Chapter 251

Evelyn Roland gazed at her with icy disdain. "Beg me? You're not even worthy to speak."

"Accusing me of seducing your fiancé? Where's your proof?"

"It was you who drugged the food last time. Who knows what schemes you're plotting?" Cassandra Valentine deliberately spoke in vague terms, inviting speculation.

The mention of "drugging" sent shockwaves through the crowd.

Every camera lens swiveled toward Evelyn.

Her expression remained unshaken, her poised stance making Cassandra appear increasingly aggressive.

The live chat exploded with comments.

This scheming witch should be banished from high society!

She’s got that vixen look—specializing in stealing men

Rumors about her promiscuity weren’t unfounded

A glint of triumph flashed in Cassandra’s eyes as she skimmed the comments. Sebastian Cortez was overseas—too far to intervene.

Her goal was Evelyn’s utter ruin.

Evelyn’s gaze darkened as she scanned the live feed.

This fool had provoked her before, only to be outmaneuvered every time.

"Miss Roland, why did you interfere in their relationship?" A reporter thrust a microphone forward.

Evelyn’s eyes sharpened like blades. "I didn’t."

"Then explain the drugging incident," the reporter pressed, though his voice faltered under her glare.

Evelyn turned a meaningful look toward Cassandra. "That’s a question Miss Valentine should answer."

Cassandra’s heart skipped, but she summoned tears.

"Evelyn, you’re the one who drugged them! Now you’re framing me? How vile!" Her shrill accusation painted her as the victim.

"Cassandra, you—"

"Julian!" Cassandra cut her off dramatically. "We grew up together. I know you didn’t mean it. I’ll protect you from this woman’s schemes!"

Julian Roscente’s eyes burned with fury.

Cassandra tensed internally. Would her plan work?

"It was you who drugged us last time!" Julian snapped.

Panic flickered in Cassandra’s eyes before she sobbed harder. "Just because she’s prettier, you’d slander me like this?"

She wiped her tears, hiding a smirk.

If she could drown Evelyn in scandal...

"Mr. Roscente, are you and Miss Roland involved?" a reporter interjected.
