Chapter 206 Accident

Lola’s wheelchair blocked Dante’s path. “Dante, the doctor said you need to rest and avoid getting too emotional. Anne is busy with her date, so I’ll be taking care of you for the next few days.”

Dante’s eyes turned cold. “My affairs have nothing to do with you! Who are you to take care of me?”

Lola’s tears fell. “Have you forgotten? I saved your life! How can you say it has nothing to do with me?”

“Yes, you saved me. Are you planning to use that to hold me hostage forever? Haven’t I repaid that debt long ago? Lola, I don’t want to get physical, just get out of here!”

Dante felt such hatred towards Lola that he wished he could strangle her.

Anne must have misunderstood… that was why she wanted to leave him.

Lola’s tears flowed freely, but Dante ignored them.

At this moment, Meryl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. “Lola, was it because of you that Anne’s leg was injured in that stage accident and she could no longer dance?”

Hearing this, Lola froze, her tears instantly drying on her face.

“What are you saying? You suspect me of harming Anne? Why would I do that?”

Meryl stared into her eyes as if seeing through her soul.

“Because that way, you could take Anne’s place, going from a backup dancer who couldn’t perform on stage to a formal dancer.”

Lola was the biggest beneficiary of Anne’s injury; she had a clear motive to do such a thing.

“Nonsense! Utter nonsense!”

Seeing Dante looking at her suspiciously, Lola panicked.

“Dante, please don’t believe her. She has no evidence! She’s framing me!”

Meryl added, “Framing you? But I have the surveillance footage from that day. It shows you tampering with the wires.”

Back then, at the dance company, Anne needed to perform a high-difficulty dance move, and they used a harness for the scene.

But no one expected that when Anne was lifted high into the air by the harness, the equipment suddenly malfunctioned.

She fell straight down, a distance of two or three stories.

Anne must have been in so much pain.

Lola was initially panicked, but when she heard that Meryl had surveillance footage, she suddenly calmed down.

It was impossible. When the accident happened, they had checked all the surveillance cameras.

But the surveillance system had malfunctioned, and nothing was recorded.

Because it was Lola who had poured boiling water onto the surveillance chip, causing it to burn out.

So, in the end, the incident could only be treated as an accident and left unresolved.

Meryl didn’t have the surveillance footage; she was just saying that to test Lola.

When she clearly saw the flicker of panic in Lola’s eyes, Meryl already had the answer to this matter in her heart.

Over the years, no one had suspected that Lola was behind it, not even Anne herself, who also thought it was just an accident.

Kind people didn’t intentionally think the worst of others.

It seemed that Lola had not only tampered with the harness but had also destroyed the surveillance footage long ago, which was why she was so calm now.

Dante didn’t know Meryl was deliberately testing Lola. He was shocked to hear that Anne’s injury was related to Lola. He stared at Meryl in disbelief.

“Anne’s injury wasn’t an accident? Where’s the surveillance footage? Show me!”

Lola knew Meryl wouldn’t be able to produce it, so she quickly said, “Dante, don’t listen to her nonsense! She’s framing me. I’m innocent!”

Dante frowned. “She’s Chandler’s wife. Why would she frame you? What would she gain?”

Meryl took out her phone, tapped it twice, and handed it to Dante.

“The original surveillance footage was damaged, but I have a friend who happens to be a senior expert at the chip company.”
