Chapter 163 Not the First <b>Choice</b>
It was apparent to everyone that something was amiss. No one would tantly resort to physical violence, especially against a pregnant woman. Even if their rtionship <b>was </b>strained, such actions were unthinkable,
If such a deed were to ur, it would have to be shrouded in secrecy, never to be discovered.
in that moment, Cyril’s gaze <b>held </b><b>a </b>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 rtionship, exposing the rot within..
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 <b>past</b>, he would lower his noble head out <b>of </b>affection, but that need no longer existed,Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
“It wasn’t like that.” Karina attempted to exin, but her words faltered as she <b>nced </b>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 use nie, there are surveince 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 <b>Sibia </b>was mistreating Karina. Yet upon reflection, <b>Silvia’s </b>logic was wless. It was inconceivable that he wouldmit 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<b>.</b>
Silvia smiled at Cyril’s words. What did he intend to convey with that remorseful gaze?
“In your mind, I <b>have </b><b>never </b>been your first choice. Regardless of the circumstances, your initial reaction always mes me. Even though I am the greatest victim in these situations, you never consider my side, instead opting to use 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 rtionship 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.
<b>“</b>You know you’re incapable of such an act. Why bother saying these things to me! Even if the surveince footage shows otherwise<b>, </b>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 surveince footage be <b>reviewed</b>,” 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 <b>grievances</b>. 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 <b>van </b>Group, Bruce intervened, clearly stating his <b>allegiance </b>to Silvia and his determination to resolve the matter Cyril’s expression turned sour.
He hadn’t expected Bruce to wholeheartedly <b>stand </b>by Silvia’s side. Didn’t he worry about the consequences? If something went wrong, <b>wouldn’t </b>Sihia embarrass him?
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve already had the surveince footage retrieved. If anyone wishes to know the <b>truth</b>, they can move to the main hall to view it”
Although Miles wasn’t present, as the host of the banquet, he <b>was </b>aware of everything transpiring Hence, without anyone’s instruction, he had already <b>obtained </b>the surveince footage.
Now that Bruce’s intentions were <b>known</b>, 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 surveince footage. They all gathered in the main hall, where arge screen had been set up, ying the footage from the nearbyputer
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 nced 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 <b>unfolded</b><b>.</b>
People instinctively turned to Karina and Silvia. Silvia remainedposed, while Karina appeared somewhat flustered
Shia also turned to see Karina, who was still d in damp clothes, a faint smirk ying on his lips. “Aren’t you pregnant? Why haven’t you changed your clothes? Are you nning to continue tarnishing my image after watching the surveince footage? Maybe even me your cold or miscarriage on me?”
