Chapter 496:

Emilee still tried hard to prove her innocence while Marissa’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. The woman who had always relished slandering others now found herself needing to prove her own innocence—a twist of fate orchestrated by Marissa’s deliberate revenge.

Marissa was delighted. This was exactly what she wanted Emilee to experience. “You claimed you didn’t do it. Provide evidence. If you can’t, it means you’re guilty,” she said.

Emilee stiffened at her words. She hadn’t spread the rumors, but how could she prove it? She lacked the means to discover the true perpetrator and was puzzled, wondering why that schemer had done this.

Originally, she had ignited rumors about her and Xander, thinking that as long as Xander remained silent online, she could occasionally draw the netizens’ attention with their fake relationship, helping promote Hinks Perfumes. If Xander confronted her, she planned to claim victimhood as well.

Unexpectedly, Xander grew irritated by the recent rumors and publicly denounced her. She was humiliated, and Hinks Perfumes suffered greatly.

Marissa was aware Emilee couldn’t provide any evidence, which was exactly why she had demanded it. Since Emilee remained silent, Marissa continued her accusations. “Emilee, you disappoint me. You had the audacity to involve me and Xander in your lies but lack the courage to admit your actions. Coward!”

She couldn’t prove her innocence or counter Marissa’s attacks. She had to bear this false accusation. Desperate to resolve the matter quickly so she could participate in the second
