Chapter 99


    Upon being interrogated in such a way, Mnie was instantly speechless; she couldn’te up


    with a remark to support her statements. Now she hadpletely yed into Vania’s hands and let


    thetter lead her around by the nose. With no opportunity to take the offensive at all, she had no


    choice but to stay on the defensive, but it was difficult for her to even defend herself against the


    questions Vania had thrown at her.


    Meanwhile, Josie had been regting the onlinements all this while, but there were signs of


    tables being turned.

    ‘Vania is tooposed, isn’t she? There’s no way she could fake it.’


    ‘I thought Mnie’s evidence would prove Vania’s guilt all at once. And yet this is all she’s got?’


    ‘Now I’m waiting for the twist.’


    ‘There’s quite plenty of interesting stuff to watch today, isn’t there?’


    Most of theizens had stopped taking sides and were now sitting by and waiting for what was


    next.


    The furrows in Hanson’s brow had eased as he was sitting there. Obviously, he had made his own


    judgment on what was going on.


    Indeed, the document Mnie had gotten from Mr. Wright was the only piece of evidence she had.


    Left with no choice, she could only brazen it out, saying, “Okay, I’ll text Mr. Wright right now. Once


    he replies to my text message, it’ll prove that I did get the evidence from him.”


    Vania still looked as imperturbable as ever. “Sure, no problem.”


    How could she not even be scared by this? A hint of suspicion arose in Mnie’s mind. What


    makes her look so indifferent to all of this? Did anything go wrong at some point? she thought.


    However, now that things had developed to this stage, she no longer had time to verify anything.


    Right now, the only thing she could and had to do was pick up her phone and send a WhatsApp


    message under the eyes of those at the scene as well as everyone watching the live broadcast on


    the inte. ‘Are you there, Mr. Wright?’


    Everyone held their breath and waited in anticipation. Then…


    Nothing happened.


    There was no response from the other end. The message sent by Mnie showed a single check


    mark indicating that it had been sent, but that was all. At first, everyone thought Mr. Wright might be


    taking his time to reply to Mnie’s message, and they waited patiently. However, as seconds


    ticked by, murmurs began to arise from the crowd, bing louder and louder until they filled the


    whole room.


    “What’s going on here? Does she really know Mr. Wright in person?”


    “I think this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. This Mnie woman’s probably gonna be left with


    egg on her face.”


    Mnie’s suspicion grew at the sight of the scene. All of a sudden, she had a bad feeling that things


    weren’t going to turn out the way she wanted. Just then, someone in the room said, “Hey, did you


    see that? There’s no st seen’ status below the username. And besides, there’s only a single


    check mark next to her message. Doesn’t that mean she’s been blocked by Mr. Wright?”


    The instant he said that, everyone—including Mnie—turned to look at therge screen disying


    her WhatsApp chat with Mr. Wright. Indeed, there was no st seen” status below Mr. Wright’s


    username, and the message sent by Mnie never showed a second check mark.


    Mnie’s pupils dted in disbelief as she fixed her eyes on the WhatsApp chat window. No way,


    this shouldn’t be the case. We had a nice chat before this, and he provided me with urate


    information. There’s no way he’d block me on WhatsApp for no reason, right? In a panicked attempt


    to reassure herself, she immediately called Mr. Wright on WhatsApp. However, what she heard was


    a recorded female voice that said, “Sorry, but the number you have dialed is not in service…”


    Her panic was witnessed by everyone. As a result, those who had been whispering to each other


    about Vania were now talking about her instead, and those rich heiresses who disliked her in the


    first ce began to gloat.


    “I thought she was quite something when I saw how confident she looked just now. Talk about going


    for wool anding home shorn. What a disgrace!”


    The tide of online public opinion started to turn against Mnie, too.


    ‘I waited until the end, and this is it?’


    ‘Don’t tell me she’s got nothing to back up her evidence.’


    ‘But she just swore to it with such vehemence. Perhaps this isn’t the only piece of evidence she


    has.’


    ‘The more I look, the more I find Vania charming. Her deportment is simply matchless.’


    At this point, Josie, who was sitting at home, started to get anxious. She immediately sent


    somebody to find out what was going on, but she didn’t receive any reply for a long time. As a


    result, she was like a cat on hot bricks.


    Mnie also felt unsettled, as though she had fallen into a bottomless pit. At this very moment, she


    had no time to think about whether she had been duped; all she could think in her mind was what to


    do next. After a moment, she questioned Vania, “In that case, how can you prove that the creative


    concept for this ad of yours isn’t copied from someone else?”


    “Since you can’t prove that I giarized someone else’s work, I don’t have to y along with you.


    Let’s leave it to the judge,” Vania replied.
