?<strong>Chapter 1255:</strong>


    A hush fell over the crowd. No one understood what had driven Fiona to this point. She seemedpletely unhinged, perhaps even deranged.


    Elyse regarded her, quickly grasping the reason for her outburst.


    She stepped forward from the group and faced Fiona unflinchingly.


    “Do you really think that scandalous headlines and sensational journalism can ruin a woman’s life? You’re mistaken. That’s only your perception. I’ve never believed that such news could shatter my world. I won’t deny that these rumors disturb me, but they don’t hinder my abilities, nor will they defeat me. But you, resorting to such methods to harm someone else— I truly feel sorry for you. It’s shameful that, as a woman, you would inflict such pain on another. Fiona, I believe you are fundamentally wed.”


    Elyse hesitated briefly, then fixed her gaze on Fiona and said, “Honestly, I have no desire to speak with you anymore. You’re too ignorant. By showing up now, aren’t you just admitting that you’re the one who spread those rumors about me?”


    She cocked her head and offered a cold smile. “What exactly emboldens you to confront and challenge me? Is it your little intellect or your narrow perspective?”


    Still unable to grasp the situation, Fiona blurted loudly, “Are you actually denying that you’ve been sexually assaulted or mistreated by anyone?”


    Elyse looked at her with sorrow. “Fiona, you are truly lost. I don’t even want to bother exining where you’re mistaken.”


    Fionaughed harshly. “You’re clearly at a loss for words because I’ve struck a chord.”


    At that moment, Quinn intervened, unable to stand by any longer. He reminded Fiona, saying, “Princess Louise already confirmed that Elyse was with her the entire time. If you im Elyse was mistreated, does that mean the princess was too?”


    Quinn, who had previously dated Fiona, feltpelled to push further. “You should leave now. You’re not wee here. Don’te back to cause more trouble.”


    Fiona shot him a scornful look. “I wasn’t speaking to you. Why are you interfering?”


    Quinn was so infuriated that he decided to ignore Fiona from that point on.


    Just then, Louise arrived with a team of bodyguards.


    She looked disdainfully at Fiona and dered, “So, you’re the one spreading false allegations about my friend. You’ve even tried to smear me. You’ve vited our nation’sws. Now, exin your actions to the police. Take her away!”


    Fiona stood frozen, stunned by the turn of events. As the bodyguards escorted her away, she resisted, crying out, “It’s not true! It’s all because of Elyse! Princess Louise, please investigate thoroughly!”


    Louise, unwilling to engage further with Fiona, maintained a stoic expression.
