Bring Your A Game

Chapter 571 You Are Free

Charlene closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her eyes again. Before she spoke, however, she hung her head in shame. In the clip, the reporters nearly held their microphones to Charlene’s chin.

Finally, Charlene found her voice. “…The team members learned the truth at the time. They wanted to clarify things for H, but in order to maintain my hard-won popularity, I forestalled them by pretending to be raped. After getting a man to rape me, I framed Elise for this, making all our teammates think that Elise had purposely gotten back at me because she held a grudge against me for stealing her songs. Actually, they didn’t know that I only used my chastity in exchange for Elise losing everyone’s support.”

As she spoke of this, she sniffled and looked up at the camera with a mad and frivolous expression. “Elise, I know you’re watching this. This time, I’ve paid off what I owed you, but history will always remember that you’ve once fallen into my trap without being able to explain yourself. Even if I’ve lost thoroughly today, that doesn’t change the fact that you’ve once been defeated by me!”

Knowing that what Charlene would be saying next wouldn’t be pleasant to hear, Alexander pressed the power button and turned off the TV.

Everyone in the bar had a different expression on their faces.

Elise didn’t come to her senses for quite some time. To think that Charlene didn’t hesitate to take a gamble using her own body in order to gain some vague popularity and glory. Seriously, I have no idea how to comment on this.

Jamie was the first to step forward and speak for Elise. “I told you that Boss was innocent,” he said. As he spoke, he deliberately darted a look at Noel, who was standing by the door. It was because of Charlene that he had never been in touch with Noel all these years. Now that the truth had come to light, he could finally say righteously that he was right, and that Noel had been deceived by that bad woman.

Arthur and Julius exchanged a brief look, but they dared not respond to Jamie’s words. As they didn’t choose to steadfastly believe Elise back then, they were in no position to express their opinions now.

Clenching his fists with all his might, Noel stood in place with a look of anguish on his face before a tear suddenly spilled out of his eye. Before everyone could notice it, however, he turned his face away and lowered his head, causing the tear to make a turn and flow into his mouth before it could fall. It tastes so bitter, he thought. To think that the woman whom I cherished like a treasure willingly let another man violate her for some undeserved reputation! So what does that make of my defense of her over these years? Perhaps I’m just a joke to Charlene. Most importantly, how am I supposed to face Elise after this?
