Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Bo Jingyan’s Ruthlessness_1 Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Bo Jingyan’s Ruthlessness_1 Jian Xuan, upon hearing the order, dragged Chen Momo before she could react to the edge of the swimming pool. He held one of her arms tightly while his other hand pushed her head into the pool water.

“Bo…Ugh…” Chen Momo tried to speak, but the swimming pool’s water surged into her nostrils and mouth, invading her lungs and bringing a scorching pain.

As time passed, the oxygen in her lungs was slowly depleted, her consciousness became fuzzier, and a strong sense of terror and unsettlement surged within her. Was she going to die here?

No!

No way!

She hadn’t won over the young master of the Bo Family yet, hadn’t married into the Bo Family, hadn’t become Mrs. Bo!

She couldn’t die!!!

Thinking this way, Chen Momo’s survival instincts went into overdrive. She resisted the torment of the suffocating pain, refusing to faint, but as time slowly siphoned off her endurance, Bo Jingyan finally said mercifully, “Enough.”

Chen Momo’s head was finally pulled out of the pool. She started coughing violently, with tears and snot gushing out as she appeared utterly disheveled.

She didn’t care about any of this. All she felt was a profound sense of relief for having escaped death.

She was so glad that she was still alive.

But before she could catch her breath, Bo Jingyan looked at her expressionlessly again and asked coldly, “I’ll ask you again— was it really you that night?”

Chen Momo felt an invisible hand gripping her heart as she recalled the feeling of being unable to escape earlier when she was pressed into the water. It brought waves of suffocation and fear.

Why would Bo Jingyan ask this?

Had he found out something?

Otherwise, why would he have done that to her earlier?

But she had already crossed the point of no return.

Moreover, she still harbored hope that Bo Jingyan had not figured it out and was just testing her.

Therefore, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she could not confess and seek her own death.

With that in mind, Chen Momo suppressed her fear. “Of—of course it was me!”

“I hate being lied to the most. I’ve just given you a chance, but it seems that you didn’t cherish it.” Bo Jingyan’s gaze was cold and ruthless as if he were looking at a corpse.

Chen Momo felt a growing sense of disquiet. “Bo, Bo Jingyan, I… I don’t understand what you mean…”

Seeing her play dumb, Bo Jingyan got tired of wasting words. He picked up a file next to him and threw it at her. “Read it yourself!”

The file hit Chen Momo heavily. The sharp A4 paper scarred her face, leaving a streak of blood.

But she didn’t care, she forced herself to read the document that Bo Jingyan had thrown.

Upon seeing the contents of the file, her face went deathly pale, and she trembled violently. It was evidence of where she was on the night at the Imperial Hotel!

The file unequivocally proved that she was nowhere near the Imperial Hotel that evening, but eating dinner with a colleague before going home by taxi.That meant she absolutely could not have been the woman from that night at the Imperial Hotel!!!

Bo Jingyan knew the truth, and the evidence was irrefutable.

Realizing this, Chen Momo went pale.All she could think of was, what would Bo Jingyan do to her now?

Her mind flashed back to being suffocated by Jian Xuan in the pool, that suffocating sensation of desperation.

No!

She was not going to endure such agony again. She must clear her involvement in this matter completely.

With this in mind, Chen Momo ignored the pain in her knees, hastily crawled over to Bo Jingyan, and hugged his legs. “Bo Jingyan, I didn’t mean to deceive you. I did it because I had no other choice.”

“I really do love you. From the moment I first saw you at Qingtian’s house, I fell for you. Later, in the bar, when I was harassed, it was you who saved me.”

“Then, I truly believed you were my savior. I fell hopelessly in love with you. I couldn’t believe you were Qingtian’s husband. During that time, I was in deep agony.”

“Qingtian is my best friend. I didn’t want to betray her. I wanted to bury my love for you deep within myself and bless you two, but then I discovered Qingtian didn’t deserve you. Just at that moment, you approached me, so I impulsively lied.”

“I thought about confessing to you, but Shen Yaxuan stepped in like a devil, telling me that you hated being lied to and wouldn’t forgive me if I confessed. He constantly threatened me, making it impossible for me to tell you the truth!”

“It was Shen Yaxuan who forced me!!!”

By the end of it, she was in tears, looking pitiful.

However, Bo Jingyan was unmoved. He roughly kicked Chen Momo away, asking her icily.

“Since you’re not the woman from that night, how would you know so much detail? How would you know about the eagle tattoo on my body? Did Xia Qingtian tell you?”

Chen Momo almost coughs up blood from the kick.

She instinctually wants to nod but quickly realizes.

No, she mustn’t tell the truth.

Since she wasn’t the woman from that night and didn’t know the details, how could Xia Qingtian have known?

If she confessed that Xia Qingtian told her, she would be implicitly telling Bo Jingyan that the woman that night wasn’t her, but Xia Qingtian!!!

Then Bo Jingyan would know that the child in Xia Qingtian’s belly was his.

In the twinkling of an eye, Chen Momo had figured everything out.

“No, it wasn’t Qingtian who told me, it was Shen Yaxuan. Everything I said was dictated by him.”

Chen Momo smoothly deflected all the blame onto Shen Yaxuan. “I thought about confessing to you, but Shen Yaxuan kept scaring me into silence. I really had no choice.”

Bo Jingyan was not interested in whether she had remorse or if she had ever thought of confessing.

He walked over to Chen Momo and pressed his hand coldly and ruthlessly against her throat.

“Chen Momo, I’ve already checked everything. I made Jian Xuan bring you here to give you a chance. If it wasn’t for the fact that you had once saved my grandfather, I would have had your limbs broken and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.”

“I’ll give you one last chance to confess. Was Xia Qingtian the woman that night?”

With each implacable question, his grip on her throat tightened.

Chen Momo felt suffocated as if she would be choked to death at any moment.

He had already had everything thoroughly investigated? Like how she was not the woman from the Imperial Hotel that night, was everything clearly laid out?

Chen Momo instinctively looked up and saw a stack of documents at the place where Bo Jingyan was sitting just a moment ago.

Were they evidence that Xia Qingtian was the woman from that night?
