Chapter 496: Emilee still tried hard to prove her innocence while Marissa's lips curled into a meaningful smile. The woman who had always relished slandering others now found herself needing to prove her own innocence—a twist of fate orchestrated by Marissa's deliberate revenge.

Marissa was delighted. This was exactly what she wanted Emilee to experience. "You claimed you didn't do it. Provide evidence. If you can't, it means you're guilty," she said.

Emilee stiffened at her words. She hadn't spread the rumors, but how could she prove it? She lacked the means to discover the true perpetrator and was puzzled, wondering why that schemer had done this.

Originally, she had ignited rumors about her and Xander, thinking that as long as Xander remained silent online, she could occasionally draw the netizens' attention with their fake relationship, helping promote Hinks Perfumes. If Xander confronted her, she planned to claim victimhood as well.

Unexpectedly, Xander grew irritated by the recent rumors and publicly denounced her. She was humiliated, and Hinks Perfumes suffered greatly.

Marissa was aware Emilee couldn't provide any evidence, which was exactly why she had demanded it. Since Emilee remained silent, Marissa continued her accusations. "Emilee, you disappoint me. You had the audacity to involveand Xander in your lies but lack the courage to admit your actions. Coward!" Emilee closed her eyes, resigning herself to her fate. She couldn't prove her innocence or counter Marissa's attacks. She had to bear this false accusation. Desperate to resolve the matter quickly so she could participate in the second phase of the contest, she begrudgingly apologized, "I'm sorry, Tiffany." Ł@Fé$† Çhäþtεяş in ĠalŞAs she apologized, it felt as though she was swallowing a mouthful of blood.

Marissa scoffed lightly. "Forget it. I'm always magnanimous. You spread the rumors to slander me, and I've slapped you in response. We're even." Her words offered Emilee a moment of relief. But before she could fully exhale, Marissa added, "However, you must apologize to Araceli." Emilee froze. She had always tormented Araceli. Regardless of her actions, Araceli had never retaliated, nor had Emilee ever apologized. Emilee was reluctant. Yet, under Marissa's intense stare, she felt compelled to comply.

Initially, she hadn't taken Marissa seriously, still seeing her as the timid Tiffany from the past. However, Marissa's forceful slap had instilled fear in her. She recognized that Marissa was not someone to be underestimated.

Another hit might land her in the hospital, jeopardizing her participation in the perfcontest. She couldn't afford such a costly mistake.

Thus, the scorn in her eyes was replaced by apprehension as she faced Marissa. Driven by this newfound fear, she turned to Araceli and muttered, "I'm sorry." Araceli was unaccustomed to such an apology. Having been bullied by Emilee since childhood, she had never expected an apology from her. Emilee's words threw her into a state of panic. But mixed with her panic was a surge of delight. She felt like a canary set free, eager to sing.

Emilee's usual followers remained silent, intimidated by Marissa's aggressive demeanor. Emst, however, saw an opportunity to curry favor with Emilee and secure a favorable position in the perfcontest, which might help him land a job as a perfumer at Minty Fragrances and Perfumes. He stepped forward to defend Emilee.

"Tiffany, Araceli, you've scolded and struck Miss Hinks. She has apologized. Let's leave it at that. The reexamination defense is about to start. Do you really want to prevent Miss Hinks from participating in the contest?" Marissa simply tilted her head, looking towards Araceli, leaving the decision to her. She had plans to check on Skytop Mansion later and couldn't linger much longer. She deferred to Araceli on whether to forgive Emilee.

Araceli, heartbroken from her recent breakup with Ernst, was eagenton leave. "Let's go home, Tiffany," she En said.

Marissa nodded in agreement, and they left together. Araceli maintained a facade of strength as they walked away, but once they were in the car, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Marissa, instead of comforting her, m asked coolly, "Do you want revenge?"
