Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 181: Framing Each Other

Chapter 181: Framing Each Other

"Yeah, how did we forget about that!?"

Brianna stood on stage, tears streaming down her face, looking deeply aggrieved. A female reporter’s voice rang out, "Miss Brianna, is it true that Robert’s ex-wife poisoned you?"

Brianna quickly shook her head, "No, I was framed!"

"Can you confirm whether you were involved in Robert and Isabella’s marriage before their divorce?"

The reporter didn’t let up, and her question drew an uncomfortable silence from the crowd.

Brianna was loudly denouncing the affair now, but everyone almost forgot—she had been the other woman, involved before the divorce even happened!

Brianna’s expression shifted slightly. She didn’t recognize this reporter; she was certain she hadn’t been invited.

Feigning heartbreak, Brianna replied, "Robert lied to me back then, told me he was divorcing his wife and would marry me! I was young, and a few sweet words were enough to fool me. I made a mistake, and all I can do now is apologize to the late Miss Isabella."

What a brilliant move!

Ella’s eyes gleamed coldly. This fake Brianna was disgusting, turning every question into a way to absolve herself of any responsibility!

"She’s lying! She’s spreading rumors!" A man’s angry shout pierced the room. The audience turned to see a man removing his hat and sunglasses. The crowd erupted, and the reporters’ cameras focused on him.

It was Robert.

He had finally lost his composure. Today, he saw Brianna for what she truly was—vicious, deceitful, repulsive, and utterly loathsome!

Ella’s eyes sparkled with amusement. The real show was about to begin.

Robert approached as a swarm of reporters surrounded him, firing off questions.

"Mr. Robert, in what way is Mrs. Davis lying?"

"Yes, Mr. Robert, you were involved. Was it really Mrs. Davis who ruined your marriage back then?"

"Mr. Davis, Mrs. Jones recently revealed online that Brianna poisoned someone back then. What’s your response?"

Robert stood to the side, coldly locking eyes with Brianna on stage.

Brianna trembled. She never expected Robert to actually show up. After months of no contact, Robert seemed to have gained weight and was glowing with success, as if both his career and love life were thriving.

Meanwhile, she had become a prisoner, reduced to skin and bones, as if she’d walked through death’s door.

Robert! It was because of him and that mistress that she ended up in jail! She would never forget the disgust he had for her, or the heartless, shameless way he spoke during their divorce.

"Brianna is lying about everything! She was the one who seduced me in the office, leading me to betray my ex-wife!"

Robert’s eyes flashed with disdain and sarcasm. "Back then, Brianna was beautiful. She even changed into lingerie in my office several times to tempt me. I think any man would have succumbed to that, and I betrayed my wife. I failed her!"

The crowd gasped at Robert’s confession, and the looks directed at Brianna were now filled with judgment and speculation.

Hannah gripped Brianna’s hand tightly, signaling her to stay calm.

Brianna let out a bitter laugh, her eyes filled with icy contempt and sarcasm. "Robert, back then... back then you raped me, and now you dare say such things?"

As soon as Brianna’s words fell, the crowd erupted in murmurs once again.

Ella couldn’t help but smirk. Watching Robert and Brianna tear each other apart was almost amusing—it seemed they were both as shameless as could be!

Back in the day, their relationship had clearly been mutual. Brianna must have pulled quite a few strings to marry Robert. And Robert, for his part, certainly couldn’t have been uninterested. Now, he was trying to shift all the blame onto Brianna, but would a woman like her let him get away with that?

Robert’s face turned a furious shade of blue as he pointed at Brianna and shouted, "Brianna, you’re shameless! You seduced me, and now you dare accuse me of rape? If I had raped you back then, why didn’t you call the police? Why did you still marry me?"

Brianna sobbed pitifully, her tears flowing like rain, "Because... back then, you threatened me. You said if I reported it, you’d release our video to the public. I had no choice... I had to marry you!"

The crowd’s eyes darted between Robert and Brianna, unsure of who was telling the truth and who was lying. For a moment, it was impossible to tell.

Eric leaned in close to Ella, chuckling quietly, "I didn’t expect this face-off to be so entertaining."

"It’s a dog-eat-dog world," Ella snorted, taking a sip of her coffee, thoroughly enjoying the show. It wasn’t her time to step in just yet.

A glint of coldness flashed in Robert’s eyes. Brianna had indeed seduced him all those years ago, but he never imagined she would turn on him like this, smearing his name so completely. The events of that time were long past, and there was no way to prove his innocence now—after all, what evidence could possibly remain after all this time?

The reporters fired more questions, and Robert cleared his throat, "Everyone, calm down. There’s no evidence to clear my name about what happened between Miss Brianna and me. But I do have something else to show you!"

With that, Robert took an iPad from his assistant. Brianna’s face paled slightly at the sight.

Hannah quickly whispered reassurances to her, "Mommy, don’t worry... he can’t have anything incriminating! Even if he does, it’ll be nothing important!"

Hannah was confident. Her deal with Joshua had been carried out in such a discreet place, and Joshua had forged medical records many times without ever being caught.

Robert powered up the iPad and opened a video file. Without another word, he played the incriminating footage for all to see.

Since the iPad was facing away from Brianna and Hannah, they couldn’t see what was being shown. But they could see the widening eyes of the onlookers, all fixated on the screen.

"Oh my God, isn’t that Mr. Joshua?"

"Yes, it is! And that woman— isn’t that Miss Hannah?"

Hannah’s face turned ghostly white as she stared in disbelief at Robert’s iPad. Could it be? Had her secret transaction with Joshua been recorded?

Impossible!

She and Joshua had been so careful. How could anyone have captured it?

The room fell into a heavy silence as everyone’s attention was glued to the iPad. Then, Joshua’s voice rang out loud and clear.

"Miss Davis, you’ve got quite a figure. I like it!"

Hannah’s flirtatious voice followed, "Mr. Lewis, you sure know how to talk! As long as you do this favor for me, you can have whatever you want!"

The men in the room shuddered at the sound of Hannah’s sweet, sultry tone.
