Chapter 632:
Brendon swallowed his irritation, knowing that picking a fight with Dylan would only make things worse. He shifted his attention. “Katie, let’s get her to the hospital,” he said, scooping Yolanda up to walk away.
“Fine by me. I’ll upload this video for the netizens to see now,” Dylan said, barely glancing their way.
Brendon pulled a long face. “Go ahead.”
He refused to believe Yolanda would fake a fall just to frame Christina. To him, Yolanda was pure-hearted, nothing like other women he had known. Dylan was just being protective, claiming to have a video to defend Christina.
“Once this video’s live, your families will both be ruined,” Dylan said as he started fiddling with his phone.
Yolanda, who had counted on her fake fainting to get her out of trouble, snapped her eyes open in alarm as soon as she heard Dylan’s threat. Rage boiled beneath her fear. She wanted nothing more than to wipe that smug look off Dylan’s face.
All the while, envy gnawed at Yolanda. What made Christina so special that Dylan would step in for her? If only she were the Scott family’s caretaker, maybe she would have Dylan’s protection too.
“Yolanda, you’re awake! I thought you’d fainted because of another episode this time,” Katie blurted out in relief, her voice laced with worry. “Are you feeling okay?”
But Yolanda barely paid attention to Katie’s concern, her gaze locked tearfully on Dylan. Her voice trembled as she called out, “Mr. Scott, wait, please.”
When Dylan stopped and looked her way, Yolanda let out a silent sigh, gathering herself. She mustered her best wounded look. “You say you have proof I faked my fall. Why not show everyone right now?”
Deep down, Yolanda was desperate to know if Dylan was bluffing. She needed to see if he really had anything on her. If Dylan refused, then she could relax, certain he was playing mind games just to make her confess.
Dylan’s tone was cold as ice. “Fine. You’ll see it, but I’m only sending one copy.”
Katie wasted no time pulling out her phone. “Send it to me,” she insisted, full of confidence. “There’s no way Yolanda would ever pull off a stunt just to frame Christina—she’s too good-hearted for that.”

Katie and Dylan connected through Bluetooth, after which Dylan sent the video over.
In a matter of seconds, Katie received the file. Everyone from the Dawson family crowded around, their eyes narrowing with suspicion as they focused on Katie’s phone screen.
A clear view from the recording made both Christina’s and Yolanda’s movements easy to see. At first, Katie had doubted the video could prove anything, but she soon realized she was wrong.
The replay left no room for doubt—Yolanda was the one who threw herself back dramatically, while Christina simply pulled her own hand away. No amount of pulling like that could have made Yolanda fall. Christina’s hand only moved inward, back toward her body. There was no sign of a push, and Yolanda’s tumble was irrelevant to her.
“If this video isn’t enough, I’m sure the security cameras around here can show an even clearer view,” Dylan remarked, his words slicing through the tension.
Yolanda’s complexion turned as pale as paper. She realized she had gone too far, and anyone could see that she had faked the fall.
