NovelEnglishChapter 84
No big deal?
Sylvia let out a sarcastic chuckle, her eyes downcast as she spoke. "Officer, you've heard it all. They're not
admitting to anything, and Ms. Simpson has testified on their behalf. As the plaintiff, | demand they produce
evidence to refute my accusations, especially the so- called evidence of‘flirting’ or 'provoking' them. And
let's not forget... Ms. Simpson's oh-so-certain testimony that | was trying to climb the social ladder by taking
shortcuts.
You're officers, equipped with body cams at all times. Surely, they can't just change their stories now, can they?"
When the words fell, the three were dumbfounded. Especially Bridget, whose smugness turned to shock in an
instant. She had been sitting quietly, not causing any trouble until she decided to be a bit too clever for her own
good. Now, none of them could escape the consequences.
The officer nodded. "The body cams have been recording this whole time. Everything said has been logged. Do
you have any evidence to back up your claims?"
Bridget had brought this upon herself and took a moment to gather her thoughts. She moved to sit next to
Rupert, tears welling up in her eyes. "Rupert, | just wanted to smooth things over for the Garcia family. After all, if
word of this gets out, it's not just Sylvia's reputation that's tarnished, but the Garcias' as well."
She hoped the mention of the Garcia family would prompt Rupert to speak on her behalf.
Sylvia knew Rupert would likely do just that, so she quickly interjected. "Bridget, are you saying you have no
evidence, yet you've accusedof seduction just to gain fame? That's defamation. As a woman, and
supposedly the future Mrs. Garcia, you're not only embarrassing your fiancé but also tarnishing the Garcia

Bridget's face turned pale at the accusation. But being quick-witted, she quickly grasped the gravity of her
situation. She began to feign weakness, her sobs breaking through as her eyes reddened with apparent sorrow.
"Sylvia, I'm sorry. | know you're upset because | pulled Rupert away, but | honestly didn't think your seniors
would treat you that way. | saw how happily you were all drinking together and thought you were on good terms.
It was my misunderstanding. Please, scoldif you must."
Her apology, though seemingly contrite, was carefully veiled. It backtracked on her earlier stance while subtly
reviving the rumor about the night Sylvia and Rupert spent together, painting Sylvia as jealous and unreasonable
in the process.
Sylvia wasn't about to let Bridget shift the narrative, cutting straight to the point. "Bridget, my question was
whether you have evidence. You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no'." Caught off guard, Bridget choked back tears,
remaining silent.
The officer made a decision. "Ms. Simpson, please answer the question directly. Do you have any evidence? Or
can you prove it was Ms. Lloyd who initiated anything?" Bridget clenched her teeth, glancing at Rupert for
support.
However, Rupert was engrossed in his coffee, seemingly oblivious to the unfolding.
With her lips pressed tightly together, Bridget shook her head. "No."
The officer frowned. "Ms. Simpson, please be responsible with your words from now on!"
Bridget, usually so serene and dignified, looked as if she had been slapped in public. She sat stiffly, like a
prisoner in a cell, her humiliation palpable.
Sylvia, however, merely smiled.
