Chapter 249
Unfortunately, Yoself wouldn’t even consider it. “In that case, we’ll proceed with audio only,” Yosef said calmly. He extracted the video file, made a few quick adjustments, and set it to play only the audio. Aimee’s commanding voice resounded clearly in everyone’s ears.
Skylar was still anxious that Yosef might recognize her voice. She cast a nervous glance in his direction, but when she saw no indication of recognition, she finally felt a sense of relief. ‘I must have been overthinking it,‘ Skylar thought. ‘Yosef never paid me any attention–how could he possibly recognize me just by my
voice?‘
Skylar leaned casually against the railing at the back, quietly absorbing the scene. The crowd fell into stunned silence as Aimee’s threatening words echoed through the air. Only the haunting sound of Aimee’s
screams remained.
Aimee exclaimed, “That’s not what happened! That bitch forced me–if it weren’t for her, I would never have done this!” She pleaded, “You all have to believe me! She set me up on purpose!”
The truth was revealed for all to see. As they listened to her desperate pleas, the people present looked on with expressions of complete disgust, as if they had just swallowed something revolting.
Yosef stopped the playback. “Now that the truth is clear to everyone, shouldn’t you apologize to the person you have wronged and offended?”
Admitting their mistakes, they took turns apologizing to Skylar. “Sorry,” they said, with apologies pouring
out one after another.
Skylar didn’t blame them; they had been manipulated and misled. The true instigator was the one who set everything in motion. “Mr and Miss Castillo, after you falsely accused me like this, don’t you have anything
to say?”
At that moment, Juelz realized he could no longer protect Aimee. ‘What does a girl’s reputation matter,
anyway?‘ he thought coldly. However, as the heir to the Castillo family, he could not afford a single misstep. ‘In the end, everyone looks out for themselves,‘ Juelz thought grimly.
Faced with the situation, Juelz chose to distance himself entirely from it. As for Aimee, he reassured himself
that he would make it up to her someday–or at least he claimed he would. “When I arrived and saw my sister crying on the ground, I couldn’t help but fear the worst. I want to apologize once more–I’m genuinely
sorry.
“She behaved this way because she’s still young and lacks experience, though I must confess, our family has certainly indulged her too much I will ensure she receives proper discipline when we return home,” he said sincerely. “Please consider allowing her to make amends.”
“Juelz!” Aimee exclaimed, her voice filled with indignation. “How could you apologize to her? And now

Aimee was on the verge of throwing a tantrum when she encountered Juelz’s cold, piercing gaze. Immediately silenced, she lowered her head as silent tears began to stream down her face.
Skylar said coldly, “Save your apologies; they mean nothing to me. You should keep your sister in line and ensure she doesn’t lash out at people again,” Skylar warned coolly. “Otherwise, she might not be so lucky next time.”
Aimee was on the brink of exploding, but Juelz’s icy glare immediately silenced her. Bitterness welled up in her as she bit her trembling lip, tears str her as she bit her trembling lip, tears streaming down her face in torrents.
Juelz forced a smile. “Absolutely,” he replied blandly. The harsh words directed at Aimee cut deep, but Juelz understood that this was not the right moment to let his emotions take over. They had to endure.
Juelz said, “My sister is still not feeling well. Let me take her to get checked out first, and then we’ll come back later to offer you a formal apology.” With that, Juelz took Aimee and led her away.
After the matter was settled, the crowd dispersed as if nothing had occurred, effortlessly resuming their conversations and mingling. The room quickly returned to its usual vibrant chatter.
With everyone else gone, only Yosef and Skylar remained. Suddenly, Yosef turned to her and asked, “Are you Sue?”
Goosebumps ran across Skylar’s skin, thinking, ‘Why is he asking that? Did he find out something about
me?‘
