---- Chapter 173: Logan Was About to Change Girlfriends Again 'A whole group of people poured out of the basement like a small parade. What happened now? They'd only been down there for a few minutes! Logan was the first to step forward. "Who got hurt?" Aaron's eyes swept toward Clara. When he saw she was perfectly fine, he finally relaxed. One of the girls answered quickly, "It's Brooklyn. She said she tripped and fell, might've twisted her ankle." A servant rushed over with a first-aid kit, knelt down, and began tending to Brooklyn's leg.
A moment later, he stood and reported, "Sir, it looks like she's just scraped her skin." Logan helped Brooklyn up. "Stand slowly. Try walking a few steps. Does it still hurt?" Brooklyn leaned softly against Logan's, taking two cautious steps. Her voice was gentle and fragile. "I'm okay. It doesn't hurt too much." Logan frowned. "How'd you fall in the first place?" ---- Brooklyn said sweetly, "I was just chatting with Clara, and when I turned to leave, someone pushed me.
I fell." Then she turned toward Aaron, who was standing beside Clara, and said in an innocent tone, "Aaron, don't blame Clara. She just bumped into me by accident. I'm sure she didn't mean it." All eyes immediately turned to Clara. Clara smiled faintly, saying nothing, her expression calm as ever as she looked at Brooklyn. Aaron had one arm loosely around Clara's waist, his other hand in his pocket. His voice was cool and detached. "Oh?

And how do you know it was her who pushed you?" The two girls who'd arrived first at the scene chimed in, "When we got here, it was just Brooklyn and Clara." Ah, witnesses. Everyone's expression shifted as they glanced at Clara again. Seriously, Clara? Was that really necessary? If there was an issue, couldn't she just talk it out? Did she have to get physical? So uncivilized. Was this really Aaron's taste in women?
---- Since it was most people's first time meeting Clara, and Brooklyn was the famous actress everyone already knew and liked, it was no surprise the crowd instinctively sided with Brooklyn. Whispers spread quickly, and several people started shooting Clara judgmental looks. Even a girl who had been standing beside Clara watching the drama quietly took a few steps back, putting some distance between them-as if Clara were contagious. Logan, wanting to avoid making a scene, chuckled lightly. "So that's all this is? A little fall? She's fine. No big deal.
Let's just forget it." Caspian jumped in to smooth things over too. "Those heels are killer. Falling's normal. Come on, let's all go grab another drink!" Brooklyn put on her best gracious smile. "It's nothing, really. I'm fine. Let's go eat something." She was so good at playing the innocent sweetheart. No wonder she was an award-winning actress-her acting was flawless. If this hadn't involved her personally, Clara might've applauded her performance.
---- "Brooklyn," Clara's voice suddenly rose above the chatter, "where exactly were you standing just now?" Brooklyn, who had been leaning into Logan and about to leave, froze for a moment at Clara's tone. Then she turned back, limping a little as she approached Clara. "[ was standing right here, talking to you," she said firmly. "And then?" Clara's smile was faint, calm, unreadable. Brooklyn slowly turned around. "Then I turned, and I fell right here." "You said someone pushed you. Where exactly did they push you?" Clara asked.
"On my shoulder blade." "Oh?" Clara took a step closer and placed her hand on Brooklyn's shoulder blade. "Here?" Brooklyn didn't understand why Clara asked but nodded anyway. "Yes, right there." The moment she finished speaking, Clara gave a small push. With a loud splash, Brooklyn fell straight into the pool. The crowd gasped. What the hell was that?!
