Chapter 2308 A reporter asked, “Ms. Larson, you‘ve been photographed with Mr. Knowles at the hotel and were naked. How do you explain that?” Another reporter cut in. “Now they‘ve shown evidence, and Ms. Vanderbilt has decided to take you to court. Are you trying to distance yourself, so you don‘t have to face the consequences?”
Sophie‘s face was pale as she balled up her fist. “This really has nothing to do with me. I don‘t even know Mr. Knowles.” A reporter asked, “Did he ask you to clarify things?” Another chimed in. “Are you being threatened?”
Sophie took a deep breath and clenched her jaw. “I said no, I don‘t know him. Someone hired me to act out what happened at the hotel to frame Mr. Knowles.”
The scene immediately fell quiet.
The flashes continued to shine on her, and she couldn‘t run away. Sophie lowered her head in shame and started crying, “I‘m sorry! I shouldn‘t have framed Mr. Knowes, but I really don‘t know him at all. I‘m not a homewrecker. I‘m being framed.”
The reporters continued asking.
“You said someone hired you. Who was it?”
Sophie bit her lip. “I... All I know is that she‘s an actress in a movie with Ms. Vanderbilt. She asked me to take off my clothes and wait in the hotel room. She even got some reporters there. Once Mr. Knowles showed up, the rumors would spread.” The reporters chattered among themselves.
So, the ‘homewrecker‘ was someone else, and this woman was just a honey trap but messed with the wrong people?
At that moment, someone got up on stage. “I have the video surveillance recording of that night. I can prove that Mr. Knowles was wrongly accused.” The man controlled the screen, and the footage was played. Everyone watched it unfold with the timestamp in sight.
The reporters immediately went into a frenzy.
The man then exposed Nollace‘s text. “Before Mr. Knowles went to Room 6221, he received a text like this. Ms. Vanderbilt had to stay in water for prolonged periods in winter because another actress wasn‘t cooperating She almost drowned as a result of that. Mr. Knowles was looking into this when someone used it to lure him over to the hospital. That was how he fell for it.”
