I sighed deeply , deciding to face my problems myself . The crowd that had gathered wouldn't stop taking pictures . " So , the Jonathan couples are getting a divorce " I heard one of them say . " Yes , I've always known something was wrong " Another chipped in . " Do you remove when he walked into that gala with his baby mama ? " " I noticed it too " Someone else added .

" " I believe you " Marvin assured , his voice soothing . " Well , no one else does " Larry snarled . " Your sister must apologize to Brandy or she'll have to face the consequences . " I was dumbfounded . Why was he so cold ? Wasn't he taking things to far ? " There's no need for that " Brandy voiced out . " It isn't her fault . She can have the dress . Let's just leave . " " No. She must apologize " Larry insisted . I was heartbroken , wondering if everything we shared was just an illusion . heard Marvin sigh . " I see you want an apology so badly . But I need to be sure you both are not lying . " Larry snapped . " What are you talking about ? " He half yelled , glaring at me . I looked at Marvin who smirked . " Why don't we check the CCTV footage for clarification ? " 4/6 Farely Accused +25 BONUS " Huh ? " Brandy's eyes widened in dismay , her mouth agape . " I don't think we should do this .

I'm so stressed out right now " She complained , her voice weak . So fake . If no one could tell , I could . Larry's gaze softened . A moment passed before he looked at Marvin and I. " You know what ? I'll let Maya go . You can have the dress " He declared , wrapping his arms around Brandy . " She needs to rest . " All I could feel for him was pity . How could he let Brandy make a fool out of him ? I could let him go for old times sake , but I doubt Marvin would want that . I was pretty sure he had been waiting for a chance to step on Larry's toes . " Why are you in a hurry ? " He voiced out , his lips curved into a mischievous smirk . " It won't take long . That's the best we can do to avoid problems in the future ." Brandy teared up , her hands shivering . " He said he would let it go . What else do you want ? I need to have my bed rest . " Marvin chuckled . " Oh , you will after we've seen the truth . I'm sure everyone here wants to know what exactly happened , right ? " Immediately , there was an uproar . " He's right . They can't leave " A woman shouted , her voice firm . " If they do , we'd have no choice but to believe the other lady . " " Yes , show us " Another woman supported . I watched Brandy's face turn pale . She could actually pass out if care was not taken . Not like I cared or something . I just found her reaction amusing . Marvin turned to the female attendance . " Get us the footage . Make sure it's displayed on the huge screen so everyone can see . " " Noted , sir " The lady bowed , and left . Everyone stood in silence , patiently waiting for a response . The only person who seemed out of place was Brandy . She was obviously trying to attract pity from the crowd by feigning weakness . If only she understood the ways of the street . Nobody cared . At that moment , the big screen fixed in the middle of the mall , almost touching the ceiling , lit up . It showed the scene where Brandy fell . It was clear . With that , everyone could finally come to a conclusion of who the culprit was . " She's such a bitch " A young man cursed . " How dare she lie on an innocent woman . " " Golddigger " Another man snarled . " She should be beaten to death . " " She's obviously deceiving the man to curry favors from him " A woman chipped in . " She's so shameless .
