Chapter 1029

The room suddenly went silent.

All Diana could see before her was the video that was playing.

The video was very clear, playing back the scenes of Simon’s accident that day. She saw herself push Simon.

Instead of dodging her, Simon kept moving back in the direction she pushed him in.

Just then, a car drove past him.

Bam!

The bloody scene resurfaced once more.

Diana subconsciously tightened her grip on Julian’s hand.

“Don’t fear,” he comforted her tenderly. “Watch closely.”

His voice had the mysterious power of calming her heart down in an instant.

There must be a reason why he was showing her this video. Diana focused her attention back on the video as it replayed.

“Wait!” At the 3:20 mark of the video, Julian suddenly said, ” Play it at 0.5 speed.”

That would slow the video down, and give everyone a clearer look.

“How…how could this be…”

Diana’s eyes widened as her face turned pale.

“How could it be…”

Simon…

The car would have simply brushed past Simon. He clearly had ample chance to dodge the car and not get hit so badly. Yet, she saw Simon quicken his pace and ram straight into the car.

Between man and machine, it was a forgone conclusion which was the stronger one.

Simon…

He was bound to be hit badly.

Thankfully, the car was driving around a bend and wasn’t running at a very high speed.

That was how Simon survived.

However, his legs were crippled as a result of the accident. From then on, he had become a disabled person.

Watching the video that lasted just a few minutes, Diana’s heart leapt to her throat.

She saw it clearly now.

Simon’s disability…

Wasn’t related to her. The only point of relation was that he went to Winding Highway to look for her.

It wasn’t her so-called fatal shove.

In other words, he was fully responsible for his disability.

Diana turned to look at Simon, who had turned paler than she had.

Simon looked away, trying to avoid her gaze. He clenched his fists, wishing he could charge toward Julian and punch the latter’s nose.

He yelled angrily, “Julian Fulcher! You must have done something to the video!

‘This video is edited!

“Otherwise, why don’t I see the police at the door right now?

“The courts have passed the verdict that the driver is fully responsible!

“He was the one who hit me!

“You’re slandering me! You found someone to edit the video!”

“We’ll find out for sure whether I got someone to edit the video or not after the police are here to collect and verify the evidence,” Julian retorted.

He only presented the evidence today because he was fully prepared. He wasn’t going to give Simon any chance of rebuttal and retaliation!

Simon’s lips trembled. His sullen face looked helpless.

He looked pleadingly at Diana, his face ashen, and begged,” Diana, do you believe that? Do you believe that someone is foolish enough to put his own life at risk and let a car hit him? Losing my legs instead of my life should be counted as a blessing!”

Whatever it was, Simon refused to admit that he was the one who caused the accident.

“Julian is so powerful and everyone listens to him, not to mention the police!

“What’s the point of their verification? They’re all probably doing his bidding!

“It’s as easy as pie for him to slander me!”
