Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Three years ago, Emma had come to Wade town to spend her vacation.
Similarly, David and Serena, who were her good friends back then, had also accompanied her to Wade town.
That day, they were about to go for a tour of the lake when they met a little girl in dirty clothes.
She was carrying a basket woven from hemp rope on her back and picking up plastic bottles by the lake with a pair of pliers in her hand.
Originally, such an unremarkable character wouldn’t be noticed by Emma’s group at all, but when they passed by the little girl, the little girl suddenly looked up and smiled at them.
It was also at this moment that Emma and the others realized that there was something wrong with the little girl’s appearance. Her expression and facial features clearly made her look like an idiot with an underdeveloped brain.
The little girl had a runny nose and was smiling at them. She then greeted them loudly,
“Hello!”
Emma was frightened by her look and took a few steps back to stay away from her. She said in disgust,
“Get lost, dirty and stinky girl. Stay away from us.”
Serena chimed in,
“She’s a fool. She probably doesn’t understand what we’re saying.”
Although the little girl was indeed a fool, she wasn’t deaf. She could more or less distinguish between good and bad intentions. Perhaps it was because she had been bullied a lot in the past, so when she heard the keyword “fool,” she immediately reacted.
She realized that the people in front of her were talking badly about her, which made her angry. So, she bared her teeth and roared at the three people, mumbling something.
When Emma saw that this little fool still dared to shout at them, anger rose in her heart. She picked up a branch by the lake and rushed up to beat the
The little girl also knew that it would hurt to be hit on the body, so she quickly fled. However, David and Serena had already rushed over and surrounded her when Emma attacked.
It was obvious that they had done this many times before, so they had a special tacit understanding.
The little girl couldn’t run away, so she could only hold her head and squat on the ground, allowing Emma to hit her.
In the end, Emma still didn’t vent her anger after the whipping. When she saw the basket on her back, a bad idea suddenly came to her mind.
She asked Dave to throw the basket that little fool used to pick up trash into the lake. She wanted to make a fool of her.
The little girl didn’t make a sound when Emma whipped her, but she panicked when she saw her basket being thrown into the water.
In her mind, she could only trade for food if she picked up the bottles and brought them home. so she couldn’t lose the basket.
Therefore, the little girl immediately jumped into the water regardless of the danger. This change was obviously not expected by the three of them. Seeing the little girl struggling in the water, the three of them were shocked and knew that they might have caused big trouble, so they quickly ran away.
If it wasn’t for a passer-by who happened to save the little girl, the three of them would have really committed a great sin of murder.
After that, the little girl’s parents came to their door and accused them of murdering the little girl.
Emma thought that she was just joking. Who knew that the fool would be so stupid to jump into the water? Emma didn’t think she did anything wrong, so she naturally didn’t need to take responsibility.
However, in the face of the little girl’s parents who came to criticize them fiercely, and the people around her who were looking at her with strange eyes, Emma knew that what happened next to her couldn’t be exposed, or she would be labeled as a murderer.
Therefore, Emma denied the incident and claimed that the little girl’s fall had nothing to do with them.
Fortunately, after the little girl was rescued, she looked even more dazed and couldn’t stand up to point fingers at them. Plus, Emma bribed a witness, so they escaped this.
However, it was clear that this incident had left a shadow in Emma’s heart, so when her mother suddenly mentioned it, she realized that her mother had already found out about what she had done.
Emma panicked for a while but then calmed down.
“So what if Father and Mother knew?”
She consoled herself that she was the young lady of the Watson family, and her father and mother would never let this matter be exposed and damage her reputation.
So, they would protect her, just like before.
Therefore, Emma didn’t think she needed to panic. She just needed to keep her mouth shut and not admit it. No one had seen what they had done that day with their own eyes. As long as they didn’t admit it, no one could make her bear the responsibility for the crime..
