Chapter 198
“Later, take the little girl away. You don’t need to say anything. Just claim that you mistook her for another child, and make everything seem natural. Do you understand?”
“Got it.”
Subsequently, the video changed to Selena and the little girl sitting on a bench as they chatted and laughed. A while later, Selena received a phone call and went to the stairwell to answer the call. The little girl, on the other hand, went to the vending machine to buy something. All of a sudden, a man took the little girl’s hand and strode away. And it was precisely the man who was talking with Megan earlier, proving that this wasn’t a coincidence but a premeditated plan!
When Selena saw this video, she was likewise convinced that this was a premeditated event.
The video then ended there.
“I’d like to ask whether any of you here are mothers or fathers. If your daughter were once slapped by a woman, and she then went missing right under your nose, would you be anxious? And if it so happens that you bump into the person who once hurt your daughter, would you go and confront her right away?”
Selena’s words finally turned fervent. “Many families failed to search for their children at once when they went missing, and they were never again found. I think many who are parents themselves will understand my feelings at that time. I was looking for my daughter when I happened to bump into Megan Yard, so I naturally had to question her. To obtain the answer I want at the fastest possible speed, I wrapped my hands around her neck. As for her taking a tumble down the escalator, I was tripped. I don’t know whether the person who tripped me did it deliberately, but I was indeed tripped by someone. I lost my footing, so she likewise lost her balance and fell down the escalator. If you watch the video circulating on the internet carefully, you’ll notice that my body lurched at that time, and the only reason I didn’t take a tumble was having grabbed the escalator’s handrail.”
The reporters nodded. As this was a major incident that attracted a lot of attention, the media outlets assigned their experienced reporters to cover the press conference, so many of them were already parents. Thus, they naturally understood Selena’s feelings when she couldn’t find her daughter at that time. Everything makes sense now. It was Megan Yard who asked someone to take the little girl away for some inexplicable reason, perhaps to give Selena Yard a scare, but she shot herself in the foot.
“You said you were tripped. Is there proof?” a reporter continued questioning.
“There’s no proof. There were too many people at that time, and no one would’ve been taking a video from beneath, yes?” Selena initially wanted to say that the person nearest to her then was Meredith, but on second thought, she didn’t say anything considering Pierre furtively cut a segment of the video. Furthermore, she also felt that no one would believe her if she were to say that. Rather, they’d think that she was trying to shift the blame. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“For the incident at the bakery, we don’t know what was said since there was no sound. Perhaps it was your daughter who was rude and said something nasty that offended Megan Yard, leading to her slapping her in a fit of pique? This is also entirely possible.”
“That’s right. Selena Yard, we don’t know Megan Yard’s personality, after all. However, you knew full well that she’s pregnant, so even if it’s for the sake of your child, shouldn’t you have taken her delicate condition into consideration? Yet, you choked her when she was a pregnant lady.”
“I didn’t know that she was pregnant.”
“How are you going to prove that?” a reporter swiftly countered.
Selena went silent. It’s a matter of a person’s mind, so how is such a thing to be proved?
“So, you’re actually aware that she’s pregnant! All these excuses you gave have been prepared in advance!” Seizing her hesitation, a reporter immediately pounced.
