“Vanessa…” Rosy felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. Vanessa had fabricated the story, and she had carried it too far. There was a red mark on Rosy’s leg, but it had nothing to do with Elena.
“Rosy, I know that you are kind and prefer not to reprimand others, but has this ugly duckling been kind to you at all?”
Even though Vanessa had made up most of the things she said, there was no one to defend Elena. Could she defend herself? More importantly, they were a part of the Mu family while she was an outsider.
“Big Brother…”
“Have you got what you needed?” Michael’s gaze fell upon the handbag in Elena’s hand.
Why did that sound so weird? Why had the situation turned around so abruptly? Vanessa was dumbfounded. The alarm bells rang in Rosy’s head, and she grew uneasy. She walked toward them with labored breathing. “Big Brother, she’s… ”
“You called him Big Brother, that means you are also a Young Miss Williams?”
Elena acted like she just met her. She held onto Michael’s arm and smiled sweetly at Rosy. “Hi, I am your future sister-in-law.”
“You… You…”
Rosy was flustered while Vanessa was shocked speechless.
“And you.” Elena peered sideways at Vanessa as her lips curled up into a smile. “Look closely now. He is the blind old man that you have mentioned.”
“No, no, it wasn’t like that… No, I didn’t mean… Not that.”
Vanessa stumbled a few steps backward. Her legs felt like jelly, and with a loud thump, she sat on the ground. However, she pulled herself up quickly and went straight to Michael. She was so anxious that she looked as if she would break.
“Big Brother, I… I was not… I didn’t know that the ugly duckling was her… No, not…”
Oh, God! How could that be? Elena’s man was Eldest Young Master Williams, the most powerful man in Bentson? How could that be? How could Big Brother fall for someone like her?
No, that was not possible!
“It doesn’t matter if I am ugly or not, but my fiancé is not a sorry old man. Take a closer look at him.”
Elena felt like she wanted to laugh out loud. Someone had dug her own hole and jumped right into it! Her excessive act was such an eye-opener too.
“And I did not touch you at all.” She looked at Rosy as she said that. That hypocrite was even worse than Vanessa. Someone had accused Elena of hurting her, and yet she said nothing at all? Her silence was a form of agreement.
She wanted to do wicked things but dared not, so she took advantage of Vanessa to use her as a pawn. That sort of pretentiousness was worse that Vanessa’s simple-mindedness.
“Did I hurt your leg? When did I touch you? If you say yes, then I will get the staff to extract the surveillance footage from the shops. Even then, I can still sue you for defamation.”
“No, it wasn’t you. I was careless, and I hurt myself,” Rosy explained in a low voice. She did not say anything else. How was that any of her business?
She did not expect that Elena wanted to pursue the matter. Elena let go of Michael and strode toward her.
“You… What do you want to do?” Rosy was shocked, and she retreated instinctively.
“Since it didn’t happen, why didn’t you deny it when she said it just now?”
“It was Vanessa who said it. I didn’t say a word, I…”
“But you did not deny it either. Were you trying to mislead people into believing that I hurt you?”
Elena continued to sneer at her. “Yes, you did not say anything, so you don’t have to take responsibility for what was said. That is why you are smart.”
“However, someone here is really dumb. Even though you have continued to use her as a pawn, she still thought that she had benefited from your relationship.”
She turned around to look at Vanessa. She assumed an apathetic look, unsympathetic yet not filled with hatred.
“You heard that, right? She said that you were the one that said those things, so you will have to take all the responsibility for it.”
“No, no, I…” Vanessa was shocked. Her face turned chalk-white. She wanted to peek at Michael, but she dared not.
“Are you done yet?” Michael’s voice was plain. Even though he was not angry, he did not hide his dislike for petty arguments. Elena shrugged and then took his arms again.
“I wasn’t joking. Your fiancée was wronged by other people. Can’t I fight back just a little?”
“Why fight an accusation?” He looked at Levi.
Levi immediately went to him and asked, “Eldest Young Master, what is your order?”
“Your young madam was wrongly-accused,” he said before he made a bee-line straight back to the car. Elena followed behind him. She had had enough, and time was tight, so she dared not delay any further.
“I got it, Eldest Young Master.” Levi took out his mobile and dialed a number.
“Bring me all the surveillance recordings of Young Madam outside the Millennium Tower. There are those from inside the HARMADSshop too.”
“No, I was just joking. I…”
“Oh right, Eldest Young Master’s car’s engine had been on the whole time. The dashcam would have recorded what you said to Eldest Young Master Williams just now.”
“Mr. White, I didn’t mean it. I was… I was only joking. Mr. White!”
“You may continue this at the police station later.” Levi did not have time to listen to her. He rushed to open the door for Michael and Elena.
Then, the magnificent Mayback disappeared gradually before their eyes. Rosy was so terrified that her body was icy-cold. She almost could not stand on her own.
Vanessa’s knees buckled, and she dropped to the ground. Michael was rumored to be vigorous and resolute in his business dealing. It looked like that rumor was true.
They were expected to go to the police station for their lies and bad-mouthing Elena. It did not appear to be a joke! She was also part of the Williams family, but Eldest Young Master Mu did not care about her at all! He was such a cold-hearted person.
“It’s you! You got me into this!” Rosy pointed at Vanessa and kicked at her furiously.
“I have angered Big Brother. What do I do? Why did you lie? Now you’ve got me in trouble!” No one could survive in Bentson if they messed with Eldest Young Master Williams.
“I was just trying to help you!” Vanessa was in great despair. Did she care if she had annoyed Rosy? However, she had displeased the Eldest Young Master Williams. Why would she continue to care about that woman?
“Don’t you think you have some part in it as well? If you were that innocent, why didn’t you stop me just now?”
“Vanessa, how dare you talk to me like this!” Had that b*tch rebelled against her?
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Who do you think you are? Who would bother about you if you’re not my uncle’s granddaughter?”
Vanessa got up from the ground. She could no longer rely on Rosy. She had to face the music, and so she had no time to entertain the spoiled Young Miss Williams.
She did not expect that Eldest Young Master Williams would be much worse than the rumors. He would even go against his relatives for an ugly woman. What could she do then?
