Free Web NovelChapter 282: Chapter 282: Heartbroken to the Extreme
This all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that it caught everyone off guard!
By the time Cecilia Vaughn reacted, she saw blood continuously flowing down Rosalind White’s forehead.
This wasn’t a fake fall, but a real collision!
If the strength is not handled properly, it could even be fatal!
...
Cecilia couldn’t believe her eyes. In her more than twenty years of life, it was the first time she had seen a woman like Rosalind White.
Willing to sacrifice a thousand enemies, even if it means losing eight hundred herself.
In this world, how many girls dare not to cherish their own lives to self-harm, and how many dare not to care about their appearances?
Rosalind White is truly an anomaly among anomalies!
A woman who dares to be ruthless to herself. Suddenly, Cecilia didn’t find it so surprising that she could receive such a Jade Bracelet.
...
Stacy Summers received a message from Butler White. She feared that the younger generation at home might cause some trouble, and as soon as she saw the message content, she rushed back to The Law Residence in a hurry.
Who would have thought that she would witness such a scene as soon as she entered the yoga room!
No matter how at fault Rosalind White is, she was a child Stacy watched grow up, almost like a piece of her heart, difficult to part with. Stacy hugged Rosalind in extreme distress, wishing she could teach her a lesson.
"Rosalind, what on earth are you thinking? Don’t you care about your life anymore?"
As she spoke, she cast an unkind glance at Cecilia and Adrian. freёwebnovel.com
It’s not that she had much against the two of them, but she simply couldn’t imagine what Adrian might have "wrongly accused" Rosalind of that would make this child use her life to prove her innocence!
...
Rosalind gave a sorrowful smile and spat out a mouthful of blood. Tears streamed down her face, washing away the blood-red flower on her face, making her appear even more weak and pitiable.
"Grandmother, don’t blame... Adrian... it’s all Rosalind’s fault. Rosalind can’t even repair a bracelet without causing such trouble..."
Rosalind’s large, black almond eyes were washed clean and bright by tears, with such a desolate look that anyone’s heart would ache slightly upon seeing it.
"Grandmother, I’m sorry... it’s Rosalind’s fault, being weak in nature," she painfully turned her head, raising it with trembling courage. "Adrian... I beg you, won’t you believe me?"
Rosalind spat out another mouthful of blood, but tried her best to remove the Red Jade Bracelet from her left wrist.
"I didn’t know... that Sister-in-law’s bracelet was harmful. I’m begging you, take mine for inspection too... How can I admit to something I haven’t done? I’m... I’m not willing..."
Her eyes, as she looked at Adrian, seemed to hold countless unspoken stories of a daughter, yet she could only endure them silently.
When she spoke the last three unyielding words, Rosalind seemed to be in extreme pain, finally collapsing under the weight and fainted.
...
"Rosalind! You’ll be fine! Don’t faint..."
An ambulance... yes, she needed to call an ambulance.
Stacy Summers screamed in extreme shock, cold sweat pouring down her face, her old hands icy cold as she instinctively reached for her phone in her pocket, only to realize she left it in the car!
Fiona Vaughn, who came in with her, quickly offered her phone obsequiously to Stacy.
"Grandmother, don’t worry, I’ve already called 120. It’s just that you didn’t notice, the ambulance will definitely arrive in a few minutes, don’t worry!"
Stacy nodded bitterly in her heart.
She gazed at the bloodstained face of Rosalind, feeling overwhelming heartache.
She always wanted to cherish her legitimate granddaughter, Nancy Law, but little Nancy died too early, so she transferred her affections to Rosalind White. Stacy knew well that Rosalind was vain and wholeheartedly obsessed with Adrian, but in Stacy’s view, those are insignificant faults, things that can be corrected.
It wasn’t until this moment that Stacy realized that Rosalind was even more stubborn than she imagined...
How foolish could this child be? Even at this point, she still wanted her eldest grandson to believe in her innocence!
Stacy’s heart was in extreme sadness.
After all, she was the Matriarch of the Law Family. She took a deep breath, looking sternly at Adrian and Cecilia.
"What on earth happened today that got you all into such a state?!"
"I heard Rosalind mentioning something about the bracelets, is it about the two I gave to Cecilia and her? Such a simple matter, and you insist on breaking this family apart?"
...
"Grandmother, no one wants to tear this family apart. Adrian and I came to The Law Residence just to confirm something."
Cecilia pursed her lips, straightening her back to meet Stacy’s gaze, her voice neither humble nor haughty.
She had always had a good impression of Stacy Summers.
But at this moment, she also realized that Stacy was likely to stand up for Rosalind.
She could understand Stacy’s partiality towards Rosalind. After all, a human heart lies on the left, Rosalind had been at the Law Family for over ten years preceding her, a child she had personally looked after. Such feelings are easy to understand.
But understanding didn’t mean she had to give in without limits.
Stacy took a deep breath, her voice cold and emotionless, but anyone could sense the turbulent undercurrents in the air.
"Cecilia, what do you want to confirm? Just say it."
Fiona Vaughn watched Cecilia with a gloating expression. She was most pleased to see Cecilia being unwelcome in the Law Family!
Even if it was Rosalind, it was better than having this little bastard Cecilia rise above her and dominate!
...
At this point, being vague was useless.
Cecilia looked indifferent, bending down, picking up a stack of A4 paper, and handed it to Stacy.
"Grandmother, once you read it, you’ll understand."
Just as Cecilia finished speaking, the sound of emergency sirens from the 120 ambulance echoed outside the Law Residence.
Stacy barely had time to glance at the title on the A4 paper before her attention was diverted.
"The ambulance is finally here!"
Stacy heaved a sigh of relief, her stern gaze turning to Adrian.
"Adrian, carry Rosalind down, do you hear me?"
No matter what, Rosalind was her eldest grandson’s lifesaver. Forcing a lifesaver to die today, how would that reflect on the Law Family’s reputation?
Adrian’s expression turned cold.
"I refuse, Grandmother, you should ask someone else."
"You—"
Stacy was rendered speechless with anger, but there was no time to delay saving a life. She could only begrudgingly have the Law Family’s bodyguards carry Rosalind down.
...
The ambulance was about to depart.
Cecilia thought for a moment, then tugged at Adrian’s sleeve and followed.
"What are you all coming for?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Stacy gave Adrian an annoyed glare, but was more cordial to Cecilia.
Cecilia really didn’t want to be on bad terms with such an elder, she sighed, handing the A4 paper back to Stacy.
"Grandmother, if after reading this you still want to blame Adrian and me, I’ll accept it."
Stacy took it hesitantly, and upon flipping through it, her expression turned serious...
