It was Ewan, who had called the police when Wendy was injured last time. The complainant was none other than Hunter.
Wendy thought Eldest Young Master Jackson did all those things for her because she was important to him. However, she suddenly realized there was another reason for his action.
Did Hunter do all those things to protect the little b*tch?
If Emily were in her hands, she would not have been able to walk out of the police station so easily! However, Eldest Young Master Jackson had gotten her out.
Hence, if she insisted on putting her back in jail, she would risk offending Eldest Young Master Jackson. She would not dare to do that!
‘But, if it were to happen again, I will make sure the b*tch squats in prison for the next few years!’
Emily stared angrily at the woman at the door. Her fiery eyes betrayed the hatred she felt for her.
Wendy, on the other hand, wore a big smile on her face as she looked at her with indifference.
“I heard she’s still in the ICU. Aw, the poor thing. Perhaps she would wake up one day, right?
“But then, even if she were to wake up, I would mess with her again.” Wendy covered her mouth as she giggled happily. “I can cripple her and play with her till she’s dead! What do you say? Doesn’t that sound like fun?”
“Oh yeah?” Emily put down her comb, turned around, and made her way toward Wendy.
Wendy had waited for that moment, but she felt an instinctual panic when the time came.
No! Why should she be afraid of the little b*tch?
‘Let her hit me! Better still, let her strike me hard! Then, I would call the police to take her in!’
“What are you doing? You want to kill me? Alright then, bring it on!”
Wendy leaned on the door frame; she did not back away.
“Kill me if you’ve got the guts to do it. Otherwise, I WILL kill your friend! Not only Sally, but also Lois, and…”
Emily stood in front of her. Her ice-cold stare made Wendy gulped subconsciously.
However, she was not afraid of her!
“Come at me, b*tch! Hit me if you have the guts! Argh!”
Emily had smacked her in the face!
“You…” Wendy was dumbfounded. That little b*tch had slapped her!
“What? I thought you wanted me to hit you?”
Emily sneered and left the bathroom. Then she made her way toward her bed.
“I’ve never seen a person as cheap as you, begging people to hit you. What a silly goof!”
“You… You…” Emily did not slap her hard, but it was still a slap in the face! Wendy was still shocked by what had happened!
“B*tch! How dare you!”
Wendy, who had reacted quite slowly, finally realized that Emily had tricked her!
That b*tch had slapped her! Not even her parents had hit her like that! She had been slapped a few times, and each time was because of that b*tch!
She had been angry for the whole night, and she finally could not take it any longer. She had to vent her anger!
Wendy dashed toward Emily and grabbed her neck as she walked toward the bed!
“B*tch! You slapped me! I want you dead!”
Emily had wanted to raise her knee, but when she heard noises outside her door, she let herself fall back onto the bed.
Her action had taken Wendy by surprise; she did not expect Emily to be so weak. It looked like even the b*tch had moments of weakness!
“B*tch, I thought you’re tough! Why don’t you fight back?” Even if she could not strangle Emily to her death, Wendy wanted her to know that she was the bane of her existence!
“Since you dare to come back and steal my man, you should have the courage to face the consequences! Don’t you dare think that Eldest Young Master Jackson wants you because he likes you! You’re only his plaything! Get it?”
‘She’s nothing but his toy, and she dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!’
“You…”
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from behind them.
Before Wendy could react, she felt a stinging pain on her wrist. Someone had pulled her hands from Emily’s neck!
That person did not use their full strength on her, but the momentum forced her backward.
Before she could see who had done that, Wendy immediately fell on her bottom, as per her usual tactic.
Her fiery arrogance had vanished without a trace, and she became a pitiful victim instead.
“You…” When she recognized the man in front of her, Wendy was so stunned that she did not know how to react.
She had thought it was Liam! Only that bastard would help Emily go against her!
Why was it him?
“Eldest Cousin Brother?”
Joseph only looked at her briefly. Then he reached out to lift Emily, who had fallen onto the bed.
He was worried when he noticed her labored breathing. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Emily coughed a few times and shook her head. She wanted to say something, but she could not make a sound.
“Don’t talk yet, calm your breathing!” Joseph immediately said.
Emily had to breathe through her mouth, so she had to suppress her urge to talk.
“Eldest Cousin Brother? Grandfather?” When she noticed there were two more silhouettes at the door, Wendy immediately turned toward them and saw Old Master Gale and Liam at the door.
“Miss Emily, are you OK?” Of course, Liam could tell that Emily was not hurt. However, he had asked that question so everyone could see that Wendy was evil!
Old Master Gale had walked quite slowly, so he did not see what had happened. Liam and Joseph, on the other hand, had seen everything!
Wendy had strangled Emily and called her a plaything!
It was clear that she was out for blood!
“Ouch, it hurts…” Wendy’s face immediately changed from shock to pitiful.
“Grandfather, my wound hurts! She… She wanted to hit me.”
Old Master Gale looked at her, but he did not know how to react to the situation.
Wendy struggled on the floor for a long time—because she was ‘too weak’—before she finally got up.
She walked toward Old Master Gale and stood in front of him as she blinked her pitiful eyes.
“Grandfather, she…she scolded me! She said that I’m not qualified to be Gale family’s grandchild and that only she could be one! So, I got angry…”
She did not know if they had heard any of their conversations, but Wendy had to insist that she was not in the wrong.
She pouted her lips and softly said, “She hit my wound, and she wanted to kill me too! I was only defending myself!
Nobody said a word. The quiet air became fearsome, and the atmosphere had turned ominous.
Should he believe her? That was his granddaughter; what should he do?
Finally, the Old Master Gale nodded and walked into the room.
Wendy was immediately upset. What did he mean by that? Did he not believe her?
Old Master Gale walked past Wendy and made his way toward Emily, who was on the bed. The girl stared back at him in silence.
The older man felt sad when he saw the red marks on her neck. She did not mention anything about that, and Old Master Gale’s heart almost broke for her.
Was she upset? She did not say a word about that, and it made Old Master Gale feel even worse about it.
He gently asked, “Are you hurt? Is your neck still painful?”
