Elsie was initially shocked. Right after that, she felt angry, her face showing a mixture of paleness and fear,
Upon noticing that Levi and Liann’s expressions had softened at this moment, she felt like she was about to have a heart attack.
“Do, do you know what you’re talking about?” she asked.
Emma repeated with a sneer, “You are a mistress. Brad is a bastard. You people are just like Nora and Aria. You <b>are </b>all people with low character who are disgusting and will be despised by everyone for the rest of your livesi”
Elsie’s eyes were already filled with a sense of menace at this moment. “You ignorant and insignificant youngster,” she said. “Do you believe that I can get rid of you right away?”
In a ce with no one around, Elsie lost herposure and revealed her <b>true </b>colors.
Emma smirked. Her red lips at midnight were charming. “Get rid of me?” she said. “Do it then. Let’s see how capable you and Brad are. Let’s see who will get rid of whom!”
The moment their eyes met, Elsie clearly saw the ruthlessness in her captivating <b>eyes</b>.
That powerful aura of devouring made her heart suddenly skip a beat.
She thought, “How could a young ordinary girl have such a terrifying gaze?”
Just as Elsie became suspicious, the sound of a wheelchair being dragged could be heard in the quiet garden.
Liam approached with a cold expression.
Elsie trembled with anger. “Just you wait,” she said. “I won’t let <b>you </b>off the hook! Sooner orter, you’ll regret it, bitchi”
Elsie’s fear of Liam was deeply ingrained.
Thanks to him, her past days with Brad were filled with misery.
She had always wanted to kill Liam. That ne crash only crippled his legs, making her grit her teeth in hatred.
She wanted to test if Liam’s legs were truly crippled or if he was faking it.
When no one was paying attention, Elsie picked up a sharp object and pretended to be careless, wanting to move toward Liam’s legs to stab
him.
But Emma was sharp–eyed and agile. She noticed Elsie’s odd behavior and reflexively kicked her hard
Caught off guard, Elsie immediately fell into the man–madeke behind the gazebo with a ssh.
“Help me,” she said. “Help. Help mel Help”
Elsie couldn’t swim and desperately cried for help.
Soon, the bodyguard of the Hall family’s vi rushed over immediately and pulled out <b>the </b>soaked Elsie.
The others at the party heard themotion and rushed over <b>as </b><b>well</b>, including the grim–faced Brad <b>as </b>well as Simon.
Brad’s tone was terrifying as he asked, “What’s going on?”

“It’s her!” Elsie <b>said</b>.
At this point, her gown and hair were soaked. She pointed at Emma and said, “She kicked me into thekel The surveince footage and the people around can testify to it!”
Elsie had been doted on by Simon all these years, while Brad was the tacitly acknowledged heir of the Hall family.
The mother and son wielded a lot of influence. Soon, they gained the support of the guests.
“Emma actuallyid <b>a </b>hand on her. Couldn’t she just talk things out?”
“She really is a wild girl from the countryside. When I saw her painting just now, I thought she was different from what I expected. I almost misjudged her.”
“Bah!” Simon also looked displeased.
The favorable impression he had of her earlier was gone. He did not expect that Emma would be unable to grasp the broader implications of her actions.
“Emma, were you the one who kicked her into theke?” he asked.
“Yes,” Emma <b>said</b><b>.</b>
She admitted calmly before adding, “But…”
She deliberately paused and took out the “evidence” that she had quickly grabbed before kicking Elsie into theke.
“If I hadn’t kicked her, this needle, which was over four inches long, would have pierced Liam’s legs,” she said. “I don’t have the ability to see through things, so I couldn’t be sure if there’s any deadly virus or poison on it. In a moment <b>of </b>desperation, I had no choice but to kick her into the <bke</b><b>.</b>”
Emma spoke confidently, thinking that her action of kicking Elsie into theke was well–justified. She then coldly asked Elsie a question. “Elsie, why don’t you exin why you would use this kind of thing to deal with Liam on an asion like today’s?” she said.
“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Elsie said. “This needle isn’t mine at all!”
Emma saw it just now. To create a false appearance and <b>mislead </b><b>others </b>about her actions, Elsie did not wear gloves.
“Whether or not it’s yours, won’t we know after doing a fingerprint test?” Emma said. “The Hall family is huge. It shouldn’t be difficult to get a fingerprint test done, right? It’s just right to test if your fingerprints are on it in front of so many people lest others say I falsely use you.”
Elsie initially thought that the needle should be with her, and once it fell into theke, fingerprints wouldn’t be detectable.
Unexpectedly, Emma acted so quickly and grabbed the needle. Elsio was entirely at the mercy of the situation and had <b>no </b>control over it.
She panicked. “You framed me,” she said. “You deliberately <b>framed </b>me…”
“Enough!” Simon said as he looked at Elsie with a cold expression.
Given his status, he could of course tell what Elsie was thinking at a nce.
‘Instead of going to the hall to interact with the guests of the birthday party, you came to the edge of theke,” he <b>said</b>. “No wonder you identally fell into theke. Let’s dispersel
Elsie’s expression was very grim.

On the surface, Simon was giving everyone a way out, but his attitude was quite clear.
Everyone knew that it was Emma who kicked Elsie into theke. Instead of ming Emma, Simon reproached Elsie foring to the edge of
theke.
It was clear whom Simon was siding with now.
The gaze that Brad and Elsie directed at Emma at the moment was already filled with menace.
Emma was calm andposed. She held the needle and disdainfully tossed it into the trash can at the side.
“Tsk, if it weren’t for my quick reaction just now, Liam’s legs might have been pierced,” Emma said. “His legs have mobility issues in the first ce. If his legs get pierced again, he may never be able to stand up again. What would we do then? One of you is Liam’s stepmother, and the other is his younger brother. You can’t really hope that Liam will never be able to stand up for the rest of his life, right?”
Emma’s remark killed three birds with one stone.
Firstly, it hinted that Elsie and Brad had ulterior motives<b>.</b>
Secondly, it dispelled Brad and Elsie’s suspicion that Liam’s legs were not crippled.
Thirdly, it warned the other guests not to go too far.
Otherwise, if Liam were to make aeback one day, they would be the first to suffer.
After Emma finished talking, she pushed Liam away and left pompously,
Beneath Liam’s calm and serene expression, his feelings toward Emma were intense
He thought, ‘My Emma… She always stands by my side in the most crucial moments! With her by my side in those dark moments, it’s like having light. She is my redemption.”
After Emma left, Simon looked at their backs with aplex expression.
Elsie and Brad tactfully stood on the side, with only the butler standing beside Simon.
“Mr. Simon… what do you think of Miss Emma?” the butler asked.
This was the first time they met.
On the surface, it was a birthday party, but it was actually a test for Emma.
“She’s really something.” Simon said.
With
one remark, it <b>was </b>hard to tell if he was pleased or angry. He returned to his room right away.
When Emma returned to loovine Estate, she sapy Liam’s hand. The blood had dried up, leaving dark red marks.
She frowned as she asked, “How were you injured?”
Levi said, “When Elsie said those things to <b>you</b>, Mr. Hall.”
“Levi, shut up,” Liam said.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

He then nonchntly looked at Emma and <b>said</b>, “It’s nothing. I’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
“No,” Emma said. “I’ll get the first aid kit and bandage it for you.”
With that said, she walked away hurriedly.
Looking at her back, Liam felt aplex array of emotions.

He thought, “It turns out that there is someone who truly trusts me unconditionally, who will frown at a small injury of mine, who regards me <b>as </b>a treasure, and loves me as if I were her life.
Emma returned with the first aid kit.
Just as she squatted down and was about to bandage Liam, he suddenly pulled her into his arms with a burst of strength.
