Chapter 219
"In light of the victim's accusations against you, please cwith us. The victim suffered serious harm last
night."
Quinn was shaking like a leaf; just the memory of last night made her feel like her world had been plunged into a
never-ending nightmare. How did it cto this? What on earth went wrong?
She must have been out of her mind. The minute the police showed up this morning, she was desperate to drag
Clara into her mess. Her thoughts were a chaotic whirl, muddled and jumbled.
"It has to be her. Only she would do this to me," she mumbled, her voice barely a whisper.
Ryan couldn't hold back any longer. "Quinn, that's enough. Who are you trying to fool with this sad act? Are you
seriously going to claim you were assaulted by multiple men and then point the finger at Clara as the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmastermind?"
Quinn lifted her head slowly. She had indeed been assaulted by several men, and she was convinced Clara was
involved. Wasn't her condition proof enough? Her clothes were ripped, and her body was covered in marks,
which were clear evidence of what had happened.
Ryan's words next cut her to the core. "Did you do those to yourself too? Can you ever tell the truth? You claimed
your foster parents abused you, but the man who cdemanding money was working with you all along. All
the money you've swindled has gone straight into your own pocket. How could you cup with something so
twisted?"
Quinn's face drained of color, like she'd been struck by lightning. How could they possibly know? Even if Clara
had blabbed, why would the Bradford family believe Clara over her?
Ryan pulled out the video, his expression full of disgust. "The news of you plotting with those men last night is all
over the place. Mom was watching your live stream when your fake extortion call cin. Dad's bedridden
because of this. What more do you want? Now you're playing the victim card again, trying to drag Clara down
with you. I'm telling you now-I won't trust you ever again!"
Quinn quickly realized the whole thing had been live-streamed the night before. No wonder no one from the
Bradford family cto help her. She glared at Clara with pure hatred. It was Clara who had streamed
everything. Clara had known all along about her ties to that man.
If Clara hadn't meddled, none of this would have happened. Quinn was trembling, but her mind was racing. The
Bradford family was furious. They'd never believe her now. Even if she was genuinely assaulted, they'd think she
was putting on a show again.
Her situation had flipped, just like Clara's once was where everything she said was wrong. Quinn suddenly fell
silent, turning to the police. "I'm sorry, | was confused. It's a family matter. You can go now."
Clara was a bit taken aback. She could see Quinn had been through something awful last night, but even in this
tense moment, after a brief breakdown, she managed to regain her composure quickly. Her resilience was
remarkable.
The police sensed something fishy and slowly put the handcuffs away. "If this happens again, we'll have to arrest
you." As they left, they discussed how the woman put on quite the show. Seems is just part of high
society.
After the police left, the room fell silent once more. Quinn turned and walked away. Sticking around would only
lead to more disdain. As she approached the elevator, she saw Clara stepping in too.
Clara expected her to lash out, but Quinn just quietly muttered, "I won't let this
go."
Clara found it amusing and didn't respond. The elevator stopped on the first floor, and Quinn quickly stepped
out, turning back with eyes blazing with hatred. "Clara, | won't let this slide. We're not done."
Her hatred was palpable. If looks could kill, Clara would be long gone. But Clara wasn't afraid of Quinn.
