Chapter 1239 - Falling into Wen Xinyas Trap (1/2)

The owner of Boya Pavilion finally realized that she had fallen into Wen Xinya’s trap. Lin Yingxin had openly spilled the beans and got the Boya Pavilion involved. Hence, she tried to make it seem like she was not involved.

Wen Xinya could tell that Boya Pavilion did not get involved in the rest of the matter and that the owner merely wanted to save herself and stay away from bearing any responsibility. Hence, Wen Xinya intentionally bombarded the owner not because she really wanted an explanation but rather, she wanted to make her ensure that she would find out the truth and give everyone an answer.

That was Wen Xinya’s first agenda.

Wen Xinya openly revealed that Xia Ruya and the owner were on close terms with each other, simply because she wanted to tie Xia Ruya and the owner together and get the gala implicated. Even if Boya Pavilion had nothing to do with the incident, everyone would still start to doubt her.

That was Wen Xinya’s second agenda.

After Wen Xinya openly splashed the wine onto Xia Ruya, everyone deduced that Xia Ruya was the one who had spiked the food. If the investigation results aligned with their thoughts, it would validate everything that Wen Xinya had said just now.

That was prejudice.

Due to the fact that the owner was close to Xia Ruya, she was biased towards her.

That was Wen Xinya’s third motive.

In all, Wen Xinya merely wanted to make use of Boya Pavilion to find out the truth and validate the fact that Xia Ruya had spiked the food and tea.

Xia Ruya would be finished once Boya Pavilion verified the truth.

However, the owner of Boya Pavilion had already fallen into the trap and was left with no choice but to get rid of Xia Ruya. Otherwise, how was she supposed to answer to the heiresses?

Wen Xinya said, “I don’t have any intentions to offend you, Madam. However, I’m still very shocked about what happened during the gala tonight. The victim tonight might be Miss Lin, but in the future, it might be Miss Li or Miss Zhang. If we don’t resolve this matter completely this time and give everyone a clear explanation, as well as a guarantee that whatever happened today wouldn’t repeat itself, who would still dare to join the gala again in the future?”

Wen Xinya’s words were reasonable and at the same time, it also sounded like a warning. However, it was undeniably lethal. If someone had the audacity to poison the food during the gala today, who’d be able to guarantee that this wouldn’t happen again?

Everyone would only be convinced and given peace of mind if the host expressed her stand and att.i.tude towards the incident, and guarantee that she would get to the bottom of the truth. Only when everyone saw her sincerity and intolerance towards the atrocious act of poisoning would everyone feel relieved.

The other heiresses chimed in, thinking that Wen Xinya’s words had made sense. They agreed that a harsh punishment was necessary.

The owner finally realized that she had no choice but to jump into Wen Xinya’s trap. “Missy, you’re right. I failed to consider everything carefully.”

She then instructed the waitress beside her to check up on the matter.

Smiling sincerely, Wen Xinya said, “I acted rude first. Please pardon me, Madam.”
