After Gina Sutton was taken to the hospital by her classmates, she was treated there for several days before being brought home by Betty Chapman.
This time, the injury was primarily on her leg, and she might not be able to walk normally for a long time. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
As soon as she got home, she lay on the bed and cried.
"Mom, how can Adrian Walyon treat me ? In what way am I inferior to Summer Sutton? Why does he treat us so differently?"
"Mom, I can’t go on living . He hit me in front of so many people! If my leg never works properly again, I’ll just die!"
"Sob, mom, I’m so miserable. Will he ever like me?"
She spoke in despair, lying on the bed as if she was ready to end it all.
Betty Chapman frowned, scolding her, "I’ve told you, don’t be so impulsive in everything you do, but you never listen! Even if you want to do something, you can’t be too blatant, understand? You need to learn patience and subtlety, do things in the dark. As long as there’s no evidence, you can do whatever you like. Those who can endure will achieve great things, understand?"
Gina Sutton raised her face and slowly filtered her mother’s words through her mind.
Learn to be deep, operate in the shadows...
She was still too young, having previously shown her dislike for Summer Sutton too obviously, which led Adrian Walyon to suspect her directly this time.
If she hadn’t shown anything, maybe this time Summer Sutton would have really died, and no one would have thought of her...
Gina Sutton cried for a good long while, and suddenly she realized something through her tears.
The next day, fearing she would be too bored cooped up at home, Betty Chapman pushed her in a wheelchair to take a turn around the mall.
As they came out, they happened to see Diana Wood driving by.
Diana Wood glanced at Gina Sutton in the wheelchair, surprised, and stopped the car, "Gina, what happened to you? How did you end up in a wheelchair after just a few days?"
Gina Sutton raised her face and quietly stared at her for a bit, then, after some thought, slowly uttered, "I had a car accident a few days ago. Summer hit me."
"Summer?" Diana Wood looked at her in astonishment, her face changing instantly.
She seemed shocked and didn’t process the situation for quite a while.
"The doctor said the leg almost got crippled. Oh, my poor daughter!" Betty Chapman wiped the corners of her eyes and added.
Diana Wood’s face paled a few more shades.
Gina Sutton watched her reaction without showing any expression, a cold smirk curved on her lips.
She believed Diana would trust her words.
After all, Summer Sutton has always had a bad reputation, having already hit people before. Why wouldn’t she coud hit someone with her car?
She stole everything that should’ve belonged to her, and she won’t have peace in the Walyon Family!
Ever since the accident, Summer Sutton has been picked up and dropped off everywhere by Adrian Walyon.
After attending a half-day of classes at school, they got out early, and Adrian took her to the company to accompany him.
At the company, while he was busy dealing with work matters, Summer Sutton was left to her own devices, doing whatever she wanted.
It was snowing outside, so feeling bored, Summer Sutton went to the garden downstairs to build a snowman by herself.
Gathering handfuls of snow from the ground, she piled them up and picked up a dead twig to draw the snowman’s eyebrows and eyes.
In the garden, the snow was a vast expanse of white.
The company’s employees were all busy with their work, in the silence, she was the only one in the snow.
She wore a white coat, and the red scarf around her neck stood out against the snow.
Once the snowman was finished, she seemed pleased with her handiwork, brushed the snow off her hands, and smiled sweetly as she stood up.
