Chapter 214: Self-Incrimination
"Miss Carter, it’s said that you frequently visit Miss Davis at school, but she never appreciates it. Is this because of Old Mr. Carter?" a reporter pressed.
Leah’s face went pale with anger, her delicate expression crumbling into a pitiful look as she shook her head, trying to defend herself. "There’s just been a small misunderstanding between my grandfather and Ella. Ella, please don’t misinterpret his intentions..."
Eric had had enough of Leah’s fake innocent act. With a cold smirk, he tightened his arm around Ella’s waist. "Miss Carter, you seem so pitiful. Should we play the recording from that day? Let everyone see if you’re the one who’s been wronged or if my woman is the real victim!"
Leah’s face instantly turned ashen, and her lips quivered. "I—I..."
The crowd grew excited, chanting, "Play the recording! Let’s hear it!"
Leah’s lips twitched in panic, and she realized she had no way to fight back against Eric’s accusation. "Everyone, calm down... please calm down. My grandfather was a bit emotional at the time, so he might have said some things that weren’t very nice..."
Ella couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Leah had just incriminated herself—Eric didn’t have any recording, but Leah’s panic had caused her to admit everything.
The laughter from the crowd became louder, echoing throughout the venue. Leah, her face now dark with humiliation, grabbed her assistant and made a hasty retreat, completely abandoning any plans to stay for the upcoming banquet.
