Observing Wilhelmina’s phone, Mia asked, “Who’s calling you? Why aren’t you answering?”
“Why does it matter to you who I speak with?” Wilhelmina retorted.
Dismissing Mia, she hastily stepped outside to take the call. “Ms. Barrett, is there something wrong?”
“Why did the trending Tweet lose traction? What happened with your strategy? Weren’t you bragging
about
having a well–connected friend in the media?
“If you can’t handle this minor issue, you might as well forget about the Chanel bag you were eyeing
yesterday.
**Shelly retorted.
“I apologize, Ms. Barrett. I’ll make a call right away to gather more information.” After ending the call,
Wilhelmina hastily dialed her friend’s number, but there was no answer.
Impatience welled up within her. “Why isn’t anyone answering? Have they all decided to ignore me out
of the
blue?” She wondered.
“So, you’re the one behind this,” Mia exclaimed abruptly, standing close and attentively listening to
every word

from Wilhelmina.
With a cold expression, Mia locked eyes with Wilhelmina and asserted, “Let’s be honest, Wilhelmina.
You were
the one who administered the drugs to Keegan, weren’t you?
“And now, you’re shifting all the blame onto me!”
As Mia concluded her words, Wilhelmina’s face paled with fear. “Mia, when did you get here? And why
were
you eavesdropping on my phone call?”
“Since you mentioned Ms. Barrett, I’ve been here all along. So, tell me–did you and Shelly hatch this
scheme
together?”
bly wasn’t
Mia’s suspicions from the start seemed to be on point. If Shelly was implicated, Maya probably
innocent either.
Initially disconcerted, Wilhelmina swiftly regained her composure upon noticing the absence of people
around.
“Mia, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I did speak with Ms. Barrett just now, but it was
regarding design matters. Could there be a misunderstanding?”
As long as there was no evidence, Wilhelmina wasn’t about to confess to anything.
“Wilhelmina, perhaps you should take a look in the mirror; the guilt on your face is unmistakable.
“I’m on the verge of contacting the police, and there’s a possibility you could face imprisonment for
spreading false rumors. I won’t hesitate to pursue legal action against you.”
Mia maintained a firm grip on her phone, her gaze unwavering as she confronted the visibly uneasy
Wilhelmina.

“Unless you want the police involved, you must publicly clarify this situation and offer an apology
immediately!
“Mia exclaimed.
The mention of the police intensified Wilhelmina’s unease, and she felt a lump in her throat.
Sensing Wilhelmina’s hesitation, Mia spoke up. “Just tell me who’s behind all this, and I won’t hold you
accountable.”
With Shelly and Maya pushing the boundaries, Mia wasn’t going to turn a blind eye to their actions.
Nonetheless, Mia needed Wilhelmina’s cooperation to navigate the situation.
Just then, Felix walked over.
Upon spotting him, Wilhelmina hastily defended herself, saying, “Why should I apologize? This has
nothing to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdo with me. I’m not the one responsible for this mess.”
“Wilhelmina, this is your last chance to come clean,” Mia retorted.
“What do you mean by ‘last chance‘? I’m not the one who orchestrated any of this Mia, your
inappropriate
actions have led us to this point!
“Perhaps it would be wise for you to publicly clarify that this is a personal matter, entirely unrelated to
our studio, and extend a sincere apology to all the women on our team!”
A subtle chill flickered in Mia’s eyes. She decided to refrain from pushing further, sensing Wilhelmina’s
uncooperative stance.
At that moment, Felix intervened. “Alright, enough of the quarreling. I’ve already reported the incident to
the
police, and they will take care of it.
“Let’s exercise some patience in the coming days. I’m confident the truth will be revealed soon.”
Wilhelmina couldn’t shake off the anxiety triggered by the mention of the police.
Unbeknownst to her, Mia had recently received information from Nathan, exposing the true identity
behind the false accusations.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, Mia felt compelled to approach Wilhelmina and offer her a
second chance, acknowledging that Wilhelmina had unwittingly been manipulated as a pawn in the
situation.
However, Wilhelmina’s brazen attitude compelled Mia to rethink the idea of extending that opportunity.
