My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline) novel Chapter 82

After the New Year’s Eve Tragedy: Her Icy Return

Chapter 82 You Really Don’t Know Who Own This Place, Do You?

Finished

Hearing the crowd side with his daughter, Edwin instantly regained his confidence.

He glared at Blake. “I know my daughter best. She’s soft hearted–she even cries over injured stray animals. Do you really think she’d trip someone? If you didn’t see clearly, keep your mouth shut.”

Alaina chimed in, nostrils flaring. “Exactly! Don’t you dare lie to protect someone else and slander my girl!”

Most guests here were from elite circles.

If rumors spread because of this, Helen’s reputation would be ruined.

The thought made Alaina livid. “Unless you have proof you owe my daughter an apology!”

Blake’s lips curled slightly. “If she’s innocent, I’ll apologize gladly. But, if she’s guilty… what then?”

His voice was calm, but the authority in it made Alaina’s bluster falter.

That confidence… Could he actually have evidence?

This event was too important to risk.

“Who do you think you are? We don’t have time for your nonsense!” She grabbed Helen’s arm. “Let’s go.”

But Helen shook her off. “No! I won’t leave until he apologizes!”

All these people were watching. Leaving now would look like an admission of guilt.

Besides, he’s bluffing. There’s no way he has proof.

Blake’s eyes darkened. “Fine. If you insist on an apology name your terms–but if you’re proven guilty, what’s your penalty?”

“I didn’t do it!” Helen lied smoothly, without blinking.

Impressive. Blake almost admired her audacity. “Then you’ve got nothing to fear. Unless … you’re worried?”

When she stayed silent, he set the terms himself.

“If it’s you, you’ll publicly apologize to Caroline on stage–and donate that diamond bracelet to charity. Consider it your ‘good deed‘ for underprivileged students.”

Helen’s free hand flew to her wrist, clutching the bracelet like a lifeline.

No way. That bracelet was a 50,000–dollar gift from her mother!

How could she risk this?

Blake’s smirk deepened at her hesitation. “Second thoughts already?”

Helen jutted her chin. “Deal! But if you can’t prove it, you’ll kneel and beg for my forgiveness!”

“Agreed.” His gaze swept over Edwin and Alaina. “Any objections from her… devoted parents?”

Edwin and Alaina’s face were darkening. Both looked ready to explode.

Alaina ignored him, while Edwin snapped, “Enough! Show your so–called proof!”

Helen didn’t do this. Let’s see him fabricate evidence in front of everyone.

Blake pointed toward the corner. “It’s right there.”
