Chapter 631
“Oh, is that so?” Dylan’s lips curved into a sharp, mocking grin. He pulled out his phone, casually scrolling for a moment. “I’ve got full footage. Shows she tripped on her own.”
What none of them realized was that Dylan’s parked car had recorded the whole thing—clear as day. If Edwin hadn’t been nosy enough to dig through the footage, they’d still be going off guesswork.
“Impossible!” Katie blurted. “Yolanda isn’t like that! You must be mistaken!” Katie immediately dismissed the idea. There was no way the always-elegant Yolanda would stoop to something like that.
Yolanda whispered, tears spilling down her cheeks, her eyes full of hurt.
Brendon gripped her hand tightly. “I don’t believe you’d do something like that. There has to be some misunderstanding.”
Then, Brendon turned to Dylan, his face stiffening. “Mr. Scott, I know you’re protective—even of your staff—but accusing someone without proof isn’t right.”
Dylan held up the phone. His gaze landed on Yolanda, ice-cold and menacing. “Are you going to admit the truth, or should I post the evidence online and let everyone see for themselves?”
Yolanda’s face twisted. Tears streamed as she bit down hard, her jaw clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms—but she didn’t feel a thing. Damn it. Why the hell did Dylan have to get involved?
“Go ahead and post it! What, you think we’re afraid of you?” Katie challenged, her voice steady. “That’s just baseless slander. The public will see the truth and judge for themselves.”
Katie never once considered the possibility that Yolanda might fabricate a story or set Christina up. Her faith in Yolanda was absolute, so strong it bordered on ridiculous.
Brendon spoke up, his expression serious. “Katie’s right. Innocent people don’t fear false accusations. The truth will speak for itself.”
Yolanda was on edge, wanting to stop them from challenging Dylan but fearing the exposure of her own lies. Yet, if she did nothing, she worried that Dylan truly held damning proof.
“Mr. Scott, everyone knows you’re fiercely protective, but this time, you’re crossing a line…” Yolanda’s words trailed off as her emotions seemingly overwhelmed her. Suddenly, she collapsed straight toward Brendon.

“Yolanda!” Brendon quickly caught her, startled.
Katie dashed over. “Brendon, don’t just stand there! Get her to the hospital immediately!”
“She’s just putting on an act. There’s no reason to take her to the hospital,” Christina said flatly, exposing Yolanda’s theatrics.
Yolanda’s blood boiled. How did Christina see right through her performance?
“Enough of your nonsense. Yolanda really passed out. What would a vet like you know anyway?” Katie snapped, glaring at Christina.
Brendon shot Christina a look of annoyance, his tone frosty. “Christina, haven’t you stirred up enough trouble? If something happens to Yolanda, I’ll hold you responsible.”
Dylan’s voice cut through the tension, cold and unyielding. “As long as I’m here, no one’s laying a hand on her.”
