The frigid look in Tobias' eyes gave Peter incredible discomfort.
No matter what, he was still Tobias' grandfather.
But now, for the sake of a woman, Tobias had openly criticized and questioned him in front of an outsider like Yuna. This caused Peter's rage to grow again.
He could not help but spat angrily, "Well, even if Natalie's father saved your life, it can't change the fact that she hurt Yuna!"
"Grandpa!" Tobias suddenly raised his voice. "Didn't you hear a single thing I said? Don't tell me that after I've said so much, you still can't be fair about this? Did you see what happened between Natalie and Yuna with your own eyes? Do you have any evidence to prove that Natalie's at fault?"
Peter's breathing turned labored.
A moment later, he huffed. "There's no need for evidence. There's no way Yuna would lie."
There was a menacing flash in Tobias' deep gaze.
Seeing that threatening look, Yuna suddenly had felt ominous.
Yuna tugged on Peter's hand and said aggrievedly,
"Grandpa Peter, it's all my fault for making you two argue like this. I'll just leave now."
This time, she was no longer pretending. She was really about to leave.
However, she was soon stopped by Tobias.
"Miss Sherman, please wait. You shouldn't leave before we get to the bottom of this."
Selina immediately chimed in, "That's right, Yuna. Why are you leaving so fast? We haven't investigated clearly. We have to find out whether you or Natalie was the one who lied. We have to find out the truth first."
Peter huffed in anger as well. "Yuna, don't leave. Since they want to figure out the truth, then let's get to the bottom of this and see who lied. That way, we'll all be convinced!"
Now that things had come to this point, Yuna had no choice but to brace herself and stay.
Yuna comforted herself. Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and gotten rid of all evidence, only leaving behind the evidence that would be helpful to her.
"Natalie, tell me what happened. Don't be nervous, take your time." Tobias' gaze fell on Natalie's face.
Unlike his fierce look at Peter and Yuna earlier,
Tobias' gaze softened immediately upon looking at Natalie.
Natalie nodded.
Although Selina and Cecilia had helped her just now, she still felt as if she was fighting alone.
But at this moment, with Tobias' support, she suddenly gained courage.
She knew that she was no longer alone.
No matter what the end result would be, there would always be someone standing by her side, and someone she could rely on.
Natalie said, "Not long after Yuna went to the garden, I received a message from her. She asked me to go to the garden, so I went there. When I arrived, she did nothing but insult me. I fired back a few times and came back first. That's it."
She was curt and straight to the point.
Yuna suddenly said, "Miss Godfrey, you said that I sent you a text message asking you to go to the garden. In that case, the text message is the evidence. You can show everyone and let them see if I've sent you anything."
Natalie was stunned.
The sentence from Yuna suddenly sparked an ominous feeling inside her of what was about to come.
She suddenly remembered that after she went to the garden, Yuna asked to borrow her cell phone.
Could it be...
Natalie was shocked.
The truth was, Yuna had already planned out everything early on. She had not just wanted to get revenge on impulse after Natalie had refuted her words.
She had already planned it all out.
That was why she asked to borrow her phone.
Natalie immediately took out her phone. Sure enough, the text message was gone.
While borrowing the phone, Yuna had taken the opportunity to delete the text.
