Chapter 760:
Just then, Yelena interjected, “Indeed, you fell by yourself. Lena had nothing to do with it p>
Monica turned to Yelena, baffled. “Yelena, what do you mean? I don’t understand p>
As she spoke, Monica’s eyes welled up with tears. “Do you think I’m faking this? I’m injured and suffering. Why would I stage something like this p>
Yelena, raising an eyebrow, replied coolly, “That’s something you might want to reflect on p>
Yelena then tossed the toy mouse back to Lena, who seemed overjoyed to retrieve it, quickly scampering off to its cat bed with the toy.
Upon watching Lena’s eager action, Monica’s expression shifted subtly. Yelena continued, “I think it’s clear to everyone. Lena adores this toy mouse. She immediately hid it in her bed. Do you really think she would leave such a prized possession lying around, especially in a room belonging to someone she dislikes? Isn’t that unlikely p>
Trying to maintain her composure, Monica replied, “Well, I’m not sure how it happened p>
Yelena scoffed and remarked, “Lena looks so anxious, as if she’s about to start speaking and defending herself p>
“That’s not it. I honestly don’t know what happened,” Monica replied, her eyes reddening as if she had been wronged.
Yelena nodded, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Alright, alright. You’re right, of course. Everything you said is right p>
Her words were polite, but her disbelief was apparent to everyone.

Monica’s gaze flickered anxiously. She realized she had truly misjudged the situation this time. Yelena had seen right through her ploy and turned the tables on her.
Feigning sorrow, Monica choked up, “It’s my fault. I should have verified the facts before speaking p>
Maggie wanted to offer some comfort to Monica, but the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps Yelena’s skepticism had influenced her; Maggie now harbored doubts about Monica’s story.
Determined, Monica bit her lip and declared, “If my presence here upsets anyone, I’ll leave right now p>
She seemed resolute about leaving but strategically revealed her bleeding thigh to Maggie.
Upon seeing this, Maggie’s anxiety spiked. She had assured Monica’s parents she would look after their daughter, and now she feared the Mitchell family would blame her for any negligence.
“Monica, please don’t go. I promised your parents I’d look after you,” Maggie pleaded hurriedly.
“Mrs. Barton, I’ve imposed on you long enough. I’m nearly healed. Please don’t worry about me. I have no regrets saving you, and I assure you I’ve acted without any ulterior motives,” Monica assured her, hinting at her readiness to depart.
Maggie grew even more anxious. “Oh dear, please stay. Don’t overthink this p>
Monica remained silent, turning to gauge Austin’s reaction, who had been mostly quiet. She sought his opinion on the matter.
Austin reassured her, “We will honor our promise to you. The doctor will arrive shortly to attend to your wound. I’ll ensure he’s thorough to prevent any scarring p>
