Chapter 551
Chapter 551:
Janice’s words hit like a blade, slicing through Delilah’s carefully crafted facade. “You’ve been repeating that Daryl forced you into everything, but from where I’m standing, it looks like you enjoyed every moment of it. Tell me, do you even remember how you got your qualifications? Or should we ask the institutions you supposedly attended if you ever actually pursued further studies?”
With every sentence, Delilah’s face grew paler and her confidence drained away. Her body began to tremble, and the mask of innocence and vulnerability she wore so well started to crack.
“Janice, stop being so harsh. Delilah is innocent, and she can prove it against your baseless accusations,” Daniel blurted out, finally regaining his voice, though his defense sounded almost desperate. “I trust you, Delilah.”
Delilah’s pupils contracted as she turned to look at Daniel.
A moment ago, she thought Daniel could be an ally, but now she deeply regretted that assumption.
Janice had been right all along—this man’s brain was clearly out of order. Instead of saving her, his words were dragging him straight toward a figurative cliff.
This time, Janice wasn’t angry but rather amused.
How ironic that Delilah’s so-called ally had turned into the very person shoving her closer to disaster. It was almost comical.
Meanwhile, online viewers began to wake up to the truth, Janice’s sharp words cutting through the haze of Delilah’s act.
“Janice is spot on. Even if Delilah’s mother pressured her, plagiarism is inexcusable. Delilah had the Edwards family’s resources—she could’ve succeeded on her own without resorting to theft.”
“Wow, I was so close to falling for her act. Delilah’s just a manipulative snake, playing the victim for sympathy while scheming behind everyone’s back!”

“Does she really take us for idiots? Someone like her doesn’t deserve to be here. She should just pack up and leave already.”
Devin wiped his forehead nervously, watching as the tide of public opinion turned ruthlessly against Delilah.
This was Alissa’s doing, bringing in a liability like Delilah. Now, he found himself stuck in a dilemma. Should he kick Delilah out?
Doing so might risk offending Alissa, but letting her stay would tarnish the show’s reputation and invite a flood of backlash.
Alissa’s eyes narrowed into icy slits as she fixed a piercing glare on Delilah.
In her mind, Delilah was utterly useless, crumbling under a few sharp words from Janice. If Delilah couldn’t hold her ground, she would have no choice but to discard her as dead weight.
“Janice!” Delilah’s voice cracked, tears spilling down her cheeks in streaks of desperation. “I admit it! I’ve made terrible mistakes in the past. But I only did it because I wanted so badly to prove myself. I took shortcuts, and I know that was wrong. I see it clearly now. Please, just give me a chance to make things right.”
As she spoke, she dropped to her knees, gripping her hands together in a desperate plea.
Her sheer vulnerability hung heavy in the air, and the sight of her kneeling struck a deep chord with everyone present. It was painfully clear she was laying everything bare, willing to risk it all.
