Chapter 36 The Truth

As for Jonah, he wasn’t fazed by Jack’s words at all. Instead, he looked at Elise and asked, “Ellie, what happened?”

She pouted her lips aggrievedly and explained everything to him. “I didn’t push her. She jumped into the pond by herself.”

Seeing her making an excuse, Jack was immediately enraged. “Elise, I really don’t know you anymore. How could you not admit to your own doing?”

“What did I do wrong? Did you see me push her into the pond with your very own eyes?” Elise countered.

Her words instantly startled him.

Jack was standing some distance away from them just now, so he didn’t hear their conversation. However, he could see them pushing each other in the end, which resulted in Ashlyn falling into the pond. After that, Ashlyn blamed Elise for pushing her, so he automatically assumed that she was telling the truth.

Seeing that Jack was rendered speechless, Jonah turned toward Ashlyn.

The Lawson Family was also considered as old friends of the Griffith Family, and Jonah had watched Ashlyn grow up ever since she was a child, so he asked her, “Ashlyn, can you tell me what happened?”

The moment his words came out, Ashlyn began to shed some tears, which eventually dripped on the ground. If any ordinary person saw her expression, they would definitely feel sorry for her, but Jonah was an experienced man who had seen and met all kinds of people in his life, so he was able to see through her act.

However, to preserve the reputation of the Lawson Family, he asked again, “You can tell me anything. I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you.”

Listening to his words, she burst into tears.
