“Isn't that the dress Ms. Uber wore during the affair?”
“That's right!”
Helena smiled and said in a composed manner, “Actually, it was my assistant that went to look for Venti that night.
Her back and mine look similar. We are about the same height and size, so the person that spread the rumor
thought she was me!”
A reporter couldn't help but ask, “Ms. Uber, are you telling the truth?”
Helena narrowed her eyes and shot her assistant a warning look. The assistant gritted her teeth and courageously
turned to face the reporter.
She took a deep breath, looking very determined.
Never in her life had she ever stood under the spotlight so bravely. Previously, she always hid in a corner. She was
always just Helena's punching bag and a humble employee.
At that moment, Helena wanted her to bear the consequences of her affair with the director and take the fall. She
pushed for her assistant to become the target of hate of thousands of netizens.
Her assistant's heart became cold and hard.
Her whole body was as cold as if it had been plunged into ice-cold water and just brought back up to the land.
“I am Helena's assistant, Esme Pearson.” Looks-wise, Esme could not compare to Helena. She was only pretty in an
average way at best. Esme continued, “I understand that Helena has caused a huge uproar in the last few days
because of the controversy of the affair. It has caused a heated discussion on the Internet, and Helena's reputation
has been adversely affected.”
As Helena stood by Esme's side and listened to the words she spoke, a trace of a smile appeared on her lips.
Indeed, money makes the world go round.
As long as the price was right, she could make this girl do anything she wanted.
Those who wanted to defame her could only dream about it because she would not go down without a fight.
Helena thought she was destined to have her feet firmly planted in showbiz.
She rejoiced in her heart. Just as she was drawing out the blueprints for the future in her mind, Esme's words
suddenly took a sharp turn.
“This is the truth of what happened that night!” Esme looked at Helena with a blanched expression. The look in her
eyes was very suggestive and foreboding.
However, Esme suddenly smiled at Helena. It was a very meaningful smile.
Before Helena realized what was going on, Esme continued to speak. “This dress that I have on was forced onto me
by Helena. It's not even my dress. That night, she did in fact go look for Frank, and they did have an affair. In order
to cover up her mistake, Helena bribed me with 50 thousand. She forced me to take her place so that she can save
her dying image and reputation!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstantly, Helena's face fell and she glared at Esme in disbelief. “Do you know what you're saying? What nonsense
are you spouting? How dare you accuse me like this! The person that night was clearly you!” she shrieked as she
pinched Esme's arm frantically as if she was trying to rip it off.
Whatever image Helena had as the golden girl or showbiz sweetheart was all promptly tossed out the window at
that moment.
She was so mad that she could strangle Esme to death. Lifting her captivating eyes which were now filled with
violent hatred, she yelled, “Do you want your mom to die in the hospital? How could you do this? How could you
betray me?”
Everyone present at the scene, including the media and reporters, were all shocked by the turn of events.
The clicking and flashing of the cameras were going off nonstop on Helena and Esme.
One reporter could not help but yelp out in revelation, “Oh my goodness!”
Esme shoved Helena away and faced the roaring media and reporters. “Did you guys see that? This is who she
really is. She is not even human! Everything you know of her is a facade. A complete lie!”
“Esme, you'd better watch your mouth. What the hell are you trying to do?”
Helena's head was buzzing. This b*tch Esme actually turned on me and stabbed me in the back!
Glaring at her with a pair of spiteful eyes, Helena lowered her voice and spoke through a clenched jaw. “Esme, do
you not care about your mom's life anymore? Don't forget, it was my money that has been keeping her alive for
the last two years!”
