Chapter 200
With Andrew staring her down so fiercely, Yvonne went even paler, panic flashing in her eyes. She blurted out, it wasn’t me.
“Andrew!” Lydia suddenly cried, rushing over to grab his hand and putting herself between him and Yvonne. “Andrew, maybe this is all just a misunderstanding”
The surveillance video is right here. What misunderstanding could there possibly be?” Andrew snapped. It was the first time Andrew had ever cut Lydia off mid sentence, and his tone was clearly annoyed.
Lydia was startled, her eyes turning red with tears. “Andrew.
Her voice choked with tears, and it was like a bucket of cold water had just been poured over Andrew’s anger
He quickly softened his tone. “Lydia, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just that Yvonne has gone way too far this time.”
Seeing the anger fade from his eyes, Lydia felt a little know you’re only this upset because of me.
more at ease, though her voice was still choked with tears, “Andrew, you’ve always cared for me.
“But you’re the CEO of Bennett Group. I don’t want you to lose face in front of everyone just because of me.”
She was so considerate, both in her words and her demeanor, that Andrew felt his heart melt.
“Having such a kind and thoughtful sister is truly a blessing I have to cherish Lydia and treat her well for the rest of my days; he thought.
Lydia seemed almost magical. She soothed Andrew’s anger in an instant, making him forget all about blaming Yvonne.
Lydia finally let out a sigh of relief and spoke up again. “Yvonne and Emily have never really gotten along since we were kids. She must have just made a foolish mistake in the heat of the moment
“She already realizes her mistake, and I don’t blame her. So, please, everyone, don’t be mad at her, okay?”
She looked at everyone with those big, innocent, teary eyes, and the sight of her made everyone’s heart melt.
“Ms. Bennett really is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, if it were me, I’d probably want to wring their neck if someone ruined my birthday party.”
“Yeah, I’ve never met anyone as kind hearted as Ms. Bennett.”
“We’re just guests here. Since Ms. Bennett herself has already spoken, there’s really nothing more for us to say.”
Sometimes, even when Emily had shown more thigh enough evidence to prove she was innocent, all Lydia had to do was say a few words with those teary eyes, and everyone’s attention would shift to her.
