"I only said that the brooch is mine. I never said that I destroyed the materials. There's no correlation between the two," Qiao Xi replied indifferently.
Chen Hao snorted coldly. "Excuses!"
Qiao Xi smiled indifferently. "Mr. Chen, aren't you just quibbling? You said you saw me destroy the materials with your own eyes, but no one else saw it. Your one-sided story isn't trustworthy. After all, you're filled with hostility toward me!"
"Why… Why am I untrustworthy? You're jealous of Mengqing. You're afraid of losing to her, so you destroyed her materials. Isn't this all true? I saw it with my own eyes. I have no reason to wrong you!"
Chen Hao spoke forcefully and righteously. "It's the first time we're meeting, so why would I target you for no reason? Could it be that I'll be suspected even though I'm telling the truth? I just don't want everyone to be kept in the dark."
