Chapter 448 You Can't Faint Until This Is Resolved
His words made Vivienne very displeased.
"What do you mean we have to blow things out of proportion? Are we the ones making a fuss now?
When the whole internet was judging and scolding Cecily, did she say anything?
Freya saved Rowan, but if she had been smarter and stopped making a fuss, Cecily wouldn't have held it against her.
But you saw it, she called so many reporters, blew things up, and tried to use public opinion to crush Cecily. Should Cecily just stay silent?"
Bryan stood there silently, eyes closed, looking exhausted.
Vivienne watched quietly, not planning to step in. She trusted that Cecily could handle it and didn't want Bryan to help Freya.
In the ward, Freya bit her lip, not responding to Cecily's questions.
Meanwhile, viewers who sympathized with Freya were getting anxious.
[What's going on? Why isn't she saying anything?]
[Could it be that things aren't as simple as we thought?]
[Exactly, speak up. What’s going on. It’s driving us crazy.]
Cecily's eyes were full of sarcasm. "Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid? You know what you did, yet you called so many reporters to play the victim and gain sympathy, trying to suppress me with public opinion. Don't you find it ridiculous? Or do you really think I'm dead?"
Freya listened, her fingers twitching, eyes filled with tears.
She took a deep breath, finally mustering the courage to face Cecily, and asked in a hoarse voice, "So what? What I did didn't harm you, and I even saved your child. Do you have to hold onto that and kill my mother to get back at me?"
Freya's words amused Cecily.
Freya admitted to doing something bad but implied it was minor and that she even saved Cecily's child. Yet Cecily held onto it and had her mother killed.
Freya continued, "I admit I harbored ill intentions because of our past grudges, but you were fine. Just because of that, you had to kill my mother."
Cecily let her speak, then said, "Do you dare to let everyone know what the bad thing you did to me was?"
Cecily pulled a document from her bag.
Freya's eyes widened in shock.
She knew those papers were evidence that she had hired assassins to kill Cecily.
If exposed, everyone would curse her instead of Cecily.
Freya stared at the papers, heart pounding.
"Cecily, you're shameless!" Freya gritted her teeth.
"Am I? You did bad things. You don’t think you are shameless? I found evidence of your wrongdoing to fight back, and I'm the shameless one?"
Cecily's voice was calm as she looked at Freya.
Freya watched as Cecily opened the document, feeling panic.
No, the fact that she hired assassins couldn't be known, or she'd be finished, even end up in jail.
No, absolutely not.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and just as Cecily was about to hand the document to the reporters, Freya, ignoring her injuries, jumped out of bed, grabbed the document, and tore it to pieces.
"Fake, these are all fake. Don’t believe her."
Everyone was shocked, staring at Freya.
Freya kept shouting, "These are fake. Don’t believe them."
A reporter, dissatisfied, said, "If it's fake, why are you so anxious?"
"Exactly, why so anxious? Everyone can tell if it's real or fake. Doing this just makes you look guilty and afraid to let people see."
The scene was filled with murmurs, and everyone was looking at Freya.
Her guilty behavior further proved that what Cecily had said wasn't as simple as Freya claimed.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so nervous that she ignored her own injuries.
Freya's every move was caught on camera, and the live stream viewers were not happy.
They wanted to see the truth, but Freya tore up the evidence.
[She looks guilty, admitting she did something bad but not daring to show what it was. It must be serious.]
[There's more to this story. Cecily might not be a saint, but Freya isn't either.]
[But Freya did save her child. Killing her mother over that is too much.]
[Everyone says Cecily killed Jennifer, but where's the proof? Who can show evidence?]
Finally, someone with a clear head commented, making everyone rethink.
Reporters chimed in, "Everyone says Jennifer was pushed by Cecily, but there's no evidence.
Even Freya doesn't have proof, but Cecily showed evidence of Freya's wrongdoing, which Freya tore up out of guilt. What does that tell you?"
Someone agreed, "It shows Freya's wrongdoing is true, but whether Cecily killed Jennifer still needs investigation. No one can say she's guilty."
Everyone nodded.
Freya stood there, trembling more as she listened to the discussions.
Even after tearing up the evidence, she felt no relief. The crowd's whispers made her feel suffocated.
'Noisy! So noisy! It's driving me crazy!'
Freya's face turned pale.
Overwhelmed, she clutched her chest and took deep breaths, but she couldn't catch her breath.
She looked like a dying fish, desperately trying to gulp in air.
Everyone was startled by Freya's appearance.
Cecily calmly walked over, grabbed Freya's arm, and helped her adjust her breathing. Soon, Freya visibly calmed down.
Cecily let go and said emotionlessly, "You can't faint until this is resolved."
Freya bit her lip, looking awful.
Someone in the crowd accidentally laughed.
"Miss Watson is so commanding, saying she can't faint until things are resolved, making it seem like Freya is just pretending to faint."
"I agree. Miss Watson's actions just now were pretty cool."
Freya's forehead veins bulged. "Cecily, what more do you want? Killing my mom wasn't enough? Now, you want to push me to death?"
Cecily frowned. "You called the reporters, and you stirred things up. I'm here to resolve it and show everyone the truth, but you tore up the evidence. Now you're saying I'm pushing you to death? Tell me, what am I pushing you to do?"
Freya's face turned pale, and she was speechless.
Seeing everyone looking at her differently, Freya knew she wouldn't win today.
Freya raised her hand to her chest and said, "I'm not feeling well. Let's end the interview here. I don't want to continue."
She hoped to muddle through, but everyone wanted the truth and wouldn't leave.
Besides, Cecily wouldn't let her off easily.
The matter needed to be resolved once and for all.
"Your breathing is steady, and apart from a fast heartbeat due to nervousness, there's nothing wrong. So many people are watching. You don't want them to have come for nothing, right? Besides, you were pretty energetic when you grabbed the evidence just now."
The reporters, who had no intention of leaving, were even more determined to stay after hearing Cecily's words.
Freya was now in a tough spot, having shot herself in the foot.
"So what do you want?" she asked.
Cecily shook her head calmly. "I don't want anything. I just want to ask you. You said I pushed Jennifer down the building. Where's the evidence?"
Freya shouted angrily, "The evidence is that I harmed you, and you plan to retaliate by killing my mom."
"If we're back to this, then let's talk in detail about how you harmed me, leading me to retaliate by killing your mom."
"You…" Freya choked again, unable to speak.
Cecily raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I have evidence of you harming me, but you don't dare let everyone know. You say I killed your mom, but you have no evidence. You're convicting me with just your words, causing everyone to curse me. I'm really wronged."
Cecily's words were not only directed at Freya but at everyone.
Everyone said she was guilty, but they were convicting her with just their words.
