In the beginning, Sonia was confused about why Tina suddenly fell, but she immediately figured out that she had feigned the fall herself and was now trying to frame her for it. thus, she chuckled and gazed at Tina with an icy look in her eyes as she asked, “And when did I push you?”
“Could I have fallen by myself if you didn’t push me?” Tina lifted her head and met her gaze angrily.
However, Sonia snorted and retorted, “Well, that’s actually possible. Who knows? Maybe you fell by yourself and you’re trying to set me up now.
The second she finished speaking, Cynthia pointed a finger at her and yelled, “How dare you say something like that, Sonia Reed?! You’re the one who pushed Tina, but you turned around and accused her of falling by herself just to set you up. Who would risk getting hurt to do such a thing?” “She’s right.” The people who were watching nodded in agreement, and the edges of Tina’s lips curled up ever so lightly as a smug look appeared in her eyes.
Let’s see how you wriggle yourself out of this, Sonia, she thought.
“You heard them,” Cynthia said, her hands on her hips. “Nobody thinks that Tina would do something like that. Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that you were the one who pushed her. What do you have to say now?”
Sonia was about to speak up when a deep, male voice cut her off. “Tina!”
“Toby,” Tina whimpered. With tears in her eyes, she gazed at the man rushing toward her and extended her hand toward him.
After he helped her up, he looked at her dirtied dress and frowned. “What happened?”
“Yeah, Tina. Tell me what happened here.” Titus, who arrived with Toby, wanted to understand the situation as well. He threw a dirty look at Sonia. Clearly, he suspected that she was the one who pushed Tina to the floor.
Sonia merely rolled her eyes and snorted instead of saying anything.
Tina sobbed while she was in Toby’s embrace. “Earlier, Cynthia and I saw Miss Reed, so we came over to say hi to her, but she accidentally pushed me.” “What do you mean she accidentally pushed you?” Cynthia barked indignantly. “Why are you still trying to make things look better for her at a time like this? Just tell President Fuller directly that it was Sonia who pushed you down on purpose.
Toby turned to Sonia and saw that she was very composed; she didn’t seem to be flustered at all. From that, he knew that there was another side to the story in this situation.
However, to be fair, he still asked, “Sonia, did you push Tina?”
Before she could answer, Titus snorted and interrupted their conversation. “Toby, Cynthia witnessed everything. Why are you still asking her that question?”
“That’s right, President Fuller. But I’m not the only one. Everyone else saw it as well,” Cynthia said while pointing at the people crowding
around.
The people weren’t expecting that she would drag them into the mess, so they were mad at her. Nevertheless, with Toby at the scene and the fact that Tina was his fiancee, they didn’t want to offend her. After all, offending Tina was as good as offending Toby himself.
Compared to getting on the wrong side of Tina, they would rather put Sonia on the spot instead. Thus, they quickly bobbed their heads, expressing that they had really witnessed the incident.
For some unknown reason, the sight of the crowd nodding sparked an inexplicable fire of fury within Toby, and it showed on his face. However, the people merely thought that he was really mad at Sonia because he believed that she was the one who pushed Tina.
Even Tina jumped to the same assumption, so she twisted her head around to throw a triumphant smile at Sonia when the others weren’t watching.
Upon seeing that, Sonia grinned wryly and thought, The villain is really happy, huh?
“What do you have to say, Sonia?” Toby asked flatly with his eyes fixed on her.
Titus was obviously disgruntled when he heard that. “Toby, why are you still letting her defend herself when the people here saw that she was the one who pushed Tina? Just send her to the police immediately!”
Toby frowned slightly, but other than that, he showed no other signs of having heard Titus. He simply kept his eyes on Sonia, for he wanted to hear her say that she didn’t do anything like that. Unexpectedly though, she played with her fingernails as she smiled slightly. “What should I say? And who would believe my words? Will youf
