Heres my take...
I think CC does not speak up and defend herself because of initial shock and then her natural tendency to deal with situations maturely. CC would have told Manav in private that she does not know the guy, and MAnav would have trusted her and would have had suspicion on his mom. Then CC would have suggested that they break up till they find the truth, again not wanting to paint a bad picture of UB without confirming. Remember, she still respects UB and does not want to hurt MAnav in the process, if their suspicions are not proved. She still gives benefit Of doubt to UB.
