Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 78 Kaitlin Is Taken Away by the Police

“No!” Kaitlin seemed to have regained her strength and stood up. She screamed like crazy, “Mr. Ford! You can’t call the police! If you call the police, my life will be ruined! No! I am a member of the Baldry family! My elder brother is from the school board. How can you ignore the school board!”

This can never happen! thought Kaitlin.

Her eyes were filled with tears. She must stop Raymond from calling the police!

Kaitlin was the young lady of the Baldry family in Seattle and the focus of attention. Once she went to prison, she would be pushed aside by all the young ladies from the rich families in Seattle, and everyone in Seattle would laugh at her.

Raymond was a little hesitant. After all, the Baldry family was a member of the school board.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ford. The school board will tell right from wrong. Moreover, this matter involves

said Serina, and our Gage family will not let this matter go so easily. Just listen to Ms. Easton,‘ Manuel coldly.

“Mr. Gage! Save me! I will never do this kind of thing again in the future! Please don’t call the police!” Kaitlin cried in panic and wanted to grab Manuel’s arm.

Manuel only gave her a cold look before dodging.

Looking at how miserable Kaitlin was, Ainsley felt that it was a bit ridiculous. “Kaitlin, last time at the Gage family’s banquet, I had already warned you. If you dare provoke me again, I will definitely get even with you. Last time, when I wanted to call the police, it was your family that had been begging me. I didn’t call the police because I showed respect to the Gage family. However, no one will help you this time.”

“Ainsley! I beg you. I really know that I was wrong. Please don’t call the police. I will never do this kind of thing again! Don’t you like Cason? Please spare me this time. I will help you remarry Cason, okay?” Kaitlin cried and said all sorts of disgusting words.

Ainsley only felt a wave of irritation. She had already said it many times. She was no longer in love

with Cason!

“Kaitlin, I have already called the police. The police will be here soon,” Ainsley said impatiently.

“Ainsley! You slut! You must have set up a trap to frame me!” Kaitlin was like a crazy woman,

scolding Ainsley.

Many of the students below the stage saw this scene. They did not dare believe that this was Kaitlin, who used to be proud and elegant.

“Kaitlin, please get off the stage. The competition has not ended yet, and there will be an award

ceremony. Are you going to stand here and make a fool of yourself?” Ainsley looked at Kaitlin who

was crying and laughing in disgust.

Suddenly, Kaitlin fiercely pushed Serina, and Serina directly fell from the stage.

Kaitlin then rushed toward Ainsley. “I will kill you!”

Before Ainsley could react, a person charged at her. In the next second, she bumped into a chest, and

Kaitlin fell hard on the judge’s table.

Manuel frowned and helped Ainsley up. “Are you alright?”

Ainsley’s heart raced with fear. “I’m fine! Hurry up and take a look at Serina!”

Only then did Manuel go over. Serina was pushed to the audience. Fortunately, the students caught her,

and she was not injured.

Kaitlin laughed with anger. Mollie and the other judges immediately dodged to the side. In the chaos,

Kaitlin picked up the thermos cup on Ainsley’s table and fiercely threw it at Ainsley.

“Go to hell!”

The boiling hot water all fell on Ainsley’s body. “Ah!”

“Aisy!”

“Ainsley!”

“Ms. Easton!”

Amidst the chaotic shouts, Ainsley fell. She saw Kaitlin being tightly held by the security guards. Under

that concerned gaze, she fell off the stage.

At the infirmary.

A large area of Ainsley’s leg was scalded, and her skin was red and swollen. Even her arm was

scalded.

Serina wanted to follow, but Manuel did not let her come and had someone send her home.

Just as the doctor was treating Ainsley’s wound, Ainsley gasped. It really hurt.

It was not only pain but also a burning feeling, as if countless bugs were crawling on her leg and arm and

biting her skin.

That kind of pain even made Ainsley feel a little itchy, but just a slight touch made her feel terrible pain.

“Don’t touch it.” Manuel held her wrist and told her not to move.

The doctor took the ice bag and handed it to Manuel. He asked Manuel to put it on the scalded part.

It must be stuck to her skin for more than ten minutes.

Manuel took the ice bag and suddenly thought of something and stopped the doctor. “Well, she’s on her

period. Can she use ice?”

“It doesn’t matter. She shouldn’t be able to feel it.” The doctor instantly understood.

Ainsley blushed and pulled Manuel back with her uninjured hand. “Give it to me!”

Manuel only placed an ice bag on her leg, while the other one was held in his hand and was close to her

burned arm.

“I can do it myself.” Ainsley was a little awkward.

“Serina will cry if she knows,” Manuel smiled.

The moment the ice bag came close to her leg, Ainsley let out a soft cry, followed by a burst of coolness.

The burning feeling disappeared, and after the coldness was extreme numbness.

No matter what kind of feeling it was, it was better than the feeling of being bitten by bugs.

Manuel raised the ice bag for a long time. His arm was already a little sore. He changed the other hand

to hold the ice bag.

Ainsley said, “Thank you.”

Although she knew the gap between her and Manuel, she felt good to have someone to accompany

her.

“Aisy, why are you still so polite?”

Ainsley directly changed the topic. “Serina went back home, right? Was she hurt?”

“She is fine. She insisted on coming to see you. She can’t help much, so I let her go back,” answered

Manuel.

“Where’s Kaitlin?” At the mention of this person, her eyes became a bit colder.

“She has already been taken away by the police.” Manuel’s face darkened.

“What about the competition?”

“You really have a lot to ask. The competition ended perfectly. It was just that Serina refused this award.” Manuel paused for a moment.

Refuse the award?wondered Ainsley.

Ainsley immediately realized that the reason why Serina refused the award was actually to avoid suspicion. Even if everyone knew that it was Kaitlin who stole the test paper, and it was Kaitlin who

framed Serina.

However, there were still people who thought of the relationship between Serina and Ainsley, so Serina might as well give up on the award.

“I didn’t help her,” Ainsley said in a low voice. “She’s really smart. The backup test paper is much more difficult than the previous one. She could still answer a lot of test questions correctly. She’s really something.”

Looking at her lowered eyes, Manuel felt that Ainsley had suffered a great grievance. He couldn’t help but touch her head.

The next second, Ainsley suddenly looked up and shook off his hand. “Mr. Gage, keep up your appearance!”

“Okay. I just want to say that Serina doesn’t care about this award at all. What she wants to do is get the affirmation of the person she respects. When she gave up the award, Mollie even praised her.”

Hearing this, Ainsley felt much better.

“How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” Manuel’s voice was filled with deep concern.

Ainsley shook her head. “It’s already numb. Doesn’t Mr. Gage know that the first reaction after being scalded is not pain, but heat? The scalded skin is already numb. The most unbearable thing is the swelling feeling.”
