Chapter 56
Sebastian took the chance to say, “Miss Sparks, even if Vicky did not request that, isn’t it right for you to pick up Vicky’s belongings since you girls were the ones who threw them on the floor?”
He glanced over at the two girls beside Maria coldly. “Those who know you know that you are daughters of eminent families. However, those who don’t probably think that you two are bullies and gangsters.”
Up until this point, there was no room for them to reject Vicky’s request anymore. Maria looked at Tyler for help. However, Tyler was still being himself and ignored her. In the end, she bit her lip vehemently and bent down to pick up all of the scattered items.
Sebastian looked away and asked gently, “Vicky, do you have other requests?”
Since Vicky attended the dinner party his family hosted, it was natural for him to ensure Vicky was well treated after being accused of being a thief.
Vicky looked around and smiled. “Miss Sparks also promised that she would let everyone else apologize to me too, if I’m innocent. Since I didn’t steal the bracelet, then… all of you can line up and apologize to me one by one.”
As soon as she finished talking, it created an uproar among the crowd.
“What? She wants all of us to apologize to her?”
“Isn’t this request a bit too over?”
“Anyone can make mistakes, and you should forgive people when possible. Forgive and forget.”
“What does this have to do with us? Why are you pulling us into this?”
Even Tyler was quite shocked by the request and looked at Vicky for a short while. However, he did not comment on it. His handsome face still looked cold and distant.
“When Miss Sparks and her friends said that, none of you objected. That meant all of you agreed to it. If you think you are innocent, then you can express your dissatisfaction to Miss Sparks. I’m the same as all of you
a victim of this case. No one likes to be accused and called a thief without any reason.”
There was nothing wrong with being lenient, but it also depended on the people and situation. Everything that happened today was indeed mostly because of Maria’s evil thoughts. However, the other onlookers were also responsible for the way it turned out since Maria’s side of the story was full of loopholes, and everyone just went with it.
Most of the time, it was easy to be bullied when you were weak. Vicky believed after today, no one would dare to cause trouble for her easily. Tyler would not always be there to help her. She did not want to waste such a good opportunity.
She needed to create a good future for herself and took the initiative. She did not want to have this happen to her again. Being the laughing stock every time she attended a dinner party.
