He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 568

By now, a crowd of pedestrians had gathered around the restaurant entrance, drawn by the screaming match.

Before Corinne could finish her threat, Scarlett took two sharp steps forward. Her intense, dominant aura made Corinne shrink back instinctively.

"I understand you're upset about your daughters, Corinne, but I refuse to let you throw baseless accusations at me!"

"Why were they locked up? Because they hosted an illegal underground party and were caught doing hard drugs! What does that have to do with me? Did I hold a gun to their heads and force them to get high?!"

"This was literally front-page news across all of Bay City. Everyone knows about it, and the photos are everywhere. Which one of your eyes saw me at that party?!"

"And as for them getting bullied in lockup—why on earth would you assume I ordered it? Do you have zero self-awareness about how many powerful people they pissed off with their little stunt?!"

"I suggest you watch your mouth and stop slandering me in public, or I will collect evidence and sue you for defamation!"

Scarlett delivered her points with lethal precision. The onlookers instantly realized what was going on.

Melanie and Sylvia's drug bust had been massive news. The media hadn't bothered to blur their faces. With Bay City currently in the middle of a massive crackdown on illegal drugs, the public was heavily supportive of the police and fiercely disgusted by drug abusers.

As Scarlett spoke, the crowd's eyes zeroed in on Melanie and Sylvia. Despite their heavy makeup and designer clothes, their faces were instantly recognizable from the news.

"Oh my god, it's them! The ones who threw that massive drug party!"

"What kind of twisted mother is this? She raised two junkies and has the nerve to blame someone else for it?!"
