The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 391 - 387

Chapter 391: Chapter 387

"What on earth are you trying to achieve?" Damon’s words were aimed directly at me, his brow furrowed in a manner that oddly mirrored Catherine.

Was he upset about me "bullying" Catherine?

Was he feeling protective?

I stared back at him impassively. I was well used to him defending others. His relentless defense of Ariel in my past life had prepared me for that, so I felt more irony than anything else now.

"I just want a clearer picture of Dr. Catherine’s actions; is there a problem with that?" I retorted.

"This is not the place for it. Let’s leave it at that." Damon’s tone was stern, as though I was a child who had misbehaved.

If not there, then where?

At that point, Silas and Lisa chimed in, "Eliana, tell us what really happened!"

I was surprised that under those circumstances, Silas and Lisa were still on my side. Once I revealed the truth, it would have not only slapped Catherine’s face, but also Damon’s. If she were to truly marry into the Coleman family, that incident would have also become a stain on the Coleman family’s reputation.

"What exactly is going on here?" The Dean couldn’t hold back his curiosity. With so many people watching and the media invited for publicity, that turn of events was unexpected.

"The supposed patient was just someone Dr. Catherine had hired! I don’t know why she did it. That’s for you to investigate!" I blurted out the truth, then handed my phone to the nearest person. They took it, bewildered, glanced at it, and then their eyes widened.

Everyone else crowded around to look. Gossip spread fast, and once a few people in the crowd knew, it would have naturally disseminated.

Catherine tried to snatch the phone, but nearly everyone had already seen the contents.

Someone, filled with a sense of justice, shouted, "The patient was really someone she hired! Isn’t this deceiving us all?"

With that revelation, the award ceremony instantly became a farce.

The faces of the Dean and other leaders on stage resembled someone who had swallowed a fly. They were extremely uncomfortable.

Damon’s gaze instantly darkened. He glanced at Catherine, and I thought he would have reproached her for her actions. Instead, he walked through the crowd, took Catherine’s hand, and led her away from the scene.

Suddenly, I, the whistleblower, felt like a clown, unsure if I had won or lost.

Due to my revelation, the award ceremony ended in chaos. Some people came to ask me about the process of discovering the truth, but I refused to explain. I just wanted to go home. After leaving the hospital, I was preparing to drive home when Silas and Lisa caught up with me. They were accompanied by Leo, whom Damon had left behind when he left with Catherine.

Leo seemed to understand what had happened. Seeing me, he gritted his teeth, broke free from his grandparents’ hands, and rushed at me, pounding his small fists against me. "You hurt my mommy!

How could you be so mean? My mommy didn’t do anything wrong!"

Seeing Leo’s violent actions, Silas immediately grabbed him. "Leo, you can’t behave like this. Your mommy was in the wrong, do you understand?"

"My mommy didn’t do anything wrong. Grandpa, why are you helping this mean lady too?" Leo whimpered and cried, then pointed at me and accused me.

"She’s not a mean lady," Silas corrected Leo. "Be a good boy and wait in the car. Grandma and I have some things to deal with."

On such a serious matter, Silas didn’t indulge Leo at all and was even quite stern.

Leo, scared, sobbed his way to the car where the driver was waiting.

Once Leo was in the car, Silas sighed, his face filled with displeasure. "I don’t know how Catherine has been raising the child abroad. Leo has many flaws that need to be corrected gradually!"

"Yes, this child has really been spoiled!" Lisa also expressed her dissatisfaction with Catherine. "No wonder she herself is of such character and has corrupted the child!"

I kept silent. I didn’t want to comment on that matter, as it would have seemed too deliberate.

Lisa continued, "Eliana, you did nothing wrong today. She almost deceived Silas and me. We thought she was at least decent, but it turns out everything was a setup to deceive us to change our impression of her. We weren’t going to come today, but Leo insisted, so we had no choice. Now it seems it was a good thing we came!"

"Lisa, as long as you don’t blame me, it’s fine." I said.

"You silly girl, why would we blame you? If we didn’t know her true colors and slowly accepted her, letting her marry into the Coleman family,it would have been a disaster!" Lisa answered firmly.

I truly admired them, not only for their favoritism towards me but also for their clear sense of right and wrong.

Silas couldn’t help but add, "This Catherine, we objected to her not just because of the disparity in our social status!"

I didn’t know there were other reasons. I was surprised.

Silas seemed to think it was inappropriate and shook his head, saying no more. But Lisa couldn’t resist, "What’s there to hide? She took a sum of money from Damon and then came to us asking for more!"

I was at a loss for words after hearing that.

Catherine did that? I was sure Damon’s breakup fee to her wasn’t small. She wouldn’t have needed to ask Silas and Lisa for money. What was her purpose? She was simply ruining her own image.

But what was done was done, so it was no wonder Silas and Lisa had such a bad impression of her.

After chatting for a while, I saw Damon and Catherine’s figures appear. They probably hadn’t gone far. And Catherine’s eyes were red.

Seeing me talking with Silas and Lisa, she turned around and walked away.

Damon reluctantly grabbed her wrist, "Wouldn’t it be better to explain things clearly?"

"I don’t want to explain when they’re not going to believe me anyway. They only believe who they want to believe." Catherine’s words held a veiled meaning as she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with pain.

Silas and Lisa, of course, understood her words, but they chose to turn a blind eye,

"Speak up, and I’ll make them believe you." Damon’s command was clear and unarguable. He brought Catherine back in front of Silas and Lisa. "Speak."

Seeing him defend Catherine like that, I was taken back to a moment from before. It was like watching Damon defend Ariel, standing up for her in front of his parents, wasn’t it?

I averted my gaze, turned around, and strode away. Whether Silas and Lisa chose to believe Catherine or not, it was none of my business anymore.
