Chapter 248
Ada started to become flustered, but she still tried her best to calm down.
She glared at Rita and confidently said, “Miss Williams, I don’t know why you would say such a thing, but I’m pretty sure that Elia is a woman in her forties. If you don’t believe me, I can ask her to be in a photo with me when I meet her the next time.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Mindy’s face was full of anger, and she coldly said, “Miss Williams, I don’t want to hold this against you since you’re a guest. But if you try to make a fuss, the Pond Family will not be afraid of you!”
Rita was expressionless, but her tone was extremely scornful.
“There’s one thing I haven’t mentioned. After our competition today, you and I waited for the results in the lounge. By the time they released the results, it was past 4 p.m. I spoke to my father, and he said that Elia left at 2 p.m. So, how could you have met her?”
Based on these two facts, Rita was sure that Ada was lying!
Ada’s face turned pale with fear. She did not know Elia, but she could not admit it at this point, or else, everyone would laugh at her.
Her eyes were teary as she looked at Rita with a hurt expression and said, “Miss Williams, I don’t know why you’re questioning me like this? Is it because I won first place while you won third place in the design competition? Are you kicking up a fuss at my celebration party because you’re jealous?”
Rita sneered, and her eyes were full of disdain. She then threw the fake autograph on the floor. “Why should I be jealous of you? Should I be jealous of your lies? If you hadn’t lied about knowing Elia and made fake autographs to trick us, I wouldn’t have even bothered to talk to you!”
Ada was showing off with a lie, and Rita could not tolerate it because it involved her idol. Otherwise, she would have just let it go.
“What evidence do you have to prove that these autographs are fake? Also, how can you prove that you’re telling the truth? Is she really in her twenties as you say?”
“The Williams Family was heavily involved in the organization of the design competition, and she was one of the judges. This is all information from my father. Would he lie to me?” As soon as she said this, everyone in the mansion looked at Ada differently.
The Williams Family must have seen Elia, and they had no reason to lie about it. Besides, if Ada really knew her, she would immediately contact her for support. She would not be speechless.
Mindy could sense that her gambling buddies were looking at her with contempt. Her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she subconsciously looked at Ada.
“Ada, hurry up and explain. The autographs you gave me are real, aren’t they?”
Ada bit her bottom lip. Just as she was about to speak, someone in the crowd said, “If I remember correctly, Elia established JM. In that case, Miss Haines should be familiar with her. Let’s give Miss Haines a call and ask her about this. Then we’ll know who’s lying, right?”
Ada’s face instantly turned pale. If they called Kimberly, she would not be able to cover up the fact that she did not know Elia.
The moment Mindy saw Ada’s expression, she knew that the autographs were fake.
She was instantly filled with rage. She never thought that Ada would embarrass her in front of so many people!
However, things had progressed to such an extent. Even if she knew the truth, she would make sure that it was not exposed.
Unfortunately, Rita did not give them any room to breathe. She immediately dialed Kimberly’s number.
“Hi, Miss Haines. I’m Rita Williams. Someone has forged Elia’s autograph and claimed that she’s in her forties. According to my knowledge, Elia should be in her twenties, right?”
After Rita posed the question, she turned on the speaker, and everyone stared at her phone.
Soon, they heard Kimberly’s voice.
“Hi, Miss Williams. Elia is indeed in her twenties. Could you tell me the name of the person who forged her autograph? I’ll contact Elia and check if she wants to pursue legal action.”
Rita raised her eyebrows in amusement and said, “There’s no need to go through all that trouble. I just wanted to confirm Elia’s age. This person won’t be able to deceive others anymore. Thank you, Miss Haines.”
Once Rita hung up, she looked at Ada with a smile. “Do you have anything else to say, Miss Pond?”
Ada’s face turned pale, and she glared at Rita with hatred and anger. However, there was nothing she could say.
Mindy’s gambling buddies remained silent. Nevertheless, she could tell from their expressions that they were going to laugh at her behind her back again.
Right then, the banquet hall became extrémely quiet.
