He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 424: The Surveillance Footage

Selena grabbed Ivy's arm. "Ivy, this really has nothing to do with her. It's all my fault."

She cried as she spoke, looking anything but fine. It seemed as if she'd been threatened, her misery plain for everyone to see.

Who could stand seeing someone get bullied on their own turf, right under their noses?

Sherry acted as if she didn't notice the hostile looks around her. "Did you hear that? It has nothing to do with me. She said it herself."

"Sherry! You know she's too kind to speak up! No one just falls off a building for no reason! I know for a fact you pushed her!"

Ivy had known Selena for years and could see the hidden hurt in her friend's eyes.

And Selena's silence only confirmed Ivy's words.

Sherry had no patience for this drama. She'd been through this kind of nonsense countless times. She was tired of it.

She pulled out her phone and called the police.

"Hello, I'd like to report a false accusation—"

"Don't!" Selena panicked. Unable to move, she squeezed Ivy's hand. "Ms. Campbell, I already said you didn't do this. Why are you wasting police time?"

The audacity of her to turn it around like that was ridiculous.

"You said that, but your friends won't stop accusing me. If we involve the police, we can get to the truth."

Everyone except Ivy stood silently, their stares heavy enough to make Sherry's back tense.

Silent people were the most dangerous. They'd strike later when she least expected it.

If she didn't clear things up now, evidence would disappear, and she'd never be able to defend herself.

"This has nothing to do with them. They just don't want to see me hurt! I'm seriously injured, and you call the police over a few words? Our group doesn't welcome people this dramatic."

She spoke with such confidence, as if Sherry was in the wrong.

Did she really think Sherry would back down?

Not a chance. She wasn't letting this lie stick to her.

She wouldn't back down for anyone—not even Lucas.

"If you're so sure, say it to the police. Let's see if they buy your 'dramatic' excuse."

This unexpected move made the people who'd looked down on her regard her with new respect.

She actually dared to call the police on their turf.

This was Keiperian, not their territory.

So either she was dumb as a brick and had no clue how things worked in Keiperian, or she was truly innocent and unafraid.

To everyone's shock, the police arrived.

They brought evidence with them—the surveillance recording from the rooftop.

"I knew you'd claim I tampered with it. So I had them bring it directly, untouched by me.

"Why don't we all watch and find out who's telling the truth?"

Selena pressed her lips together, dropping the polite "Ms. Campbell."

"Sherry, are you really sure about this?"

Her tone was ambiguous now. She no longer seemed as scared.

After all, even if the footage proved Sherry was framed, what could anyone really do?

No one would punish Selena harshly. At most, she'd lose a little face.

These people had been friends for years. A little embarrassment wouldn't change that.

Still, there was something a little loaded in what she said.

But then the video played.

It showed their entire conversation.

Sherry left with her coffee and went back to her room, staying there until Lucas returned.

Then came the shock.

The footage showed Sherry coming back to the rooftop.

She reached out and shoved Selena hard.

With her back to Sherry, Selena had no guard up at all and fell straight down.

A deathly silence fell over the room.

"You're the one who called the police," Ivy said, now completely confident.

"Yes," Sherry replied.

"And you're the one who insisted on showing the footage, right?"

"Yes."

"Now the video clearly shows you pushed her. Tell me—did you do it? Or are you going to claim that the person in the video, the one who looks exactly like you, isn't you?"

Ivy stared at her, daring her to explain her way out.
