Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 114: A sudden sting in her arm drew Nyla's attention; she noticed her wound had started to bleed once more. "She's the one who initiated the altercation," Nyla replied, gesturing toward a camera behind her. "Check the surveillance." Both Margaret and Callie turned in surprise to see a camera pointed directly at them. Margaret's heart raced with fear. Hadn't Callie assured her that this area was not covered by cameras? How had a camera appeared out of nowhere? Ethan signaled with a glance, prompting Jackson to check the camera.

Minutes later, Jackson returned with an update, saying, "The camera isn't working." Relieved, both Callie and Margaret exhaled deeply. Regaining her poise, Margaret burst into tears, saying, "You're just trying to manipulate the situation. You assaulted me, won't apologize, and now you're misleading the CEO." Callie touched Ethan's arm, her expression one of disbelief. "Ethan, perhaps Nyla didn't intend any harm, but her outright denial of any wrongdoing is unacceptable." The murmurs from the crowd grew louder, joining in the discussion. "Clearly, Nyla was the instigator.

We all saw it unfold." "Indeed, it was Nyla who struck first." "Upon our arrival, we caught Nyla verbally warning Margaret while yanking her hair." One by one, voices condemned Nyla, presuming her guilt. Ⓜⓞⓡⓔ ⓤⓟⓓⓐⓣⓔⓢ ⓘⓝ ⓖⓐⓛⓝⓞⓥⓔⓛⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ With nothing left to defend herself, Nyla simply gazed at Ethan, hoping he would remember her true character from their time together. Their eyes locked. Ethan responded, his voice unyielding, "Handle it appropriately. Isn't Callie here? Enforce our disciplinary measures." As she leaned back against the wall, a hint of sarcasm flickered in Nyla's eyes.

It was clear Ethan had already sided against her. "Let's suspend her for three days to reflect and reduce her monthly bonus by half," Callie said, barely concealing a grin. "And Nyla should apologize to Margaret." Ethan's eyes met Nyla's, noticing her evident disappointment. For some unknown reason, his heart felt like it was being squeezed. The absurdity and predictability of the situation weren't lost on Nyla. "I did nothing wrong. I refuse to apologize," she replied, her tone resolute. "But you clearly..." "I maintain my innocence.

Dismiss me if you must, but I will not apologize." Ethan's expression darkened with frustration. "Will you ever stop this defiance?" His remarks silenced the room, prompting some to discreetly exit. . . .
