Chapter 183:

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could they have realized she intentionally ruined the clothes Harlee had designed?

At this moment, another slap rang out.

Harlee had forcefully landed another slap on Etta’s cheek.

Harlee fixed Etta with a cold, mocking gaze.

“Why did you ruin the clothes I designed?”

Etta’s face turned red with rage.

“I didn’t! Harlee, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t just make false accusations! You can strike me, and I won’t retaliate, but you must not tarnish my reputation!”

Harlee glanced at Kane, who then presented a gray suit, charred black, before everyone.

Harlee’s eyes fixed on the suit. What a shame. It was a suit she had specially tailored for Fletcher.

However, he likely wouldn’t have appreciated it anyway.

Seeing this, Etta stood frozen, shocked. Wasn’t this the very suit she had intentionally damaged with a lighter? How did it get to the hall so quickly?

Kane explained, “Miss Sanderson prefers her room to remain private. I was on the second floor when I saw Miss Cruz exiting Miss Sanderson’s room, so I went in to check immediately.”

Etta’s face turned pale as she responded, “You’re lying! I never went into Harlee’s room.”

As Etta protested, Kane added, “Miss Sanderson’s designs for her parents and siblings were very visible. When I entered, I noticed this gray suit still smoldering, so I rushed down to inform Miss Sanderson.”

“You’re lying! Those dresses were clearly put…” Etta paused, a sudden realization dawning on her as she hastily covered her mouth.

“I didn’t… I really didn’t.”

The Sandersons understood everything now.

Skyla fought to keep her composure, her words tight with anger as she said, “Etta, why did you do such a thing?”

Etta shook her head wildly and responded, “No, it wasn’t me! It really wasn’t. Mrs. Sanderson, you must believe me. I didn’t intentionally damage Harlee’s designs. She framed me!”

“Yes, she set me up!” Etta exclaimed, her voice shaky.

Kareem’s penetrating gaze settled on Harlee. It dawned on him that the secret Harlee had mentioned that day was this.

Tsk, such childish tricks. Not clever at all. It would be up to him to straighten out the mess.

“For the first time, Harlee has only been back with the Sanderson family for just shy of two months, and you’re accusing her and Kane of plotting against you?” Kareem’s expression turned grave suddenly.

Etta’s heart pounded. The more she tried to steady herself, the more her body shook, and sweat began to bead on her forehead.
