Chapter 157
Bethany could not believe that Sheena could stiti mock her with such calmness. Frustrated, she was determined to embarrass Sheena thoroughly “Well then! Let’s see who’s going to be proven wrong and embarrassed!
As she said that, Bethany took out her phone, contacted her friend, and eventually obtained Jean’s number. Then, she dialed Jean’s number in front of the audience, putting the call on speakerphone.
The ringing sound of the phone made the atmosphere tense.
With victory seemingly within her grasp, Bethany stared at Sheena triumphantly. “If you admit right now that you’ve stolen these martial arts techniques and apologize to everyone here, acknowledging that you’re nothing more than a petty thief and a fraud, I might consider letting you off the hook.”
Pausing for effect, she smugly wiggled her phone before adding, “You have only a few seconds to decide. I’m sure you must be panicking inside, right?”
Sheena smiled, still refusing to respond as she stared at Bethany as if she were watching a
clown.
Bethany despised that look from her, but with Howard present and the public setting, she refrained from saying anything too extreme. Even so, she secretly vowed that once the situation was set in stone and Sheena had no chance of turning the tables, she would gouge out her eyes and see if she could still arrogantly stare at her!
As Bethany contemplated this, the ringing abruptly stopped, replaced by the voice of a woman who sounded in her fifties.
“Who is this?”
Bethany’s heart raced as this was her first time conversing with a martial arts figure as prominent as Jean. She suppressed her excitement, politely explaining, “Master Norris, I apologize for bothering you. It’s because we’ve discovered someone impersonating your disciple. When I confronted her, she didn’t admit it, so I had to call you to confirm.”
as
There was a two–second silence from the other end, followed by a slightly impatient tone, “I have only one disciple, William Birch.”
“Yes, yes, I know. However, the techniques this woman displayed are almost identical to yours, so I suspect that she’s stolen your martial arts…
Jean sounded a little irritated. “Who would dare to do such a thing? Impersonating my disciple and stealing my techniques? How shameless!”
With those words, nearly everyone in the audience understood the truth behind the matter, and Jean herself confirmed it!
Just moments ago, certain guests had praised Sheena, but now, they glared at her in anger, their eyes practically shooting daggers at her..
Bethany was overjoyed, holding her chin high triumphantly.
“You heard it yourself. Master Norris personally admitted you’re not her disciple. Are you
going to deny it now? You’ve angered her Let’s see how you’re going to survive this!”
Hewand frosted and was about to speak when Sheena grabbed his wrist.
Tydding a step forward, Sheena smirked and asked, “I never claimed to be jean’s disciple, so wh’s there to deny“”
Bethany was caught off guard.
Danie, teoland awkward. It seemed like he had brought up the claim, and Sheena had not admitted it, but she had not denied it either. That was all clearly an intentional attempt to create misunderstandings among everyone.
However, Sheena’s response did not satisfy the crowd. Instead, the voices of disdain grew stronger
Bethany snorted, “But you’ve stolen the master’s techniques. How do you explain that?”
Sheena covered her mouth, her smile growing even brighter. “Are you so sure that I stole from her and not the other way around? Maybe Jean learned from me?”
As this statement hit the crowd, they erupted in disbelief, and the voices of condemnation intensified.
“Oh my god! How dare she! Who gave her the audacity to act so arrogantly?”
“She even directly referred to Master Norris by her first name. She truly lacks manners! What a waste of such a beautiful face!”
Daniel shook his head as he finished listening, sighing that Sheena was beyond help.
