Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Two-Level Reversal
First, Winifred Drew instigated Joan Lentz to expose Xaviera Evansâs cheating in the competition, and then provoked Madam Rome to slander Xaviera as a mistress. These two incidents showed that Winifred was determined to ruin Xavieraâs reputation, which was no joke.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "I heard about the calligraphy competition! Joan Lentz slandered a participant and Lance Steel monopolized the participantâs work. The two of them collaborated to frame her. It turns out the participant was Mrs. Mamet!"
Once someone mentioned this, others began to echo, "Yes, I remember Page Uland was also present at the scene, and he said that the participant was his last disciple. So, it seems that Mrs. Mamet is Mr. Ulandâs disciple! Doesnât this mean Winifred Drew deliberately framed Mrs. Mamet?"
"The conversation in the recording is clear. Winifred deliberately guided Joan Lentz to expose Mrs. Mametâs cheating and let Lance Steel monopolize the work. If Mr. Uland hadnât arrived in time, Mrs. Mametâs reputation couldnât have been cleared even if she jumped into the river."
As for the Madam Rome mentioned in the recording, the noblewomen present were no strangers to her. A well-dressed noblewoman scoffed, "That Madam Rome must be the one who believes her son is the best in the world and unmatched, right? Sheâs quite infamous in our circle of noble ladies."
"Does she have a brain at all? Would Mrs. Mamet be interested in her idiotic son with her looks and talent? Besides, Mrs. Mamet is already married, and I heard Mr. Caleb Mamet dotes on her very much. With such a handsome and wealthy husband, would she bother to be a mistress to that useless Larry Rome?"
"Tsk, tsk... it was Winifred Drew who instigated it. She deliberately had Madam Rome slander Mrs. Mamet as a mistress, trying to ruin her reputation, and what is it all for since Winifred is the daughter of the Drew family?"
Everyone exchanged glances, seemingly arriving at an answer in their hearts.
Xaviera listened quietly as the crowd discussed. When the scene finally calmed down, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Vivian Drew and asked with a faint smile, "Iâm also very curious, Iâve never met Winifred Drew, why does she bear such animosity towards me, and try to frame me time and again?"
"Before, I was very confused and wanted to talk to the Drew family, but today I understand that the Drew family doesnât want to give me that 5% share. So they had Winifred frame me at school. Once my reputation is ruined, the Drew Corporation would issue a statement saying that someone like me doesnât deserve the Drew familyâs shares, and this bet would be void. Moreover, in this way, no one would accuse the Drew family of breaking their promise."
Listening to Xavieraâs words, Vivian Drewâs facial muscles shook. It wasnât like this! They didnât have Winifred frame her; it was all a misunderstanding!
"Oh... no wonder I heard someone say âI never thought Caleb Mamet would be such a personâ just as I walked over. Itâs because Winifredâs attempts at framing me failed, and according to the bet, you should transfer the shares to me. But you couldnât accept this, so you turned your target to Caleb, trying to ruin his reputation and force us to give up on the share transfer, right?"
"Iâm curious to ask, whose plan is this? First, frame me, then discredit Caleb. Tell me, who came up with this disgraceful scheme? Is it you, Mrs. Drew?"
Everyoneâs sharp gazes immediately fell on Vivian Drew. Winifred was just a college student and had just transferred to Libanan University, so she and Mrs. Mamet should have just met a few times, with no grievances or misunderstandings between them. Therefore, it must have been the Drew family who ordered her to do this!
And the Drew family had a reason for doing so - it could only be for the shares!
Everyone instantly understood that from the beginning to the end, it was a set-up by the Drew family. It was just that they didnât expect their two attempts to frame Mrs. Mamet would fail, so now they changed their approach by spreading rumors that Caleb was unfilial.
Knowing these facts, people couldnât help but doubt the story of Caleb causing Sir Drewâs illness. After Winifredâs failed attempt at framing, the Drew family still didnât want to fulfill the bet; so...
Like Vivian Drew, Xaviera had also arranged her own people. With a glance from her, someone immediately spoke up: "So, the question is, was Mr. Drew really sick? Even if he were sick, it shouldnât be blamed on Mr. Caleb Mamet, right? I heard Mr. Mamet has been busy dealing with the company and international conference lately; where would he have time to haggle with Mr. Drew over those shares? Could it be... self-directed and self-acted by the Drew family?"
Xaviera was satisfied with the corner of her mouth hooked up, this was the effect she wanted.
