Chapter 1372

Elizabeth rose immediately, moving to pull Rose away.

However, she halted upon realizing the presence of numerous reporters lingering offstage at the press conference, compelling her to suppress the urge.

What she never expected was that the Rose was still alive.

Had the earlier report been a setup?

Elizabeth broke out in a cold sweat as she pondered the situation, fearing the worst.

Approaching Rose with the microphone, Stella briefly locked eyes with Elizabeth before redirecting her attention.

With her back turned to the crowd, Elizabeth fixed a stern gaze upon Rose.

Rose trembled under Elizabeth’s intense stare.

Considering Leo’s ordeal, she found herself unable to retreat from her current stance.

With Matthew’s support, she held on to hope for survival.

Rose clenched her teeth, her words deliberate as she spoke.

“That day, Elizabeth instructed me to tamper with the water in the dressing room and coax Stella into drinking it during her makeup session.

Once the drug took effect, I left the room.

After that, Leo entered the room.

”

“Rose, you better come clean!” Elizabeth’s voice thundered.

Taken aback, Rose involuntarily stepped backward, her grip on the microphone trembling.

Stella held her hand, glancing at Elizabeth with a gentle expression.

“Elizabeth, is your fury a result of being exposed? Are you trying to silence Rose in front of everyone?”

Elizabeth ground her teeth in frustration.

“You-“

But Stella cut her off.

“If you’re innocent, let Rose finish her account.

Interrupting now only raises suspicion of guilt.

”

With a subtle gesture, she signaled for Rose to proceed.

Avoiding Elizabeth’s eyes, Rose nodded and continued, “There’s a camera in the dressing room.

Elizabeth instructed Leo to record himself and Stella to manipulate her.

But then, Mr.

Clark intervened and took Stella away.

After a brief pause, she added, “I retrieved the camera and handed it to Elizabeth.

She then instructed me to leave Seamarsh.

That’s all I know.

”

As the audience absorbed the details, their demeanor shifted once more, demanding an explanation from Elizabeth.

Stella exhaled a sigh of relief.

So that was what Matthew had been alluding to when he urged her to trust him.

Locking eyes with Elizabeth, Stella asserted, “Rose is your makeup artist.

Her testimony holds considerable weight.

Elizabeth, do you have anything further to add?”
