Chapter 705

Maisie was quiet, thinking.

Barbara supported herself with her hand on the table.” Could it be possible that the victim staged all of
this?”

Ryleigh looked at her, “Naomi wouldn’t use her life as a joke.”

Barbara put her chin on her hand. “So Naomi was attacked, but why would the attacker pin this on you?”

Ryleigh had no idea.

Maisie crossed her arms, “It’s because of the admission list of the Royal Academy of Music of Zlokova.
There was only one spot, so either Ryleigh or Naomi would have gotten it.”

Ryleigh and Naomi had been outstanding rivals in the orchestra, but if Naomi wanted to frame Ryleigh to
get in, she wouldn’t need to put her life on the line.

If Naomi was attacked and Ryleigh was framed, that would be akin to killing two birds with one stone,
eliminating two rivals at once. As such, their competition would be the person who benefitted.

Barbara understood what Maisie was trying to say. “So it was someone else in the orchestra?”

They both looked toward Ryleigh, who looked innocent. “Many people from the club joined the
competition, how would I know who it was?”

Barbara and Maisie looked at each other and sighed.

They really couldn’t rely on Ryleigh because she was so naive. She had been framed for so many years
but never suspected anyone.



Luckily, Barbara was ready to help. She knew some friends who knew a lot of people in Northwest
University, and they knew more or less about what had happened.

Maisie asked Saydie to send Ryleigh home, but she got a call from a stranger on the way to the office.

The moment she heard a woman’s voice, Xyla’s face popped up in her mind.





Xyla didn’t seem to be giving up and asked to meet at Soul.

When Maisie got there, Xyla was already waiting for her on the couch.

She smiled. “Are you not even going to consider?”

Maisie stopped in front of the couch. “If you’re sincere, Soul will naturally welcome you, but I can’t agree
to your terms.”

Xyla’s expression remained the same as she slowly said, “You treat your friends very well, but I heard
that your friend was asked to leave school because she attacked someone.”

Maisie was expressionless, but her eyes were dark while she quietly sized Xyla up.

Xyla went straight to the point. “If the news started spreading again, I’m afraid that your friend would
have to face some terrible criticism.”

The Hills had tried to silence the criticism. With Russel Hill’s need to protect his daughter, he would not
allow this to resurface.



If everyone learned about this in this era of advanced technology, Ryleigh would be easily attacked by
Internet users.

Maisie’s eyes turned darker.

She knew Ryleigh well. She wasn’t as strong as she seemed. She had a fragile heart and would never
be able to accept the criticism from the outside world. As such, she had chosen to hide in her shell and
rather be unassuming so that no one would notice her.

Xyla thought Maisie was going to compromise. “I don’t intend to make you my enemy because I’m
sincere about being the spokesperson for Soul. Also, my status and fan base will bring a lot more
benefits to you, so why do you pretend that it isn’t true?

Maisie could tell that Xyla wasn’t a kind person.

“How could you say that you’re sincere in collaborating but threaten me with my friend’s past?”
