Afterwards, the recording of the conversation between Audrey and Edward was played in extenso.

When the play was over, Edward looked pale.

He hadn't expected Audrey to record their conversation. At the beginning, he talked to Audrey with the simple intention of luring her into his trap. Yet the unexpected recording really caught him off guard.

Audrey handed over her hair clip and said, "Your honor, this recording can be verified by a special person to see if it is the voice of Mr. Edward and I, as well as whether there is any post-editing or processing. Furthermore ... if you don't believe me, you can also investigate the surveillance footage of the teahouse at that time to prove whether what I said is true or not."

Edward took off his glasses and wiped off the sweat from his eyes and forehead with a handkerchief.
