Chapter 146
Even though she was continuously comforting herself, Monica couldn’t help but shudder uncontrollably.
Seeing Monica in this state, Thomas couldn’t help but say, “Monica, don’t be scared. Having a video only means that everyone can know the truth, right?”
Monica didn’t respond, but the beads of sweat on her forehead became even more pronounced.
Something about Monica’s reaction seemed off.
Thomas was stunned for a moment, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind.
Could it be….
No, it couldn’t be.
Although Monica sometimes acted inappropriately, she had a good heart. She couldn’t possibly be framing Susan with this kind of scheme.
She wasn’t that kind of person.
“Thomas, come over here and take a look,” Susan suddenly glanced at Thomas. “If everything is fine, I plan to post this video on Twitter directly. This way, I can avoid being unjustly accused by some.”
What?
Post it on Twitter?
Given Susan’s current popularity online, if she really uploaded the video, a sinking feeling instantly hit Monica.
Then, her reputation would be utterly ruined.
Thomas noticed Monica’s suddenly pale face and pressed his lips together slightly. Standing up, he intended to go and check.
“No!” Monica suddenly grabbed Thomas’s hand firmly.
“What’s wrong?” Thomas’s voice was still gentle, but his face had hardened.
However, Susan’s expression remained unchanged, her head nodding continuously as she pointed at the screen, instructing, “Right here, zoom in a bit.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Mr. Witt played along, feigning some adjustments.
Susan observed seriously, nodding her head now and then.
Witnessing the duo’s act, beads of sweat began to form on Monica’s forehead.
There’s a video?
“No, that can’t be,” Monica thought, her heart pounding violently. “There’s no such coincidence. Susan must be bluffing.”

Chapter 146:
“Monica, please don’t tell me you’ve lied to me,” he thought.
“L… I…” Monica hesitated, unable to find the right words.

Susan raised an eyebrow, “Well, I might as well just post it then. Mr. Witt, please send me a copy of the video.”
Mr. Witt agreed and was about to copy the video.
Pulling out her phone, Susan assumed a posture that showed she was ready to post the video on Twitter as soon as she received it.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, as soon as this video is out, netizens will definitely know what you are,” Theresa said with a face full of malicious joy.
Her words pierced straight into Monica’s heart.
A flicker of panic passed through Monica’s eyes.
No, she absolutely couldn’t let Susan upload that video.
With a sudden move, Monica stood up, intending to snatch the USB drive from Mr. Witt’s hand.
“Ms. Lynn, what are you trying to do?” Mr. Witt dodged swiftly.
Susan raised an eyebrow and grabbed her hand firmly, “Weren’t you the one insisting that! pushed you? If I upload the video, everyone can help you condemn me. Isn’t this a good thing for you?”
“I… I…” Monica was at a loss, forcing herself to say, “I… I just don’t want to make this a big deal. It won’t be good for your reputation.”
Still not admitting it?
Susan scoffed coldly, “Thank you for your concern, but I don’t mind.”
De your pho
“Mrs. Landor, give I’ll help you transfer it,” the director said.
“Alright.” Susan unlocked her phone and handed it over to the director without hesitation. “Log into my Twitter and upload it directly.”
“Okay.” Mr. Witt took the phone and started operating it on the side.
Monica watched helplessly, wanting to rush over to stop it, but her hand was firmly held by Susan, making it impossible to break free.
Panic surged in Monica’s heart.
She had just returned and had barely managed to find a steady footing in the circle of the elite again. If this video got uploaded… would she have any reputation left to speak of?
Thomas observed Monica’s frantic demeanor, and even though he was reluctant to believe it, deep down, he already knew the answer.
He looked at Monica’s face, once pure and innocent, which used to be his favorite sight.
But now, it only seemed foreign to him, and even… somewhat terrifying.
“The transfer is complete, I’m uploading it now,” the director said, holding the phone.
“Wait!” Monica finally couldn’t hold back, shouting out loud.
“Wait? Alright, tell me again, what exactly happened earlier?” Susan asked, her face emotionless as she stared at her.
Biting her lip, Monica spoke with a face flushed with shame, “You… you didn’t push me. I fell down by accident.”–
“Just an accident?” Susan said with a cold smirk.
Monica stood her ground defiantly, “Don’t go too far.”
“Mr. Witt…” Susan began to turn and call.
“Wait, wait, wait.” Monica became frantic, gritting her teeth as she spoke, “It was me… I intentionally fell to frame you. It was me, all me. Is this satisfactory?”
Susan flashed a smile, calmly letting go of Monica’s hand.
She glanced at Thomas, “So now, the truth is out in the open, isn’t it?”
Thomas‘ lips trembled, unable to speak for a long moment.
Monica hung her head, not daring to look at Thomas‘ expression.
“Can you delete the video now?” she asked in a soft voice.

Susan raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Witt, show her the video.”
Mr. Witt came over cheerfully, holding the camcorder.
He turned on the device and Monica widened her eyes to watch.

However, all the footage in the camcorder was of Rose filming an advertisement, there was no video of her falling into the water at all.
Monica was stunned for a moment before she realized the deception.
She couldn’t help but shriek, “Susan, there was no video at all, you tricked me, you actually
tricked me!”
She turned to Thomas, “Thomas, I didn’t try to frame her deliberately. She pushed me down! She threatened me, which is why I…”
Thomas quietly watched Monica’s performance. After a while, he asked, “Do I look like a fool?”
Monica froze, a sudden ominous feeling in her heart. “What do you mean?” she asked.
Thomas let out a bitter smile, “I can’t blame you. Perhaps, I have been a fool from the beginning. Monica, from now on, don’t contact me anymore.”
He turned around, walking out calmly.
At the exit, he turned to Susan, sincerely apologizing, “I’m sorry.”
Then, without looking back, he left.
“Thomas!” Monica’s eyes contracted suddenly, feeling a dull ache in her heart.
She could sense that this time, Thomas truly intended to let her go.
But how could this be?
Since Thomas loved her, he should stick with her till the end.
Even if she didn’t reciprocate his feelings, he should be understanding and forgiving.
How could he abandon her halfway?
Monica yelled Thomas‘ name at the top of her lungs. But Thomas had already left, without
turning back.
Suddenly feeling weak in her legs, Monica collapsed to the ground, numb.
However, everyone at the scene had seen her true colors. They cast her a disdainful glance, and then began to whisper scornful remarks amongst themselves, with no one intending to help her up.
“Alright, take a ten–minute break, then we continue filming,” Mr. Witt said calmly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Susan hurried to thank him, “Mr. Witt, thank you for cooperating with me.”
Mr. Witt waved it off, his expression full of disdain, “I’ve seen all sorts of things in the entertainment industry. To be honest, Ms. Lynn’s antics just now were simply…”
He shook his head, his face conveying a sense of being at a loss for words.
