Chapter 605: Chapter 548: Trash


    rk Manor is so big, there were servants everywhere.


    Seeing Charles Amos about to fall, all the nearby servants who happened to catch sight of this immediately ran towards him.


    But when more than half of Charles’s body had already fallen over the railing, Aunt Cruz, faster than all the servants, managed to pull him back in time.


    Because she was pulling Charles, Aunt Cruz identally pushed Morgan Mia.


    “Charles, where did you hit?” Without bothering about anything else, Aunt Cruz wanted to check on his condition first.


    But just as she bent down, she was pped on her left cheek.


    “What do you think you are! How dare you push me!” Morgan Mia yelled angrily.


    Her p was very forceful, Aunt Cruz’s cheek immediately swollen, and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth.


    “Grandma Cruz.” Charles angrily pushed Morgan Mia and red at her, “And what exactly are you!”


    “You…” Before Morgan Mia could finish her sentence, she heard hurried footsteps approaching.


    She turned around and was greeted with a p on her face.<div>


    A sharp p that sliced through the air.


    L Campbell’s p too, was very forceful, causing Morgan Mia to stagger.


    “L.” Worried L might harm the baby, Aunt Cruz immediately went over to hold her. L patted Aunt Cruz’s hand to reassure her, then let go.


    Morgan Mia was stunned by the p. She held her face, and after a moment, looked at L Campbell, “You dare to hit me!”


    L Campbell stepped forward and gave her another p from the other side.


    This p was even harsher.


    Taken by surprise, Morgan Mia staggered again. As she regained her bnce, she was about to fight back.


    Alfie Ward caught the hand she raised.


    As she raised her other hand, L Campbell, faster than Alfie, grabbed her wrist and forcefully yanked her to the side.


    “Sister-inw.”


    “L.”


    The force L Campbell used was so strong that Alfie, Aunt Cruz and Charles all were startled, fearing for her safety.


    L Campbell dragged Morgan Mia directly to the railing by the river, and before she could resist, she forcefully pushed her into the river.


    With a loud ssh, Morgan Mia began to struggle in the water.


    Although it’s April and the river has already thawed, the water was still chilly during the dozen degrees weather.


    The river wasn’t deep, but Morgan Mia couldn’t get up from struggling and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water.


    L Campbell watched her coldly.


    The servants nearby were all scared.


    Resurfacing, Morgan Mia shouted, “L Campbell, you are insane!”<div>


    No sooner had she finished speaking, she fell back into the water, swallowing more water.


    “It was you who pushed me first,” Charles said coldly, “This is called reaping what you sow. You deserved it.”


    The coat Morgan Mia was wearing got soaked and increasingly heavy, and she continued to struggle in the river. The icy water was numbing, and her struggle subsided somewhat.


    “Madam… Should we pull her out… It could be life-threatening…” a servant whispered.<div>


    L Campbell didn’t respond, she just stood on the shore, watching her.


    The look in her eyes, it was as if she was looking at a corpse.


    “L Campbell!” Morgan Mia shouted at her again.


    Again, a servant spoke up, “Madam, should I call for help?”


    Alfie was standing next to her, feeling the intensity of her aura.


    From these few days of interaction, he had initially thought that Third Master’s wife was a seemingly cold but soft-hearted person.


    Now, it seemed she could also be ruthlessly terrifying.


    “L, just let it go.” Aunt Cruz said, “If something really happens, it won’t be easy to exin to Boss Wayne.”


    L Campbell nced at Aunt Cruz’s swollen face, but didn’t say a word.


    “L Campbell! You are treating me like this…Granny Wayne… will not let you off…” Morgan Mia’s voice trailed off.


    Someone ran to the front yard to inform others.


    “L,” called Aunt Cruz with concern when she saw someone had gone to the front yard.


    Charlotte Lane still didn’t loosen her grip.<div>


    It wasn’t until Morgan Mia had no strength to struggle and closed her eyes and sank, that Charlotte spoke after a while, “Worthless.”


    She finished speaking and nced at Alfie Ward.


    Alfie Ward ordered someone to go in, and the person was pulled out.


    The person was dragged onto the shore and immediately woke up and spat several mouthfuls of water.


    Then someone pressed her a few times to make her vomit some of the water she had swallowed.


    The river was not deep; Morgan Mia was trying to fool Tom Wayne by pretending to be pathetic.


    So, Charlotte Lane indulged her, letting her choke on a few more mouthfuls of water.


    Morgan Miay on the ground, her body icy cold, shaking uncontrobly. Her face was deathly pale, and her skin was either frozen by the river water or turning purple because of the poor venttion.


    Every breath she took seemed to cause a sharp pain in her chest.


    For a moment, she felt as if she really had almost choked to death in there.


    She was too exhausted to continue the pretense, but she kept still, risking her life.


    Charlotte Lane didn’t look at her again; she walked away, holding onto Aunt Cruz’ hand. Aunt Cruz brought Charles Amos with him.


    Alfie Ward followed closely behind.<div>


    After walking a distance, Aunt Cruz nervously said, “L, are you okay? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?”


    “I’m fine,” Charlotte Lane turned her head and looked at Aunt Cruz’s swollen face, “I’m sorry you had to go through all that, and that you had to suffer such an insult today.”


    “All that is nothing,” Aunt Cruz said, “You should worry about your own health, do not get angry over this. Nothing is more important than your health.”


    Charlotte Lane nodded, then turned to Charles Amos, “Did you hurt yourself anywhere?”


    “I bumped my ribs a bit,” Charles said, “But I should be fine. She pushed me. And I was never going to hit her in the first ce, but she suddenly came after me.”


    “I saw it,” responded Charlotte Lane.


    Charles Amos was silent for a moment, then took a few steps with them before he suddenly ran off.


    “Charles!” Aunt Cruz shouted.


    Charles didn’t reply, he just kept running.


    Charlotte Lane stopped, watching Charles, then said after a moment, “Leave him be.”


    “But I’m worried he’s hurt,” said Aunt Cruz.


    “He’ll be alright,” Charlotte Lane assured her, “If he gets hurt, he knows where to find someone to apply medicine.”


    Charlotte Lane returned to apply some medicine, leading Aunt Cruz.<div>


    Meanwhile, Charles had returned to the riverbank.


    When he got there, Morgan Mia was already helped up, preparing to return home.


    Her clothes were soaking wet, and she was shivering from the cold.


    Upon seeing her, Charles timed his actions perfectly, managed to separate her from the people helping her, and pushed her back into the water.


    Morgan Mia was quick to react, even in her shivering state she instinctively tried to pull Charles down with her.


    But this time, Charles evaded in time.


    Morgan Mia grabbed hold of a railing on the edge of the river, but Charles had a needle in his hand that stabbed her palm.


    Morgan Mia’s reaction, after choking on water, was a little slow.


    The pain forced her to loosen her grip and she fell back into the water.


    Ssh.


    “Charles!” Harton rk, who was apanying Tom Wayne and Elina rk, came over and just happened to see Charles pushing her.


    A servant once again went in to save Morgan.


    Knowing that someone wasing, Morgan Mia yed possum, sinking again and choking on a few mouthfuls of water.


    Charles watched her with cold eyes, flinging out the words, “Quit the charade.”


    Then he stood by the riverside, waiting for Harton rk and the others to arrive.
