Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Amelia pursed her lips. She was already used to such scenes. When she was in the Miller family, every time her stepmother was injured or crying, her father would come over and question her. Every time she explained, her father would slap her. Gradually, Amelia got used to it. She was used to the way others looked at her, or the doubt or disgust… Perhaps it was because of this experience that she was surprised even when others had the slightest bit of trust in her. Grandpa and Eldest Uncle clearly didn’t see anything, but they didn’t suspect her or question her like the others. Thinking of this, Amelia’s cold heart gradually warmed. “Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, I was cutting the cake just now. Then, Sister Emma ran over and grabbed my dress, saying that it was hers. She even slapped me. Then, I was angry and retaliated.”
Amelia tried her best to reconstruct the scene. M/hen Old Master Walton and George heard Amelia’s words, they immediately knew that their guess was right. It was Emma who attacked first again.
However, Sarah could not take it anymore. She looked at Amelia unhappily. “You mean Emma hit you first? Emma is indeed a little pampered, but she doesn’t hit people.”
Old Master Walton said angrily, “You’re not aware whether your own daughter hit someone?
Sarah’s eyes widened. “Dad, what do I know? What should I know? I only know that after Amelia came, none of you looked at Emma! Emma wasn’t like this originally. It was you adults who forced Emma into this state. What did Emma do wrong?!
Everyone was in an uproar. If it was only their guess before, Sarah’s words now confirmed that Amelia was a bad child. The Walton family had been torn apart by this child.
Dylan’s face flushed red. He was not good with words. Even though he was furious, he could only scold her with two words. “Shut up!” He went up to grab Sarah’s hand. “Follow me!”
Sarah broke free from his grip. “I don’t want to.” Emma, who was squatting on the ground, rolled on the ground when she saw her parents quarreling. Her cries were about to pierce through one’s eardrums.
At this moment, George said coldly, “Uncle Smith, go and get the surveillance footage in the courtyard.”
Sarah was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. They still wanted to check the surveillance cameras? I)id these people have to force Emma to her death? Sarah’s tears instantly fell. “You don’t have to investigate. Emma and I will leave, alright?” After saying that, she picked Emma up, but Emma refused. Hence, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Emma cried loudly, and Sarah wiped her tears aggrievedly. She looked like she had been bullied very badly…
Everyone looked at Sarah and Emma sympathetically. They felt that they were so pitiful. Emma’s grandmother was still persuading them from the side. “Aiyo, everyone, calm down. Isn’t it normal for children to fight and play around? Don’t ruin the harmony over a small matter.” She tried to persuade them with a smile, as if she forgot who had been sowing discord behind their backs.
George ignored her. The butler, Uncle Smith, quickly took out the USB flash drive. ‘Eldest Master, the surveillance footage has been pulled out. Do you want to take a look?”
George raised his chin and said, “Take out the screen and project the surveillance footage.”
Sarah was stunned and could not help but say, ‘You… Why do you have to be so ruthless!”
George sneered. “Didn’t you say that Emma won’t hit people? Since Emma is innocent, what are you afraid of?”
Sarah:
The curtain was quickly set up, and what had happened in the small garden just now was released without any concealment. In the surveillance footage, Amelia was dividing the cake. Lucas turned his head and refused. Amelia looked at the air beside her and said something. Evelyn suddenly looked at
Lucas with an aggrieved expression. Immediately after, the children criticized Amelia. Amelia was at first confused, but soon her small face was filled with stubbornness. Just as the children were arguing, Emma suddenly rushed out and pulled Amelia’s dress without saying a word. Amelia was still holding the cake in her hand when Emma pushed her back a step. The cake also landed on her dress. Then, Emma slapped Amelia’s face again. Amelia was angry and slapped her back. Emma lay on the ground and cried.
The surveillance camera was located quite far away and they could not hear what the children were saying, but it was obvious that Amelia had not done anything from the beginning to the end. Everyone looked at Evelyn in shock. At first, they heard from Evelyn that Amelia had told her to get lost for no reason, so they had a bad impression of Amelia. Then, Evelyn said that after Emma arrived, Amelia hit Emma without a word, deepening their bad impression of Amelia. But now, it seemed that the situation was completely different..
