The people around them gasped and looked at Cindy with complicated eyes.
Cindy was no longer calm.
Hannah exposing her made her panic. This was unexpected.
Cindy’s complexion was glum.
However, so many people were staring at her, and Cindy was not a good-for-nothing young lady after all.
Cindy had been through a lot, so she was not intimidated by this scene.
While she panicked, she endured the cold and stood up trembling. She looked at Eric with forbearance and aggrieved eyes, without the fear and panic she felt just now.
“Mr. Ferguson, if this is your goal, then you’ve achieved it. Only a fool would believe this woman’s false accusations against me. I don’t know where you found her and why you made her say such things. But I actually saved Chance just now. Everyone saw it. Mr. Ferguson, if you insist on believing that woman’s words, then I have nothing to say. I came here today just to celebrate Young Master Chance’s birthday. I’m sorry that everyone had to see me like this. I don’t think there’s any need for me to stay any longer. Mr. Ferguson, if you have enough evidence, you can go to the police instead of just listening to this woman’s one-sided story.”
Cindy glanced coldly at Hannah, which made Hannah shudder.
Hannah was guilty and afraid of Cindy, but she was even more afraid of Eric.
The severe pain on her chin just now clearly agitated every nerve in her body.
Thus, Hannah could not be stubborn in order to protect Cindy.
Hannah had no choice but to betray Cindy.
Cindy took a deep breath and felt that she was done here, so she turned around and walked inside.
Although she wanted to leave, she could not leave in such a wretched state.
Cindy wanted to change her clothes and walk away decently.
Otherwise, she would look guilty.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Mitchell looked at Eric, who was gloomy and stern. It was clear that Eric was not in a good mood.
The facts were right in front of them.
It would be best if Cindy admitted it.
Then, whether Eric forgave her was another matter.
However, Cindy refused to admit her mistake, making this situation more awkward.
Mitchell also knew that it was not good to push Cindy too hard at this moment.
After all, Cindy was their business partner’s daughter. With so many people in the business circle watching, it would be easy to cause misunderstandings if the situation was unclear.
Mitchell took a step forward and stood beside Eric.
“Mr. Ferguson…”
Eric glanced coldly in the direction that Cindy left.
“Call the police.”
After he spoke, Eric turned to leave.
Mitchell paused, nodded, looked at the people around him, and said with a smile, “Everyone, please forgive us for this unexpected situation. If you want, you can stay for the rest of the party. Please make yourselves at home.”
He nodded, then looked at the bodyguard behind him and said in a lowered voice, “Call the police and wait for them to come before handing her over to them.”
“Yes, sir.”
Everyone was not suspicious of Cindy, so that felt like Eric was going overboard.
After all, Cindy sounded so aggrieved earlier.
However, seeing the situation now, everyone was afraid that Eric was right.
Everyone was no longer in the mood to stay back.
They did not want to deal with the police.
Mitchell ordered Chance to be taken away. Chance seemed to be fine, but his face was pale from the cold, and he looked so pitiful.
Selena, who was next to Chance, was unexpectedly quiet.
She did not say or ask anything.
Mitchell did not know how to explain it, so he ordered someone to protect the scene. In the meantime, he retrieved the surveillance footage to hand it over to the police.
Chance held on to Selena’s clothes tightly, so the bodyguards could not carry him away.
Selena did not say anything and walked in with Chance in her arms.
