Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 368

Chapter 372

'I thought there'd be a twist, but I didn't expect an entire maze of twists…'

Bella trembled so violently that she nearly dropped her microphone.

Her surgery had been done in total secrecy, and she even disguised her voice today, so how did Vania find out about this?

She was stricken with fear and the voice inside her head kept repeating, I'm done for.

Melanie froze as well as a chill ran down her spine. She was on edge as she waited to hear what Vania would say next.

However, Bella's terror somehow made her bolder, albeit taking leave of her senses too. She gritted her teeth and berated Vania, "How dare you call me a fake? What gives you the right?"

She screeched at the top of her lungs until the tiny device she placed inside her mouth to change her voice fell onto the floor without her noticing.

Bella continued to put up a fight. "Where's the evidence to back up your claims that I changed my name?"

Vania raised her brows in amusement and pointed at the device on the ground. "Would that count as evidence?"

Bella glanced at it and her eyes nearly popped out.

Melanie tried her best to catch Bella's attention and warn her not to say anything else, but Bella did not look at her at all.

By now, Bella forgot to keep her act up. Her expression was sinister as she screamed, "You're a b*tch, Vania Greyson! You're just trying to get back at me!"

"Oh? Is there some kind of conflict between us? It seems like you're not Esther Godwin after all," Vania chuckled.

Bella's expression changed when she realized she had dropped the facade, but she could not take it back anymore, so she screamed, "You're just trying to set me up and get back at me because I like President Luke! Hah! I'm going to expose your true colors to the entire world today!"

She turned to the live-feed camera and said behind gritted teeth, "Vania Greyson is an evil and cunning woman! She pretends to be a weak and gentle woman to gain President Luke's trust, and then she uses all sorts of heinous tactics to get rid of any woman who comes near him so that she'll be the only one who stays beside him."

Vania had not said anything, but Bella turned to her and huffed, "Did I miss out on anything?"

Vania's expression was calm as she was not at all concerned by Bella's attempts to besmirch her. "What you're saying has nothing to do with today's competition."

"I don't care if it has nothing to do with the competition. If you don't have the guts to refute me, then it means I'm right! You can't say anything in your defense because it's the truth!" Bella gloated as she believed that she had managed to turn the tables on Vania.

Vania had a faint smile, but her expression was cold. Anyone familiar with her would know that she was well and truly mad now.

However, Bella assumed that she managed to expose Vania's schemes, so she pressed on. "Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because I exposed the truth about you, so you don't even dare to defend yourself?"

Vania's expression remained neutral as she looked Bella in the eyes and said coolly, "Why should I concern myself with such ludicrous accusations? Once we've dealt with this issue regarding the competition, everyone will know the truth about what's happening right now."

Bella kept her head held high as she retorted confidently, "Fine. I can't wait to see how you get out of this. Hurry up and explain yourself then. If you don't give a satisfactory explanation about why you're causing a scene right now, I'll sue you for slander."

Bella sounded so sure of herself that everyone else began to worry about Vania instead.

On the other hand, Melanie had no idea what got into Bella. Why was she going up against Vania? Did Bella have other motives that Melanie did not know about?

All Melanie could think about right now was how to distance herself from this mess later.

Vania leveled Bella a look that seemed to signify that she would soon get what she wanted. "Soon enough, you'll be taking the stand in court."
