“Sorry, I slipped.” Her face, however, showed little remorse.

The box was made of paper, so it could float on the water’s surface.

Luckily, it didn’t drift too far and could still be retrieved.

Just as Molly Walker started to bend down, she caught a glimpse of a hand reaching out from the side in her peripheral vision.

Molly sneered and stepped aside, causing Gillian Thompson’s hand to find nothing but air, and she fell into the pond with a “plop.”

Molly quickly grabbed her box and took a few steps back.

Gillian Thompson splashed about, shouting for help.

Isabelle Richardson, who had been watching the scene from the sidelines, quickly covered her mouth and started yelling, “Someone, help! Gillian Thompson was pushed into the water!”

Her voice could be heard throughout the Thompson family compound, alerting everyone around.

Suddenly, someone rushed in and jumped into the pond, saving Gillian Thompson.

The rescuer wore a white T-shirt, and his chin-length hair dripped water. His handsome face was filled with anger.

“Second brother!” Seeing him, Gillian Thompson nearly cried, “This Molly Walker is so malicious, she pushed me into the water.”

A servant brought a blanket to cover her.

Nicholas Thompson, just back from school, was not aware of the situation. He saw his sister fall into the water and easily believed her words.

Nicholas Thompson put Gillian down and turned his gaze to Molly.

He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw her, feeling that the woman in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.

The woman in front of him had a graceful figure, casually tied hair, revealing her delicate neck, and was stunningly beautiful.

Unmoved by her looks, he focused on the matter at hand, “Miss, please come with me to the Public Security Bureau right now.”

As Nicholas Thompson, who blindly sought to send her to prison, spoke, Isabelle Richardson added fuel to the fire, “Nicholas, her background is not small.’

“Oh?” Nicholas Thompson raised an eyebrow, “So having a big background means you can break the law?”

He studied law and was currently pursuing his doctorate. He despised people who flaunted their background and played games.

That was why he kept a low profile, focusing on his studies, and didn’t want to get involved in company affairs.

Isabelle’s words hit a nerve.

“l don’t have a background, but, Mr. Thompson, you can check the surveillance footage before you start making accusations,” Molly stood tall and remained calm, “l didn’t push her; she tried to push me, but I dodged her, and that’s why she fell in.”

“Are you saying my sister brought this upon herself by falling into the water?” Nicholas Thompson’s piercing gaze scanned her, “If you hadn’t been standing here, would she have fallen in?”

Molly: .

Nicholas Thompson’s normally affectionate eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of ice.

Molly didn’t expect that some people could twist the facts to such an extent.

She looked down, feeling anger, sadness, and even envy in her heart.

If her family were still alive, they would protect her like this, right?

Unfortunately, she had no family left, and she could only rely on herself from now on.

“So Mr. Thompson, does this mean that you don’t intend to check the surveillance footage?” She appeared calm, with a ridiculing smile at the corner of her lips.

Hearing her words, Gillian Thompson’s heart leaped into her throat.

If they investigated the surveillance footage, wouldn’t her lie be exposed?

“We will certainly provide the surveillance footage if the police need it. It’s not something you can view just because you want to,” Nicholas Thompson defended her.

Gillian Thompson breathed a sigh of relief.

Her second brother was the best, always looking out for her. If her eldest brother had been here, he might have checked the surveillance footage first before saying anything.

Her second brother was very good to her, particularly in protecting her from any blame.

Her second brother had never lost a lawsuit, let alone dealing with such a small matter as this one.

She wanted to be despised by the whole Thompson family before Molly Walker set foot in their house.

That way, even if Molly was recognized one day, she couldn’t take away her things.

“Second brother, she’s close to third brother, and she’s Michael Gallagher’s ex-wife.’

She emphasized the words “ex-wife” heavily.

However, Nicholas Thompson didn’t care who she was; he was determined to take her to the Public Security Bureau.

The commotion here caught the attention of others, including Daniel Thompson.

Seeing Gillian Thompson and Molly Walker confronting each other while Gillian was soaking wet, Daniel understood everything.

He had just received a message that Gillian’s classmate would arrive tonight, and according to the investigation, that person was most likely Ivy.

It was a pity that Joshua held Molly in such high regard, and he was disappointed that Ivy was found, but it wasn’t Molly.

Now, seeing Molly and Gillian confronting each other, he was interested in watching the drama, and he asked softly, “Didn’t Miss Walker go home already?”

“Who knows? I saw her push Gillian into the water from afar. Gillian spoke up for me just once today, and she held a grudge for it. She’s so scheming; no wonder Michael divorced her.” Isabelle watched the excitement and fanned the flames as soon as she saw Daniel come out.

Molly sneered.

One by one, they really treated her like a pushover.

“Mr. Thompson, since you are here, why don’t we check the surveillance? I also want to know why Miss Thompson threw my things into the water and pushed me. Her actions confuse me. I don’t know how I offended Miss

Thompson and why she is targeting me like this.”

Molly’s words made Gillian’s face turn ugly in an instant.

“l just came back today; this is the first time I see you. Why would I target you? Molly, you clearly pushed me just now.”

Seeing Gillian trying to pin the blame on her, Molly laughed.

“Miss Thompson, what era is this? Just because you and Isabelle say so, can you convict me?” Molly looked at Nicholas and said softly, “l heard you’re a famous lawyer. Lawyers speak with the law. Just because she’s your sister, can you frame others at will?”

Her words hit the nail on the head.

Nicholas’s face clouded over.

He did favor his sister just now because he believed that Gillian wouldn’t tell such a clumsy lie.

But Molly’s words bluntly reminded him of his mistake.

“Since she wants to see the surveillance, let her see it.” Daniel spoke and

smiled meaningfully.

Gillian didn’t show it on her face, but her heart was in her throat.

If they checked the surveillance, everything would be over.

She didn’t expect Molly to be so difficult.

Isabelle was right; barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Molly, who had nothing to lose, was even more terrifying.

Gillian’s back was covered in cold sweat due to nervousness.

In fact, Daniel’s thoughts were simple: Gillian was usually kind and obedient, unable to bear to step on an ant, let alone frame someone she had only just met.

It was more likely that Molly was lying.

But he also admired Molly’s eagerness to check the surveillance in front of him. She was the first youngster to force him to check it.

He was willing to give her a chance.

“I don’t believe that my daughter, Gillian Thompson, would lie and frame you.”

He stood confidently with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Daniel’s adamant expression, Molly was not surprised.

She knew that people instinctively favor their loved ones, and Daniel was even more so.

But hearing that he was willing to check the surveillance, she became even more relaxed.

“Thank you, Mr. Thompson. After checking the surveillance, we both can be at ease.”

She looked at Gillian with interest, and sure enough, Gillian’s face was as pale as a ghost..
