The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Miranda confidently declared, "Absolutely! I swear every word I've spoken is the truth. If you don't trust me, feel free to ask the other four; they can all be my witnesses." Gavin grabbed the phone and affirmed, "Miranda is telling the truth. She has been helping Elaine hide her wrongdoings, and there's even more to the story." "That's right, Miranda didn't lie," Janice chimed in as well. Xavier added, "Indeed, Elaine has been targeting us. She even physically assaulted us and nearly got Gavin killed." Jett confirmed, "Their statements are accurate." The reporter continued to press, "Are you willing to swear that it was Elaine who has been intentionally harassing you and stealing your food? If you're caught lying, you should kneel down and give yourselves ten slaps. Do you dare to swear?" Miranda raised her hand and fearlessly swore, "I didn't accuse Elaine at all. If I did, I'll kneel down to apologize to her and give myself a slap." She knew she had the support of the other four individuals, and there were only six of them in the jungle at that time. Out of the six people present, five of them accused Elaine. Even if Elaine was innocent, she had no choice but to admit her fault.How can she possibly win this case? It's her words against those of the other five people! I must defeat Elaine this time. She's no longer under the control of the Grant family. If I don't take her down now and destroy her reputation, she might become a threat in the near future. No, I cannot allow this to happen! Next, Gavin followed suit, and then it was Janice, Xavier, and Jett's turns to make their sworn statements. The reporter questioned, "Miranda, aren't you a forgiving person? Why are you exposing Elaine now? Don't you think that your testimony will lead to many netizens attacking Elaine?" Miranda bit her lip and spoke in a sad tone. "I've forgiven Elaine many times in the past, but not anymore. What she did this time was beyond heinous! She went too far, and she almost killed my brother. Therefore, I can't forgive her this time. I wouldn't mind if she's just hurting me, but my family is my bottom line. I won't forgive her for what she did!" Displeased, Gavin shot the reporter a disapproving look. "What kind of question is that? Are you intentionally trying to make it difficult for Miranda? Elaine has severely beaten Miranda, and all Miranda did was expose her evil deeds. What's wrong with that? How can you accuse Miranda of being unkind? Even if Elaine faces backlash from netizens, she deserves it." The reporter glanced at Gavin and asked, "Isn't Elaine your biological sister? Why do you hate her so much and keep siding with the one who has stolen your sister's identity?" Gavin's expression darkened. "I address the actions, not the person. Elaine has been engaging in all these bad activities, and even if she's my real sister, I can't allow her to continue doing bad things! She's the one who made me hate her! She almost got me killed in the jungle. Shouldn't I hate her for that? She deserves to be criticized by the netizens. I'll expose her even if Miranda didn't." Miranda lowered her gaze and wiped away her tears of sorrow. Gavin's heart wrenched. He wiped away her tears and comforted her gently, "Don't cry, Miranda. I'm here, and I'll protect you." The reporter delved further, asking, "Gavin and Miranda, may I ask if the two of you will eventually become a couple since you're not related biologically? Or is something already going on between you two?" Stunned, Gavin went ballistic and bellowed as he glared at the reporter, "What nonsense are you spewing? Miranda is my sister. How can we be a couple?" "Oh! Your closeness had me thinking that you might have started a romantic relationship in secret because your interactions appeared more intimate than typical siblings. It appears I was mistaken," said the reporter. "Only someone with a distorted mindset views things through such a disgusting lens!" Gavin commented through gritted teeth. The tearful Miranda shook her head. "Don't be upset, Gavin. Let's ignore what people are saying as long as we know we haven't done anything wrong." Gavin felt so bad for her. "I'm fine, but I can't stand it when others gossip about you. You're so kind. Why are there always people who want to hurt you?" Miranda bit her lip once again and flashed him a wry smile, looking terribly aggrieved. "Let's drop this topic, Gavin. I'm used to it already. Thanks to Elaine for always picking on me, it made me stronger." Gavin felt really bad for her. "I'm sorry you had to go through all this. From now on, I won't let them have any opportunity to hurt you anymore." The duo had an affectionate moment as if no one else was present. "Ah!" Suddenly, Elaine shouted loudly and kicked the table over. She paced back and forth on the stage, pulling at her hair with both hands, exuding an absolutely ferocious demeanor. "What have I done wrong to deserve witnessing this jerk and the b*tch publicly flaunting their affection? How revolting! I've only signed a seven-day contract, and it's already the eighth day. Why should I heed Mr. Grisham's instructions and endure this terrible arrangement to stay here like a fool? Hmph, do I look like I care about this interview? I quit!" After all, her reputation had been tarnished, and she no longer cared about her image. The only thing that bothered her now were the people she worked with. Since her contract stated that her last day was the day before, there was no need for her to comply with the arrangements made by the production team. She no longer concerned herself with her image. After all, she had no place in the entertainment industry anymore, so there was no need to worry about her reputation. Elaine approached Miranda and flipped her table. Subsequently, she kicked her chair over too. "Ah!" Miranda let out a piercing scream as she fell along with her chair. Elaine spat at her and yelled, "Stop pretending to be pure and innocent in front of me, you b*tch! I've got nothing left to lose; my reputation is in tatters. I can be as candid as I please now. If you keep pushing my buttons, I won't hesitate to respond with a slap for every word that escapes your mouth!" Miranda stared at Elaine in disbelief, her eyes filled with fury. Is Elaine out of her mind? There are numerous reporters surrounding the stage. How could she possibly strike me in front of this crowd? She's only digging her own grave. It's like she has a death wish. However, when Miranda witnessed Elaine's erratic behavior, she was so frightened that she became speechless, crouching on the floor and trembling. Before Gavin could say a word, Elaine kicked him and shouted, “You, shut up! Say another word, and I'll sew your mouth shut!” Elaine then continued to pace around the stage, pulling her hair, screaming, and overturning tables. This prompted a discussion among the netizens: Looks like Elle is going crazy. Netizen B: Is Elle having a relapse? Anyway, I love seeing her behaving like a madwoman. Haha!Netizen C: Elle's outburst reflects the true emotions I have buried inside. However, I lack the courage to reveal my true colors to everyone. Netizen D: Oh no... Elle was pushed by Gavin and Miranda to a point of no return. She's so pitiful. Sobs... Netizen E: This is so frustrating to see! Why is Miranda so shameless? How could she blame and accuse Elle? And Gavin is an idiot for taking her side. Elle should just beat them to death! Netizen F: Don't panic, everyone! I bet Mr. Grisham and the reporters are letting them have their moment before crushing them to pieces. Netizen G: Yes, that's right! Their smug moments will soon be replaced by an equal measure of dejection and disappointment! Netizen H: We've reached the climax of this drama, and I've seen enough of their ugliness. Hurry up and reveal the truth to us! Back at the scene, Elaine kicked everyone and overturned all the tables. She then jumped off the stage, ready to leave. “Don't leave, Elaine! There's another important segment. Stay until you've watched it,” shouted James, but Elaine continued to stride ahead without stopping. “Your phone is still with me. Don't you want it anymore?” asked James. Elaine halted in her tracks. Oh, yes! I haven't retrieved my phone, and I don't have any cash on me. I can't even pay for my ride. With that in mind, she turned around and jumped onto the stage, wearing a grim expression. She then walked toward James and stretched out her hand before him. Give me back my phone! James chuckled and rubbed his nose. “The staff has gone to fetch a cutter to open the metal box. It might take a little while, but I'm confident you'll have your phone back right after the fan meeting.” A frown crept up on Elaine's face as her blood boiled with rage. James pleaded under his breath, “Elaine, I implore you, please stay until the end of the fan meeting. If you're willing to do so, I promise to add an extra hundred thousand when I transfer the balance. What do you think?” “Deal!” Elaine responded. I could pocket an additional hundred thousand by staying here a little longer. Why not? Only fools would pass up such an easy opportunity to make money! Upon hearing that, James heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up the microphone and announced, “Don't sit down. Instead, I'll have everyone on their feet since the chairs and tables are scattered around on the floor. The interview has come to an end, and we shall now watch a video together. I've requested the staff to edit this video overnight, which includes some interesting clips about our guests in the jungle. Ladies and gentlemen, please watch the projected screen.” There was a huge screen at the back of the stage.Right after James' announcement, the staff promptly activated the projector, and a vivid image appeared on the screen. At that moment, a slight smile secretly played at the corners of Miranda's lips. She knew that the scenes in which Elaine had bullied her would be captured in the edited video clip. The more people gaze upon her wicked face, the more they will despise her! Elaine is doomed. There's no way she's bouncing back from this! However, Miranda's smile vanished the moment the video began. She could not believe her eyes, and her face turned pale with horror. How could this happen? Why did Mr. Grisham show a video featuring scenes from the past six days? There were only six of us in the jungle during that time, and none of the production team members were present. Where did this video come from? Gavin, Janice, and the others were all shocked to the core. Instantly, their faces turned as white as a sheet, and their eyes filled with despair. Oh no... We're done for! Elaine, too, was equally stunned and horrified. Similar questions popped up in her head. Where did this video come from? Meanwhile, the video depicted the events of the night when the production team lost contact with everyone. In the footage, Miranda urged Janice, Xavier, and Jett to sideline Elaine. The former even led them in arrogantly snatching Elaine's belongings. Elaine refused to yield. Hence, Miranda instructed her gang to forcefully take Elaine's things and even beat her up. Unfortunately for Miranda and the others, Elaine managed to defend herself and beat the five to a pulp. In another scene, the gang was shown discreetly stealing Elaine's belongings while she was in the shower. Once they had acquired all of Elaine's possessions, Miranda took them all for herself, refusing to share any with the others. The video also showed numerous instances in which they pressured Elaine to surrender her food to them. Additionally, the video revealed a scene from the night when Gavin was scratched by a monkey and fell unconscious on the floor. Miranda and the others callously left him behind, showing no sympathy. It was Elaine who went around searching for traditional remedies and applied them to him during the night. Miranda only showed up the following day and deceitfully claimed that she was the one who had saved Gavin. The video also featured a scene in which Gavin tried to push Elaine into the river but, in the end, he was the one who got pushed into the river by Elaine. Jett wanted to go into the river and rescue Gavin when he saw that the latter was injured. However, Miranda stopped Jett from doing so. When that incident occurred, those who were present back then could not see Miranda's expression. However, the hidden camera successfully captured her emotions and expressions vividly. That vicious look on her face said it all —it was obvious that she had done it on purpose!
