Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 563 Planned to Push Her Overboard

After the engagement ceremony, Yozan walked slowly toward Hank in the corner, his gaze intense.

"Mr. Damazio, I would like an explanation," he said. Hank turned around, meeting the man's cold,

unapproachable expression.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Harley?" Hank asked.

"You're aware that Cecelia fell into the water while being here, aren't you?"

Hank knew of the incident but had no leads at the moment. "So, what kind of explanation do you want

from me?"

Yozan played with the ring on his thumb, his smile growing deeper. "I've already found out what

happened to Cecelia, and all that's left now is for Mr. Damazio to get rid of your beloved."

His smile was pleasant, but the chill in his voice was unmistakable. When he mentioned 'get rid,'

Hank's eyebrows twitched slightly as he sensed something was off. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"My men have already found out who caused Cecelia's accident. It's quite unfortunate, but the person

is a member of your Damazio Family. Furthermore, this person has confessed that they were acting on

orders from your Mrs. Damazio herself."

Yozan's words implied that Yelena was the mastermind behind the whole incident. Hank's expression

immediately grew cold.

"That's impossible. She's being framed."

"I've already investigated the matter thoroughly. If I don't have evidence, why would I bother coming to

you?"

Yozan was no longer civil, thinking Hank was trying to defend Yelena.

"Earlier, I didn't say anything to save your reputation during your engagement ceremony. However, if

you insist on defending her, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yelena didn't know that such a thing was happening and rushed over while holding her dress after

finishing up some business. She immediately threw her arms around Hank, complaining, "You don't

know how tired I am. Engagement parties are such a hassle."

"Miss Sullivan, you're just in time. Perhaps you can explain why you harmed Cecelia."

Yelena was in shock from being accused and was at a loss for words. "What are you talking about? I

didn't harm anyone."

"Acting innocent, huh?" Yozan sneered. "How foolish."

"Who are you calling foolish? What's wrong with you? You were fine earlier. Why are you suddenly like

this?"

Yozan took a deep breath, his face turning sour. Most of the guests had already left, and Elspeth and

Callum were also coming over to say their goodbyes. Seeing Yelena almost on the verge of tears,

Elspeth was surprised.

"What's going on? Is it because of what happened earlier?"

"No, Elspeth. He's accusing me of harming Cecelia. I don't even know what's going on." Yelena pointed

angrily at Yozan, almost collapsing from rage.

Elspeth was taken aback by Yozan's boldness, and although she was bewildered, her anger toward the

accusation against Yelena couldn't be suppressed. Therefore, when she spoke, her voice was icy. "Mr.

Harley, I'm not sure how much you've had to drink, but your words are becoming increasingly careless

and thoughtless."

"This has nothing to do with you, Miss Lynwood. It's best if you don't get involved," Yozan said. He

couldn't involve her due to their familiarity with each other. Furthermore, this matter really had nothing

to do with her. "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? The individual you're bullying happens

to be my beloved Yelena. In all of Damoria, nobody would have the audacity to make her suffer in my

presence."

Elspeth raised her chin and was determined to protect her friend. Callum was a bit more composed and

asked, "What happened?"

Yozan expressed his suspicion, saying, "It's regarding Cecelia's fall into the water, and Yelena could be

the one behind it."

Yelena immediately remembered what had happened in the morning and became angry at Yozan's

accusation. "What are you talking about, Yozan? I tried to save her, and now you accuse me of causing

it? You have a terrible mind!"

"I have a terrible mind? I think you have the biggest motive for doing this," Yozan said. Then, he made

a call, and soon, a person ran in. Then, the person knelt on the ground without saying a word. Elspeth

carefully studied the person. The man had a strong physique but was not tall, and he had dark, shiny

skin.

"Do you know this guy, Miss Sullivan?" Yozan asked.

Yelena casually glanced at the man on the ground and snorted, "Where did you find this man? Did you

get him to frame me as a witness?"

The man on the ground panicked. His eyes went wide, and he looked frantic. "Mrs. Damazio, you told

me to do it. Yet, you deny knowing me?"

"When did I tell you to do that? Don't frame me!" Yelena tugged on Hank's sleeve and said desperately,

"I didn't do anything, and I don't know him."

Hank was silent for a moment and asked, "Dino, why did you frame Mrs. Damazio?"

Dino heard this and became anxious. He spoke with a bit of an accent from his hometown, "I didn't

frame Mrs. Damazio. I speak the truth. It was a moment of madness that led me to push Miss Cecelia

into the water. I shouldn't have been greedy for money. I'm willing to accept the punishment from you,

Mr. Damazio."

He bowed on the ground, almost certain of the outcome.

"See? Someone has come out to testify against you. What else can you say? You'd better admit it and

pay the price," Yozan said impatiently.

"I didn't do it! No matter how many times you say it, I will not admit to something I haven't done!"

Yelena was angry. She walked straight to Dino and grabbed his clothes. "I don't even know you. Who

sent you to frame me?"

"Mrs. Damazio, just admit it." Dino raised his head, glancing nervously at Hank and Yozan before

lowering his head again. "I think it's wrong to lie to people."

"Yet, you lied even though you think it's wrong. This boatman from the Damazio Family sure is

something." Elspeth laughed, covering her mouth. She laughed heartily, but in the quiet atmosphere,

her laughter seemed a bit frightening.

"How did you know he's a boatman? I didn't say anything about his identity." As Elspeth nonchalantly

revealed the boatman's identity, Yozan's suspicion grew stronger. Perhaps, his earlier speculation was

wrong; Elspeth could have been involved, too.

"Stop staring at me like that, Mr. Harley. Don't you observe someone when you meet them for the first

time? Short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and vests are obvious signs of a boatman's attire. Plus, his skin is

dark from working by the water for years. If I'm right, he should be a southerner, too." Elspeth smiled

and looked at Dino as if she could see through him, making him feel a bit uneasy. Dino couldn't

articulate his feelings, but his inner sense of unease continued to intensify.
