Chapter 1298:
“Mr. Scott...” Ayla shook her head desperately, her plea fervent. “That's not true... He's fabricating stories!”
“Enough with your theatrics!” Eric dismissed her denials outright.
His anger was palpable as he pressed on. “What's your problem with Hadley? What drives you to harm her?”
Realizing her arguments were futile, she stopped struggling.
“Why?” Tears streamed down Ayla’s cheeks as she laughed bitterly.
“You're askingwhy? How can you not know?”
Eric blinked in confusion. What did this have to do with him?
Ayla’s bitter laughter mingled with her tears. “Mr. Scott, have you forgotten? | was supposed to be the one by
your side!”
Eric’s confusion was evident. “What are you talking about?”
“I'm serious!” Ayla shouted back, tears streaming down her face. “You might have forgotten, but | haven’'t—not
for a second! That day in your office, you calledyour girlfriend... If Hadley hadn’t shown up, | would be the

“Am | out of my mind?” Ayla responded, her eyes brimming with tears. “Yes, | did it. | told Remy to steal the
video and upload it. | even paid the cleaner to burn the sedative candles in your room...”
Then, her crying ceased, and she lifted her head defiantly to face Eric squarely. “So what now? What are you
going to do about it?”
At that moment, Hadley rushed toward the scene.
She stepped out of the elevator only to find several bodyguards lined up outside Eric’s suite.

With a sense of urgency, Hadley moved swiftly toward the door, only to be halted by the bodyguards.
“Miss Pearson!”
“Step aside!” Hadley’s brow furrowed as she sensed trouble inside. “Don’t you recognize me? How dare you stop
me?”
The bodyguards, of course, recognized her as Eric's cherished partner...
