When Xiong Wuyue 'fainted', Xiong Zhi took this as her desperate escape. Well, Xiong Wuyue fainting at her father's trial was a good headline for tomorrow. So Xiong Zhi took it and left graciously.
The next day, the news about Xiong De's verdict became the main topic of every news channel in Country C. Additionally, Xiong Wuyue's interview when she was 'hiding' at VX Island fanned the flames of Xiong De's trial.
There was even a footage when Xiong Wuyue was bombarded by the reporters and fainted in the court.
There was no mention of Xiong Zhi slapping Xiong Wuyue, or their little show. It was only mentioned that the heiress accused Xiong Wuyue of being in cahoots with Xiong De on her attempted rape and Xiong Wuyue's absolute denial of it.
Xiong Wuyue burst into rage after watching the news. Her screams and frantic shouts in the second branch's Xiong Mansion scared the maids.
"Where is the water army?!"
