"Why not?" Lyra frowned.
Sydney smiled. "First of all, Ms. Madden, you said that we beat you up, but did anyone see it?"
Lyra froze and bit her lip. "No."
There were only seven of them in the villa.
Julien was sleeping in his room, and the chef and employees of the park did not live here. Sydney and the other four beat her up, so there was naturally no one else that saw it.
"Secondly, what did we use to hit you and where did we hit you?" Sydney continued to ask.
Lyra clenched her fists. "You guys knocked me out and used a sack to bring me to the park. You punched and kicked me."
"Oh? So what did we use to knock you out? Where's the sack now?" Sydney smiled at her.
Lyra gritted her teeth. "It must be in your rooms. If it's not there, then it must be that you destroyed it."
"In the end, you can't say how we knocked you out and where the sack is, right?" Sydney's eyes flickered." Since you can't be sure, and no one saw us beating you up, that means we're being falsely accused by you. You're framing us, Ms. Madden."
"When did I frame you? The injuries on my body are your doing!" Lyra pointed to the bruises on her face.
Sydney shrugged. ''Do you have fingerprints on your injuries? Otherwise, how will you prove that it was us?"
"That's right.¹' Luke echoed.
Hunter and the other three naturally nodded along.
Lyra trembled with anger. "How would there be fingerprints on the skin?"
"Exactly, so you can't prove that we beat you up. If you continue to slander us like this, we can sue you for libel." Sydney looked at her with a grin.
"You..."
Lyra was about to say something else, but Julien held her back. "Enough, Lyra. Let's go back."
Lyra stared at him with incredulous eyes. "Go back? Julien, I was bullied by them, but we're leaving just like that?"
"What else do you want to do? You can't produce any evidence, can you?" Julien looked at her.
He also believed that Lyra was indeed beaten up by Sydney and the others.
However, they did it flawlessly, so Lyra could not prove it. Even if they knew who the perpetrator was, they could not get justice for Lyra.
Lyra fell silent and obediently left with Julien.
Before they left, Julien turned around and gave Sydney a deep look.
Sydney narrowed her eyes and pursed her red lips.
Luke went to her side. "Darling, what was that look supposed to mean?"
Sydney shook her head. "I don't know either."
Logically, since Lyra was beaten by them, the look he gave her should be filled with disgust and anger.
However, he never looked at her with that kind of eyes from the beginning to the end. Even in the gaze just now, there was something mixed in his eyes, but she could not tell what it was.
"What a nutjob," Luke grumbled.
Sydney covered her lips and yawned. "Alright, it's still too early. Go back to sleep."
"Let's go, let's go." Hunter and the others nodded and returned to their rooms.
On the second floor, outside Lyra's room.
Lyra shook off Julien's hand. "Julien, I really can't accept this!"
"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it. They planned it long ago, so they didn't leave any evidence," Julien said in a faint voice.
Lyra's eyes reddened. "Are we supposed to just let them off?" "What else can you do? There was also no evidence when your other personality tried to get a snake to bite Sydney during the day. Them beating you at night was just revenge for what happened. Just take this matter as a loss and forget about it," Julien rubbed his temples and said somewhat tiredly.
Lyra lowered her head and stopped speaking.
Forget about it?
How could she forget about it?
She was always the one getting her way with other people. No one could get their way with her. Even if she knew that Sydney was just getting back at her, she would not forget about it. Just wait and see!
