Everyone shifted their gazes toward Tina, and she turned into the center of attention. Her first instinct was to hide behind Toby, but Toby forcefully pressed his hand against her shoulder in order to stop her from shrinking away. “Tina, you need to learn how to own up to the mistakes that you’ve made!”

Tina widened her eyes and glared at him with a look of disbelief on her face. She seemed to be blaming him for forcing her to admit her faults instead of offering help to her. A hateful look flashed in her eyes as she bit her lower lip. Although the look in her eyes only lasted for a split second, Toby froze as he caught her glaring at him. Does Tina hate me just because I didn’t stand on her side?

“It seems like you know about it, President Fuller. I don’t think I have to beat around the bush anymore then.” Brenda took a sip of red wine before she continued, “I was on the second floor earlier, and I saw Miss Gray knocking against Miss Reed’s arm with my very own eyes. Miss Reed didn’t do anything at all— Miss Gray collapsed onto the ground on her own.”

“In other words, Tina faked her own fall and went on to frame our baby for it, huh?” Charles started getting excited as he spoke.

Brenda nodded. “That’s right.” Both Zane and Carl heaved a sigh of relief once they heard Brenda’s words. They were glad that she was on their side. Even Toby relaxed his firmly knitted eyebrows as he watched Sonia giving Brenda a sincere bow. “Thank you for speaking up for me.”

“I’m not doing it entirely for you. I just don’t like watching others pulling such nasty tricks on my turf,” Brenda said with a smile. Tina’s face turned beet red once she heard Brenda’s words.

Even Titus’s expression had turned sour, but he continued to grit his teeth and stuck to his guns. “That’s not what the girl from the Stone Family saw. She saw Sonia pushing Tina with her own eyes!”

“Oh? Are you sure you saw it happen?” Brenda’s casual smile remained on her face as she turned toward Cynthia.

“I… I…” Cynthia appeared rather flustered. She hadn’t expected Brenda to be on the second floor. After glancing at Brenda, Cynthia turned back to look at Tina and Titus.

Tina gave Cynthia an encouraging nod. “Say it, Cynthia. Tell them that you saw it.”

“That’s right, Cynthia. Say it. You should just be honest since you saw it with your own eyes,” Titus added to show his support.
