Chapter 367
“What’s the matter? Do you still want IN Magazine to cover up for you? Do you think you can do whatever you want here?” Lucia questioned.
“We’re all on the same side! We should be supporting each other!” Eva insisted.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t side with you. After all, our priority is the truth!” Lucia quickly separated herself from Eva.
Eva was rendered speechless.
At that moment, Aurelia suddenly received a message.
She glanced at Eva and said, “Ms. Hanks, it seems like our discussions are for nothing since the police have already proven that I’m innocent.”
“Impossible!” shouted Eva.
“Is that so?” Aurelia asked with a raised brow.
Aurelia smiled and glanced at the door of the meeting room.
At that moment, Dennis pushed open the door and strode up to Eva and Kimberly.
“Excuse me, ladies. We need you two to come with us,” he ordered.
Eva’s face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure.
She immediately backtracked, saying, “My apologies for making you come all this way. We’ve just reviewed the surveillance footage, and it turns out that I was mistaken. I never expected Kimberly to do
something like this to frame Aurelia.”
Aurelia was taken aback. She gazed at Eva incredulously. How could she change her tune
so quickly?
Kimberly was also taken aback momentarily before responding, “Eva, what are you talking about? It was clearly you-”
Eva cut her off, saying, “It’s my fault. No wonder Kimberly turned up to the photoshoot as well when our company specifically requested Aurelia. It turns out that Kimberly had already devised a plan to deal with Aurelia.”
“Eva, didn’t you claim that you didn’t see the wire? Why are you backtracking now?”
Dennis asked.
“I genuinely didn’t see it because Kimberly was blocking my line of sight. If you don’t believe me,
ask the others who were present. None of us saw it,” she insisted.
Eva knowingly shifted the blame. If she had seen the wire, it meant everyone on the scene would have seen the wire as well. As a result, those who had given their statement. to the police would be caught lying.
Therefore, everyone could only bite the bullet and insist that they didn’t see the wire.
As for Flora, she could only lie as well. After all, she didn’t dare to help Kimberly and get in trouble for it.
Kimberly finally realized that she had been double–crossed. She shouted, “Eva! Are you trying to shift the blame now? You were clearly the one scheming against Aurelia for the sake of your backer! That’s
why you approached me in the first place!”
Eva denied it, asking, “Who is this ‘backer” you speak of? When did I ever approach you? As far as I remember, it was you who approached me on the day of the incident.
“It looked like you came to scope out the place in advance. No wonder you were the first to step up and accuse Aurelia when it happened.”
“You’re going to pay for this!” shouted Kimberly.
When Kimberly realized the severity of the situation, she immediately rushed up to attack Eva. However, Dennis quickly intervened and pulled her away.
Dennis asked again, “Why did you just happen to call for room service when Kimberly went downstairs? At that time, you were supposed to come with us to the police station. There was no need to call room service.”
Eva explained, “I called room service for the model. She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything all morning, and the shoot was suspended. I couldn’t just leave her waiting.”
“Since that’s the case, you still need to cooperate with the investigation,” said Dennis. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“I’ll definitely cooperate with the investigation. After all, I was also exploited by such a malicious person,” Eva said while feigning innocence.
After saying that, Eva glanced at Aurelia with a smug expression. It was as if she was taunting Aurelia for her lack of capability to bring her down.
Aurelia’s heart sank. She honestly didn’t expect Eva to actually escape scot–free using such devious methods.

Kimberly snapped when she found out that everything had been placed squarely on her shoulders.
“It wasn’t me! I’m not the one at fault here! It’s Eva! It’s that bitch!” she screeched.
“Now that the matter has been cleared up, we still need to proceed with our meeting. Mr. Clark, is it possible to take Kimberly out first?” Aurelia asked.
Dennis promptly gestured to those behind him and said, “Take her away.”
After that, he turned toward Eva and said, “Now that it has been proven that Kimberly set up Aurelia, are you going to withdraw your report against Aurelia? After all, you were the one who reported the necklace incident to the police.”
