Sivan's anger was real. There was no need to pretend. "How could these people say that to you? It is clearly Jessica and the others who go too far. You just want to help me..."
Sivan forcefully squeezed her eyes twice and looked at Carl with red eyes. "Sorry, it's my fault. This video is actually..."
While observing Carl's expression, she thought of a reason to explain the video to Carl.
Carl interrupted her, "It's okay. You don't need to explain it to me. I believe you. You must have hit Molly because she said something hurtful."
Sivan was surprised. She had prepared a bunch of excuses, and they turned out to be useless because of Carl's words.
After a brief moment of shock, Sivan's heart was filled with ecstasy.
She knew better than anyone that this video was solid proof, that she was the one who attacked first. She indeed intentionally attacked Molly that day to force Jessica out.
She was no fool, nor did she think that Carl was stupid enough to believe her excuse. She had been planning on fooling him if he didn't believe her.
However, Carl chose to believe her without asking for an explanation.
If she had doubts about Carl before, then now it was gone.
Carl really fell in love with her and didn't even care about his basic principles.
In other words, she had won Carl's heart completely. Sivan lowered her eyes to cover up the ecstasy in her eyes.
When she raised her head again, her eyes brimmed over with tears. "But those people are cursing you..."
"It doesn't matter if I get scolded, as long as they can leave you alone." Carl took a napkin and put it in Sivan's hand. He said gently, "Don't worry. I won't let those who hurled abuse on you off."
Sivan wiped her tears and smiled.
