Chapter 1201
Hylda froze, and her eyes widened as she looked at Olivia. 'That can't be right! I've checked this wedding venue
multiple times when everything was being set up, and there were no cameras near the gazebo."
The area was surrounded by lush greenery, which made it difficult for people to spy on Hylda and Xenia when they
were having their conversation. It was the perfect place for Hylda to execute her scheme without leaving any
traces behind. She had even consulted the park administrator of Dragon Lagoon to confirm the locations of all the
surveillance cameras to ensure that there were no hiccups in her plan.
'What the hell is Olivia on about?' thought Hylda. She forced herself to remain composed and asked, "What is the
meaning of this, Mrs. Chapman? Do you think I'm lying?”
Olivia put on an innocent-looking face and explained, "Mrs. Jewell, as the owner of Dragon Lagoon, it is my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresponsibility to ensure that the facilities I provide are safe for use. Since I would be liable if anything happens to
my tenants or their guests due to amenity issues, I've installed multiple CCTVs around the area to monitor the
place. I don't mean to question your honesty, Mrs. Jewell. I'm just suggesting we check the surveillance footage to
find out the truth."
Hearing that, Xenia was quick to react. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she said, ’Mr. Jewell, I swear I didn't
push her. She asked me to come here, and we were just talking when she suddenly grabbed my arms and jumped
off the-.’
"That's enough! Stop trying to frame my mom for what you've done!" Sophia interrupted.
"Let's not jump to conclusions, Ms. Jewell. How can you be absolutely certain that this young lady pushed your
mother without looking at the surveillance footage?" Vermont asked in disdain.
"It's obviously her! My mom's pregnant and can barely climb the stairs. There's no way she could push someone off
the railing!" Sophia angrily retorted.
"Exactly. It would be difficult for Mrs. Jewell to climb the stairs. Why did she go to the gazebo when she knew that it
was so high up? Did the young lady carry her up there just to push her?"
Sophia was taken aback. Feeling both embarrassed and furious, she asked, "Are you trying to imply that my mom
framed her?’
Vermont shrugged. "I'm just pointing out the obvious. There's no need to get feisty, Ms. Jewell. Like Mrs. Chapman
said, we can check the surveillance to see what happened. Why don't we just do that instead of making
assumptions? Don't tell me you're scared to reveal the truth."
Vermont's words were sharp, leaving Sophia at a loss for a quick comeback.
"I'm not scared!’ Sophia said.
Surprised, Vermont said, "Then, let's find out who the real culprit is. By the way, there's no reason to be mad, Ms.
Jewell. I never said that Mrs. Jewell did it."

"You-’
"Enough, Sophia!" Hylda stepped in to stop her daughter. She turned to Albert with a pale face and said, "I'm not
going to argue with someone like her. We can watch the surveillance footage if you don't believe me.'
Seeing how disheartened she looked, Albert felt that he was being ridiculous for suspecting that she would risk her
own safety to harm Xenia.' Hylda is not a foolish person,' he thought.
"Alright. I trust you,’ whispered Albert.
Just then, the park manager approached Olivia and said, "Madam, we've found the surveillance footage you
requested. We're currently making a copy which will be sent to your phone shortly.'
Hylda's lower back and abdomen were aching as she thought, 'Fucking hell.
I can't believe that she actually has CCTV footage.' Suddenly, she felt a warm liquid gushing out of her lower body,
and her face turned pale as she realized the severity of the situation. "Albert, the... the baby...’
Albert was alarmed when he noticed that Hylda's dress was stained in red. At the same time, Xenia was also
experiencing excruciating abdominal pain. She curled up on the ground and held her lower abdomen while crying
out in agony.
