Derrick stammered, “I–I didn’t recognize you at the time. Iust couldn’t stand by and watch someone get hurt, so I stepped in. I’ve already apologized to Mr. Spencer.”
“Apologized to Mr. Spencer? Was he the one who got hurt? My voice was cold as I glanced at the group standing nearby.
They were all Aiden’s former subordinates. They were clustered together, looking indignant. They clearly felt Skyla was wronged and that I was being unreasonably aggressive.
Then, I turned to look at Aiden.
His face was slightly turned away, but his gaze lingered on Skyla, who was desperately trying to hold back her tears. His expression was full of pity and sadness.
I let out a soft laugh. I reached into my bag, pulled out my phone, and handed it to Aiden.
“You left your phone in the car. I brought it back for you. Oh, and I also sent the surveillance footage from the barbecue shop that night to your work group chat.”
The entire room buzzed, a low murmur sweeping through the crowd as people pulled out their phones.
“Everything is crystal clear in the video and proves two things. First, I never laid a finger on Skyla. She knows that better than anyone. Second, Derrick deliberately pushed me, making me hit my head.
“The doctor diagnosed me with a mild concussion. I demand a formal apology and financial compensation!”
I added, “Oh, and when I sent the video, my hand slipped, and I accidentally sent a PDF file as well. But honestly, I think the writing is quite… impressive. No harm in letting everyone appreciate it.”
The reason Aiden and Skyla were able to continue working at the research institute without issue was because no one actually saw the evidence of their affair.
People only heard bits and pieces, so they assumed it was just a case of them being a little too close, triggering a jealous wife who overreacted.
The institute’s higher–ups wanted to avoid complications, so they refrained from making the evidence public.
In the end, I had to do it myself.
Aiden’s face turned pale. Hands trembling, he quickly unlocked his phone.
By now, hushed whispers were already spreading.
. “She really didn’t touch Skyla… Skyla tripped on her own.”
“But I thought everyone said Mr. Spencer’s wife pushed her? Skyla never denied it!”
