Chapter 260:
Echoing Rolland’s insinuations, he declared, “He is absolutely right! I’ve just realized that you, Ashton, used the pretext of a restroom break to plot and undermine our efforts. Don’t be deceived by his false pretense p>
The crowd, already wavering in their understanding of the situation, became even more uncertain as they heard Rolland’s and Jacoby’s accusations, casting suspicious glances at Ashton.
Ashton’s earlier departure did seem suspicious.
Despite the growing doubts among the crowd, Ashton maintained his calm and composed demeanor.
Standing resolutely beside Rosalie, he scoffed and declared, “If you choose to cling to your deceit, I have no objections. The truth will soon reveal itself, and we will see who has truly been dishonest p>
Ashton’s commanding and resolute presence momentarily quelled the doubts of some in the crowd.

Even if I were omnipotent, I would not have been able to contact someone, gather your dirt, and post it so swiftly p>
He then cast a disdainful glance at Rolland.
“And you, the so-called master, who come here to critique others’ designs without offering a single constructive comment. Do you even comprehend your own role? Today’s event is a public inspection, not an opportunity for you to deliver judgment p>
In response to Ashton’s retort, Jacoby’s fury reached its peak. He roared, “If we are not allowed to comment, then what makes you qualified to criticize our opinions p>
“Then what about me? Am I qualified p>
