Chapter 36: Whose Dress?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Someone whispered, “Didn’t Evelyn say that Miss Amelia hit Miss Emma first? Why is it the other way around? It was Emma who attacked first…
Evelyn’s lie was exposed in public. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die. Evelyn’s mother’s expression was extremely ugly, but for the sake of her daughter, she could only say, “Evelyn is still young. She might have
remembered wrongly…”
Everyone: n ???” She was already six years old. She was not young anymore. Besides, she could even remember such a small thing wrongly. She was either stupid or simply bad and deliberately induced others.
“In that case, you can’t blame Miss Amelia…”
“That’s right, that’s right. It was clearly Emma who attacked first. No matter what, you can’t hit someone, right?”
When everyone saw Emma crying just now, they felt that she was very pitiful, but now, the more they looked at her, the more they felt that she was arrogant and mischievous. Feeling the suspicious gazes of others, a trace of confusion and helplessness appeared in Emma’s eyes, and then she cried again.
Sarah clenched her fists tighter and tighter. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife as she said with a trembling voice, “Big Brother… how can you do this?” If they released the surveillance footage in public and let everyone see Emma hitting someone, what would happen to Emma in the future? Emma’s pride was so strong, how much psychological trauma would it cause? How could these people treat Emma like this!
George looked at Sarah coldly. He couldn’t be bothered to talk to her. In Sarah’s world, others couldn’t treat Emma badly, but what about Mia? Could it be that Emma was a child and Mia wasn’t a child?
George looked at Emma expressionlessly and said in a low voice, “Stand up.”
Emma was most afraid of George. She cried but did not dare to disobey. She sobbed and got up from the ground. George asked her, “Do you think you did the right thing?”
Emma cried and didn’t say anything. Actually, at this moment, she vaguely realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, but she didn’t want to admit her mistake. She cried and said, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to.” Although she was still unreasonable, her voice was much softer.
Sarah’s heart ached so much that her entire body trembled. How could he criticize her Emma like this? However, before she could speak, Dylan glanced at her coldly. “You’d better shut your mouth. Don’t force me to be ruthless in public.”
Sarah was speechless. She shut up. Although Dylan was a man of few words, he was a man of his word. What if he divorced her and made her leave with nothing?
Amelia looked at Emma with a tense expression. She felt that Sister Emma was actually not a bad person, but why did she have to be like this every time? Sister Emma had a mother who protected her. She should be the happiest child in the world, but Amelia felt that Emma was not happy.
George continued to ask Emma, “Why did you hit Mia?”
Emma sobbed. “I want the dress. This is my dress. If I don’t have a sister, these dresses are all mine.” When Emma’s grandmother heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly said, “Aiyo, Emma, you should have told us earlier. Just tell us what you want.”
George looked at Sarah and asked coldly, “Did you tell Emma that the dress Mia is wearing belongs to her?”
Sarah bit her lip. “l didn’t…”
Emma’s grandmother said anxiously, “Aiya, it’s just a dress! If Amelia likes it, we’ll give it to her. Our Emma is insensible.”
Andrew narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean you will give it to Mia just because she likes it?”
Emma’s grandmother paused. What she said just now was too brainless. She could only smile awkwardly and make up for it. “No… no…”
As men, George and the others really didn’t want to fuss over a small matter like a dress. However, since it concerned Mia, they really had to fuss over it this time! George lowered his head and instructed his assistant beside him. After a while, the assistant brought out a document, and Sarah suddenly had a bad feeling.
George’s voice was emotionless. “This is the customized measurements for the dress on Mia’s body. It’s completely customized according to Mia’s figure and height. Emma is much taller than Mia, and Mia is a little thin, so there’s no such thing as stealing someone else’s dress. This dress was customized for Mia.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before noticing this problem. That’s right.
Amelia was thin and small, and this dress fit her perfectly. On the other hand, Emma had been raised well by Sarah and was taller. Even if Amelia took off the dress, Emma would not be able to wear it.
Sarah was a little embarrassed. She was very resentful.. Even so, it could not change the fact that George and the others were biased!
