Chapter 607
The servants, who were in the backyard, heard the commotion and rushed over. When they saw Sophia lying on the ground with a pool of blood, they were shocked. "What's going on?"
"She pushed Grandma down. Call an ambulance!"
When the servants heard that, they hurriedly called the emergency number. Chloe panicked. "It's not me. I didn't do it. Sophia was lying here when I arrived!"
When Lincoln received the news, he was shocked. He called Max and Olivia, asking for an explanation.
Fred took the opportunity to grab Chloe and tore off the buttons of her clothes. "Crazy woman! What are your intentions for coming to my house and harming my grandmother?"
While the people around him were panicking, Fred quickly rushed to Sophia. "Grandma! Grandma, wake up!"
He took the opportunity to place the button in his hand. When Lincoln arrived, Fred pointed at Chloe and said, "Dad! It's all her fault!"
Lincoln was furious. He stared at Chloe with a sharp gaze. Chloe was so frightened that her face turned pale. "No, I already said it wasn't me!" More members from the Anderson and Foxx family arrived. Lincoln shouted, "If the Foxx family can't keep an good eye on her, don't keep her under your care anymore. Send her back to the mental hospital!"
"This is unacceptable! She's a crazy woman! My mother's life is in danger. If anything happens to her, I'll make Chloe pay with her life!"
Olivia did not know what to do. Chloe was mentally unstable. If a conflict indeed happened, it would be hard to tell.
Meanwhile, Max was dumbfounded. He did not expect Chloe to create such a huge trouble. At that instance, he did not know what to do.
Chloe hugged Olivia helplessly. "It's not me. It's really not me! When I arrived, Sophia was already lying on the ground. It's really not me. You have to believe me!"
Olivia could not be sure. After all, Chloe had been having relapse frequently during the period of time. She did not know if her words were true. Chloe panicked. Lincoln shouted, "Who else could it be but you!"
Fred took the opportunity to fidget with Sophia's palm and immediately shouted, "Look, Grandma is holding her button!"
At the moment, everyone saw Sophia holding a button in her hand. It was Chloe's.
Everyone saw it clearly. Chloe became more confused.
An ambulance arrived and Sophia was transported to the hospital. Chloe panicked. Valerie rushed back.
Valerie was shocked when she heard the commotion coming from the house and was informed that Sophia had been pushed downstairs. When she entered the house, she saw Lincoln dragging Chloe away.
Seeing Chloe's pale face, Valerie quickly shielded her from others. "Don't talk nonsense. She's not that kind of person!"
Lincoln sneered. "Valerie, you're defensing an outsider. You're a member of the Grant family. Did you say it's impossible? The evidence is conclusive. How dare you to quibble!"
"Lincoln..."
"Don't call me by my first name!"
Valerie took a deep breath. "Okay, Mr. Grant."
Chloe urged her to leave quickly when she was about to have a mental episode. She could not bear to hurt her. How could such a kind person like her hurt Sophia?
She did not believe it at all. Moreover, it was all their accusations. These were not enough to testify at all. Everything should be based on facts and reasons.
She said seriously, "We must have solid evidence. A button doesn't mean anything. You mentioned that she's not in her best mental condition. What if she's being framed?"
"I don't think it's her. Why don't you investigate again? A human life is at stake. You can't simply make an accusation."
Chloe quickly pulled Valerie's arm. "Believe me! I didn't do it. I really didn't do it!"Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe's face was extremely pale. Valerie was her only salvation.
Valerie patted her hand instead. "Don't worry. I believe you're not that kind of person."
Olivia and Max could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, they were still very much worried.
Lincoln would never let go of the good opportunity.
Fred was at the scene. Sophia had fainted, and Matthew was not around. No one could support her.
Fred said disdainfully, "Valerie, you really treat her as your biological mother. You don't care about our grandmother. We can only call the police."
"Even if she's mentally ill, she has to be punished for pushing my grandmother."
After hearing they were going to call
the police, Olivia panicked. The
matter would be escalated. They all hailed from reputable families. If words got out that the Anderson family's daughter-in-law harmed Sophia from the Grant family, it would be bad for both families.
"Don't do that. We can discuss it. We have to think about the consequences."
"What discussion? There's nothing to discuss!"
Fred rejected the suggestion coldly.
Valerie said in a deep voice, "Even if you call the police, I would tell them
that they're your point of view. I won't believe that Sophia did it. How many people were there in the
house? Why should we believe in
whatever you say?"
"I could have said that you pushed Sophia and framed Chloe!"
For a moment, everyone was looking at each other.
That could have happened.
Leon said, "Mrs. Sophia asked us to tidy up the backyard. At that time, everyone was busy working there. There was no one in the living room. We only came over when we heard someone shouting. When we came, Mrs. Sophia was already lying on the ground!"
"Only Mr. Fred and Mrs. Chloe are here."
Valerie nodded her head and looked at Fred.
Fred was shocked. Valerie's gazes were really vicious!
He panicked. Lincoln shouted angrily, "That's enough! Valerie, I can tell that you don't get along with Fred and me. You would overturn whatever we said. Are you trying to frame us?"
"Alright, wait for it! Hurry up! Take hold of the murderer! Keep that woman away. You're a member of the Grant family, yet you defended an outsider. You're not qualified to be a member of the Grant family!"
"Since Matthew isn't here. I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf! You're a shameless bitch!"
Valerie took a step back. Leon came forward. "Please don't do that. Let's talk things through. Mrs. Valerie is pregnant!"
Fred pulled him away. "It's not my problem. She isn't carrying my child!"
