Chapter 145 Daphne Changed
When Eliana visited Greta, Emelie left their mother in her care and left the hospital.
Mona said she had found the person who started the rumor. “Do you still remember Cecile Ziegler?”
Emelie thought the name sounded familiar. “Is it the girl who shared a room with us back in university?” she asked.
“Yes! That’s her! She was the one who had her dirty socks everywhere. Whenever it was her turn to clean, she’d stay outside and not come back. She was the weirdo who would leave her tissues in the toilet and not flush it away!”
Emelie was surprised. “Was she the one who made the post?”
“I’m certain of it! In her latest post, she said she was meeting a friend for lunch. She tagged a café in a post. I bet she’s still there. Let’s go there now.”
Emelie halled a cab and called Ashley in the vehicle. She simply recounted the story and asked if she was available to visit the café with them.
It involved the law, and Emelie was worried she might say the wrong thing. It felt safer with a lawyer there.
Since Ashley was free, she agreed. Then, the three women departed from their respective locations and arrived at the café around the same time. Mona led the group and rushed inside first.
At that moment, there weren’t many people in the café. Mona was able to lock her gaze on Cecile. “Cecile Ziegler! Why are you spreading lies about Emelie on the internet?”
Meanwhile, Emelie looked at the woman sitting opposite Cecile and thought her back looked familiar.
Before Emelie figured out who the woman was, she turned toward them.
It was Daphne!
Mona immediately scolded them, “I see! You two are worlding together! I was wondering why Cecile would talk about Emelie like that for no reason. So, you’re the mastermind, bitch! Snakes!”
Cecile was clearly anxious when they found her. However, she was still stubbornly denying it. “I have no idea what you’re talling about. I’m just meeting with a friend and having some coffee.”
“Ms. Hardy, isn’t it inappropriate for you to start scolding people right after entering the cate?” Daphne asked.
Mona huffed. “This is me being polite with you, you bitch!”
Then, Daphne started a recording on her phone. “This is a law–abiding society, and we need proof to speak If you continue throwing Insults at me, I’ll hire a lawyer. Then, I’ll get you to apologize for accusing me.”
Emelle thought that Daphine had changed a lot. She was no longer the fragile woman Emelie remembered. At that moment, Daphne was calm and collected.
Only a change in her environment or personal life would cause such a great change in a s
a short time. She was more confident now.
Emelie didn’t dare to think about where Daphne got her courage from.
She walked toward Daphne, and the latter smiled faintly. “Emelie.”
Emelle thought she had mastered the skill to stay composed. However, it seemed to her that Daphne was still better at it. If Emelie were in Daphne’s shoes, she would never be this calm and polite after they had a fallout.
Since we were able to find you, that means we have our proof. We’ve brought a lawyer. Ms. Ziegler and Ms. Bowen, feel free to ask any legal questions, and my lawyer can answer you,” Emelie said calmly.
Mona scoffed. “You’re TheDarkMoon, right? You were the one who spread the rumors about Emelie. I’ve taken a screenshot of everything, and I’ll hand them over to our lawyer. Let’s see how you’re going to defend yourself next.
Cecile was anxious. “I was just stating the truth!” she said through gritted teeth. That man was Daphne’s boyfriend. Weren’t you seducing him by riding so close
to him?”
Ashley said calmly, “Let’s forget about you forming your own opinions after seeing the footage for now. I hope you can get one thing straight. Even if there’s something between them, it isn’t something that you can use to make the Internet attack Ms. Hoven
We can sue you for invading her private life and rights whenever we want. Then, you’ll be asked to apologize and compensate for causing my client’s distress.”
Cecile panicked and quickly looked at Daphne.
Daplue stood up and gently asked, “In that case, I have something to askyou. What is the punishment for hurting and disfiguring someone intentionally?”
