Chapter 197: Intentional Fall
The unpleasant incidents were quickly forgotten as everyone began to enjoy themselves thoroughly. They had thought they wouldn’t encounter them again, but after finishing lunch and deciding to play board games together in the afternoon, Cyril’s group appeared again. However, this time they were very taciturn and didn’t choose to disturb Silvia. And of course, Silvia’s group had no intention of approaching Cyril’s group either.
However, the two sides were fundamentally incompatible, so their relationship in playing together would also be affected, especially Cyril’s side. It wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Shouldn’t we change places? I feel strange sitting with them. And don’t you think it’s likely that something else will happen?”
Just a moment ago, they had an unpleasant encounter, and if they continued like this, wouldn’t it escalate into a fight?
Jonathan rolled his eyes. “Are you kidding me? Just because it’s Silvia, we shouldn’t care about these things? Forget about it. Silvia is just like that. We do what we need to do and
don’t bother with Silvia.”
Anyway, if something really happened, they could deal with it later. At least for now, there were no problems, right?
Everyone seemed to agree with this reasoning, so they didn’t say anything and just went about their own business. Despite the somewhat awkward situation, they managed to maintain harmony as they continued to play for the rest of the afternoon.
“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s consider whether we want to have dinner together here or go back. If we go back, we can have another round, and you can book us a bar.”
Everyone was a bit reluctant to stop playing, especially since their work was usually very busy. Being able to relax like this made them all very happy. So when the suggestion of having another round and going to a bar was made, no one objected.
Miranda enthusiastically took out her phone to check the location and then called Juliet. Juliet couldn’t come because of work, but she would definitely have time after work.
However, Juliet hadn’t replied yet, probably because she was still very busy. So they continued with whatever they were doing.
“Silvia, can I talk to you?”
They were sitting together, drinking, when suddenly the girl walked over, looking at Silvia with a grievance and a hint of stubbornness.
Kate was a little annoyed. What did she mean? Wasn’t the drama just now over? Now she was coming over to cause trouble again. This was asking for trouble.
“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t we just say not to interfere with each other? Why are you coming over now and pushing people? Are you okay? And don’t you feel that there’s nothing to talk about between you and Silvia? Or do you think you have the status to chat with Silvia? Don’t overestimate yourself, okay?”
The girl looked at Silvia with a look of grievance, ignoring Kate’s words, just wanting to see something from Silvia’s eyes. Silvia saw it, though. This person wouldn’t stop until they achieved their goal. If she didn’t go over, she might still be standing here, affecting everyone’s mood.
“Let’s go.”
Silvia decided to walk away with her to chat. Others were a little hesitant, but since Silvia said so, they had no choice. Only Miles silently took out his phone and started recording.
Duncan saw it and was a bit puzzled. “What are you doing?”
“Collecting evidence.”
This way of collecting evidence was indeed something that people didn’t really want to know about. Silvia and the girl walked to the side. The girl intentionally stumbled a little, almost leaning against Silvia, but Silvia had already sensed that the girl’s actions were unusual.
Just as the girl was about to fall, Silvia immediately took a big step aside, her hands barely touching the girl, while she stepped back several steps herself.
From the side, it seemed like the girl fell by herself and had nothing to do with Silvia. But because of this little stunt, it still caused a commotion on Cyril’s side. Not for any other reason, just because when Silvia fell, she let out a scream that sounded extremely miserable.
The girl’s voice instantly attracted Cyril’s attention. They immediately stood up and walked over to the girl. Cyril’s guests gently helped the girl up.
“I’m fine. I just accidentally fell just now. It has nothing to do with Silvia, and Silvia didn’t even touch me.”
Listening to this statement was like drinking the utmost in green tea. The more she denied it, the more righteous she seemed. They suspected that Silvia had done something.
This scene looked very familiar, and Silvia sneered.
She wanted to see what Cyril would do next, whether he would act the same as before, or if there would be any significant differences.
As for the others, they had already seen that the girl fell by herself and had nothing to do with Silvia. All of the girl’s actions just now were facing away from them. If it weren’t for them, they wouldn’t have known. But the more they didn’t know, the more they could see how Cyril handled this matter.
Then Duncan turned his head and looked at Miles, who was still recording silently, and fell into a moment of silence.
Well, if Miles hadn’t recorded the video just now, this matter might not have been so easily resolved.
“Are you crazy? Didn’t we just say not to interfere with each other? Why are you pushing people now? Are you okay? It’s one thing to bully Karina just now, but now you’re bullying a girl who has nothing to do with you. Don’t go too far. Just because you have someone to help you, doesn’t mean you can harm innocent people recklessly!”
Jonathan was already dissatisfied with Silvia. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to retaliate fiercely. But when he retaliated, he didn’t consider the true facts of the
matter.
For years, their attitude towards Silvia had been the same as Cyril’s. They must have thought that Silvia was the bully because others seemed weaker than Silvia.
“Are you sure I did all those things?”
Silvia chuckled, not bothering to respond to Jonathan’s evaluation of herself; but instead looked at Cyril. With just one glance, Silvia suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart. Even after all this time, she could still see through Cyril’s true thoughts and what he wanted to express.
