My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Riley’s face turned pale in an instant.

Her assistant, standing nearby, gritted her teeth, knowing that if she didn’t step up to shoulder the blame, she wouldn’t gain any benefits either.

“It was me. Freya has always mistreated Miss Freeman, and I was angry, so I went to her room.”

The chief director frowned. “This doesn’t add up. Even if Miss Kaufmann and Miss Freeman have conflicts, why would you enter Miss Kaufmann’s room?”

The assistant hesitated for a few seconds but quickly remembered the harsh words Riley had uttered about Freya earlier in their room.

“I wanted to verify if Freya had cheated to secure first place in the preliminary round. She’s new to this industry, and I found it hard to believe she had the skills to achieve that. Plus, her relationship with Radley and Inken made me suspect there might be something fishy with her performance. So, I wanted to search her room for evidence!”

The management staff member from the organizing committee was seething with anger.

“Do you think this is just any ordinary competition?”

The assistant’s statement was essentially insinuating that the organizing committee and sponsors’ participants were colluding.

This was supposed to be the most authoritative competition in the industry, and such rumors could severely damage its reputation.

Eric Warren, the management staff member, coldly retorted, “If you question our fairness, why even bother participating?”

In the midst of this, Riley hastily interjected, “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Warren! I had absolutely no knowledge of this matter. My assistant acted without consulting me beforehand. Had I known, I would have certainly stopped her!”

Freya crossed her arms as she looked at Riley’s hypocritical appearance.

Lately, she had noticed that Riley’s assistant seemed to have no grasp of fragrance blending at all.

Rather than serving as an assistant, she appeared more like a personal maid accompanying Riley.

It was improbable that she had come up with those words independently; they were likely something she had heard from Riley.
