Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 294

Seraphina was equally panicked.

But in this moment, she clearly didn't want to be dragged down with her, so she coldly turned her head away.

Gillian bit her lip hard, her shoulders trembling with the terrifying realization of what she had done. Yet at the same time, another intense emotion surged within her.

Her eyes flushed with a manic red. She opened her mouth, desperate to say something...

Clara narrowed her eyes and suddenly interjected, "You seem to keep looking at Ms. Shaw. Why is that?"

Gillian choked on her breath, looking up at Clara in terror.

Seraphina's face drained of color, her throat bobbing nervously.

"Now that she mentions it, yeah, she's been staring at Ms. Shaw this whole time."

"Could Ms. Shaw be the one who put her up to this?"

"Oh my God..."

The murmurs of suspicion crashed over them like a tidal wave.

Seraphina panicked, but the more panicked she became, the harder it was to form a single word.

Clara's lips quirked up in a mocking smirk.

Right then, Gillian suddenly shouted, "It's my fault! I was the one who wanted to destroy Clara's design! This has nothing to do with Seraphina Shaw. I was only looking at her just now because... I wanted to frame her and clear my own name."

Hearing this, the people nearby drew in a sharp breath.

Seraphina let out a massive sigh of relief.

Clara frowned. Only she knew that this entire confession was a blatant lie.

She stepped closer to the staff member, her voice dropping to a freezing interrogation. "Isn't that lie a bit too flimsy? You and I have no bad blood. Why would you want to destroy my design? What's your motive?"

Gillian faltered, but she forced herself to maintain eye contact. "Because I thought it was unfair!"

Clara paused.

And to get back at Clara, Seraphina must have convinced the heartbroken girl that Clara was the one who stole it, goading the girl's older sister—this very staff member—into sabotaging her.

A wave of utter disgust washed over Clara. she shot a freezing glare at Seraphina. Seraphina, however, acted completely unfazed, curling her lips as if to say: *You can't touch me!*

Gillian was completely hysterical. Fortunately, she didn't have a microphone, so the audience couldn't hear what she was screaming about. Otherwise, the organizers' reputation would have been completely ruined.

The other contestants watched her with complicated expressions. They were all members of high society. Using connections to take things from others was just business as usual for them. None of them could truly claim to have clean hands.

But in this moment, they felt a heavy sense of guilt, because this woman's tears were just... too tragic.

Chloe, the host, felt a twinge of sympathy, but to keep the broadcast running smoothly, she signaled the security guards to come up and drag the hysterical woman away.

Then, flashing her professional smile, she explained to the audience, "Apologies for that. We had a minor incident with two people slipping and falling, but the show must go on!"

"The judges have finalized their scores. Now, let's welcome Anna Vaught to announce the first-place winner of this year's championship!"

The audience, completely oblivious to the truth, erupted into passionate cheers.
