When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 682 A New Partner

“Everyone, please calm down,” Jonathan said, cutting through the noise. “Look at how he fell. Compare it to the first time he fell.”

His words quieted the crowd.

They were puzzled. What difference could there be?

Miranda scolded him, “You little rascal! You pushed my son and now you’re mocking him? I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

“Don’t you dare!” Cecilia snapped. Hearing Jonathan’s words, she instantly understood the reason he pushed Felix.

Miranda, meeting Cecilia’s gaze, dared not make any rash moves.

The others, who couldn’t discern any difference, asked, “Is there anything different?”

A young girl pointed out the discrepancy, “Mom, Dad, look,” she said. “Felix fell face down the first time, but now he’s on his back.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone noticed the difference. After his first fall, Felix’s front was covered in mud, but now his back was smeared with it.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

But what’s the point?

Someone chuckled. “Jon’s so mischievous. He made Felix fall face down the first time and land on his back the second time.”

Jonathan felt that he had overestimated some of his relatives‘ intelligence..

He explained, “Everyone, you all saw Felix fall, didn’t you? He was walking toward my brother and me. We were facing each other. If I had pushed him, he should have fallen backward, with his back to the ground, like now. He shouldn’t be lying face down on the ground. The only explanation is that he slipped and fell himself. To provide a clearer picture, I conducted an experiment for you all.”

After saying that, Jonathan approached Felix. “I didn’t push you the first time, so there’s no need for me to apologize. Also, I apologized before I pushed you the second time. Now, we’re even.”

This explanation impressed all the adults.

All they could think of was to check the surveillance footage if there was any, failing to realize

ch a simple, obvious fact

Elliot let out a yawn, relieved. Just moments ago, he had been wondering why Jonathan gave and apologized.

However, Miranda refused to let this go. “Who experiments on others‘ safety? What if my son got seriously hurt?”

Elena, having the upper hand, wouldn’t allow her to have her way. “Miranda, stop being shameless. Your son started this by falsely accusing my two grandsons, and I haven’t made you pay for that. How dare you insist on putting my grandsons on the spot?”

The moment Elena spoke, Miranda dared not utter another word. She looked at Niel, hoping het could step in and say something on her behalf.

Surprisingly, Niel stopped defending Felix after knowing the truth. “Felix, a good boy shouldn’t lie. You should apologize to Jon and Eli.”

Felix, who fell down and got scolded, began crying miserably.

Niel frowned. “All you do is cry. Are you even a man? Adrian, bring them away.”

Adrian swiftly stepped in, helping his wife and child to their feet. “Come on, get up. Haven’t you embarrassed yourselves enough?”

Cassandra stood next to Nicholas in the crowd, watching the drama unfold with a sense of disappointment.

Miranda might seem impressive, but she’s actually useless. She failed to take Cecilia’s kids down a peg and even made her son so miserable. Looks like I’ll have to consider finding a new partner to join forces on.

After visiting the ancestors‘ graves, all the relatives went their separate ways.

Niel insisted that Cecilia and her family stay for dinner before returning home.

He wanted to test Jonathan to see just how intelligent the boy really was.
