Chapter 117 It Has Nothing to Do With Gwenda
After leaving the restrooms, Olivier immediately asked for someone to arrange for a private room.
Seeing this, Gwenda asked with great confusion, "What's wrong? Why are we changing our seats?"
"It's quiet in the private room."
Olivier did not say anything beyond that, and Gwenda did not think further about it.
...
Thus, they finished their dinner in the private room.
After that, Wendy kept saying that she wanted to have a soak in the hot springs.
But Melanie was old and did not like such hassles, so she went back first.
Olivier was worried about her, so he decided to see her safely back to the villa.
Therefore, Gwenda was the only person who could accompany Wendy to the hot springs.
After they got changed, the housekeeper led them to where the hot springs were.
Gwenda had just entered the water when she looked up and saw Gretchen having a soak not far away.
Coincidentally, Gretchen looked over too.
Their eyes met and Gwenda frowned with displeasure.
...
What a small world it was! Why on earth did she run into Gretchen wherever she went?
Similarly, Gretchen did not look happy at the sight of her stepsister.
They stared at each other for a while before Gwenda eventually looked away, electing to ignore her.
This move made Gretchen, who had been suppressing her fury, angrier than ever. She glared at
Gwenda with such hatred that her face became twisted with the force of her rage.
Nearby, Wendy seemed to sense her gaze, and she moved closer to Gwenda, whispering, "Gwenda,
that woman seems to be glaring at you."
Gwenda knew who she was talking about, so she cocked an eyebrow and said, "Just ignore her."
"You know her?"
"Yeah."
"She must be crazy. Are we sure that her eyes aren't going to pop out of their sockets with the way
she's glaring at you?"
Wendy said seriously with a straight face.
Gwenda was amused by her words. "This is the first time I've heard that glaring can cause your eyes to
pop out of their sockets."
"I think her eyes are really close to falling out."
Gwenda's smile became bigger than ever.
Not far away, Gretchen watched as they whispered to one another, occasionally looking over to her
before giggling behind their hands. The flames of her fury grew.
However, since this was a public setting, she could not lose her temper. In the end, she could only bear
it just like she did at the restaurant.
...
After an hour of soaking in the hot spring, Gwenda left with Wendy.
As they headed to the showers, Gwenda had walked ahead of Wendy and was not paying attention to
her.
It was not until a loud thud sounded behind her that she turned to look.
She discovered Gretchen lying on the floor while Wendy stood nearby with a look of fear.
"What happened?"
Gwenda ran over anxiously.
"I... I don't know. She suddenly ran up to me, knocked into me randomly and fell down."
Wendy said in a panic.
Lying upon the ground with a look of agony, Gretchen gasped out. "You... you're lying! You were the
one who pushed me..."
The floor was wet with water.
The way she lay there looked as if she had fallen in an awful way after being pushed.
"I didn't push you!"
Wendy explained anxiously. "You were the one who ran over and knocked into me randomly. I didn't
even see where you came from!"
"You're lying!"
Gretchen covered the area where her tailbone would be and wailed, "It hurts! It hurts so much..."
When passers-by saw this scene, they helped Gretchen up and scolded Wendy, "What's wrong with
you, young lady? It's bad enough that you didn't apologise after knocking someone down. Why didn't
you help her up?"
"Indeed. Well, call the ambulance! Quickly!"
Having been framed for no reason, Wendy was so anxious that her eyes had begun to tear up. "I told NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
you I didn't do anything! She fell down on her own."
Gwenda comforted her. "Don't panic. I know you're not lying."
"Gwenda..."
"Let's send her to the hospital first."
Gwenda called for an ambulance while Gretchen informed Martin.
...
When Martin arrived, his heart ached for Gretchen when he saw her pale, piteous state.
"What happened?"
Gretchen did not say anything. She only told him, "I'm fine, it has nothing to do with Gwenda..." before
she got on the ambulance.
"Gwenda?"
Martin did not understand what she meant. After helping her into the ambulance, he turned and saw
Gwenda's silhouette.
Just as he was about to walk over to her, he saw Olivier hurrying over as well.
At this point, Wendy was scared out of her wits while Gwenda kept trying to comfort her.
Olivier went up to the girls and asked, "What happened?"
"Olivier..."
Wendy managed to get out before bursting into tears.
Olivier frowned and said sharply in a low tone, "Don't cry! Tell me, what happened?"
"Let me tell you."
