A bitter smile crept on Kitty's face as she spoke to Charles in a shaky voice, "I know that you love Sheryl so it's natural for you to always believe in her. I can understand that." "But this time, it has something to do with my reputation. So, I hope Mr. Lu could make a fair judgement," she added.
While staring affectionately at Charles, she continued, "If Mr. Lu still chooses to believe Sheryl, then I have no other choice but to accept it. I have to admit that I am inferior to her. She is always skillful in seducing a man, anyway."
"Kitty, are you still going to inflict injustice to Sheryl? Don't you have any remorse at all?" asked Charles while pointing at Sheryl. He sneered and gave Kitty a cold stare.
Although Charles had drunk a lot, fortunately the last bottle only contained water.
Alice had been watching over Charles from the beginning of the game because she was afraid that Charles would be framed. So when she noticed that Kitty and the other models were lurking outside, she took the opportunity to pour out the liquor and replaced it with water. That was also why Charles was confident to drink it.
As she heard Charles' words, Kitty was taken aback and she felt anxious. She thought that Charles would be forced to be impartial when faced with many people. However, she didn't expect that he would still speak for Sheryl.
At the thought of this, Kitty laughed grimly. She turned to Charles and said in an aggrieved tone, "It seems that Mr. Lu has always been determined to trust Sheryl and speak for her."
"Yes, of course! That is exactly what I will always do," replied Charles with a sneer. Initially, Charles had planned to talk to Kitty in private when all people left. After all, she was a woman and he wanted to give her some face. But he didn't expect that things would turn out this way.
Now that it was Kitty who took the initiative to screw things up, Charles decided to disregard her feeling anymore.
"Absolutely, I will believe in Sheryl's words. Or do you expect me to believe you instead?" asked Charles in a cold tone. The sneer didn't leave his face while he helped Sheryl to sit by his side carefully. When Alice saw it, she hastily put a clean towel around Sheryl's shoulders. After making sure that Sheryl was already fine, Charles then turned to Kitty and was ready to give her a punishment.
However, Kitty was still kept in the dark so she laughed scornfully and continued, "Well, perhaps you are already in a relationship with Sheryl. And now that she is your lover, it is natural for you to trust her and be partial towards me. So, what are you going to do with me then?"
Sheryl trembled in anger upon hearing Kitty's words but she chose not to say anything. Charles patted her shoulder and smiled softly to comfort her so she was a little bit relieved.
Taking a glimpse at Kitty who was still acting like an overlord, Charles said, "You said that I am a prejudiced. Now, to prove me wrong, you have to show me an evidence that would show Sheryl really just slipped by herself because I always believe that she would never create troubles intentionally."
"What kind of evidence are you still looking for? There are so many people here and they probably saw what happened too. Just as the old saying goes, 'Four eyes see more than two'. I was at the end of the line that time so I clearly saw she slip." Kitty also sneered to Charles and continued, "Mr. Lu, you said earlier that you would give me a chance to explain. But from the looks of it, you are still trying to defend Sheryl no matter what I say. Why don't you just tell me exactly what you want to say? There's no need for you to beat around the bush.
Where do you think should I find the evidence you are looking for?" Finally, Kitty had stopped her illusions. It was clear to her now that Charles would never trust her. He only believed in Sheryl. "I have only seen it with my own eyes so I really don't have any idea where to find the evidence you want," she added.
"You are lying!" Charlie's voice was abruptly heard. He composedly walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Kitty.
Sheryl was stunned to have heard Charlie's voice. She gazed at him and persuaded him, "Charlie, don't get involved in this matter. Just go and play with Shirley. I will be fine. There is nothing to worry about."
However, Charlie just stood still as if he didn't hear anything. Although he was much shorter than Kitty, he was calm yet a little bit furious. He glared at Kitty and asked in a rather cold voice, "You've just said that you saw her slip with your own eyes, right?"
