Chapter 89 Winnie is Not Innocent
"Do you remember when you forced Winnie to drink a bottle of whiskey? Ms. Jameson, did you ever think at that time that you would have today?"
Caroline looked blankly at Wesley, who had a hateful look, and asked in confusion, "I? Forcing? Winnie? Drink a bottle of whiskey?"
Caroline was very confused. Caroline disdained to force someone, let alone using this kind of shabby trick to force Winnie to drink a bottle of whiskey.
Caroline never disdained to do such a thing.
"Are you playing the fool? Ms. Jameson, how awesome you were! You were jealous of Winnie, so you deliberately goaded her into drinking that bottle of whiskey. Do you think no one saw it and knew about it?"
Caroline suddenly interrupted Wesley.
Caroline said in a rough voice, "No. I haven't done this."
Wesley snorted and stared at Caroline fiercely. Wesley said, "Do you mean I wronged you? Or do you mean Winnie was a liar? At that time, Winnie was drunk on the road. Fortunately, I met her, otherwise, I didn't know what would happen to her!"
"Caroline, do you mean Winnie's drunkenness is fake, or what I saw is fake?"
Caroline looked thunderstruck!
Caroline's pupils were dilated. Caroline thought, "Winnie was drunk and met Wesley. Is that true?"
"Did Winnie say that?" Caroline had a strange look.
Wesley was unable to stand Caroline like this and said, "You are really good at putting on an act! You were good at playing the fool before! You were so good with Winnie in front of people, but you did some shoddy tricks behind your back. Do you think you can hide it from others? Why did Winnie have an occasional bruise on her arm and thigh?"
"Is that your thoughts? You think I was unkind to Winnie, right?" Caroline knelt on the ground. The glitter of her eyes darkened, and Caroline felt a little tired and painful.
But soon the tiredness and pain were hidden. In fact, Caroline already guessed it.
Caroline experienced it a lot for three years. She was handcuffed to the toilet and too painful to sleep and breathe smoothly for many nights. Caroline could only lean against the corner and look at the ceiling of the bathroom. For many silent nights, Caroline had nothing to do but could only be in a daze. Caroline could certainly know something that she hadn't seen clearly before.
Caroline spent three years thinking over and over again. At first, she did this just to find out the evidence that she was wronged.
But the more Caroline thought about it, the soberer she became. In the end, when Caroline thought about those things over and over again, it was no longer to find evidence of her innocence, but to prove that her guess was wrong.
Caroline chuckled without a word. Her smile was so bitter. Caroline thought her guess was right.
From the moment Wesley accused Caroline, Caroline knew what a ridiculous and pitiful thing she had done in those three years. To prove that Caroline had guessed wrong and to prove Winnie's innocence, Caroline tortured herself to recall over and over again those memories that she didn't want to remember.
Caroline thought, "Am I stupid?"
"Yes!"
"Otherwise, in those three years, when I realized that Winnie was not innocent, I shouldn't have recalled the past over and over again, trying to find evidence of Winnie's innocence to overturn the doubts in my deep heart."
