Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 144

"What happened?" His voice was not loud and he looked at her tenderly.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, he heard Helen Anderson say sorrowfully, "Third Master, this companion of yours is too impolite. I just wanted to say a few words to her alone, but she seemed to want to pull on me. My daughter wanted to stop her but she was pushed into the water by Laura."

Because there were no witnesses at the time, they could say anything.

After Helen Anderson finished speaking, she walked over to Betty Anderson's side and hugged her painfully.

"Betty, it's all my fault. If I knew earlier, I would have been pushed into the water by her rather than implicating you."

"Mom, don't say that," Betty Anderson cried heavily. "How can I do such an unfilial thing?"

Because the mother and daughter pair were good at acting, in a moment, Laura became the bad girl.

Someone in the crowd said, "Miss, just apologize for your wrong doings. It shouldn't be that difficult for you to apologize."

"Yeah, this is a gathering hosted by the Old General, it's not good to be messing around like this."

She looked at William Walton. If she did not do anything, she would implicate him.

However, asking her to admit to your wrong doings would mean admitting that she had pushed them into the water.

She clearly hadn't done that, so why should she admit it?

She was sad.

William Walton pulled her behind him, turned around, and asked with a resolute face: "Don't listen to others, I only listen to you, is what they said true?"

She had originally thought that she would rather stay in the same boat as William Walton today, than apologize.

However, William Walton suddenly asked her this. She hurriedly said, "No, I didn't push her. "

"I believe you."

In that instant, tears began to well up in her eyes.

Betty Anderson panicked and shouted, "Mr. Walton, how can you listen to her side of the story? Even though no one was there to testify for me, could it be that I was crazy and jumped into the water by myself? Although it's summer, the water is still cold. "

William Walton righteously embraced his warm waist and said, "Because I understand her, so of course I have to listen to her side of the story. How could I trust two strangers?"

"But you being like this is unfair to us. Just now, she really pushed me away."

William Walton said firmly, "She definitely wouldn't have lied. At that time, since no one here saw it, then anything was possible, I don't believe that Laura would be able to push you into the water right in front of your mother. You are two people and she is only one person."

"I ..." Betty Anderson felt wronged and started crying again.

She had jumped into the water, did William Walton really understand how to be merciful to a girl?

William Walton used a bit of force on his arm to bring the warmth out of the backyard.

He got the servant to bid his farewells to the Old General before leaving.

Arriving at the door of the villa, she asked: "Did I get you into trouble?"

"What kind of trouble is this?"

"Others will probably say that the woman you brought here was messing around in the backyard of Old General, not giving Old General any face at all."

"Heh, when have I ever cared about what others say?"

"But ... What if Old General thinks the same? "

Along the way, the two of them sat in the back of the car, and William Walton asked: "Why did you follow them to the backyard?"

"They got me. At that time, I felt that I shouldn't have fought with them in public. If I knew that would happen, I might as well have fought with them."

William Walton laughed: "If you fight with them, it's not guaranteed that you will be at a disadvantage."

She pursed her lips, "But no matter what, it feels good to have someone stand by your side. This is the first time someone has unconditionally trusted me like this in public. "

"Something similar has happened before, and no one believes you?"

"At that time, I was nine years old. My mother took me to the Anderson family once, and at that time, the mother and I had nowhere to go. We had no money to pay the tuition fee.

I remember very clearly that at that time, my mother and John Anderson's wife went to the study room to chat. Betty Anderson was in the living room, and was very angry when he saw that both of us had arrived. She smashed the antique vase that John Anderson liked right in front of me.

When my mother and them came out, Betty Anderson pointed at me and said that I had smashed that vase. John Anderson didn't even ask me before hitting me. My mother came up to protect me and apologized.

All of them, not even giving me a chance to explain, Helen Anderson said. The vase was expensive, but since it was broken, I should pay them using my alimony.

That day, my mother took me away from the Anderson family and didn't say a word to me for a whole day. I thought my mother was angry with me, but at night, when I apologized to my mother, she said that she had let me down.

She knew that I didn't smash the vase, because I wouldn't walk around the room, but she didn't dare help me. She was afraid that if John Anderson was angered to the point that he wanted to take me back. If I stayed in their house, I would die.

That was the last time my mother went to the Anderson family to ask for money. From then on, no matter how difficult it was, my mother would rather eat only one meal a day than go to the Anderson family.

This matter has been hidden in my heart for many years. I have often wondered why I was so wronged, probably because I didn't even manage to explain myself, and also because no one in the world believed me back then. "

William Walton frowned. Anderson family, they have committed a heinous crime.

He took her hand. "In the future, even if the whole world abandons you, I will still stand by your side."
