William, always considering himself a man of integrity, felt no need to weave lies in his dealings. Yet, under the

harsh gaze of scrutiny, even the guiltless might find their cheeks burning, their composure slipping.

"What I'm trying to articulate isn't that... it's just..." William faltered, his confidence ebbing away unexpectedly.

Isabella scized the moment, not allowing him a chance to regroup. "Not these? So, all of these accusations are

true? Initially, |

without further elaboration.

But now..." She let her words hang in the air, the implication clear

Caught off guard, William struggled to find his footing in the conversation. "There were reasons. for all of that. It

was her who made the mistakes, and that's why..."

"What mistake did she make?" Isabella pressed, her question cutting through the tension.

Jennie, feeling a surge of panic, feared William might reveal too much. Understanding his tendency to divulge

more than intended under pressure, she knew she had to intervene. "Stop deflecting. We're discussing you

spreading rumors aboutfighting over a dress. That Her interjection prompted a few awkward coughs from

those around, their discomfort palpable.

Jennie glanced around, meeting eyes filled with unspoken words, as if everyone collectively thought, No, the

gossip about the wife and the mistress bickering over a dress isn't our focus now.

The real issue, irrespective of the underlying motives, was that a well-known actor had apparently mistreated his

wife in favor of his mistress-a deplorable act. Yet here he was, confronting others as if he bore no guilt.

Feeling what seemed like public humiliation, Jennie began to tremble visibly.

Even William could feel the disdain emanating from those around him, leaving him bewildered by their reaction,

questioning internally, Why, when I've done nothing wrong?

Before they could further react, Isabella adopted a posture of righteous indignation, her voice. tinged with

disbelief. "What, you're saying it never happened, that | was set up? Who would do that? The wife? Did she

confess to orchestrating a plot against you?" Connor, sensing the conversation spiraling, hastily interjected, "Yes,

she admitted she knew you!"

"lI am an artist who has worked on the sshow as her husband. Isn't it normal that she knows of me?" Isabella

retorted, incredulous. "I was merely inquiring if she admitted to directing this alleged schagainst you."

Her statement left William and his companions momentarily speechless.

Who would admit to such a thing!" Jennie blurted out, disbelief etched across her face.

Isabella turned to Jennie, her tone laced with sarcasm. "You really have a talent for fabrication. don't you? I didn't

lie, Mr. Sawyer. Whom do you believeor her?"

The sudden boldness of Isabella's challenge left everyone in a brief state of shock.

Caught off guard, Jennie almost laughed out loud as she grasped the unfolding scenario.

William, jolted back to reality by Isabella's questioning, stared at her in disbelief. "Why would | believe you over

my own junior? How well do | even know you?"

Everyone in the room was thinking, Isabella, regardless of the truth, why should anyone take your word over

their personal relationships? Your argument seems weak! You should pivot quickly, don't lose your sharpness!

Who would have thought that Isabella, in a moment of frustration, would say, "Right, | shouldn't have asked. If

Mr. Sawyer doesn't even trust his own wife, how could he trust someone he barely knows like me?"

Her words left William visibly shaken, his face frozen in astonishment.

What?

"Just by speaking, he gives Ms. Woods absolute trust, no evidence needed, unlike me. I'd probably need to

provide a mountain of proof just to be heard. It's frustrating to see such disparity in treatment," Isabella

continued, her frustration palpable. Jennie, at a loss for words, her face growing pale, remained silent.

Everyone was astounded..

"I didn't feel wronged at all. After all, Mr. Sawyer's wife was accused without being allowed to defend herself. It

seems anyone could be blamed for bullying Ms. Woods. It's just absurd... But it somehow reassures me." Connor

was stunned.

D*mn! Impressive! That sarcastic comeback was spot-on!

The temperature in the makeup room seemed to rise, causing sto feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Nevertheless, Jennic, ever adept at navigating crises, suddenly burst into tears. "I understand now, you're

againstbecause you think I've wronged William's wife. But | swear, there's nothing improper between William

and me. We've been wrongfully accused, and it's so Upon hearing her tic plea, everyone was taken aback.

They had merely been bystanders to the unfolding ; how had they suddenly becpart of such a grave

situation?

William was instantly on alert, given Jennie's history of mental health issues and self-harm. If she hadn't been

wrongly accused, why would she express such despair again? 22/411

"Enough! You're defending Jessica so fiercely, yet you claim not to know her!" William. disregarding all previous

doubts, fervently defended Jennie. "I've already warned Jessica-

if she continues to make up stories about Jennie, don't blme for choosing logic over family ties!"

Choosing to stand by logic instead of your family, is that it. buddy? Can you even hear yourself? I've never seen

anyone so skilled at twisting the truth and confusing right and wrong. The problem is, he actually believes he's

doing the right thing!

Upon hearing Isabella's candid admission. Christopher was caught off guard by the revelation. His response,

laced with irony, couldn't help but escape his lips. "Mr. Sawyer, did you perhaps misspeak?"

The sarcasm in his voice cut through the tension, prompting a chorus of coughs from those around, all covertly

signaling their approval of his remark.

William. possibly motivated by a mix of pride and guilt. felt compelled to assert his version

of the truth. "You all are completely in the dark about what my wife has subjected Jennie to. She's suspicious,

distrustful, and constantly concocts schemes against Jennie. Despite Jennie's consistent respect and decency

toward her, she's unrelenting in her pursuit." He had always preferred to resolve family matters privately, hoping

to afford Jessica the chance. to amend her ways. But he could no longer stand by as Jennie suffered unjustly

under false accusations. "Isabella, whatever you've been told, I'm determined to uncover the tr Isabella found

herself reeling from the turn of events. Despite everything. William's unwavering trust in Jennie was evident, a

testament to their deep-seated bond that no childhood sweetheart could rival. It disgusted her how blind loyalty

could overshadow obvious truths. At that moment, she considered involving the authorities. Although high-end

stores typically shunned releasing surveillance footage to protect their reputation, she knew that formally

reporting the incident would compel them to comply.

At that precise moment, the room was suddenly filled with the cacophony of ringing cell phones, drawing

everyone's attention despite their attempts to ignore the disturbance.

With a single glance, their pupils quaked.

William and his manager's phones began to explode with notifications. William might have been indifferent, but

his manager was not. As he checked his phone, his complexion turned ashen, his eyes wide with shock as he

glanced toward Jennie. Meanwhile, William continued his staunch defense of Jennie, his gaze sternly fixed on

Isabella, silently pleading with her to cease her support for what he perceived as the wrong side. However,

Isabella's expression shifted abruptly to one of schadenfreude, her smile broadening unsettling!

Hayden, puzzled, pulled out his own buzzing phone. Christopher, less concerned with the digital uproar, focused

instead on Isabella's declarations.

Even the heavens can't stand to watch this unfold any longer! Indeed, the relentless curiosity of netizens

surpasses any force money can buy. 3244
