Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 101

Hence, it would also be proof if his assistant could come and verify it.

Then again, Melanie didn’t even know Mr. Wright had an assistant, so how was she going to have him come over?! With that, she lied, “Mr. Wright’s assistant is occupied right now. He won’t be able to come.”

“You have no real evidence or the person to testify to it, so how can you speak off the cuff and throw mud on me?” Vania sneered. “Let the police deal with this. I’m sure justice will be served.”

She had said prior to this event that she’d use Mr. Wright’s work.

Since Melanie had Mr. Wright’s so-called work on her phone, then she must have had prepared it in advance to win the number one spot. However, the investigation led to her files for some reason.

It seemed that this exposure wasn’t premeditated, but instead planned on a whim when she saw the design of her advertisement.

Even if she didn’t accuse Vania of plagiarizing, Melanie would surely find other excuses to create a dispute. As such, Vania was certain Melanie wanted to catch her off guard and use this event to ruin her reputation.

It was too bad she missed one thing despite her elaborate scheme.

With that, she calmly watched as Melanie panicked progressively on stage, completely unruffled.

On the other hand, Melanie immediately rejected the idea of leaving it to the police. “No way.”

Right then, she jumped out of Vania’s thought loop and retorted, “I’m reporting you now. You should be the one trying to prove yourself instead of constantly questioning my relationship with Mr. Wright. I have the right to question any suspicious acts during the competition.”

Melanie figured this would be a piece of cake as long as Vania couldn’t prove herself.

However, Vania sneered and retorted, “There’s simply no need for us to waste time and argue with each other. After all, there are still a lot of contestants waiting behind you. However, since you insist on a justification, I’ll give you one in front of everyone. Keep in mind that I’ll definitely hold you accountable for all that happens next, so you better get ready to bear the consequences.”

The netizens hadn’t registered what Vania meant at this point as they still vilified her.

‘Is she resorting to threats now that she can’t prove herself?’

‘This is blatant intimidation!’

‘Let’s see how she’ll justify herself. I support Melanie. End plagiarism!’

Melanie, however, thought she had seen through Vania.

Surely Vania wouldn’t be able to bring anything forward when she didn’t have any proof herself. Of course, she didn’t quite get what Vania meant. As if anything serious will come up next. So what if I fail to testify against you? I have the right as a contestant. Besides, I can just say that I’ve been duped!

With a plan in mind, Melanie said confidently, “Fine.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, then.” It would be the best-case scenario. Following that, Vania nimbly dialed a number. Her phone’s screen was still displayed on the big screen, so everyone could see the caller ID—Wyatt Lestrange.

It was no secret that Wyatt was Mr. Wright’s assistant, but nobody expected that Vania would call him first.

At that, everyone held their breaths as they waited for Wyatt to accept the call.

The call was picked up in two shakes as a weary voice echoed through the hall, saying, “What do you want me to do this time, Boss?”

It was apparent to everyone that the person on the other end of the line was whining a little.

More than that, Mr. Wright’s assistant actually called Vania ‘Boss’ and even spoke familiarly to her! His words obviously proved that they kept in touch and that Vania constantly assigned him tasks.
