Chapter 163 Not the First Choice
It was apparent to everyone that something was amiss. No one would blatantly resort to physical violence, especially against a pregnant woman. Even if their relationship was strained, such actions were unthinkable,
If such a deed were to occur, it would have to be shrouded in secrecy, never to be discovered.
in that moment, Cyril’s gaze held a tinge of reproach towards Silvia, while towards Karina, it bore a hint of pity.
This incident seemed to strip away the veil covering their past relationship, exposing the rot within.. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Silvia stood tall, refusing to falter. He knew he would face embarrassment, but his pride forbade him from bowing down. Things were different now. In the past, he would lower his noble head out of affection, but that need no longer existed,
“It wasn’t like that.” Karina attempted to explain, but her words faltered as she glanced timidly towards Silvia, sensing his indignation.
Silvia chuckled upon hearing Karina’s words. “Oh really? Then tell me, what happened? Are you absolutely certain it was me who pushed you? Let me warn you, if you dare to accuse nie, there are surveillance cameras here, and many witnesses. If you can prove it was me, then we can discuss it with evidence. If not, I can easily sue you for defamation.”
Silvia stood firm, locking eyes with Karina. She remained silent, biting her lip, her gaze pleading towards Cyril.
At this point, Cyril too fell silent initially angered, he had immediately assumed Sibia was mistreating Karina. Yet upon reflection, Silvia’s logic was flawless. It was inconceivable that he
would commit such an act
Silvia had endured enough injustice over the years.
“I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. If it’s his fault, I’ll make sure he apologizes to you,” Cyril finally spoke, his posture unwavering, his gaze carrying a hint of remorse
towards Silva.
Silvia smiled at Cyril’s words. What did he intend to convey with that remorseful gaze?
“In your mind, I have never been your first choice. Regardless of the circumstances, your initial reaction always blames me. Even though I am the greatest victim in these situations, you never consider my side, instead opting to accuse me. You want him to apologize to me now, but ask yourself, would you truly let him? Wouldn’t making him apologize hurt him deeply?” Sihia’s words left Cyril speechless.
Cyril fell into silence once again, pondering over his relationship with Silvia over the years. Indeed, as Sivia had pointed out, his first reaction in any situation was never in favor of Silvia. Despite knowing that Silvia had once saved him, this habit remained unaltered.
Habits persisted because they were immutable.
“You know you’re incapable of such an act. Why bother saying these things to me! Even if the surveillance footage shows otherwise, you would go to great lengths to protect his reputation. This isn’t the first time you’ve done such things. I’m simply too tired to argue with you anymore. Therefore, I demand the surveillance footage be reviewed,” Silva asserted
In the past, when he felt wronged, silvia would try everything to gain Cyril’s support. However, realizing that he couldn’t stir any emotions in Cyril, he chose to bury his grievances. Eventually, he
endured silently, allowing everyone to perceive him as easy prey. But he wasn’t that person. Since fairness couldn’t be granted by others, he would seize it himself.
“Please inform Mr. Miles that the doctor might need his attention elsewhere tonight. Any losses incurred here will be borne by our van Group, Bruce intervened, clearly stating his allegiance to Silvia and his determination to resolve the matter Cyril’s expression turned sour.
He hadn’t expected Bruce to wholeheartedly stand by Silvia’s side. Didn’t he worry about the consequences? If something went wrong, wouldn’t Sihia embarrass him?
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve already had the surveillance footage retrieved. If anyone wishes to know the truth, they can move to the main hall to view it”
Although Miles wasn’t present, as the host of the banquet, he was aware of everything transpiring Hence, without anyone’s instruction, he had already obtained the surveillance footage.
Now that Bruce’s intentions were known, he unhesitatingly sold out this favor. After all, Silvia had helped him both morally and practically; he ought to return the favor.
Soon, everyone became curious about the surveillance footage. They all gathered in the main hall, where a large screen had been set up, playing the footage from the nearby computer
The footage was clear, Silvia was the first to enter the garden, standing by the pool, seemingly engrossed in his phone. He then moved to sit on the side, maintaining a distance of three meters from the pool.
Subsequently, Karina approached, engaging in a conflict with a waiter who kept apologizing before being dismissed by Karina
After circling around, Karina noticed silvia seated nearby and approached him Silva glanced at her but didn’t respond, continuing with his task
At this point, it was evident that Karina approached salvia. Otherwise, the subsequent events wouldn’t have unfolded.
People instinctively turned to Karina and Silvia. Silvia remained composed, while Karina appeared somewhat flustered
Shia also turned to see Karina, who was still clad in damp clothes, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “Aren’t you pregnant? Why haven’t you changed your clothes? Are you planning to continue tarnishing my image after watching the surveillance footage? Maybe even blame your cold or miscarriage on me?”
