Chapter 334 Slander to the Very End
Riley seethed with anger. “Yes, with the evidence from the photo album, Freya can’t escape!
Her own reputation had already been tarnished by Freya. Now, the internet was filled with people criticizing her.
She hadn’t dared to answer any of her father’s recent phone calls. Riley could imagine the punishment she would
receive when she returned home. Thus, she made up her mind; no matter what, she would bring Freya down with
her!
The second recording was also played. In it, Riley asked Leah to steal the formula.
Everyone present was shocked.
“D*mn it, how did this competition turn into a power struggle?”
“Riley is too cunning! It would be terrifying if she targeted someone!”
Amidst the discussions, Riley stood her ground.
Eric looked at Riley. “Miss Freeman, do you have anything else to say? It is indeed in these recordings. If you still
want to defend yourself, we can have the technical department verify the authenticity of the voice.”

“No need for verification! It’s me!” Riley glared at Freya. She was going to take Freya down with her. “I do hate
Freya, and I did ask Leah to steal Freya’s formula. However, after stealing it, I realized that all those formulas were
ones I had written before. Freya plagiarized my previous achievements, and she can’t refute this!”
Do you
Freya sneered. “Riley, you claim that this formula was written by you two years ago. know that one of the
ingredients in it was only discovered and officially recognized as medicinal last year?”
Riley froze.
She had no understanding of the medicinal properties of those herbs. She had only followed the formula provided
by Freya to create a sachet.
As for when the medicinal properties were discovered and recognized, she had never even considered it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What about it?” Riley stubbornly insisted. “I have a clear record of my timeline.”
Leah anxiously spoke up. “Riley, it was clearly you who did it. You even had Miss Kaufmann’s formula and asked
Helga to help you gather the ingredients! I witnessed it all!”

Riley had already made up her mind to hold on until the end. She gritted her teeth. With the evidence that she had,
she just needed to hold on and things would definitely blow over, just like what happened with her assistant before.
It was inevitable that she would be expelled from the competition, but Freya must suffer more than her!
Clove? Ha, what a load of nonsense!
“What about the timestamp?”
Freya frowned. “Give me the link to that album. I’ll have someone check if there’s anything suspicious.”
Riley did not want to give it to her.
“What if you find a hacker to delete that picture, Freya? Don’t think you can destroy the evidence!”
The director, who had been observing from the side, also realized the truth of the matter. “Miss Freeman, this is a
live stream. If that photo suddenly disappears, Freya will be implicated. Moreover, everyone has already seen the
post time just now. There are likely. thousands of screenshots from the netizens by now. You don’t need to worry
about this. If you’re not comfortable with it, you can give us your phone. Our team can also investigate this
ourselves.”
Amid the chaos, a cold and deep male voice sounded out.
“No need to investigate.”
Everyone turned to look; Radley had walked over at some point, accompanied by a respectful Connor.
As soon as he appeared, everyone immediately quieted down.
Helga stared at Radley with her fingers quietly biting into her palms.
Today, she must crush Freya into the ground! This way, Radley would not like Freya anymore. What she could not
have, Freya could not have either!
Radley walked over to the people from the organizing committee. He whispered a few words to the judge from the
organizing committee, who immediately had an angry expression on
his face.
Connor had been holding a laptop in his hand the whole time and handed it over when he saw this. The person from
the organizing committee looked at the laptop.

A few minutes later, the judge from the organizing committee nodded with a dark expression, and Connor walked
over to the projector with the laptop.
Soon, the screen quickly displayed the laptop screen.
Connor’s expression remained calm as he glanced at Helga and Riley with disdain.
“As the biggest investor in this event, the Monaghan Group investigated this website as soon. as the incident
occurred. While everyone was debating, I had already found the link to Miss. Freeman’s so-called photo and
contacted the company that owns the website to obtain some internal information.”
Connor demonstrated it to everyone on the screen.
“There has been a bug on this website that hasn’t been fixed. After uploading a photo, users. can replace it later,
but the publication date of the photo won’t change.”
Connor continued, “Although the modification won’t show any records, we were able to obtain the modification
history because we contacted the company that owns the website.”
He pulled up the records.
On the big screen, the dates were clearly displayed.
When everyone saw the dates, they were shocked and angry.
“Riley, have you no shame? This photo was clearly replaced this afternoon!”
Connor pulled up the website’s history again. “Before this afternoon, this photo was a selfie of Miss Freeman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeveral gentlemen even liked it. If she still refuses to admit it, we can. contact these gentlemen.”
Riley felt her legs weaken. Her only trump card had been exposed by Radley!
She felt a wave of collapse, staring at the big screen in disbelief.
She had discovered this bug on the website before and thought it was a well-kept secret!
Even if Freya found out, it would have been when Freya was already expelled from the competition!
At that time, no matter what Freya said, everyone would think she was trying to clear her name. Freya wouldn’t be
able to escape the stench of guilt.
But Radley…
How could this man be so fast?

While Riley was spiraling in despair, Radley had already stepped down from the stage.
He walked up to Freya and looked at her. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Freya pursed her lips. She had wanted to say that even if Radley were not there, she could have handled
it herself.
However, looking at Radley’s affectionate eyes, she could not say those words.
As it was getting cold, Radley took off his coat and draped it over Freya’s shoulders.
Before Freya could refuse, he had already turned and walked toward Riley.
Standing in front of Riley and Helga, Radley’s face was colder than the winter sea.
“Riley, I warned you not to provoke her without any valid reason.”
“What does it matter to you?” Riley had completely lost her composure, glaring at Radley.
He had ruined her reputation!
However, when she locked eyes with his deep, intense eyes, Riley’s heart quivered!
Those eyes seemed to hold a deadly threat, making it hard for her to breathe. Her legs grew weak.
Riley did not dare to meet Radley’s gaze again. She clenched her jaw and took two steps.
