With a sweeping gesture of his hand, Su Xingfu commanded, “Summon the family doctor to examine what’s inside the bird’s nest soup.”

He understood well that his two daughters had always clashed. Su Bei, born to his first wife, had been utterly pampered, whereas Su Huixian, from his second wife, showed greater patience. Only irrefutable proof could settle their dispute.

The family doctor arrived promptly, equipped with expert instruments, and started testing the soup.

“Huixian, hand over your phone,” Su Xingfu then said.

“Su Bei knocked it down! I haven’t laid a finger on it since,” Su Huixian sobbed miserably.

Su Xingfu retrieved the phone from the floor and checked the call history. A call had gone out about ten minutes earlier, matching precisely with Su Bei’s account.

Su Bei cast a sidelong look at the records. She was eager to witness how Su Huixian would refute such concrete proof.

Su Xingfu called the mysterious number from the log. Immediately, a robotic voice responded, “Press 1 for balance check, press 2 for payments...”

Su Bei’s beautiful features twisted in anger. How was this possible? Moments ago, Su Huixian had dialed right before her, demanding bodyguards to assault her, but Su Bei had grabbed the device before the order was complete. No way could the log have been altered.

Yet the history plainly indicated the recent call connected to the telecom service.

Suspicion and dismay filled every gaze directed at Su Bei.

Su Huixian wept profusely, as though enduring immense injustice.

Su Bei balled her hands into fists. This couldn’t be right—something felt off.

Thankfully, the family doctor was reliable, so she appealed to him, “Doctor Wen, what did your tests reveal?”

“Miss Bei, the bird’s nest soup contains nothing unusual,” Doctor Wen answered gently.

“Its flavor seemed off when I tasted it. And Su Huixian confessed to spiking it...” Su Huixian’s icy words from that moment lingered vividly in Su Bei’s thoughts.

“It truly holds no anomalies, Miss Bei,” Doctor Wen reiterated firmly.

“Su Bei, I’ve never intended you harm.” Su Huixian maintained her woeful expression, instantly drawing pity from all onlookers.

Du Luo gazed at her tenderly, offering silent reassurance.

In contrast to Su Bei’s composed grace amid the chaos, Su Huixian appeared utterly vulnerable.

Suddenly, clarity struck Su Bei like lightning.

She grasped it all at once! The soup had never held any drug from the start. Su Huixian had faked the call entirely. She had schemed the entire trap to lure Su Bei into false accusations, ensuring that exposure would leave Su Bei defenseless and stripped of all credibility.

Whirling to face her father, Su Bei urgently pleaded, “Dad, I’ve figured it out. Su Huixian set this up deliberately to...”

Before Su Bei could utter another word, Su Xingfu’s hand lashed out, striking her cheek.

The sharp slap stunned everyone present.

Tension thickened the air, turning it heavy and strained.

From behind Su Xingfu, Su Huixian lifted her head, smirking victoriously at Su Bei.

Yet Su Bei paid her no heed. Clutching her stinging face, she stared at her father in utter shock.
