The most frightening thing is the sudden silence.
At this moment, all the guests in the banquet hall were as quiet as a mouse, and you could hear a pin drop.
Even the violinist in the corner stopped moving because of Felicity Grant's words.
Wendy Lynch stopped crying, staring blankly at Felicity Grant.
Then she glanced at South Grant, and then her gaze fell on Chester Lynch.
Oh my, what's wrong with this world?
Isn't South Grant best friends with Chester?
Everyone says they're best friends for life.
Could they be more than just friends?
Felicity Grant looked at South Grant, expecting him to panic and hurriedly explain to Chester Lynch when faced with such a situation.
Because the more someone explains in such situations, the guiltier they appear.
Felicity Grant was waiting for this scene.
But South Grant remained silent from start to finish, sitting motionless on the sofa.
Her lazy posture gave the impression that he had nothing to do with the situation before him.
Just as Felicity Grant was about to speak again to mock South Grant, she saw South Grant sit up straight and stretch lazily.
Her legs were long, now extending fully.
Everyone was watching her, seemingly waiting for her to give an explanation.
At this time, Wendy's mother saw the scene and hurriedly ran over.
She saw Wendy's forehead bleeding, her face covered in blood, and was scared out of her wits.
"Wendy, what happened?" Mrs. Lynch's voice trembled, terrified by Wendy's appearance.
Before Wendy could speak, Felicity Grant spoke from the side:
"Auntie, I'm sorry, it's all the Grant Family's fault. My cousin South Grant tripped Wendy and also has... some unspeakable feelings for Chester..."
As Felicity Grant said this, her face was full of shame, as if she wished she could disappear.
Listening to Felicity Grant's words, Mrs. Lynch's initial anger slowly turned into shock.
What Felicity Grant said completely turned her world upside down!
South Grant!
Not only did he trip Wendy, but he also harbored feelings for Chester!
Mrs. Lynch hurriedly approached South Grant, ready to confront her.
But just as she raised her hand, someone beside her grasped her wrist.
"Mom, South is my guest."
It was Chester Lynch.
Mrs. Lynch looked at him blocking her, extremely angry, "Chester, you're actually defending him!"
South Grant looked at Chester Lynch standing in front of her and slightly curved his lips.
This secret crush was worth it!
Even though he was still a teenager, he possessed all the qualities of responsibility.
South Grant then stretched her legs and spoke calmly:
"Aunt Lynch, I haven't moved from my place since Wendy fell. Auntie, if you look closely now, can you spot anything wrong?"
Mrs. Lynch was in a state of anger, in no mood to discuss anything calmly.
Chester Lynch frowned slightly.
Before Mrs. Lynch could get angrier, Chester Lynch quickly spoke:
"Mom, look, Wendy fell here, and if South really wanted to trip her, he would have to extend his legs like this, requiring a lot of movement. But I was sitting across from him the entire time and didn't see him move. This proves one thing, Wendy was not tripped by South Grant."
"If not him, then who?" Mrs. Lynch asked angrily.
Chester Lynch glanced at everyone, then said, "The people sitting closest to Wendy were Felicity Grant and Sylvia Flynn."
Felicity Grant panicked when Chester Lynch pointed the suspicion at her, her face turning pale.
"Chester, how could it be me? I was playing cards with you at that time!" Sylvia Flynn hurriedly explained when mentioned.
