“Honey? Are you hurt?”
Ashlyn felt a jolt of shock and warmth through her body. She shook her head. “I'm fine.”
“Mr. Nolan!” Just then, Spencer stood up.
He berated the waitress, “What's the matter with you? Can't you even walk properly? Look at how the soup is spilled all over Mr. Nolan.”
The waitress turned ashen with fright. She did not understand how the bowl of fish chowder ended up on Lucas' body. She had been careful for fear of spilling it.
“Mr. Nolan, I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional. I think someone tripped me just now...”
Upon hearing her words, Sabrina scowled. “There's no one else around you except me. Are you trying to shirk responsibility and shift the blame to me?”
Sabrina was still shocked by the scene she just witnessed. She clenched her fists, staring at Lucas in disbelief.
To think he shielded Ashlyn from that scalding fish soup?
But she would never admit that she tripped the waitress.
No matter what, she would not take the blame for this.
Especially in front of Lucas, she found it even more impossible to admit.
So, she had no choice but to force the waitress to take the blame!
The waitress looked flustered. “Ms. Gray, I didn't mean to accuse or blame you for anything, but just now... It seemed like someone did trip me.”
“What proof do you have?” Anger filled Sabrina's face as if she had suffered a great injustice. “Why would I make life difficult for a lowly waitress? If you're scared of being punished, just say so. Why do you have to frame me? You're the one who spilled the soup all over Mr. Nolan, not me.”
Lucas glanced coldly at Sabrina. “Do you think no one knows about what you've done?”
