
“Money is more important than justice now, huh?”
“Throwing away your conscience for a paycheck…”
“There’s too much information in this press conference. My worldview is falling apart.”
“Shawn needs to go down too. I’m fuming.”
“Come out and apologize, Shawn!”
“Don’t jump to conclusions yet. This is just Thomas‘ side of the story. What if he’s lying?”
