Marie wanted to retort but was stopped by the headmaster.
He frowned, glanced around the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on Victoria.
"Victoria, tell me about what's going on."
Victoria told him everything in detail.
With so many people present, she said it objectively and fairly. She didn't exaggerate or lie.
Shew frowned after he heard all of those.
"So, Jessica, is it correct that, you think, Natalia stole the original draft of your design five years ago and tonight she wanted to shake her crime and then frame you again, so you sent Marie here to steal the draft back. Am I right?"
Jessica was stunned.
After a while, she took a deep breath.
She knew that it was useless to argue at this time.
She could only say, "I admit that I did unintentionally mention it to her before. My sister took away my original draft and might use it to frame me, but I didn't ask her to steal it back for me."
"I didn't expect her to do that tonight. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have agreed."
The headmaster raised his hand and interrupted her.
He turned to look at Natalia and asked, "What about you? What's your explanation?"
Natalia sneered.
"You said I've stolen your original draft... Jessica, tell me, when did I steal it?"
Jessica frowned.
"How do I know?"
"You don't even know it yourself. Why do you tell others so casually to frame me?"
Jessica was stunned.
After a while, she took another deep breath and suddenly showed a smile.
"Okay, let's just take it as my fault and I wronged you this time. I apologize to you here. But it was you who did it five years ago, wasn't it! I was just worried that you would frame me by all means as before because of what happened in the past. I was a little sensitive. Is it also my fault to be too sensitive?"
Jessica said with a smug smile.
Even if Natalia forced Marie to say that she had stepped into the relationship between Natalia and Shawn, so what?
In the world of love, the one who was not loved was the one who stepped in!
After all, now she understood.
Obviously, what Natalia had said to her in the banquet hall was just to deceive her.
Huh! She had already destroyed that original draft. There was no original draft in the world!
As long as she held on to what happened five years ago, no matter how capable Natalia was, it would be impossible for her to turn the tables.
As expected, the people's gossip around them changed again.
"It's reasonable. If I was set up like this before, I would also be worried. It's normal for Jessica to suspect Natalia."
"Is this called post-traumatic stress disorder?"
"What's wrong with this family? It's getting more and more chaotic."
Hearing this, even the headmaster frowned.
He also knew what happened that year, but after so many years, nobody should remember this already!
However, he didn't say anything. He just glanced at Natalia.
With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Natalia said slowly word by word, "I remember that I have never said that it was me five years ago."
There was a moment of silence.
