Margaret Kingsley did not panic.
She counterattacked.
Within 24 hours, a counter-statement was released.
"False allegations fueled by emotional manipulation."
Aria's name was dragged through every media outlet.
Rumors surfaced:
She seduced the CEO.
She fabricated documents.
She wanted control.
Her phone exploded with hate messages.
Ethan stormed into his mother's private estate that night.
"You used her."
Margaret remained calm. "She used you."
"She has proof."
Margaret's lips curved slightly.
"Proof can disappear."
Ethan froze.
"You destroyed her father."
Margaret's expression hardened.
"Her father was weak. Weak men fall."
Ethan stepped back as if struck.
"You built this empire on blood."
"No," Margaret said coldly. "I built it on survival."
Then she delivered the blow:
"If you continue this attack, I will release documents showing insider trading under your name. You'll fall with me."
Ethan realized the truth.
She had prepared for betrayal.
Meanwhile, Aria's apartment was broken into.
Nothing stolen.
Except her laptop.
The original files were gone.
Do you think Margaret planted evidence against Ethan?
YES or NO?
