Cleo snorted, "I have nothing to talk about with you. I won't withdraw what I've said even though you give me money!"
"I never intend to give you money," said Angela.
Hearing it, Cleo was annoyed with a blush even though Angela didn't scold or satirize her and she didn't know how to contradict her.
"Do you mind if we move to another place? As the stairs are behind me, both my baby and I feel scared," said Angela and took Luna towards the door of the stairwell before the reporters could respond.
Pointing at Luna and Angela, Cleo shouted, "They want to escape!"
Hearing it, the reporters hurried to surround them.
Glancing coldly at the reporters, Angela said nothing and asked, "Can you repeat what the Chante family has done to you? I almost forget it as there are so many charges on the Chante family."
"I'm a relative of your family. Aunt Elva and Uncle Lorenzo knew that I didn't have a job, so they want to hire me as a maid in the Chante family. I agreed as I thought they looked kind."
"However, after I came to the house of your family, they changed their attitude and was mean to me! Your brother is a playboy and even wanted to rape me. Fortunately, I struggled fiercely and stopped him!"
Hearing it, Luna was shocked by the shamelessness of Cleo and wanted to say something, but stopped by Angela.
Thinking that Angela was frightened, Cleo said more vigorously, "As for you, you would scold or beat me as long as you were unsatisfied with me! You punished me to kneel and eat the food falling on the ground, treating me like a dog!"
Cleo turned to look at the reporters and sighed, "They were even so mean to a relative like me, let alone others. The people of the Chante family were all brutes!"
After hearing what Cleo said, Angela clapped.
Seeing that, all the people, including Luna, were confused.
'Why does Angela clap?'
"It's a pity that Miss Cleo isn't a screenwriter," satirized Angela.
With a frown, Cleo said loudly, "Stop being mystifying! Everybody, I promise everything I've said is true!"
"Really?" smiled Angela, "You are actually not a relative of our family, are you? Your parents are just unfamiliar neighbors of my father in his hometown."
"You are talking nonsense!" said Cleo with a look of panic on her face, "Why would you have hired me as a maid if I'm not your relative?"
"Because the people in your family like speaking ill of others. Fearing that your families and you would speak ill of our family, my mother agreed to take you to our house."
Glancing around at the reporters, Angela said, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate Cleo's family at her hometown."
"Even...even though I'm not a relative of your family. You can't change the truth that your brother wanted to rape me and you beat...and scolded me!" stammered Cleo as she didn't expect that Angela could expose her lies.
The reporters looked at Angela for explanation.
"You have no evidence to prove that my brother wanted to rape you. But I have no evidence to prove that you lied either."
