“You said that I stood here and dragged you, right? Well, since I already have the upper hand and am in the spotlight of the whole banquet, why did I shoot myself in the foot and make such a mess?”

Tanya couldn’t find a reason for a while and could only skate over and say, “Nola, I have never really understood you. How could I know why you did this?”

Nola laughed and said, “But it looks like I chose a very hard way to drag you. I was standing in front of you, but I stepped back to pull you down. Anyone can try this posture, and you can easily know that even if I want to cause you trouble to make you fail, I will do it this way,”

As Nola said, she took advantage of Tanya’s unprepared state and kicked Tanya backward. Tanya let out a scream and suddenly fell backward. Fortunately, Javion quickly caught Tanya. He said, “Nola, don’t go too far.”

“I’m sorry, I’m just giving a demonstration! As you can see, if I want to make her stumble, wouldn’t it be easier to do it that way? And won’t I be happier to see her spill all that red wine on herself like that? Why should I choose the hard way, to step back and even bump into Mrs. Hadley?”

What she had said made sense.

“Please think about it. Under what circumstances will a person subconsciously take a step back?”

Hearing this, everyone understood what Nola meant. At this point, Janie stood up and explained, “Only when one wants to avoid danger does one unconsciously back away, and my sister–in–law backed away because she wanted to avoid Tanya.”

It seemed to make sense.

Tanya couldn’t think of a way to explain it and said hastily, “It’s not like that. How could I take the initiative to make trouble for Nola? I didn’t do that.”
