    Chapter 117


    ‘How so! Why is it her!?’


    “What happened?” Maisie slowly appeared behind the crowd as if nothing had happened before,


    pretending that she did not know anything.


    Kennedy stepped forward hurriedly. “Zee, where have you been? Why would they say that you’re—”


    “I answered a call and went out. What’s the matter?” Maisie pretended to be puzzled.


    Nn stared at her. In fact, he already knew that it was not her when he heard the woman’s voice from


    outside the room just now.


    As for Willow, her hands that were resting on both sides clenched tightly into fists and trembled slightly


    when she saw Maisie appear from behind the crowd.


    ‘F*ck! It should’ve been this b*tch! How did it be Ms. Santiago? This is bad!’


    After Pearl saw Maisie, her expression became distorted instantly. “It’s you! You’re the one who did this


    to me!”


    She got up to pounce at Maisie immediately but was stopped by the security guard who had just gotten


    summoned to the scene by the staff members.


    “You b*tch! You’re the one who set me up! I won’t let this slide. I’ll never let you go!” Pearl screamed


    and cried.


    Maisie tilted her head and gave off an innocent expression. “I’m the one who set you up? Ms. Santiago,


    what do you mean by that?”


    This is you reaping the fruits of your own actions, isn’t it? I’ve already given you a chance to repent and


    give up on the idea.’


    “It’s you! You should’ve been the one who suffers from all this, but you’ve set me up. You‘ve ruined


    me!” Pearl had long lost her cool.


    She had been ruined,pletely ruined!


    “Ms. Santiago, I’m curious now that you say so. What do you mean by ‘I should be the one who suffers


    from all this’?” Maisie asked and then pretended to have arrived at a lightbulb moment.


    “So are you saying that you were nning to cause me harm? No wonder there was a waiter who told


    me that you were waiting for me in the lounge and asked me toe over.”


    She took a nce at the crowd and saw the waiter who had lowered his head due to a guilty


    conscience. She then walked up to the waiter and pulled him out of the crowd. “Young man, you’re the


    one who asked me toe to the lounge, aren’t you?”


    “I… I…” The waiter did not even know what was going on. He had just brought her to the lounge


    ording to Ms. Santiago’s instruction-all there was left was to confirm that she had entered the


    lounge, but who knew that she was not there!


    “I originally wanted toe over, but I picked up a call on my way here and left. I nned toe


    back to meet Ms. Santiago after I answered the call. Who knew…”


    Maisie looked at Pearl. “Ms. Santiago, I don’t remember being on bad terms, so why would you want to


    do this to me?”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “You…” Pearl’s face was pale, and her body trembled as she heard the mockery, finger-pointing, and


    discussions of the people around her.


    ‘Who would pity me at this moment?’ 1


    Pearl had always been an arrogant and presumptuous woman in the upper-ss circle of Bassburgh


    and had offended many people. Now that she had fallen to this point in life, it was very lucky of her that


    no one was adding insult to her injuries.


    Willow wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the scene, but Pearl saw her keenly.


    ‘That’s right! It’s all because of her horrible idea!’


    “It’s you! Don’t you dare leave now! This is all because of your idea. B*tch, you lied to me!” Pearl


    rushed toward Willow abruptly. Everything happened so suddenly that the security guard did not


    “Aah, it’s not me! This has nothing to do with me…” Pearl was hauling Willow’s hair, and she almost


    lost her evening gown to Pearl’s hands.


    The security guards finally suppressed Pearl.


    Willow was in a mess at the moment.


    Facing everyone’s suspicion, she shook her head vigorously. “No, it’s not me, I didn’t…


    “Nn, you have to believe me…” Her heart skipped a beat as she gazed at Nn’s indifferent


    expression.


    She was like a joker throughout the whole process. Facing the public opinion that was shing against


    her, she gave up on the idea of exining or fighting back and straight-up passed out on the floor.


    Seeing that Willow had fainted, Maisie could not help but mock her deep down,


    ‘Her acting skills are getting better and better by the day. She’s actually trying to escape everything by


    pretending to have cked out.’
