Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 12

"To frame someone, she was willing to throw herself down the stairs! Few people could ever do something like that.

If I ever run into an enemy, I'll definitely hire her."

Just then, an elderly man spoke up, "Haven't you all noticed? It's only been two months since she was brought back, and Mira's situation has completely turned upside down."

"That's right. Take tonight, for example. If Mira hadn't produced the video to prove her innocence, everyone would have thought she did it.

After all, who would throw themselves down the stairs just to frame someone else? She's a ruthless one, a real piece of work."

By now, public opinion had completely turned against Mara. But just before she could pass out, Mira fainted first.

"Mira!"

"Mira, what's wrong? Don't scare me."

Liora and Celine, who had been standing nearby, rushed over to catch her. A few women from the crowd also came over to help.

"What's happened? Don't tell me the newly returned one poisoned Mira?

Or did the Mercer family do something?"

A guest speculated aloud.

Mara was speechless.

The Mercers were speechless.

Lacey wanted to go over, but Mara was currently collapsing in her arms, looking even weaker.

"Look, the newly returned one is playing the victim again."

"You're right. Now that she's been exposed, she's trying to escape punishment."

"Strange, it doesn't seem like anyone in the Mercer family is blaming her."

"Quick, call 911."

At someone's suggestion, Liora immediately took out her phone and dialed.

Lucas Mercer started walking toward Mira, intending to check on her.

But after just two steps, he heard his mother call out, "Lucas, come see what's wrong with your sister!"

He thought to himself that Mira was usually healthy and probably fine, so he should check on Mara first.
