Everyone thought Sydney's words made sense.
Indeed, from the beginning, it was all Madeline’s talking, but no one knew if it was true.
Although Madeline made those allegations against Sydney, she provided no evidence.
Without proof, it was not sure if Madeline was speaking the truth.
If Madeline's allegations were not certain, why did she claim that Sydney had done those things?
People didn't realize that before, but now they came to their senses. They realized that Sydney was right and that Madeline was trying to convince people and make them believe that Sydney had done those things.
Then they would join Madeline in accusing Sydney of being the daughter of her mom and another man, not her dad, and bullying her sister.
Therefore, it seemed uncertain who the vicious woman was.
Even if Sydney had done those things, Madeline was not a mere innocent woman.
Immediately, the enlightened reporters and audience began to look at Madeline with different ideas.
One reporter asked aloud, "Madeline, since you claimed Ms. Raines bullied you and your mother, do you have proof?"
"Yes. You also said that Ms. Raines was not your father's daughter, but you have not given any proof. If you can't prove that Ms. Raines is her mother's daughter with another man and not your father's, can we suspect that you are setting Ms. Raines up because you are not happy that Ms. Raines has more shares than you do?"
"Yes. Madeline, please explain! If you can't provide any proof, what you said online can be considered defamatory. You could be sued in court."
Faced with the reporters' questions, Madeline was so anxious that her chest heaved and her eyes turned red.
A second ago, she was happy at the reporters' questioning of Sydney and Julien.
Unexpectedly, now the reporters started questioning her. And, the thing was, Madeline really couldn't provide any evidence.
"Madeline, why don't you answer our questions?"
"Were you lying?"
As Madeline was silent, the reporters questioned her once again.
The audience in the live-stream room also commented.
"See? When the reporters asked Madeline for evidence, she looked flustered."
"Yeah, I saw that. I guess she was nervous because she was lying. It looked like what my brother does all the time. When my brother does something wrong but doesn't want to admit it, that's how he acts. I'm too familiar with that."
"So Madeline was lying?"
"I bet she was. Now I'm 100 percent sure Madeline was lying. If she was telling the truth, why couldn't she provide evidence? She should have provided evidence and reported it to the police yesterday when she was telling it online. However, she didn't give any evidence or call the police. She just whined about it online. That doesn't seem right, does it?"
"Exactly! If I were Madeline, I would have reported it to the police."
Although Madeline couldn't see the comments in the live-stream room, seeing the reporters' attitudes, she could guess what people were saying about her online.
Madeline clenched her palms and replied, her eyes flickering, "I... I don't have any evidence of Sydney bullying me. That was when we were kids. How can I have proof?"
"Madeline, do you have proof about Ms. Raines being not your father's daughter?" The reporters held out their microphones to Madeline.
Madeline glanced at Sydney, who was sitting on the stage. Then Madeline’s panic was gone, and she gave a sinister smile. "Yes, I have evidence about that."
Madeline thought Sydney would be nervous about her words.
Madeline was about to reveal Sydney's identity to the whole world, and Sydney should be afraid.
