"In the end, it's all because Shaun is in a relationship with Miss Mead.”
"But Catherine has married Wesley, hasn't she?"
"You won't understand. A lot of women have a roving eye. What's more, she might be dissatisfied that Shaun managed to play up to the Mead family."
"She looks pretty, but I didn’t expect her to be so disgusting."
When those disparaging comments reached Shaun's ears, his bright eyes revealed a sense of grimness.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Catherine snort.
"Are you sure I pushed you?" Catherine fixed her sharp eyes on that servant. "I came here with you just because you told me that Miss Lynch called me over. When we walked by the pool, you claimed that your shoelaces were loose, so I stopped to wait for you. But you tried to push me and ended up falling into the pool yourself."
"You're bullshitting." The servant, who had come up with a lie on the spot, panicked upon hearing
Catherine's clear explanation. "I didn't say that Miss
Lynch was looking for you. You were the one who asked me to bring you over here."
Catherine bit her lip. "I can see that you’re rushing to make up a story. You probably haven’t thought it through, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have forgotten that there are surveillance cameras around the pool. W e can just check the surveillance footage to find out whether I was the one who pushed you."
The servant's mind went blank. In a state of panic, she had no other choice but to look at Hannah for help.
Hannah wished she could kick the servant away. At this point, she could not help but say, "I didn't expect such an issue to happen today, so the surveillance cameras aren't turned on." 1
"What a coincidence. It’s always at crucial moments that the surveillance cameras are off or some important footage is missing.”
Catherine sighed faintly. "Well, there’s nothing I can d o. It's up to you, Miss Mead. If you want me to say sorry, I'll do it since this is your home and she's your servant. Anyway, you won't be at ease unless I apologize, right?”
The guests were not dumb. From Catherine's words, they understood that Hannah was deliberately bullying and framing Catherine just because this was her house. She even intentionally said that the surveillance cameras were off.
