“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.
