#that on earth? Madelyn was at a loss for words “Beatrice, which eye of yours sawpush her? | barely exerted

any force, just enough to keep her from catching up. It's clear as day that she fell because she couldn't keep her

balance”

“Seriously, do you think I'm blind? Beatrice scoffed, pointing to her own eyes. “I saw it myself. You were the one

who pushed her down! How much force did you use? Who can tell? Or are you suggesting someone would

intentionally throw themselves into the water for fun?”

Madelyn gazed steadily at Janessa Well, speople really do bring trouble upon themselver

“Besides, this young lady here obviously doesn’t know how to swim. Madelyn, who in their right mind would

jump into the water when they can’t even swim? Isn't that just asking for trouble?” Beatrice added.

Upon hearing this, the nearby guests found it reasonable and nodded in agreement. They then looked at

Madelyn with a hint of disdain.

Madelyn was speechless, inwardly kicking herself with regret. D*mn it! Ive truly let my guard down! I didn’t

expect Janessa to intentionally dive into the water just to get Sebastian's attention. Janessa is really pulling out

all the stops, even if it means being hard on herself!

In the end, all she could do was shrug helplessly and say, “A clean hand wants no washing. All I know is | didn’t

push her.

After saying that, she wanted to turn around to leave.

“Stop right there!” Beatrice suddenly exclaimed in anger.

“Is there anything else?” Madelyn asked, turning her head impatiently.

Beatrice let out a cold laugh. “How ridiculous! Are you actually justifying pushing one of our guests into the

water? Is this how we, the Lockhart family, treat our guests?”

“I've already said | didn’t push her. She jumped into the water herself. What more do you want from me?”

Madelyn was no pushover herself. Her aura was every bit as formidable as Beatrice’s.

Yet, Beatrice adamantly declared, “Impossible! You claimed you didn’t push her, but that’s just your side of the

story. To be fair, | think we should ask the lady who fell into the water.”

After speaking. Beatrice turned her gaze to Janessa, her face apologetic. “I'm truly sorry for the scare. Did she

push you earlier?”

The tone of this question was far from being inquisitive. It was more like an interrogation.

Upon hearing this, Madelyn was very displeased, but she had no choice but to turn her attention to Janessa.

Janessa, if you dare to tell a lie, you're done for

However, when Janessa finally saw Madelyn in an unfortunate situation, she was far too overjoyed to even

consider defending her. Why would | help her prove her innocence? However, if she were to accuse Madelyn of

pushingoutright, Madelyn would undoubtedly hold a grudge against me.

With that in mind, Janessa simply chose not to acknowledge or refute the accusation. She feigned.

Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldn't help but bristle with rage. She pointed at Janessa, questioning, “Janessa, do

you dare to tell the truth for once??

“1-1 really don’t know... Janessa acted even more pitiful

For a moment, everyone around was displeased with Madelyn, pointing and murmuring

“Wow! | never would have guessed. This lady from the Thornton family is actually that kind of woman. Isn't she

just too wicked?”

“She had the audacity to push a guest into the water and then deny it. How on earth did the Lockhart family

agree to let her marry into their family?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn was simply rendered speechless, left with no choice but to glare resentfully

at Janessa.

Janessa was quite startled by her gaze, immediately taking a step back in apprehension.

“Madelyn, what else do you have to say for yourself?” At this moment, Beatrice looked at Madelyn with air of

arrogance, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. “You better apologize to our guest. If she forgives you, we can

forget this ever happened.”

What? Did she askto apologize to Janessa? Madelyn’s eyes widened in disbelief. That's impossible!

“What's the matter? Don’t want to? You sure have the guts to act so boldly.” Beatrice commented with a cold.

sarcastic laugh.

Madelyn was on the verge of losing her temper. She couldn’t help but step forward, ready to argue further.

Just then, Sebastian seized Madelyn’s wrist.

“It wasn’t her doing.” His icy tone suddenly silenced the entire scene.

“What?” Beatrice was taken aback. Looking at Sebastian, she instantly becupset. “Sebastian, you better not

be covering for Madelyn. It’s clear that she’s the one in the wrong.

Sebastian didn’t even spare her a glance, his demeanor icy cool. “At that time, Madelyn and | were holding

hands. | could feel just how much strength she was using. There's no way she intentionally pushed Ms. Sherritt

into the water,” he stated with conviction.

After speaking, he turned to look at Janessa, his gaze so intense it was almost frightening. “Isnt that right, Ms.

Sherrin?”

Janessa was scared out of her wits, and she wouldn't dare to deny it at this point. She immediately nodded in

agreement. “Yes. Madelyn probably didn’t do it on purpose.”

A single sentence instantly humiliated Beatrice, eliciting a wave of sighs from the crowd.

At that moment, upon hearing the news, Janessa’s father hurriedly rushed over.

Right off the bat, he was all bows and apologies. “I'm truly sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Janessa has caused you some

trouble. We apologize.”

wave of her hand, she dismissed the issue and said, “It’s line, Janessa said it was a misunderstanding. She

should hurry up and change her clothes. Make sure to dry off properly to avoid catching a cold.”

With that, Madelyn adopted the demeanor of a bestie, instructing the housekeeper to assist Janessa in changing

her clothes.

Before leaving, Janessa shot a covert glare at Madelyn, her heart seething with resentment.

She had initially hoped to have Sebastian jump in to save her and, in the process, fraMadelyn. However,

her plans fell through once again.

Sebastian not only refrained from saving her, but he didn’t even spare her a glance from beginning to end. In

Janessa’s eyes, it was all Madelyn’s fault.

At that moment, Janessa was determined to get revenge.

As for Beatrice, she originally intended to teach Madelyn a lesson, aiming to embarrass her in public.

In the end, not only did she fail to humiliate Madelyn, but she also shot herself in the foot.

The thought of it filled Beatrice with regret and urgency, leaving her no choice but to storm off in a huff.

In a short while, the crowd began to slowly disperse.

Beside the vast swimming pool, only Sebastian and Madelyn were left.

As their eyes met, Sebastian suddenly felt somewhat uneasy. Just a moment ago, | was deceived by Janessa.

nearly losing my head in confusion, and almost misunderstood this girl.

With that in mind. Sebastian couldn’t help but tenderly stroke her hair. “You've been wronged.”

Madelyn, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind. She gave a sweet smile and said, “It’s all right, as long as you

know the truth now.”

After she finished speaking, Madelyn clutched her stomach and complained, “Oh, | haven't eaten all night. I'm so

hungry. Sebastian, | want to eat...”

A subtle smile inevitably crept up the corners of Sebastian's lips as he observed her petite demeanor.

“Let's go. I'll treat you to something delicious.” Following this, he gently took her delicate hand in his warm, large

palm and led her to the kitchen.
