Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 653

"Someone asked you to accuse Reece of hitting you, right?"

Sophie cut to the chase, causing the woman to panic slightly. "Accusation? He did hit me!"

The woman's demeanor was evidently odd, and Sophie went on, "I looked into you and found out you're not even a fan of Reece. Why were you at the studio that day?"

Sophie's lie came naturally, but the woman seemed prepared. Her response was much smoother as she insisted, "I am a fan of Reece! I went there that day hoping to see him and get an autograph, but he just lashed out at me! So what if he's a big star? Isn't he propped up by fans like us? Reece is just all show!"

Hearing this, Sophie leaned back in her chair and asked, "Not many people know Reece's schedule, and he even left the studio early that day. How did you know?"

"I got the news ahead of time!"

"Where did you get the news from?"

"From a fan group, of course!"
