Yuna immediately nodded, "That's right, I didn't send anything."
"Wonderful." Tobias's lips curled into a smile.
"I have the number of an official from the communications department. I'll ask them to look into it for me now and see if Natalie has received any texts from Yuna. Like this, the truth will be revealed eventually."
Silence suddenly fell over the living room.
No one had thought that it would all be cleared up just by checking like this.
Just now, everyone's minds were muddled, and they had not thought of this at all.
Cecilia was the first to react, and her gaze vaguely shifted.
She guessed that Tobias had probably already thought of it a long time ago.
There was probably a deeper meaning as to why he only brought it up now.
Tobias wanted Peter to truly understand what was going on.
When heard Tobias saying that they were looking for a text message record from the communications department, Yuna's expression changed.
She had not thought of this at all, and she had not expected that Tobias would contact an official from the communications department to look into the text message records.
Yuna bit her lip. "Forget it, I'd better go. We don't need to make this into such a big deal. If this spreads, it'd be bad for the Whitlock family. It doesn't really matter to me."
The corner of Selina's mouth twitched.
Yuna was really something.
As soon as Tobias said he would ask the communications department for the text message records, Selina had a sudden awakening.
Tobias never did anything that he wasn't sure of.
Since Tobias had already said that he wanted to ask the communications department about the text messages records, it proved that Yuna was undoubtedly lying.
And she was saying these things at a time like this, which completely exposed her.
She did not want Tobias to investigate, yet she wanted to appear like a good person. She even used the excuse of not wanting to damage the Whitlock family's reputation.
What clever tricks she played.
Selina could not hold herself back. She immediately said mockingly, "Why do you want to leave, Yuna? Did you get scared when you heard my brother say that he would check with the communications department about the text message records?"
Yuna forced a smile. "How could that be? How could I be scared if I haven't done anything wrong? I'm just worried that it'll embarrass the Whitlock family if this matter becomes out of hand."
Selina's tone grew even more mocking. "Don't worry. A text message record isn't enough to bring shame to the Whitlock family."
Yuna forced herself to calm down. "Then go ahead and retrieve them."
The text message records were quickly sent over.
There was a clear record in the communications department that there had indeed been a text sent from Yuna's phone to Natalie's, asking her to go to the garden.
Natalie let out a sigh of relief.
After being proven innocent, she felt as if she had been cleansed.
Selina looked at Yuna with self-satisfaction.
A look of surprise flashed across Cecilia's eyes.
She initially had a decent impression of Yuna. She had thought that Yuna was a sensible girl, and had not expected that Yuna would do such a thing.
Cecilia heaved a slight sigh in her heart.
It seemed that love could really mess up a person.
Peter's eyes were filled with shock and uncertainty.
No matter what, he could not believe that Yuna would do such a thing.
In his eyes, Yuna was the most obedient girl in the world. How could she do such a despicable thing?
"Yuna..." Peter looked at Yuna and wanted her to give him an explanation.
Yuna gnawed at her lip. After a while, she suddenly made a sound of understanding.
She looked at Peter as if she just remembered something and said, "Grandpa Peter, I remember now. I didn't borrow Natalie's mobile phone at all. Instead, she was the one who asked to borrow mine. She said that her mobile phone ran out of power and asked me to lend her mine. Could it be that she sent a text using my phone right then?"
At that point, she paused and said in an increasingly hurt tone, "Grandpa Peter, you know me. I could never lie."
Yuna's words were full of loopholes. No one would believe it except Peter.
As for Yuna, she only wanted Peter to believe her.
