When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563 Planned to Push Her Overboard

After the engagement ceremony, Yozan walked slowly toward Hank in the corner, his gaze intense.

"Mr. Damazio, I would like an explanation," he said. Hank turned around, meeting the man's cold, unapproachable expression.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Harley?" Hank asked.

"You're aware that Cecelia fell into the water while being here, aren't you?"

Hank knew of the incident but had no leads at the moment. "So, what kind of explanation do you want from me?"

Yozan played with the ring on his thumb, his smile growing deeper. "I've already found out what happened to Cecelia, and all that's left now is for Mr. Damazio to get rid of your beloved."

His smile was pleasant, but the chill in his voice was unmistakable. When he mentioned 'get rid,' Hank's eyebrows twitched slightly as he sensed something was off. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"My men have already found out who caused Cecelia's accident. It's quite unfortunate, but the person is a member of your Damazio Family. Furthermore, this person has confessed that they were acting on orders from your Mrs. Damazio herself."

Yozan's words implied that Yelena was the mastermind behind the whole incident. Hank's expression immediately grew cold.

"That's impossible. She's being framed."

"I've already investigated the matter thoroughly. If I don't have evidence, why would I bother coming to you?"

Yozan was no longer civil, thinking Hank was trying to defend Yelena.

"Earlier, I didn't say anything to save your reputation during your engagement ceremony. However, if you insist on defending her, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yelena didn't know that such a thing was happening and rushed over while holding her dress after finishing up some business. She immediately threw her arms around Hank, complaining, "You don't know how tired I am. Engagement parties are such a hassle."

"Miss Sullivan, you're just in time. Perhaps you can explain why you harmed Cecelia."

Yelena was in shock from being accused and was at a loss for words. "What are you talking about? I didn't harm anyone."

"Acting innocent, huh?" Yozan sneered. "How foolish."

"Who are you calling foolish? What's wrong with you? You were fine earlier. Why are you suddenly like this?"

Yozan took a deep breath, his face turning sour. Most of the guests had already left, and Elspeth and Callum were also coming over to say their goodbyes. Seeing Yelena almost on the verge of tears, Elspeth was surprised.

"What's going on? Is it because of what happened earlier?"
