Chapter 145

Before Susan could respond, Theresa couldn’t help but say, “Have you lost your mind? It was clearly you who grabbed Mrs. Landor’s hand and deliberately fell into the pool!”

A staff member nearby chimed in, “Exactly, Ms. Lynn, don’t stir up trouble unnecessarily. We all saw it, you fell on purpose.”

“You…you all…” Monica trembled as she pointed accusingly at the people around her. “She’s Mrs. Landor, of course, you all would take her side. You are bullying a weak woman like me. Don’t your hearts ache by doing this to me, especially when the night is quiet and deep?”

Everyone was speechless.

The woman in his arms was crying rivers, and Thomas hesitated as he glanced at the swimming pool, seemingly caught in two minds.

“Do you also not believe me?” Monica looked at him somewhat hysterically. “Why would I jump into the pool myself? There’s no reason. And you saw, Thomas, I can’t swim at all. But I was in the pool for several minutes and no one came to rescue me. It was only when you arrived that I was saved. If you hadn’t come, I might… I might have drowned in the

pool.”

Monica’s cries became more heart–wrenching, “What have I done to deserve such hatred. from Mrs. Landor, to the point she wants to see me dead? Just because I was once Ben’s wife? Even though I came back, I never intended to compete with you! Can’t you tolerate my presence at all?”

Monica’s crying escalated, becoming increasingly pitiful to the point that she seemed on the verge of fainting from distress.

Unable to bear seeing her so distressed, Thomas couldn’t find the words to say, only managing to softly console her.

The onlookers were at a loss for words.

If they hadn’t witnessed the whole scene, they might have felt sorry for Ms. Lynn.

Her methods might be mediocre, but her acting was top–notch.

Monica’s wailing and theatrics attracted the attention of the entire film crew.

As more people gathered, Monica’s cries grew louder, and her appearance became more pitiful.
