"Oh, really? That assistant of yours—Wen Li—snapped quite a few photos that night. Didn't she ask for your permission before releasing those photos?" asked Xu Xiyan.

Xu Xinrou glowered. "I don't know what you're talking about. Why would my assistant do something like that? You shouldn't go around accusing others if you don't have any proof to back up your claims."

"You better pray long and hard that the rumors from the party—and the wire accident earlier today—aren't connected to you. It's not going to be pretty if the truth comes out and it turns out you were behind both incidents," Xu Xiyan warned.

Xu Xinrou paled a little at that, but her expression quickly returned to normal. She said scathingly, "So now you're spiting me on Qi Liya's behalf, eh? Wow, she must have bribed you with a lot of favors."

Xu Xinrou hated Qi Liya: she was an annoying obstacle who was always snatching roles from her, preventing Xu Xinrou from taking the limelight.
