?Chapter 120:
The living room fell silent immediately.
When nobody responded, Allen raised his eyebrows and looked toward Belinda. “Belinda, what do you think?”
Belinda paused to consider, then offered a knowing smile. “After all, Miss Miller is an educated and virtuousdy of considerable talents. Surely, she wouldn’t make up lies to me an innocent security guard, right?”
As Belinda spoke, Cathy’s expression darkened further.
sping her chest, Cathy moved closer into Kristopher’s arms. “Kristopher, I’m feeling sick. Can you take me to the hospital?”
Kristopher immediately supported her, his expression filled with worry. “Is the pain back?”
Cathy nodded, tears in her eyes. “Yes!”
“Okay, let’s get you to the hospital right away.”
Seeing her paleplexion, Kristopher inhaled deeply and was about to guide her away, his hands supportively on her shoulders.
“Wait a moment,” Anthony scoffed. “The surveince video will be ready soon. It won’t be toote to head to the hospital after we’ve seen it.”
Cathy bit her lip as if wrestling with a difficult choice, then raised her eyes to Anthony and said, “Anthony, there’s no need to watch the surveince. I realize that because of our past issues three years ago, you’re biased against me… Even if I’m treated unfairly, you’d still me me. Whether we view the surveince or not doesn’t matter anymore. I already…”
“Got it!”
Her speech was interrupted by Stanley’s excited announcement. The very next moment, Stanley pressed y on theptop.
“Why won’t you let me in? Do you know who I am? I am Cathy, the one Kristopher will formally marry soon! I’m the future Mrs. Cox, Kristopher’s wife. Do you really want to offend me? If you don’t let me in now, when I marry into the Cox family and take over, the first thing I’ll do is make sure you’re fired!”

Suddenly, the living room fell silent again.
Cathy’s forceful, sharp voice filled the space, resonating from theptop through the quiet room. Herplexion went white.
Kristopher slowly released his grip on Cathy’s shoulders.
This happened just moments after the surveince video ended. Anthony looked at Cathy with disdain and said sharply, “Is this your definition of being wronged by our security guard?”
Cathy bit her lip and remained silent.
Allen couldn’t resist chuckling and said, “Miss Miller seemed so delicate earlier, barely able to breathe andining of stomach pains… Yet, who would have guessed she had such spirit when confronting the security guard?”
He then nced at Belinda and said, “In the footage, Miss Miller was quite energetic, even more so than you.”
Belinda gave a slight smile. “It seems you were indeed truthful.”
Stanley smiled and gave the security guard a reassuring pat on the shoulder, saying, “Alright, you’re not fired. Get back to work.”
The security guard nodded and walked away.
As Belinda watched the security guard’s retreating, earnest figure, she remembered the incident that morning at the Swan Lake vi when Cathy had pushed her down the stairs and Kristopherter asked her to forgive Cathy voluntarily.
Moved by a sudden urge, Belinda took a deep breath, stood up, and said, “Wait.”
Under the astonished look of the security guard, she turned to face Cathy, whose face was now pale. “If not for today’s surveince at Anthony’s ce clearing the security guard, he would have lost his job because of Miss Miller’s lies. Shouldn’t you apologize to the security guard?”
Why was it that every time Cathy caused harm or wrongdoing, she escaped without even apologizing? Just because she’s protected by Kristopher?
