Chapter 256 Confrontation
“Did you have any disputes with Ms. Adams before? Why would she push you?” Someone couldn’t help but speak up
Ronald, upon hearing the commotion, hurried over. He embraced the role of the protective father and interrupted. “That’s right, don’t talk nonsense! We don’t know who you are: why would we have any reason to trouble you? What reason would Maggie have to do such a thing!
“Bun his posture does indeed resemble someone who’s been shoved,” another person analyzed logically.
Struggling for a moment. Ben raised his head with reddened eyes. He reasoned, “Perhaps I accidentally bumped into Ms. Adam and displeased her.”
At his words, a wave of gasps spread through the bystanders.
Feeling mad after a collision was understandable, but pushing someone down the stairs out of anger seemed way too malicious.
The crowd’s gaze on Maggic took on a new, inexplicable meaning.
Maggie was not in a hurry to defend herself. She retorted coldly. “If you really bumped into me and didn’t apologise. I could simply file a complaint with the hotel. I believe being accused of an attempted murder. and getting you fired would make me happier than watching you fall down these stairs in front of everyone.
Nathael’s gaze was icy as he examined the compliant man before him. He asked in a deep voice, “Since you’re accusing Maggie, do you have any evidence?”
Ben grew tense at the question. He glanced involuntarily at the second–floor staircase’s position.
The hotel had surveillance cameras, of course, but they didn’t cover all areas. Ben had noted before that the stairwell was one of the blind spots.
It was precisely the reason for him to boldly strike at that spot.
If he were to formally accuse Maggie, he would naturally lack the evidence.
Beth stood among the crowd and watched the scene with a cold gaze. She found the waiter to be quite smart. Despite the failed plan, his accusation against Maggie had caused her some trouble. Beth found the situation somewhat satisfying.
“What kind of evidence could there be? Sir, do you believe I am framing her? I’m merely a waiter. How could I have the nerve to offend a guest?”
Ben looked towards Nathael with a hint of panic. His eyes had turned red, making him appear helpless
and wronged.
Nathael’s gaze was profound. He looked directly at Ben and said coldly, “So, you mean we’re plotting against you?”
Maggie noticed he had taken the blame on himself; she couldn’t help but frown.
The waiter had pointed the finger directly at her, but he used the term ‘we. Although she was confident in

This was something she vowed never to repeat in her lifetime.
Gently grasping Nathael’s fingers, Maggie looked at Ben and said, “While there may not be surveillance at the second–floor stairwell, there are always cameras in other locations. You just mentioned you were going downstairs to replace a wine glass, which means the wine service you were providing was on the second floor for the guests.”
Ben furrowed his brow slightly, uncertain of Maggie’s intent.
Maggie’s voice, clear and pleasing to the car like a mountain stream, drew in the surrounding audiences. They listened as she spoke with calm authority, free from any rush or panic.
“In that case, would you please tell us which guests you served the wine to before? And where were you when the guests took it?” Maggie looked straight at Ben and challenged him with her question.
Ben was stunned briefly before stammering. “How… how could I possibly
how could I possibly remember? With so many guests at the banquet, it’s impossible to remember everyone. You’re giving me a hard time.”
