Viola's face flushed bright red.
Drops of wine kept dripping from her hair and clothes onto the cold floor, creating red flowers.
Viola blinked her eyes for a few times before she managed to open them. She saw a lot of people showed disgust on their faces.
"Viola, look at yourself. Will you throw the coffee on yourself?" Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Yesenia. "Miss Lu, in the face of such a liar, I suggest you call the security guard to kick her out."
Viola wiped the wine on her face and continued, "If I had known that you would treat me this way, I would have definitely poured the wine on Miss Lu first."
Although her body was wet and she did not know what to do, she held her arms with both hands and held herself up.
Suddenly, she felt a warm aura radiating from her body. Maynard walked towards her, took off his coat and put it on her.
At the thought of this, she felt less embarrassed.
As soon as he saw that her face and body were wet, Maynard's eyes became sharp all of a sudden. "Tell me what happened."
"Mr. Chu, here is the thing. Viola splashed wine on Miss Lu for no reason, but she didn't admit it. I can't stand it so I do it. I'll help her seek justice."
Before Viola could say something, Ivy interrupted and exaggerated.
Maynard cast a sharp glance at him and said, "She belongs to me. Nobody could hit her." Ivy's eyes sent a shiver down her spine.
Maynard took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the wine on her face for her. She tried to avoid it, but she failed. So she had to let him.
A hint of slyness flashed in Yesenia's eyes. She walked close to them, who lowered her eyelids, and looked depressed. "Mr. Chu, I hope you can help me deal with that matter. Today is my birthday, and I was splashed with wine all over without any reason. I don't think it's reasonable."
Viola avoided his hand and looked into her eyes calmly. "I don't want to admit it's my fault, because I didn't pour the wine on you."
All the people present didn't think she had changed her mind. Kelvin, who had invited Yesenia before, said in a sarcastic tone, "Miss Lu, ask the security guards to get the surveillance video here. Then the truth will be revealed, no matter who is right or wrong."
"What do you think, Miss Qi?" Asked Yesenia.
"Fine. I agree with you."
In the lobby, when the security guards checked out the video, everyone gathered around the computer to check. They found that from the video, Viola was holding a cup of wine which was taken from Yesenia.
A complicated feeling surged in Yesenia's heart. If he had known that the trouble maker had been so cruel to her, she would have stayed away from her.
"Can this prove that Viola poured?" Ivy was gloating.
"I agree with you!"
Those present complimented.
"It only proves that she took the glass, but it can't prove that she poured the wine." Maynard said in a meaningful tone. "If you want to know the truth, you'd better get the surveillance video of the corridor first."
The security guard was surprised and confused, "Miss Lu?"
"Yes, sir! Take it easy!"
The bodyguards were brought to the hallway according to their request. After they received the instruction, they found the screen was black.
"What happened?" Maynard frowned.
"The monitoring may be broken." the security guard moved his hand away from the mouse after checking it again
There was a silence.
Viola was in a bad mood.
This meant, even though no one could prove that it was she who splashed the wine, and no one could prove her innocence at the same time.
