His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1203 The Answer

The crowd thought that they had figured out the whole thing. Instead of criticizing Rachel and Holley,

they started to rebuke Sheryl and Isla.

For them, Sheryl and Isla were deliberately making trouble out of nothing.

"I agree with him. You should hold yourself responsible. Why blame it on others? It's not right!"

"Oh, yeah. Don't be so dramatic. It was just a fall. Nowadays, girls are so fragile. They always make too

much of a big deal out of nothing!" an old lady lectured scornfully. She also remarked that young people

were lazy and narrow-minded.

"What are you talking about? How could you say that? Are you blind or something? What if she has a

concussion due to this fall?" Isla berated those onlookers.

Pointing at Sheryl's face, she continued, "Can't you see that? Her face is swollen."

"It's not a big deal. She will be fine after she uses some ice bag at home," someone chimed in.

"Whoever takes a fall will get a puffy face. Don't be so fussy!"

When the one who expressed his opinion got a follower, most of the crowd would take his side and

reasoned out to justify that they were right.

None of them cared about the fact, let alone how the real victim felt.

"How about I trip you to the floor so that you will feel the pain my friend is suffering? I would like to see

if you could still say the same words?" Isla snapped, looking outraged. 'It is no doubt that those people

left their heads somewhere. We just wanted to have lunch.

Why would we end up in such big trouble? What's wrong with the world?' she thought angrily.

"You are being impossible and you refuse to admit that. But can't you see, the fall is a pure accident?

And now you are trying to blame us.

You are only making a fool of yourselves, don't you think?" Rachel broke in.

"What a petty girl! She deserves this!"

"Oh, yeah, she deserves this!"

The more Isla heard negative remarks from the onlookers, the more upset she got. 'These people are

really good at confusing right from wrong. No matter how hard I explain, they still think it is our fault,

and they see themselves as brave, honest heroes, ' she sighed with a speechless expression.

Holley and Rachel did not expect this to happen. After sweeping their gaze through the crowd of

onlookers, they let their focus finally settled on Sheryl. The irritated look on Sheryl's face amused them,

yet they hadn't shown the pleasure on their faces. They felt so good to see their enemy in an awkward

position.

"Sheryl, I think I don't need to say anything to defend myself. People are smart, and you can't fool

them. Your trick is definitely not going to work," Holley proceeded as she stared at Sheryl.

Sheryl was too angry to retort. Though she could still feel the sharp pain emanating from her face and

her knees, she hadn't checked her injury yet.

"Come on, guys! Please go back to your own seats. There is nothing more to watch. They don't mind

being a laughingstock, but we simply don't want to create a scene. I feel responsible though, I should

not have put my foot there," Holley said with a sigh, noticing that the audience had been on her side. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Young lady, don't say that. She will think that you are afraid of her, and she will continue to bully you. It

is her fault, not yours. She is at wrong, but she does not want to admit it. It is only a matter of honesty!"

a woman in her late forties pointed out, feeling sorry for Holley.

"Madam, you are right. But still, they made a scene because of me. I just want to let it go. You came

here to have lunch after all, but instead, you have watched us argue with each other. This is a public

place. I don't want to bother you," Holley replied, pretending to be a good girl.

"Look at this girl. How kind she is! That girl who fell is so mean!"

someone from the crowd exclaimed.

"Shut up, all of you! You are not the one who got injured. You have no say in this matter!" Isla couldn't

bear hearing them speak ill of her best friend anymore.

"I actually intend to let her go. After all, she and I have known each other for such a long time, even

though we have been against each other for years. But now that you think it is entirely my fault, I simply

can't let it go!" Sheryl, who hadn't extricated herself, slowly stood out. Stepping forward beside Isla, she

spoke while facing the crowd.

"In fact, it's easy to find out the truth. I'm sure this place has a monitoring system. If we want to figure it

out, we can go and check the security footage!"

Rachel and Holley turned pale. Holley had noticed that there was a surveillance camera on the corridor

when she had entered this place earlier.

'Once they check the surveillance video, they will find out that I set Sheryl up, ' Holley brooded with a

worried look.

'Once these people learn the truth, Holley and I will be in deep trouble, ' Rachel thought.

Rachel winked at Holley, and the latter nodded as she immediately understood what was on her boss'

mind. As soon as the crowd paid attention to Sheryl, Holley sneaked up to the counter. Several minutes

later, she cautiously returned to her seat seemingly undiscovered.

"Yes, that's right. The truth will prevail once we see the surveillance video," Isla went along with Sheryl.

"There is no need to waste time checking it. Obviously, you are wrong," one said to Isla.

"Aren't you so sure that it is my fault? So what? You are afraid to see the video. Are you worried that

you might find out that you misunderstand us?" Isla quipped provokingly.

"You must be kidding. You made a mistake. We have nothing to do with this. Why would we be afraid of

knowing the fact?"

"Now that you want to check the surveillance video, you can go ahead. Then we will know who to

blame!"

"I agree. We should let them go since they want to check the footage. Though I only have little time to

finish my lunch, I will let them realize their own mistake!" There were some young cynic and idlers

among the crowd who were against Isla and Sheryl.

No one would oppose their proposal at that time. What everyone wanted was the answer.
