His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1204

The situation worsened as none of them was ready to admit their misdoing. All they wanted was to see and enjoy the awkwardness of Sheryl and Isla. All the people in the restaurant had stopped eating and gravitated towards the four of them.

Holley slightly nodded at Rachel and she immediately picked up the hint with an easy smile on her face.

Isla walked to the cashier's counter and said to one of the workers, "Excuse me, sir, may I check the real-time monitoring recording, please?"

"I'm sorry, miss. But according to the rules of our company, the surveillance videos are forbidden to be checked," the worker replied politely, bowing himself in front of Isla.

Isla creased her brows upon hearing the reply. However, she maintained her composure and insisted, "Why? I'm not asking for your secret video, I am just asking for the daily ones. I'm sure that they're not your secret videos, so why can't I check it? Could you please give me an answer?" Isla was angry when she heard that she couldn't check any videos, even the daily passenger's videos. However, she knew that she could not lose her temper right now. The priority at the moment was to prove that Holley was responsible for the entire debacle and for that she needed the cooperation of the restaurant staff. Hence she knew that she had to deal with the situation through logic and reasoning.

"I'm very sorry, miss, I have to abide by the company rules. I'll appreciate it if you can respect my work. Thank you," the worker replied in a flat manner and stood in front of Isla with his eyes lowered displaying respect. He posed as if he was helpless and could not fulfill Isla's demands out of the fear of losing his job.

Isla couldn't believe it, and said, "What's gotten into your boss' head? Can he really fire you just because of such a small thing?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? He told you that you couldn't see the videos, and that's the company's rules. Just let him be, okay?" The crowd around the four of them, who were silent spectators until now, started voicing their opinions. "Why don't you just get out of here? Don't presume that no one knows what happened. We were all present right here. We have seen it all. You can't blame someone like this," came from an unknown face.

"Yeah, it's obvious to see what happened. There's no need for the surveillance video. It's the company leaders who set the rules but not the workers, can you please stop making trouble for him?" another one said.

"Get out of here, you two stupid cows! We're here to have our meal. Don't make trouble for yourself. You're not welcomed here." another woman said angrily.

"Get out of here! Get out!"

More people began to yell at them.

"Just get out of here! You make me sick. Look at you, who do you think you are? Do you really think you are someone that matters? You just accidentally fell down, but you disturbed all the people over here. How can you do that?"

Sheryl turned around and protested, "We just wanted to make sure what had happened, and we didn't do anything to bring trouble to others. Why should we get out? Who are you to tell us whether we have the right to be here or not?"

Sheryl stood strong at the face of crowd hurling abuses on them. The people turned deaf ears to the logic she gave and insisted that Sheryl and Isla should leave so that peace could be restored in the restaurant. "No! You don't have any right to stay here today. Why don't you just shut your mouth and get out of here right now? Or you are waiting for me to throw you out!" Sheryl and Isla didn't expect to be snowed under by the strangers in this manner. As they were being hurled with abuses and curses, Holley and Rachel stood by the side and enjoyed the scene. They put up innocent looks on their faces and occasionally shared candid glances and sly smiles with each other.

Sheryl was now standing at the center of the storm, and she could feel the abuses falling on her like stones and arrows being hurled at her. Yet, she tried to stand strong and fought back as much as she could. Slowly, they could feel the crowd getting the upper hand. Sheryl could not find any good clue to turn the situation in their favor.

Isla stood beside Sheryl, trying to protect her but still had no way. Holley and Rachel were looking down and sneering at them but did nothing to help them. But when Sheryl had almost lost all hope to escape the trap, a man's voice stormed through the hall, making everyone startled. The entire crowd looked around to see as he demanded an explanation.
