Chapter 1238 - Bombarding the Owner of Boya Pavilion (2/2)
Wen Xinya s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto the heiresses before saying, “Madam, the gala is an event that has been recurring for several years in Capital city, where talents and skills are showcased. The ladies here have all decided to attend the gala because of your reputation as well as that of Boya Pavilion and the gala. Now that someone has been poisoned during the gala, how am I supposed to feel, Madam?
“Madam, it’s your fault for failing to manage and host the event well, and your staff is to blame too. In that case, shouldn’t you be giving all of us here a reasonable explanation? I just want an explanation, but you think that I’m questioning you for your mistake. You’re really scaring me, Madam.”
The owner of Boya Pavilion had never been questioned by anyone throughout her life before. Exasperated, she retorted. “Miss Wen, you’re right, I do have to bear the responsibility for what happened, but you’re exaggerating! Who are you to decide the truth behind the poisoning incident? We still need evidence to find out the truth.”
Lin Yingxin had only said those words in deranged state and Xia Ruya had never once admitted to spiking the tea and food.
Wen Xinya’s smile stiffened and she retorted. “Madam, are you asking me for evidence? In that case, I shall tell you more in detail.”
After witnessing Wen Xinya splas.h.i.+ng wine onto Xia Ruya, the owner of Boya Pavilion knew that Wen Xinya was not to be trifled with. “Miss Wen, you’ve got the wrong idea. What I meant was, regardless of whether Lin Yingxin’s claims are true or not, we still have to give the innocent you and all the other ladies here an explanation.”
At the end of the day, the owner had been roaming around the upper-cla.s.s society for decades and was incredibly shrewd in playing mind games and resorting to scheming tricks.
Wen Xinya nodded and exclaimed, “You’re right, Madam!”
The owner continued, “However, this incident happened during the gala organized by Boya Pavilion and we’re responsible for finding out the truth. There’s no reason to stain our reputation because of this. Otherwise, how am I supposed to continue hosting the gala in many more years to come?”
She sounded haughty and self-righteous and even managed to turn the situation around. However, she did make sense and Boya Pavilion indeed should not be shouldering the burden of everything.
Wen Xinya nodded in agreement and gibed. “You’re right, Madam. But I don’t believe you.”
Greatly taken aback, the owner questioned, “Miss Wen, what do you mean?”
Wen Xinya and the owner made eye contact. She then said, “Lin Yingxin once mentioned that you and Miss Xia are on close terms with each other and you didn’t deny it either. Clearly, Lin Yingxin was speaking the truth. In that case, how can you guarantee that you wouldn’t be biased towards Miss Xia when handling this matter?”
As soon as Wen Xinya said those words, everyone gasped. Clearly, they were all reminded of something after hearing her words.
The owner of Boya Pavilion flew into a rage and said, “Miss Wen, I do know Miss Xia, but…”
Wen Xinya scanned her surroundings and interjected. “I believe, I’m not the only one who has these qualms. The ladies probably are in doubt, too.”
