Chapter 38 The Apology

Lillian glared at Brayden, who had turned against her in an instant, cursing him repeatedly in her mind. "Oh?" Clara turned her gaze meaningfully towards Lillian, her eyes narrowing. "Mr. Patel, is what you said true? Did Ms. Baker specifically hire someone to ruin me?" The barrage of questions made it almost impossible for Lillian to keep her smile intact. The eyes of the surrounding crowd were now filled with disdain as they looked at her. "It's her!" Brayden pointed at Lillian, desperately trying to distance himself from the situation. It was as if he was terrified Clara might retaliate against him later. "There must be some misunderstanding. That wasn't my intention. I only brought Brayden here because he wanted to see Sovereign. I had no idea things would turn out like this." Lillian sighed, speaking in a voice laden with grievance, as she played a recording she had prepared on her phone. The recording captured Brayden at the door, denying any acquaintance with Sovereign.
