Chapter 10 I Didn’t Push Her
It wasn’t long before the sound of a cry for help drew a group of people from the front room.
After Edith was rescued, as expected, the first thing she did was to cry and question Lexie, “Sister, why did you push me!”
Lexie looked at the condemning eyes of the people around her, and frowned slightly, under the eyes of so many people, but what should be explained still had to be explained.
She shook her head as she explained in sign language, [I didn’t push her.]
Edith, the only one who could read sign language, laughed in her heart as she said aloud in mock shock, “You said you hate me? Sister … why do you hate me … we are sisters … how can you be cruel?”
Lexie’s expression faded.
Edith deliberately twisted her explanation, and the subtle faces of the people around her showed that others clearly believed her lie.
With Edith deliberately spreading the word, the entire the Howard family knew that Alan liked Edith, and it was in turn Lexie married into the family.
So people are antipathetic to Lexie, sympathetic to Edith, and delighted by her sweet-talking ways.
“I think she’s just jealous of Miss Edith, that’s why she’s doing this.”
“What a cruel heart, even do that to her own sister.”
“So pity on the surface, so bad on the heart.”
The murmurs around her made Edith’s heart smug, but on the surface she looked at Diana with a face full of aggression, “Mrs. Stewart, it’s not what you think, my sister didn’t do it on purpose!”
Diana’s sight was like a knife as she sternly scolded Lexie, “There’s no need for a malicious woman with a wrong heart like you to continue to stay in the Howard family!”
Edith added, “Mrs. Stewart, please let my sister go, I understand her, if I hadn’t suddenly come to the Howard family, my sister wouldn’t have been stimulated to treat me like this.”
Lexie looked even lighter after hearing all of them.
How could she not understand Edith’s purpose?
It was nothing more than wanting to force her away from the Howard family, and it just so happened that Diana was also of the same mind, so the two of them used each other to get what they wanted.
But how could she take the blame?
She took out pen and paper she carried in her bag and wrote: [I demand to see the surveillance and clear my name].
Edith wasn’t nervous at all, even emboldened: “Sister, I really don’t blame you, just admit it, even if the surveillance is found out, you’ll be more embarrassed.”
Marry said at this point, “Mrs. Howard, the camera is out of order.”
Diana glanced at Marry and nodded, speaking with her eyes open, “That’s right, it’s been broken for a few days, and the maintenance crew will only come to fix it tomorrow.”
Lexie sneered.
It was clearly a lie, but these women were scheming. Even they knew the truth, they deliberately ignore the truth.
Surveillance was probably turned off early by these people long ago, which is why they were emboldened.
It wasn’t that Edith had set her up successfully, but that everyone here had never accepted her at all, and for them, right or wrong didn’t matter.
What matters is that only Edith is worthy of Alan.
And she the mute.
Not worthy!
She thought it was just Edith’s frame-up alone, but she didn’t expect the entire the Howard family to join forces with Edith to target her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Was this perhaps premeditated?
Lexie was right in thinking, and sure enough, Diana said at this moment: “You did such a wrong thing, no amount of explanation will help, you must apologize to Edith!”
The hand at Lexie’s side clenched involuntarily.
Once she apologized, it was an admission in disguise.
She was now like a wicked woman who had been blamed by all, and suffered the sneering and contemptuous looks of the people.
Lexie took a deep breath, looked at the crowd without saying anything, and wrote out her attitude.
[I didn’t do it, why should I apologize?]
