She took a deep breath, determined to maintain her composure despite the chaos surrounding her."Excuse me, Miss Thompson," one reporter called out, thrusting a microphone towards her. "Can you explain why Vivian's name is signed on YOUR design drafts?"Rita looked directly into the camera, projecting confidence as she spoke. "First of all, thank you all for being here. I understand that this situation may seem confusing, but I can a*sure you that there has been a misunderstanding."The reporters exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued by Rita's calm demeanor.Sensing their anticipation, she continued, "Vivian and I were never friends in college, I don't even know her at all and these design drafts were a collaboration between I and my team of designers.

Rita couldn't stand the false accusations she had received from the press and Vivian, so she angrily opened Amanda's office door."Ma'am, can you believe what's happening outside? Do you think I did it? How can someone so cruel and irresponsible frame me up? She even came prepared like, who does that? I can't believe all these is happening. Probably, it's because of my generosity." She was walking around the office as she kept talking to Amanda."Listen to me Rita, if no one else can trust you, please have it at the back of your mind that I sincerely and I'll always trust you. I know that you didn't do that and we both will work together until we get the root of the matter." Amanda rea*sured Rita."Thank you so such. It means a lot to me,” Rita said, "But I don't think I can wait any longer. I have to confront her. Let me talk to her face to face, woman to woman, why she did that and who sent her!""Do you know her place? How can you even get to her place when you don't know her?" Ama

Rita's heart was torn between conflicting emotions. She hadn't expected Noah's confession, and even though she had grown fond of him, the recent encounter with Jaden had stirred up old feelings and doubts.

Rita handed over the recorded phone conversation to the police, accusing Noah and Percy of kidnapping. They were taken into custody for questioning.Inside the small, sterile interrogation room, Detective Rodriguez eyed Noah and Percy sternly. "Gentlemen, you're both aware of the serious allegations against you. Rita claims she has evidence of your involvement in the kidnapping. Care to explain yourselves?"Noah exchanged a tense glance with Percy before sighing heavily. "Detective, this is all a misunderstanding. We were never involved in any kidnapping. Rita is just trying to pin something on us."Percy nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Detective. We may have had some disagreements with Rita, but kidnapping? That's a bit extreme."Detective Rodriguez leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. "Rita seems pretty convinced that you two are responsible. And this recorded conversation she handed over, where you discuss the 'plan' and even mention the victim's name, doesn't help your case."No

"Rita, are you alright?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.She took a deep breath, her memories still swirling in her mind. "I... I remember," Rita whispered, her voice quivering. "I remember everything now, Percy."Percy's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and relief washing over him. "You do? That's incredible, Rita. What do you remember?"Tears welled up in Rita's eyes as she recounted the memories that had flooded back to her. "Jaden... the mountain... the kidnappers. I remember saving him, guiding him down the slope," she said, her voice trembling. "And the necklace, Percy. It was Jaden who caught hold of it, not you."Percy's expression darkened, his grip on the necklace tightening. "Rita, you don't understand. I... I did what I had to do to protect you.

She played the victim, revealing Jaden's information to Noah, aiming to gain his trust and work together to abduct Rita.Percy's patience had worn thin, and she saw an opportunity to finally unravel the tangled web Rita had woven. As Noah reluctantly left to fetch the food, Percy leaned in closer to Rita, her voice a low and dangerous whisper."Your little games won't work anymore, Rita," Percy hissed, her eyes piercing into hers. "I know your true intentions, and I won't let you manipulate Noah any longer."Rita's façade crumbled, her eyes darting around as if searching for an escape. She was cornered, and Percy knew it."You can't prove anything," Rita stammered, her voice shaky.Percy's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Oh, but I can. You underestimated me, Rita. I've been gathering evidence of your deceit for quite some time now."Rita's defiance wavere

Rita's head spun as she tried to make sense of the situation. She blinked, trying to process the unexpected alliance between Noah and Percy. The room felt heavy with tension, and Rita's heart raced as she looked from Noah's eyes to Percy's determined expression."Rita, you have to understand," Noah began, his voice strained. "I never wanted any of this to happen. But you insisted on being with Jaden, and that tied your fate to his."Rita's eyes narrowed as she absorbed his words. "Tied my fate? What do you mean?"Percy chimed in, his tone calmer than Noah's, but equally serious. "Jaden possesses a power that could reshape the world, but it comes at a great cost. And you, Rita, unwittingly became part of that cost when you chose to stand by his side."Frustration bubbled within her, and she clenched her fists. "So, what? You two decided that locking me up was the solution? That destroying Jaden would somehow fix everything?"Noah's gaze softened, but his grip on his emotions remained t

He told her that he had completely lost patience with her and warned her that if she dared to harm Rita, he would not spare her.Percy pa*sionately questioned how Jaden could treat her like this, forgetting that she had saved his life.Percy's words hung in the air, tension thickening with every pa*sing second. The sterile hospital room seemed to close in on them, its cold white walls reflecting the emotional turmoil that swirled within. Jaden's gaze remained fixed on the floor, unwilling to meet Percy's accusatory stare."Percy," Jaden finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, "I know you're angry, and I understand why. But you don't understand the complexity of the situation."Percy clenched her fists, struggling to contain her frustration. "Complexity? Jaden, Rita is innocent in all of this. She's been through enough, and she doesn't deserve your wrath."Jaden's eyes flickered briefly, a hint of regret fleeting across her features. "Y

Rita and Jaden sat across from each other in Jaden's spacious office, a map of the exhibition area spread out before them. "This powder might hold the key to unraveling the mystery," Rita mused, her brows furrowed in concentration.Jaden nodded, his eyes fixed on the map. "It's clear that someone intentionally tampered with the dresses. But why? And how does it connect to the models' asthma?"Rita leaned forward, her fingers tracing the outline of the exhibition booths. "The powder could be a trigger, something that aggravated their asthma and caused the accidents. But who would want to harm them? And why would they target the wedding dresses?"Jaden leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. "We need to find out who had access to the exhibition area that night. Let's start by reviewing the surveillance footage."Rita nodded and pulled out her tablet. "I've already instructed the team to retrieve the footage. We should have it soon."As they waited, Jaden's gaze drifted to a

Percy leaned in, her voice a mere whisper, "Rita, think about it. With your parents' connections, we could make a difference. Save Jaden's company, his reputation."Rita's eyes flickered with a mix of uncertainty and determination. "But Percy, it's not that simple. I can't just walk away from Jaden when he needs me the most."Percy's brow furrowed. "Rita, I understand your loyalty, but we're talking about saving everything he's worked for. And your children's future too. This might be the only way."Rita shook her head, her voice growing firm. "No, Percy. I can't turn my back on him.
