Chapter 69
Once Snow had the tablet, she could delete the surveillance footage. She could pretend that it was an accident and come up with an excuse to deter others from viewing it. She was confident that this would allow her to conceal the truth.
Just as the staff was about to pass her the tablet, Ryan took it and spoke indifferently, “Let me watch it. Miss Walls is injured, so it’s inconvenient for her to move.”
Snow was dumbfounded.
Ada saw a glass of water nearby and picked it up quietly. She intended to feign a sl*p of the hand and spill water on the tablet. However, Ryan knew what she was up to and glared at her.
She was already feeling uneasy. When she met his piercing gaze, she got startled and dropped the glass on the floor.
Ryan smiled and shot her a meaningful glance. “Miss Pond, are you okay? Why is your hand shaking?”
Ada quickly hid her hand behind her back and tried to appear composed. “I’m fine. The water was a little hot, so I accidentally dropped it,” she replied.
“You have to be more careful, then. You’ll hurt yourself if you hold something too hot.”
Ada understood the implication of his words but chose not to respond.
Ryan played the surveillance footage at sixteen times the speed and finished watching it before long. He handed the tablet to Neil with an unpleasant expression and said, “Take a look for yourself.”
Soon after, Ryan turned his attention to Henry and said with a sneer, “Your girlfriend’s truly something else. This is what happens when your own actions come back to bite you.”
Henry frowned, but Ryan left the room before he could say anything.
Snow’s face had turned pale the moment Ryan finished watching the footage.
She realized that she could no longer hide the truth.
When Neil was done, his expression darkened considerably too.
He felt a surge of indescribable anger and guilt in his heart. The memory of forcing Silvia to apologize weighed heavily on him. It made him tighten his grip on the tablet until his fingertips turned pale.
Then, he raised the tablet and threw it at Snow. She screamed in terror. Although she managed to dodge it, her face turned
even paler.
Henry was shocked by the drastic change in Neil and Ryan’s attitudes. Snow might not be as innocent as she had claimed.
“Henry, I told you earlier not to let Snow harm Silvia. Since you can’t get her to behave, I don’t mind helping you!”
After Neil left, Henry turned to Snow with anger in his eyes.
“What the hell’s going on?! Snow, I’ll only give you one chance to explain. If you lie, I’ll break up with you!”
Neil learned from the staff that Silvia had returned to the hotel, so he hurried over. As he entered the room, he found her in the midst of packing her things.
He quickly moved to stop her, but he was at a loss for words.
“Silvia, I want to-”
She gave him an indifferent look. “Neil, I’ve told you that I won’t apologize. It doesn’t matter even if you take me to her. I’m not apologizing no matter what.”
“I’m not here for that. I’ve watched the surveillance footage.”
Neil’s voice was hoarse. He did not know w to do to receive forgi less.
Silvia was silent, and there were no emotions in her eyes.
“In that case, can you please step aside?”
“Where are you going?”
Her patience was wearing thin. Just as she was about to respond, she heard Abalene’s furious voice outside the door.
“That’s none of your business!”
Neil turned to see Abalene entering the room with an angry look.
“Grandma, can you please not cause more trouble?”
Silvia was clearly angry at him. If he failed to resolve this matter promptly, she would treat him even colder in the future.
Abalene sneered. “I finally understand why Silvia wants to divorce you. It’s better to divorce a sc*mbag like you as soon as possible! I support her decision!”
