Faced with Xia Chuyue's cold and coercive gaze, the assistant couldn't hide her panicked expression.
She took two steps back, and large beads of sweat instantly dripped down her forehead.
"Sister Chuyue, I didn't... I didn't want to do it, someone forced me to!"
The assistant was doing something as bad as drugging someone for the first time, and her mental fortitude was too weak. Xia Chuyue only needed to say two sentences to completely shatter her defenses.
Xia Chuyue snorted coldly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and scanned the assistant up and down with her sharp gaze.
"I don't believe a single word of it now. There are still your fingerprints on the thermos in my hand, right? There are all kinds of media at the banquet tonight. Perfect, I'll call the police right now, and you can become famous tonight."
Having spent so much time with Xia Chuyue, the assistant naturally knew that she was a woman of her word.
At this point, she panicked so much that she almost knelt down before Xia Chuyue on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Sister Chuyue, I didn't mean to. I didn't want to give her the medicine; it was the company! They forced me to do it!"
The assistant was so flustered that she was incoherent, and her voice was filled with urgency.
"The company is the mastermind. I'm just a poor employee. I didn't want this either!"
"Yes! Xia Xinxin, Xia Xinxin gave me the medicine! I don't know anything about it!"
Xia Chuyue was not surprised at all when she heard her start to bring up the company and Xia Xinxin; she just glanced at her coldly.
"Neither the company nor Xia Xinxin can escape it."
As Xia Chuyue pulled out her phone to call the police, the assistant burst into tears.
"Don't grab me, Sister Chuyue, I still have a use for you! Oh, right, I had another trick up my sleeve. I also put something in the mineral water in Xia Xinxin's hand!"
Xia Chuyue paused, her hand on the emergency call button pausing, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"You've got some nerve! But why did you drug Xia Xinxin too?"
Isn't this assistant in cahoots with Xia Xinxin?
The assistant forced a smile, licked her lips, and looked embarrassed.
"I can't say that."
Xia Chuyue snorted coldly, flipped open the gossip page about her assistant that she hadn't finished reading, and finished reading the rest of the gossip.
So that's how it is.
This assistant is quite cunning!
Xia Xinxin asked her to drug me, but the assistant was afraid that I wouldn't be in any trouble afterward and would instead be free to find out the truth, so she deliberately held back.
Knowing the deep-seated grudge between me and Xia Xinxin, and to clear herself of suspicion, her assistant deliberately put the same drug in Xia Xinxin's mineral water tonight.
If I hadn't been hacked tonight, she would have guided me to investigate Xia Xinxin.
Given my strained relationship with Xia Xinxin, and the fact that the same medication was found in her bottled water—which can serve as evidence—I certainly won't suspect anyone else!
Not only will she not be suspected, but she'll also receive a large sum of money. After it's all done, she only needs to resign and leave to start a new life with a clean record.
I never realized she was so calculating.
Appearances can be deceiving!
Xia Chuyue's assistant is a shy-looking person who doesn't talk much.
Xia Chuyue hadn't interacted with her much in the past, but seeing that the assistant was younger than her, she had always been quite tolerant of her.
Xia Chuyue was previously embroiled in scandals and unemployed. Fearing that her assistant's salary was too low and she would have to make ends meet, she even paid out of her own pocket to give her a monthly salary subsidy.
Later, after returning to the Xia family, Xia Chuyue's fame increased, and her assistant's salary also increased significantly.
"Your salary isn't low, is it? I haven't been overly demanding of you, have I?"
The assistant's eyes reddened slightly upon hearing Xia Chuyue's words.
Compared to other celebrities, Xia Chuyue is considered to be a celebrity who has a lot of money, few problems, and is generous.
But human greed is insatiable; who can remain unmoved when faced with self-interest?
Xia Chuyue remained silent for a while, then sighed softly.
"Telling me these things is useless. What you and Xia Xinxin did was illegal, and there's no way you'll have a good ending."
Looking at the young assistant's innocent face, Xia Chuyue's tone remained cold and hard.
“When you did this, you were trying to ruin my reputation. I will never tolerate you.”
After Xia Chuyue finished speaking, she promptly called the police.
The assistant clenched his teeth, his expression becoming somewhat manic.
"Sister Chuyue, I can do even more! Xia Xinxin framed you, but I can go over there and frame her in return!"
"I'll do anything as long as you don't call the police!"
Xia Chuyue could only sigh upon hearing this.
To put it bluntly, she's rigid and timid.
However, Xia Chuyue's bottom line and sense of morality are indeed very high.
She neither likes nor wants to do things that would get her dirty.
If you can live a clean and honest life with a clear conscience, why would you do something as dirty and despicable as Xia Xinxin?
However, Xia Chuyue is not someone to be trifled with.
Having been framed like this, she naturally couldn't just let it go.
Even a clay figure has a temper!
Xia Chuyue glanced at her sobbing assistant, her expression turning slightly cold, and then called her agent.
The agent didn't come in, but she only had Xia Chuyue under her management, and she cared a lot about her affairs.
Upon hearing Xia Chuyue recount what her assistant had done, the manager nearly collapsed to his knees and knelt on the spot.
"She's insane! She drugged you with this kind of stuff!"
Tonight's banquet is the focus of attention across the entire internet! Fans of all the celebrities have practically taken over every app platform! Once it trends on social media, there's no way to clear their name!
This is clearly designed to ruin your reputation!
The agent paced back and forth, his mind racing as he heard Xia Chuyue call the police.
"That's fine. Xia Xinxin might have already bought the keywords! You can call the police first to prove your innocence and catch them off guard."
"They'll definitely be buying a lot of negative keywords about you tonight. I'll contact someone to intercept them right now."
The agent's tone turned cold, and then, as if realizing something, his expression turned grim.
"They've definitely made thorough preparations this time. You're going to have a tough fight tonight!"
The agent's team got involved, and the matter became a battle between the two sides' capital.
Xia Chuyue's agency used some really disgusting tactics before, and when it comes to generating buzz, hiring online trolls, and engaging in backstabbing, they really might not be able to compete.
Having worked at the company for so long, how could Xia Chuyue not know about the filth in her previous company?
"It's okay. Although there's a lot of traffic and buzz tonight, there's already a black trending topic about fake donations ahead of it, so the traffic will be split up a bit."
After hearing Xia Chuyue's words of comfort, the agent could only smile and sigh.
"Don't worry, you didn't drink that water after all. Xia Xinxin's scheme failed. We might even be able to use this to gain some sympathy from netizens."
The agent said this, then laughed again.
"Who knows, maybe other celebrities will jump out to attract attention tonight."
You hit the nail on the head.
The agent's words came true half an hour later.
