When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Speak the Truth

"Miss Lynwood, you're indeed very intelligent," Yozan coldly snorted, dispelling any doubts he had.

"So, may I ask, do you have any evidence to prove that Yelena instructed you to do these things?"

The man suddenly became confused. He felt like the woman in front of him was not easy to fool. "I can definitely provide evidence."

The man pulled out his phone from his pocket and showed her the transaction record. "Look, this is the money transfer that Miss Sullivan made to me."

Elspeth casually glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed the Sullivan Family's credit card. She read out the string of numbers and asked Yelena, "Are you still using this card?"

Yelena's face turned pale in an instant. "Yes, I'm still using this credit card," Yelena admitted. She never paid much attention to the details of her spending since her father directly deposited money into her credit card. She hurriedly checked the credit card's expenditure record and found that it was missing 30 thousand.

"I don't know what happened, but I really didn't transfer any money to him. I don't even know him."

However, her defense seemed weak.

Yozan made a final judgment, almost certain that Yelena was the culprit. "Miss Sullivan, I advise you to admit your mistake and not escalate the situation." Yozan signaled to the people around, and in the next moment, a few of them tried to grab Yelena.

Hank quickly shielded her, looking very upset. "What are you trying to do, Mr. Harley?"

"At the very least, she should apologize to Cecelia, and then... kneel down before Cecelia. If Cecelia doesn't mind, then it's no big deal." Although there was no actual harm done, the humiliation was something Yelena couldn't bear.

"I didn't do those things. I'm not going to apologize." Yelena poked her head out from behind and refused to admit her guilt.

"That's not up to you, Miss Sullivan," Yozan warned her.

"Mr. Harley, don't act recklessly for now," Elspeth said with a half-smile and her tone was somewhat threatening. "The matter has not been resolved yet. How can you just take someone away?"

"Isn't what I saw the truth?" Yozan realized that she was just trying to buy time, and his favorable impression of her vanished. He had thought that someone so similar to himself would at least be his equal in rationality, but he didn't expect her to be like this.

Elspeth didn't rush to refute, but slowly said, "Give me some time, and I'll be able to find out the truth of the matter."

Yozan's patience was almost gone. "Alright, I'll give you 10 more minutes, and then I must take her away."

"Okay." Elspeth walked slowly to the man who was kneeling, bent down, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, you said Yelena asked you to do this. When did you meet her?"

The man's brain worked quickly, and he continued, "It was the night before last. She met me and ordered me to push Miss Cecelia into the lake on the day of the engagement party." It sounded plausible. However…

"The night before last, that's... The timing does match up." Elspeth nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that this person knew Yelena's schedule well and chose the right time.

Yelena was furious. "What nonsense are you spouting? I went to try on my wedding dress that night. How could I have met you?"

The man knew that he shouldn't say too much and quickly glanced at Yelena before lowering his head again.

"I'm telling the truth," the man insisted.

"Fine, that's not important. Let's move on to the next question," Elspeth said, stroking her chin. "Are you sure everything you just said is true?"

The man nodded earnestly. This was something he had prepared in advance, and it was foolproof. Elspeth sneered, "Then tell me, how did Yelena know that Cecelia would definitely get on that boat?"

The man gritted his teeth and replied, "Miss Sullivan said that Miss Yhorman came from Southern Damoria and would definitely go boating."

"Then why would she tell someone she isn't familiar with about the fact that she came from Southern Damoria?" Elspeth raised an eyebrow.

"I-I don't know. That's just what was said at the time. I'm just a boatman. This is all I know."

The man stuck to his original statement.

Elspeth shook her head, looking a little regretful. "I'm sorry, but you've been exposed."

"What do you mean?" The man was a little stunned.

"First of all, Cecelia never had a private conversation with Yelena, so she had no way of knowing that Cecelia was from Southern Damoria."

Hank nodded in agreement. "Secondly, only a handful of people know that Cecelia is from Southern Damoria. Probably only those close to her would know."

The man snorted. "What does that prove? Maybe they told each other. It has nothing to do with me."

Elspeth smirked. "Finally, and most importantly, when Cecelia fell from the boat, I witnessed a woman pushing her. Coincidentally, this ring on my hand has recording capabilities, and of course, it's waterproof. Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. If you still don't want to tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless toward you."

Elspeth was clearly smiling, but there was a hint of killing intent in her smile. The man panicked; he didn't expect this woman to be so clever and meticulous in her thinking. She even had concrete evidence to refute him. Elspeth stared directly into his eyes, waiting for him to continue. The man couldn't handle the pressure, and in the end, he caved.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have falsely accused Miss Sullivan."

Elspeth shrugged as if she had expected this all along.

Yozan didn't expect her to actually uncover the truth of the matter. He checked his watch and saw that only seven minutes had passed.

"Tell us the truth of what you know!" Yelena squatted down and grabbed his collar, threatening him with a fierce expression.

Seeing her lose her temper and on the ground in her wedding dress, Hank quickly pulled her up. "Okay, don't be angry. Let me handle this."

Hank stared at the man in front of him. His tone was icy as he said, "Who told you to lie?"

The man was trembling and couldn't even kneel properly. "I-It was Miss Foley!"
