Chapter 188 Morgana Has Poor Memory
This insincere apology almost made Adeline burst into laughter.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced at Morgana and said, "So, according to you, you only knew that Ms. Foster's previous name was Adeline, but you had no idea that there was another person named Adeline in the world, right?"
Morgana faintly furrowed his brows and remained silent.
"Of course he didn't know!"
Morris sneered, "If he knew that Ms. Wilson and Adeline were not the same person, and still acted this way, he was deliberately making things difficult for you."
"Morgana has been the butler of the Evelyn's Family for over twenty years, so he must have some ability."
"I see."
Adeline took a deep breath and quietly pressed a button on her necklace.
After hearing a faint "beep" sound, she chuckled and continued, "So, according to Morgana, if he actually knew that I and Adeline were two separate individuals, then his actions were intentional?"
The woman's words made Morgana, who was standing beside her, suddenly pale.
He glanced nervously at Stella beside him.
Stella narrowed her eyes, walked forward, and gently held Adeline's hand. "Ms. Wilson, you're taking this too seriously.
"Morgana looks like he's in his fifties or sixties. At that age, memory loss is possible.
"Even if he heard your name before, he might not remember it."
Morgana hesitated for a moment and quickly nodded. "Yes, I'm getting old, my memory is fading!"
Adeline narrowed her eyes.
She withdrew her hand from Stella's grasp and asked calmly, "Morgana has a poor memory?"
With that, she glanced at Morris and continued, "As the wealthiest person, entrusting all the affairs of the Evelyn's Family to an elderly person with a poor memory?"
Adeline's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake at the venue, instantly stirring up waves of discussion.
The atmosphere became lively.
People began to whisper, the discussions escalating from small talk to more exaggerated claims.
Jasper stood behind Adeline with his arms crossed, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Foolish.
Claiming that the steward of a prominent family had a poor memory in managing their affairs was far more serious than mistakenly calling Adeline by another name intentionally!
Thinking this, Jasper cast a glance at Adeline with appreciation.
As the murmurs in the venue grew louder, Morris furrowed his brows and coldly stated, "Morgana is in good health, both physically and mentally!"
He then turned to Stella with a cold stare. "How much does Ms. Foster really know about our family? Spreading rumors that our steward has a poor memory?"
Stella was momentarily stunned by the scolding.
When had her father ever treated her like this?
However, after a moment of thought...
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and lowered her head. "I was wrong. I thought that like my parents, Morgana's memory would decline with age.
"It turns out that the steward of the Evelyn's Family is different from mediocre individuals like my parents."
Adeline furrowed her brows slightly.
Although she was relatively indifferent to familial ties, hearing Stella publicly disparage the Evelyn's family made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Morris wore a similarly displeased expression.
On the surface, Stella seemed to be praising Morgana while belittling her parents, but in reality, she was mocking her own father!
He rolled up his sleeves. "Alright, Morgana made a mistake with the names on his own accord, and he has apologized. Let's disperse!"
If these people continued to gather, it might lead to a major disturbance.
"Wait."
Adeline took a deep breath and looked at the email Blake had sent her on her phone.
After activating the button on her necklace earlier, Blake had heard all the conversations here.
Blake had already sent over the evidence.
Adeline elegantly walked over and stood in the center of the crowd. "Morgana, can I borrow a projector?"
Five minutes later, Adeline connected her phone to the projector and opened a file.
"This document contains the statistics of the internet users who have been slandering me in Dawnvale for the past few days.
"Based on the IP addresses and signal sources, it was determined that these internet users are from registered networks in other countries.
"And the legal representative of this network company is Morgana."
The crowd erupted once again in astonishment.
Morris turned his head in shock to look at Morgana.
Morgana discreetly gestured toward Stella without saying a word.
Morris covered his face.
Neither Stella nor Morgana had his consent for their actions!
If he had known earlier, he would never have made those harsh remarks just now!
"But..."
At this moment, Luna, who had been silent, furrowed her brows. "It's just a company under Morgana's name. They only handle orders and don't need to know who the clients are."
Adeline chuckled lightly. "Yes, Evelyn gets to the point."
She then opened another folder.
"After finding out the connection between the internet users defaming me and Morgana, I went to great lengths to investigate this company.
"Finally, I found a person in charge.
"After promising this person better working conditions, he revealed a conversation recording between me and Morgana."
Adeline elegantly played the audio.
"It's not enough, add more people, we must bring Adeline down!
"Make them smear Adeline as a third party.
"When insulting Adeline, praise Ms. Foster at the same time!"
Each sentence was spoken by Morgana himself.
The crowd erupted once more.
As the recording finished playing, Morgana felt like his world was crumbling.
Morris's face turned ashen.
The evidence was undeniable.
Adeline raised her gaze. "Morgana, what do you have to say now?
"Did you forget the specific instructions to bring me down?
"Or perhaps, today you intentionally confused my name with Ms. Foster's to embarrass me?"
In fact, before coming here, Blake had already thoroughly investigated Morgana's affairs.
Adeline had refrained from revealing this earlier because she knew that Morgana was just a pawn.
The real culprit behind the plot against her was already clear.
However, since Morgana had now come forward to take the blame for the name mix-up, she would let him have his way.
"I..."
Morgana bit his lip, about to speak, but Stella couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Morgana, why are you doing this to yourself?"
She wiped her tears, crying softly, "Spreading rumors that Ms. Wilson is interfering in my relationship with Jasper, what good does it do for you?"
