Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 622

Seeing that Scarlett was softening and about to forgive her, Elena spoke up again.

"So you mean to say you're shifting all the blame onto Ethan? Since you understand his temperament so well, why didn't you have people watch him properly? And why were you running around elsewhere?"

Daphne looked up at Elena. "Who do you think you are? Why are you meddling in this? I'm telling the truth. Ethan runs out all the time, and Mrs. Sinclair knows it."

Elena didn't back down. "It seems you don't want to tell the truth. You said you went back to take care of your mother-in-law, but I don't buy that! You smell like perfume. If my guess is right, you went shopping and even sampled some fragrances."

"You... you're talking nonsense! I bought this perfume a while ago. I'm used to wearing it, so what? You can't just slander me over something like this!"

"I'm not slandering you. That specific perfume is a brand-new release that LUMEN Studio launched just today, developed by a team led by their director, Sienna Hayes. Therefore, it was impossible for you to have bought it before today. Furthermore, look at your manicure. The polish is so shiny; you must have just gotten your nails done, right?"

Hearing this, Daphne immediately hid her hands behind her back.

Her guilty conscience had completely given her away!

Scarlett looked visibly disappointed. "Daphne, is what Elena saying true?"

"Daphne, do you really want me to send someone over there to ask? I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to confess on your own, or do I have to look into it myself?" Scarlett demanded.

Daphne hung her head in defeat. "Ma'am, I'm sorry. I admit I went shopping at the mall today. That's because I've been looking after Ethan for a whole month without a single day off. I just wanted to go treat myself today and relax a bit. I never expected something like this to happen. Ma'am, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied! I was wrong!"

"Mrs. Sinclair, I don't think this matter is that simple. If she did it once, she's definitely done it before. And don't forget about the injuries on Ethan's body!" Elena pointed out.

Scarlett finally remembered. "Right, what about the injuries on Ethan? Daphne, what is the meaning of this? He is covered in bruises! You need to give me an explanation!"
