“Why… why is she still here…” Florence suddenly looked very uncomfortable.
She looked like she could faint at any moment.
Normally speaking, her whole family would surround her, fearing that accident would occur to her.
However, everyone was simply staring at her.
They were staring at her coldly without any signs of moving.
Florence couldn’t rack her brain at the moment as she protested with reddish eyes, “I really don’t want
to see her. I really don’t want to see her. Can you make her go away?”
She was using her own pitiful façade to win over everyone’s sympathy.
She even lurched backwards as she said that, looking like she was on the verge of fainting.
She didn’t want to believe that they would still remain motionless with this act of hers.
“Why are you putting the blame on Gianna?” Cameron suddenly roared!
The whole villa seemed to be shaking because of it.
Not only did it shock everyone, Florence even forgot about her act of fainting.
She simply stared at her father without any reaction. This was the first time in her life that her father
was directing his anger at her.
How could he behave as such just for Gianna’s sake?
Huge beads of tears trickled down Florence’s cheeks as she looked extremely wronged, “Dad, I am not
trying to frame sister-in-law. I have told you before that I believe in her not guilty for Pamilla’s death, but
because she had an unpleasant episode with Pamilla yesterday, I just thought that maybe she might
have something to do with Pamilla. At the same time, I know that it has nothing to do with Gianna. It’s
just that I can’t control my thoughts, I… I am really torn.”
She said this with a very forlorn look in order to gain sympathy.
Gianna continued to watch Florence’s act with a nondescript expression.
She now finally knew what it meant to be a bitch but also wanted to pretend otherwise!
“You’re still not coming clean with the truth?” Cameron was so angry that his body was shaking.
Every time he thought about the voice in the recording and compared it with Florence’s current look, it
would never fail to reignite his anger to the point that he was about to explode.
He never thought that in the shadows where his eyes couldn’t reach, his own daughter was someone
so heartless and ruthless!
He was starting to doubt the love they had given her and whether it was the reason they had caused
her to turn into such a despicable being!
“Alright, I won’t blame Gianna anymore. I won’t blame her anymore.” Florence was crying very
miserably, “Pamilla must have slipped and fallen into the pool and died. I won’t blame Gianna anymore.
I will get back to my room now and never a word about this anymore. From now on… Everything is my
fault, and it’s my fault for causing troubles to everyone, it’s my…”
As she babbled, she was about to turn and leave.
The way she looked as if in so much pain would look flawlessly real if they didn’t already know her true
colours.
Nobody would imagine that she was just pretending right now.
“Florence! Pamilla was killed by you. How much longer are you going to pretend!” Cameron was so
furious that he even had the urge to slap her to death right her and right now.
Florence was stunned.
At this moment, she found it hard to believe the words that had just come out of her father’s mouth.
She couldn’t react even after some time.
She really couldn’t provide any response!
“You still want to feign ignorance!” Cameron roared.
Florence finally came back to her senses.
At that moment, she seemed to come to a realization.
She turned around and looked at Harriet.
She saw that Harriet didn’t dare to meet her eyes and was trembling all over as if in a stupor.
“Harriet has told me everything. How much longer are you still going to lie to me?” Cameron was still
enraged.
The image of his daughter as a kind girl was completely shattered. He never thought that his daughter
was so cruel!
She was really a humiliation to the Walker family!
“What has Harriet said?” Florence’s eyes were reddened as she asked with an innocent expression.
Gianna was impressed by Florence’s performance.
She was still able to put on such a good false act even though things were in grave grounds right now.
“She said that you have ordered her to kill Pamilla!” Cameron’s voice was still very brash and loud. His
anger didn’t allow him to control his voice anymore.
“Harriet, what did you say?” She sounded incredulous as she asked with a stern voice. It was precisely
her slightly diminished voice that gave the impression of her maintain her gentleness even at this
moment.
“Miss, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.” Harriet couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, “I really didn’t plan to
expose you, trust me, I didn’t want to. But you shouldn’t even think of that in the first place, you
shouldn’t do something like that…”
“What are you even saying now? Did you really just frame me just because of a few serious words that
I have given you last night?” Florence looked so wronged, “Didn’t I treat you very well all long? How
can you direct hatred at me just because my words were ugly?”
“That’s not it, miss. You shouldn’t pretend anymore, everyone knows what you have done. They really
do.” Harriet responded anxiously.
At this moment, the more Florence continued to act, the more disgusting she appeared.
She didn’t intend to let her young lady to sink into such a difficult place.
“What did everyone know? About the fact that I have scolded you last night?” Florence still wanted to
change the topic.
“Miss…”
“That’s enough!” Cameron roared furiously. He sounded like his patience had finally ran out, “Play the
recording now!”
Harriet was shaking all over.
Then, she fished out a phone and played the voice record she had just played for everyone a moment
ago.
Florence who was still struggling to pretend finally crumbled.
Her face was deathly pale.
She looked like her soul was lost and she found it hard to believe what she had just heard.
Her plan previously was to continue to deny her wrongdoings as long as they didn’t have any evidence
even if Gianna had forced Harriet to spill everything. She could even accuse Gianna and Harriet for
framing and ousting her together since her image was impeccable in everyone’s heart. They wouldn’t
begin to think that she could do something like that.
Never in her dreams did she know that Harriet would secretly record their conversation from yesterday.
If the recording was played now…
The twenty-two years of pretence she had worked very hard to maintain would be gone at this moment.
She would be exposed in front of her own family members.
No.
She couldn’t accept this.
She couldn’t accept getting herself exposed in front of everyone.
Her heart was racing nervously, and her eyes were fluttering without stopping. She was breaking down
at the moment.
Her head keep rotating left and right without stopping.
She couldn’t stop shaking her head as she staggered backwards.
“You still want to pretend?” Cameron asked her sternly.
Florence felt everything turning black in front of her.
She bit her lips in deep agony.
“Florence, I have raised you for so many years, and I cannot begin to imagine that you are such a
character. I never thought that the kind angelic girl in my mind would turn out to be someone so brutal
and cruel! Florence, you are an embarrassment in my eyes!” Cameron’s words were so stark naked
and he wasn’t holding back anything.
Florence couldn’t find a response in herself anymore.
Caroline felt like this was more than enough.
Although she couldn’t accept what her daughter had done, Florence was still her flesh and blood. Her
heart would still be hurt.
Seeing that Cameron was destroying her with regard, she still had a little sense of sympathy.
She immediately stood up and pulled Cameron’s arm, “Enough, you should stop. Florence must have
her own reason, she…”
“Say it!” Cameron’s voice overpowered hers as he didn’t want to listen to her, “If you don’t admit
everything today, about the reason and all that, even if you die in front of me, I still won’t back down
even if it means I will lose this daughter!”
