Magic 108

Chapter 108 

Sheryl was implying that Lucinda might have beaten her up even more if there hadn’t been so many people around. 

Gareth was definitely incited by her words. “Sheryl, does she hit you often?” 

Tears streamed down Sheryl’s face as she played the innocent and pitiful role to perfection. 

Glaring at Lucinda, Gareth shouted, “How can you be so despicable?” 

This time, Lucinda couldn’t even be bothered to roll her eyes. 

Valerie couldn’t bear to watch her friend being ganged up on like that. “Sir, before you start spewing nonsense, can you at least learn what actually happened?” 

She pointed straight at Sheryl. “My friend and I were eating when she suddenly threw a drink at us. If my friend hadn’t dodged in time, her face and hair would’ve been soaked. Anyone would have been angry at that kind of provocation, don’t you think?” 

It was only then that Gareth noticed Valerie’s stunning looks. 

Sheryl defended herself as she cried, “I didn’t do it on purpose!” 

Gareth forced himself to tear his gaze away from Valerie’s breathtaking looks. “Sheryl is so painfully kind, so how could she ever throw a drink at someone? Clearly, the two of you are trying to frame and gang up on her.” 

Valerie was speechless. 

She thought idiots like this would be extinct by now, but apparently, one was alive and standing right in front of her. 

Valerie asked, “Lucinda, after returning to Windmere this past year, what kind of life have you been living?” 

Lucinda smiled bitterly. “You’ve seen it yourself. My life is full of idiots.” 

Valerie patted Lucinda on the shoulder. “You poor thing.” 

Gareth continued to shout, “If you don’t apologize to Sheryl, I’ll tell Mr. and Mrs. Byron all about your wicked behavior. You’d better understand one thing–your so–called blood means nothing compared to 20 years of familial affection.” 

Gareth was clearly implying that Lucinda would never surpass Sheryl’s place in her parents‘ hearts, even if Lucinda were the real daughter of the Byron family.

Valerie casually shoved a crab into Gareth’s mouth. “Sir, please shut up.” 

Gareth struggled to speak with his mouth stuffed with food. 

Valerie waved to the manager. “Had enough of the drama yet? Pull out the surveillance footage and give this man and lady the justice they deserve.” 

Only then did the lobby manager come back to his senses. 

The whole thing happened so suddenly that he hadn’t been able to react. 

He immediately instructed the staff to pull the surveillance video from the area. 

Sheryl started crying even harder. “I’m sorry, Gareth. I shouldn’t have come out to eat with you today. It’s no wonder that Lucinda is angry. After all, the two of you are the perfect match, and I’m just the extra one here.” 

Lucinda resisted the urge to gag and snapped, “Relax. Even if every man on earth dropped dead, I still wouldn’t spare him a glance.” 

Gareth glared at her furiously. 

Sheryl covered her face and tried to leave, but Valerrie caught her by the arm. “Are you feeling guilty already? Stay and watch the footage with us.” 

Sheryl struggled to break free, but she couldn’t move at all. 

Just then, a staff member came running over with a laptop. “We’ve got the footage!” 

Everyone watching the commotion turned eagerly to the screen. 

The staffer clicked play, only for the screen to go completely black. 

The staffer frowned. “It was working fine just now. How did it suddenly go dark?” 

In the corner of her eye, Valerie caught sight of the familiar figures of Sonia and Naomi hiding among the crowd. 

It was no wonder something happened to the video. Sonia must have had a hand in this.
