Dayana slammed the table, snapping, "Arya, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Arya's face drained of color as she hurriedly replied, "Please don't listen to Rosalynn. | didn't do it!"

How could she salvage this situation?

Things were about to be exposed!

"You can check the surveillance footage and question the waiter from the kitchen yesterday," Rosalyn suggested casually.

Arya glared at Rosalynn.

“Rosalyn, if you're claiming that | set up both you and Chaz, then why are you two sitting here unharmed?"

Rosalynn raised her eyebrows, glancing at Brian, who was leisurely sipping his tea.

"Because Brian was both wise and quick to act. As soon as he uncovered your scheme, he immediately gave Chaz and me a tranquilizer to avoid being implicated by your plot.”

Brian was at a loss for words.

He hadn't anticipated that he would become part of the story.

Had Rosalynn mentioned him because she didn't want others to know she was skilled in medicine?

"Yes. | hastily removed Rosalynn from the scene last night, not having time to consider anything else. Today, I'm here to settle the score with you." Brian set down his teacup and stared coldly at Arya.

Arya swallowed, seeking Baxter's help.

With a stormy expression, Baxter suddenly raised his hand and slapped Arya forcefully.

“Arya, what possessed you to do such a thing?”

Arya stumbled and fell.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she touched her reddened, swollen cheek.

"|... was just so anxious at the time. | feared Dayana would become too fond of Rosalynn and we'd lose the contract."

She knew that as long as Baxter pinned the blame on her, they still had a chance to secure the contract.

As angry she was, she could only bear it.

“Why must you be so stupid? I've told you to conduct yourself properly in business and not to resort to tricks. How could you disregard my instructions?"
