Chapter 257 Conquer Ben’s Mind

Maggie smiled and added. “There could be numerous reasons–for instance, your family is poor and you saw this as an opportunity to extort money, or perhaps someone instructed you to frame and defame, or maybe you harbour some unsightly secret that I unluckily uncovered.”

“Which of these doesn’t point to a potential slander against me?”

Ben stared blankly at Maggie, the woman’s beauty radiating–the kind that shone brilliantly under the dazzling lights.

She seemed to glow like a moon or a delicate dusk–blooming flower, exuding a faint, alluring fragrance amidst her austerity,

Meeting his gaze, Maggie spoke again, “Or there is another possibility. You tried to push me down the stairs, but I sidestepped, and you fell after missing your target.

Her words caused an immediate stir in the crowd.

“Indeed, if that were the case, one would fall in such a manner. This explanation makes sense,” someone agreed.

“If it’s true, then he’s merely reaped what he sowed.”

“That’s right. I had thought of this possibility before. When he fell, I saw Ms. Adams supporting herself against the railing. Had she just pushed someone, she wouldn’t be in that position.”

The crowd buzzed with varying opinions. Because of Ben’s previous deceit, they were inclined to believe Maggie’s words. Now that she spoke, everyone considered this possibility more likely.

A flash of resentment flickered in Ben’s eyes. He retorted in frustration, “People like you have power and influence, while I’m merely a commoner who cannot afford to offend you. But since you’ve made such claims, you must provide evidence, or else can I not accuse you of defamation?”

Maggie smiled slightly as she replied coldly, “It’s quite simple. We will figure it out by checking your recent. bank transactions.”

Beth had manipulated Ben, she was certain. That woman was the type that wouldn’t do the dirty work on her own unless pushed to the brink.

However, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t pay someone to do the deed.

Surely, this was bought by her; otherwise, why would he target her for no reason?
