Chapter 263


    “No, I’m not. You framed me, and I want to seek justice for myself!”


    Pearl narrowed her eyes and frowned. “Could you at least put on some clothes before seeking justice


    for yourself?”


    Sophia realized all toote the impropriety of her attire, but Esther didn’t prepare any clothes for her.


    The snickers andughter from the onlookers deepened her embarrassment.


    Caught in this awkward situation, Sophia could only grit her teeth and endure the humiliation. She


    turned away from Pearl and used, “Are you trying to divert attention away by changing the


    subject?”


    This was the first time Pearl had encountered a culprit who shifted me so brazenly. It prompted

    another chuckle from her.” Do you even have any shame, Sophia?”


    “I ced so much trust in you and respected you when we worked together at thepany. I


    considered you my senior, and I didn’t hold a grudge when you yed a part in my dismissal. But why


    did you plot against me again here today?” Sophia began to sob, her feigned distress adding to her


    allure.


    She had a n in mind. As long as she could shift the me onto Pearl, she’d appear as a mere


    victim. Even if the reporters reported the incident, she’d be the innocent party, with the men involved


    unaware of her true identity. Pearl would have no evidence to counter her ims.


    “Just a moment. Let’s rify one thing. I didn’t frame you or cause your dismissal from thepany.


    You were fired because of your involvement with several men, which ruined their families,” Pearl stated


    firmly, her words bearing the truth.


    This led to onlookers gossiping and casting disdainful nces at Sophia. Some women who had


    experienced family breakdowns due to home-wreckers also voiced their condemnation, calling Sophia


    derogatory names despite her innocent appearance.


    Stubborn, Sophia refused to give up. “You can say whatever you want. Losing my job I could endure,


    but now I’ve lost my reputation. My father is a symbol of kindness and peace. How do I exin this to


    him?”


    Sophia’s words painted her as a loving and dutiful daughter, a picture of gentleness and kindness.


    However, her target was Pearl


    “So, you acknowledge that you’ve wronged your father?” Pearl chuckled. “Today, I’ll teach you a lesson


    on your father’s


    behalf.”


    Sophia’s unease was evident in her widened eyes.


    “Do you admit that you hired some people to harm me? It was supposed to be me in that room, being


    humiliated, right?”


    Pearl’s questions left Sophia shaking her head vehemently. “That’s absurd! Why would I do that? And


    why would I willingly suffer if that were my n? None of this makes any sense!”


    The reporters, captivated by the unfolding drama, were thankful they hadn’t left the scene earlier, as


    they would have missed such an interesting show.


    Pearl, however, didn’t linger on the subject and turned to Esther. “Can you ask all your waiters toe


    out?”


    Esther nodded and summoned all the waitstaff.


    “When the incident happened, Richard had ordered his b*dyguards to secure the entire house. I’m


    confident that no one could have escaped,” Pearl exined slowly, filling Sophia with trepidation.
