Chapter 5

Kairo noticed what I did and reminded me quietly, “Aurelia, we agreed yesterday.”

“I remember.”

I picked up the statement and walked onto the stage.

The camera flashes below immediately went off, and someone quickly recognized me.

“Aurelia Silva?”

“She’s Kairo’s wife?”

“Didn’t they say back then that she leaked the video and drove her husband and younger sister to their deaths?”

The voices around me grew louder and louder.

Just as the host was about to calm everyone down, Vienne suddenly stood up.

“Sister.”

She walked over to me and suddenly knelt down. In front of all the cameras, she started crying hard. “I know you’ve been treated unfairly these past three years. What happened back then was my fault.”

The room immediately became much quieter.

I looked at her without saying anything.

But Vienne suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, which was my injured right hand.

Pain shot deep into my bones, and I quickly pulled my hand back.

The next second, Vienne suddenly stumbled backward. There were steps right behind her.

Before I could react, she had already fallen down.

With a loud thud, the entire room broke into chaos.

“Vienne!” Kairo suddenly ran over.

Vienne curled up on the ground, holding her belly tightly.

A little blood slowly appeared beneath the bottom of her white dress.

People around us gasped.

“She’s bleeding!”

“Call an ambulance!”

“Did Aurelia push her just now?”

All the cameras turned toward me at once. I stood on the steps.

I could even hear someone saying:

“She drove them to jump off a building three years ago, and now she even dares to push a pregnant woman?”

“Is this woman crazy?”

Vienne was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but she still held onto Kairo’s sleeve. “Kairo, don’t blame Aurelia. I just lost my balance…”

As soon as she said that, everyone around us became even more worked up.

Kairo raised his head and walked straight toward me.

Slap!

The sudden slap left my ears ringing a little.

“She still has a child in her belly!” Kairo shouted.

Three years ago, when I was lying in the emergency room, there had also been a child in my belly.

It was just that back then, no one knew.

I looked at him. “I didn’t push her.”

Before Kairo could say anything, Mom had already hurried over. “So many people saw it. What are you still trying to argue about? Aurelia, when did you become like this?”

I ignored her and only looked at the large screen behind them.

“Wasn’t this being livestreamed the whole time just now?”

Everyone around us slowly went quiet. I pointed at the screen. “Replay it.”

Vienne’s expression clearly changed.

The staff stood there without moving.

I repeated, “Play the video from now.”

With so many media outlets there and things already getting this serious, no one dared to refuse outright.

Very soon, the scene from just now played again on the large screen.

Vienne walked toward me and grabbed my hand. I pulled my hand away, and she fell down the steps.

When I watched it the first time, it really did look like I had pushed her.

People below the stage started talking again. “Isn’t that obvious?”

I said calmly, “Slow it down.”

The video started again. This time, it played at half speed.

I looked at the screen. “Stop.”

The video froze. Vienne was holding my hand, while my hand hadn’t touched her body at all.

This time, everyone could see it clearly.

After I pulled my hand back, Vienne had already caught her balance, but the next second, she let go on her own.

Then she stepped backward and happened to miss the step.

The venue suddenly became completely quiet. The reporters who had just been calling me names all stopped talking.

Kairo also looked up at the large screen.

Vienne’s face went completely pale. “No… I was just dizzy at the time. Kairo, I didn’t…”

I looked down at the statement in my hand, then placed it back on the table in front of everyone.

“So I won’t read this statement today.”

Kairo suddenly looked up. “Aurelia!”

Vienne quickly looked at me.

I looked at the audience. “Three years ago, I had no idea that Kairo and Vienne were still alive. Before that video came out, I didn’t even know they were at the same hotel. As for who posted it, you should ask the two people in the video.”

After saying that, I turned around and walked away.

The noise behind me almost shook the entire venue, but none of it mattered to me anymore.

I had just stepped out of the hotel when a sudden commotion started outside.

The driveway that had been crowded earlier was already cleared.

Two Bentleys led the way, followed closely by six black Rolls-Royces. The extended Phantom in the middle slowly stopped in front of the hotel.

The reporters immediately turned their cameras toward it.

“Is that the Snyder family’s motorcade?”

“Why would the car in the middle be here?”

Kairo ran after me. The moment he saw the license plate, he suddenly stopped.

The next second, all the car doors opened.

A man in a suit quickly walked over to me. When he saw my injured right arm, his face immediately changed.

“Miss, you’re hurt?”

Kairo’s expression changed. “You came to pick her up?”

The man took my bag and opened the Phantom’s door for me. “Sir and Madam have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Kairo suddenly called after me, “Aurelia Silva!”

The man turned around and calmly corrected him.

“Mr. Simpson.”

“Our Miss’s surname is not Silva.”
