Chapter 132 “Maybe she had a replica made,” Elowen suggested.

“She saw it? Knew you bought it? Even knew you'd wear it yesterday?” Leopold's barrage of questions made her heart pound uneasily.

“I posted it on Facebook, she must've seen it there...” Before she could say more, Leopold cut her off coldly, “Enough, you're just making things worse.” “I'm not lying, it really wasn’t me,” she tried to explain, but Leopold wasn't listening. He knew just how crafty she could be.

Elara, hugging her daughter's shoulders, defended, “Elowen can be a bit mischievous, but she wouldn't mess up on such an important occasion. She's reasonable. When the incident occurred, Aurelia was conveniently at the door. Isn't it too coincidental? She didn’t leave earlier or later, but just at that moment, probably to avoid getting hurt when she saw the waitress coming.” Leopold's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flickering in them, “You should be thankful she wasn't there, else there would've been one more victim.” With that, he stalked off upstairs.

Elowen’s eyes welled up with tears, “Mom, Leopold doesn’t believe me, what should | do?” Elara was also frustrated. She had come to confront her nephew, but instead got the tables turned on her.

“We need to find out the truth, you can’t take the blame for this.” “I'm going to find Aurelia now, see if she’s the one behind this,” Elowen said, hurrying off.

At that moment, Aurelia had just finished a meeting with her team. As she reached the meeting room door, Elowen called her in.

Seeing Elowen’s furious expression, Aurelia guessed that something major had happened, “Ms. Elowen, what's the matter?” Elowen stared at her intently, not missing a single flicker of expression on her face, “Tell me honestly, did you have anything to do with Evelyn getting scalded?” Aurelia felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head.

She had already suspected something was off, but she never imagined someone would frame her for it.

“What's going on? Why would you suspect me?” Elowen told her about someone impersonating her and bribing the waitress.

“You and Evelyn are competing for the director's position, and you're at a disadvantage. Were you trying to teach her a lesson? But you were afraid of getting caught and kicked out of the company by Leopold, so you framed me.” Aurelia was impressed by Elowen’s imagination. Did Elowen really need to drag her down to clear her own name? “Ms. Elowen, | thought we were on the same side. | never thought you'd suspect me, it really hurts.” Elowen snorted, “When Evelyn had the accident, you conveniently moved away, avoiding the splash. Isn't that a bit too coincidental?” “That just shows I'm lucky,” Aurelia replied, “In fact, | thought it was suspicious yesterday and was worried it might have been you.” Elowen pouted, “I did want to teach Evelyn a lesson, but not in such a tic way it doesn’t benefit me at all.” Now, Aurelia was confused, “If it’s not you, and it's not me, then who could it be? Is there someone else who wants to hurt Evelyn?” Elowen glanced at her, “Are you sure it's not you?” “I wouldn't do something that harms others and doesn’t benefit me. Scalding Evelyn wouldn't prevent her from becoming a director, it would just cause trouble for me. Do you think I'm that st* pid?” Aurelia looked at her seriously, “Moreover, you're the future wife of the CEO, I'm counting on you for support. If | harm you, wouldn't I lose my backing?” Hearing this, Elowen’s suspicions lessened.

She couldn't think of anyone else at the banquet who would do such a thing.

“I need to find out who's behind this.” If they were only targeting Evelyn, she wouldn't interfere, she might even secretly cheer them on.

But to frame her? That was unforgivable!
