The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Li Ya raised her hand and pointed at Mo Zhuo on the stage, her voice full of disgust and disdain.

"I have never loved Mo Zhuo! My engagement to him was entirely forced upon me by my family! The person I truly love is Rhys! Rhys Anderson!"

Rhys Anderson, who was standing next to her, put his arm around her waist at the right moment, a victorious smile on his face, and said triumphantly.

"Everyone, please understand Ya Ya's choice. Love is a matter of freedom, and everyone has the right to pursue true love. Ya Ya has chosen true love, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Rhys Anderson spoke fluent Mandarin, but with a condescending tone that instantly caused an uproar in the banquet hall.

"Holy crap! That's amazing!"

"Has Li Ya gone mad? Bringing her lover to her wedding to cause trouble?"

"Damn it, this woman is so shameless!"

"The Mohists have really lost face this time!"

Mo Yong slammed his hand on the table and glared at Li Zhengyang.

"You surnamed Li, is this the kind of daughter your Li family has raised! Your Li family has no shame! We Mo family still have shame!"

"No, my dear in-law, please listen to me, I have absolutely no idea what's going on..."

"Who the hell is your father-in-law! You surnamed Li, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, then your Li family has no reason to continue existing!"

Hearing Mo Yong's words, which were tantamount to a complete falling out, Li Zhengyang's facial muscles twitched, and he quickly apologized.

"Father-in-law, no, Master Mo, please calm down. I'll handle everything. I'll handle it."

After calming Mo Yong down, Li Zhengyang strode angrily to Li Ya, who was looking smug, and raised his hand to slap her.

"You unfilial daughter! Are you trying to drive me to my death?!"

Instead of dodging, Li Ya raised her head and shouted in an even sharper voice.

"Hit me! Kill me if you want! I'm going to make this clear today! I, Li Ya, have never loved Mo Zhuo! The entire Li family and the Mo family are a bunch of hypocrites! You forced me to marry a man I don't love; you are the real villains!"

"Well said!"

Rhys Anderson clapped his hands, his eyes full of mockery and smugness as he looked at Mo Zhuo.

"Mr. Mo, did you hear that? Ya Ya doesn't love you at all. Do you think you can get everything just because you're rich and powerful?"

"In the face of true love, capital is nothing. People are free. Whatever choices Ya Ya makes is Ya Ya's freedom, and you have no right to interfere."

On the stage, Mo Zhuo's hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

His eyes were bloodshot, his chest was heaving violently, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt.

Down in the audience, Mo Feifei was trembling with anger, gripping my arm tightly.

"Brother Yuan! They...they've gone too far!"

Ye Linyuan remained silent, simply watching the scene unfold with a cold smile playing on his lips. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Mo Zhuo took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and shot his gaze at Li Ya and Rhys Anderson like a knife.

Just when everyone thought Mo Zhuo was about to explode, he suddenly smiled.

"hehe."

Mo Zhuo's laughter wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet banquet hall. Li Ya frowned, looked at Mo Zhuo with disgust, and questioned him in a condescending tone with extreme disdain.

"Hey, you surnamed Mo, what are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at?"

Mo Zhuo slowly walked down from the stage, step by step towards Li Ya and Rhys Anderson.

"Li Ya, you're saying you were forced by your family? Hahaha, that's an absolute joke!"

Mo Zhuo stopped in front of Li Ya, looking down at the woman in the wedding dress with no anger in his eyes, only deep contempt.

"Who was the one who pursued me in the first place? Who was the one who came to my company every few days, bringing me food and flowers? Who was the one who acted like a good girl in front of my mother, saying that she had liked me since she was a child?"

Mo Zhuo's voice grew louder and louder, each word like a slap in the face, instantly turning Li Ya's face bright red.

"You're talking nonsense! I've never liked you! You're just deluding yourself!"

"Am I just being delusional?"

Mo Zhuo sneered, took out his phone from his suit pocket, and played a recording.

"Mo Zhuo, I really like you. I think a marriage between our families would be beneficial to both of us..."

"Brother Mo Zhuo, when are you free? I made you some soup..."

"Auntie, I've admired Brother Mo Zhuo since I was little. If I could marry him, my life would be complete..."

Recordings played in the banquet hall, and Li Ya's voice was clearly audible.

Li Ya's face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and her whole body was trembling.

"You...you actually recorded it!"

"What? You dare to do it but not admit it?"

Mo Zhu put away his phone, his eyes growing even colder.

"Li Ya, do you think I don't know about your affair with this foreign devil? Do you think your scheme to frame me was airtight?"

Upon hearing this, Reece Anderson's expression changed slightly, but he quickly relaxed.

The matter is already settled, what chance does Mo Zhuo have to turn things around? I'm only here today to mock him as the victor.

Soon, I'll be able to return to America with billions of dollars in wealth!

Just as Rhys Anderson was getting excited, Mo Zhuo suddenly turned to look at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Rhys Anderson, what did you just say? That people are free? That everyone has the right to pursue true love?"

What is this guy trying to do by saying this at this time?

Rhys Anderson was somewhat puzzled, but outwardly he still held his chin high, appearing righteous and awe-inspiring.

"That's right! Ya Ya doesn't love you anymore, and she has the right to choose a new life!"

"Well said!"

Mo Zhu clapped his hands, then turned to look at everyone, his voice deafening.

"Then I, Mr. Anderson, would like to ask you this question today: Is the 'true love' you speak of the one you conspired with Li Ya to swindle my Mo family out of 30 billion yuan in project funds?"

"The freedom you speak of is nothing more than setting up commercial traps step by step, targeting my Mo family's industries?"

"The 'choice' you're referring to is simply a married man having an affair with another married woman, the two of them colluding in evil deeds?"

Mo Zhuo's every word was like a heavy hammer blow, slamming down on Rhys Anderson and Li Ya's heads.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall erupted in chaos once again.

"Holy crap! So all the assets the Mo family lost recently were a trap set by this pair of scoundrels?"

"Damn it, I knew those projects Mo Zhuo spearheaded back then would fall off suspiciously; it turns out there was a mole inside!"

"That bitch Li Ya! She actually conspired with outsiders to frame her own fiancé!"

"That foreigner's no good either! What a hypocrite he's pretending to be!"

Li Zhengyang's face had turned completely black. He stared intently at Li Ya, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You...you, you actually did such a thing?!"

Li Ya's lips trembled as she tried to defend herself, but she couldn't utter a single word, because what Mo Zhuo said was true.
