Chapter 369

"Who can say? Someone like you is capable of anything, no matter how disgraceful."

Danielle refused to back down, while Evelyn studied her with sharp intensity.

Gregory's voice turned icy. "Danielle, it's just the three of us here. Confess now, and you might salvage this. Or would you rather have the whole world know?"

"Gregory, so you don’t trust me? I already told you—I didn’t do it. I have better things to do than obsess over her. If you won’t believe me, fine. Show me proof if you have any!"

Danielle was certain they had nothing. If they had evidence, they wouldn’t be interrogating me like this. They’d just shove it in my face and force a confession.

Did it matter if she was involved?

Not really.

The only thing that mattered was seeing Evelyn squirm. That alone was worth it.

Danielle smirked, tilting her chin up in challenge. Go ahead. Prove it.

Evelyn’s lips curved slightly. "So, Danielle, if I can prove it was you, you’ll admit it?"

A flicker of hesitation.

But Danielle wasn’t worried. She straightened, meeting Evelyn’s gaze head-on. "Sure. If you have proof, I’ll own up to it. But what if you can’t?"

Evelyn’s smile deepened. "Deal. Your brother is our witness. If I fail, I’ll apologize. Fair?"

Danielle scoffed. "An apology? Worthless. If you can’t prove it, you owe me one favor—no questions asked."

Every word was being recorded.

Evelyn played it back.

Danielle stiffened. "What the hell is this?"

"Insurance," Evelyn said lightly. "So you can’t backtrack later. Smart, don’t you think?"

Danielle’s confidence wavered—but only for a second. She’s bluffing. There’s no way she has anything.

Evelyn turned to Gregory, sending him the screenshots.

His expression darkened as he scrolled. "Danielle. Did you really conspire with Vivian to do this?"

He shoved the phone in her face.

Her own messages stared back at her—plans to sabotage Evelyn, arrangements to steal her work and hand it to Vivian.

Her stomach dropped.

How?

Gregory’s voice was lethal. "Do you realize how petty and illegal this is?"

Silence.

His jaw clenched. "I’ve warned you—repeatedly—to leave her alone. If you have a problem, you cto me. Are my words just noise to you?"

Danielle’s defiance crumbled.

But it was too late.

Evelyn had already won.
