"Michelle?" Selene called, her voice sounding like a heartbroken person. Everyone saw the both of them as besties so she needed to y that part well.


    Selene wasn’t the least bit surprised that Michelle was part of the scheme. After seeing her hanging out with Edna and Miranda a few times, Selene had already predicted that they were plotting something.


    "Were you part of their n?" Selene asked, tears pooling in her eyes.


    Kace saw Selene, and he couldn’t help but chuckle lightly so that no one would hear him.


    ’She’s such a good actress,’ he thought to himself.


    Michelle immediately shook her head as she looked at everyone one at a time, but they were already giving her the judging look she wanted to avoid, which was why she hid. She still wanted to maintain her image of an innocent person.


    "I didn’t do anything, she’s lying against me. I wouldn’t do that to Selene, she’s my friend," she lied, trying to defend herself.


    Michelle had always portrayed herself as a pure angel who wouldn’t hurt a fly. She had a clean reputation with no scandal all the years of her career, which led a few people to find it impossible to believe that she was part of the n.


    "I didn’t do it. That’s such a disgusting thing they had nned against Selene, and I wouldn’t dare be a part of it, I swear," she continued to defend herself, tears already dropping from her eyes to make herself look pitiful.


    Edna gritted her teeth, her anger surging through her body. She immediately regretted not recording their conversation with Michelle when she was spilling out the things Selene had done to her, and the reason she wanted to take her revenge. Now that Michelle was denying the usation, she didn’t know what to do to bring her down along with her.


    "Then what about the snake you were talking about earlier?" Liam asked her.


    He had been quietly watching the show and hadn’t said a word.


    "You screamed out earlier at the party that Selene sent you a text about a snake being in her room, so we all rushed there," he added.


    "What?" Those were the only things Michelle could say, feeling the hair at her back stand on their ends while a dark storm hovered above her head.


    "If you are not part of them, show us the text Selene sent you saying there was a snake in her room?" Liam requested, his expression calm.


    Her heart skipped a beat at the realization that there was no way she was going to be able to defend herself anymore.


    She had faked everything. There was no text and there was no snake.


    She heard murmurs around her and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger.


    Not only was Selene able to evade their traps, but she wouldn’t be able to defend herself from the usation Edna was pinning on her.


    She nced at Edna, noticing the smirk that had pulled up on thetter’s lips.


    "Michelle, I thought we were friends. How could you do such a thing to me?" Selene asked, an unbelievable look on her face.


    Everyone started feeling pity for Selene. She thought that Michelle was her friend but was betrayed.


    The ones who also thought that Michelle didn’t have a hand in what happened red at her.


    "And so what? Did you think that I was your friend? You disgust me, Selene! You are a thief! You stole my role and stole Xavier from me, that’s why I hate you so much. You were supposed to have been raped by those men, but somehow, you managed to escape it," Michelle spouted uncontrobly, the same thing that Edna was regretting at the moment.


    "Michelle!!" Xavier yelled. For the first time in his life, he had the sudden urge to hit a woman, but he restrained himself.


    Michelle felt her heart skip a beat in fear but she didn’t think that Xavier would cklist her like he did with Edna and Miranda. She believed she was safe.


    "Watch your tongue," Xavier warned.


    Everyone has been surprised by Michelle’s outburst. She didn’t expect her tosh out like that, revealing her inner hatred towards Selene. They had always thought Michelle was a humble woman, but after her attitude, they didn’t know what to think of her anymore.


    "Michelle, how could you?" Selene asked, her eyes red from crying too much.


    Even Xavier was amazed at how much Selene was tearing up effortlessly.


    "We were never friends! And do you know who revealed those rumors about you? I was," Michelle revealed without batting an eysh.
