“No, I’m not. You framed me, and I want to seek justice for myself!”
Pearl narrowed her eyes and frowned. “Could you at least put on some clothes before seeking justice
for yourself?”
Sophia realized all too late the impropriety of her attire, but Esther didn’t prepare any clothes for her.
The snickers and laughter from the onlookers deepened her embarrassment.
Caught in this awkward situation, Sophia could only grit her teeth and endure the humiliation. She
turned away from Pearl and accused, “Are you trying to divert attention away by changing the subject?”
This was the first time Pearl had encountered a culprit who shifted blame so brazenly. It prompted

“I placed so much trust in you and respected you when we worked together at the company. I
considered you my senior, and I didn’t hold a grudge when you played a part in my dismissal. But why
did you plot against me again here today?” Sophia began to sob, her feigned distress adding to her
allure.
She had a plan in mind. As long as she could shift the blame onto Pearl, she’d appear as a mere
victim. Even if the reporters reported the incident, she’d be the innocent party, with the men involved
unaware of her true identity. Pearl would have no evidence to counter her claims.
“Just a moment. Let’s clarify one thing. I didn’t frame you or cause your dismissal from the company.
You were fired because of your involvement with several men, which ruined their families,” Pearl stated
firmly, her words bearing the truth.
This led to onlookers gossiping and casting disdainful glances at Sophia. Some women who had
experienced family breakdowns due to home-wreckers also voiced their condemnation, calling Sophia
derogatory names despite her innocent appearance.
Stubborn, Sophia refused to give up. “You can say whatever you want. Losing my job I could endure,
but now I’ve lost my reputation. My father is a symbol of kindness and peace. How do I explain this to
him?”
Sophia’s words painted her as a loving and dutiful daughter, a picture of gentleness and kindness.
However, her target was Pearl
“So, you acknowledge that you’ve wronged your father?” Pearl chuckled. “Today, I’ll teach you a lesson

behalf.”
Sophia’s unease was evident in her widened eyes.
“Do you admit that you hired some people to harm me? It was supposed to be me in that room, being
humiliated, right?”
Pearl’s questions left Sophia shaking her head vehemently. “That’s absurd! Why would I do that? And
why would I willingly suffer if that were my plan? None of this makes any sense!”
The reporters, captivated by the unfolding drama, were thankful they hadn’t left the scene earlier, as
they would have missed such an interesting show.
Pearl, however, didn’t linger on the subject and turned to Esther. “Can you ask all your waiters to come
out?”
Esther nodded and summoned all the waitstaff.
“When the incident happened, Richard had ordered his bodyguards to secure the entire house. I’m
confident that no one could have escaped,” Pearl explained slowly, filling Sophia with trepidation.
