Ethan glanced at his injured leg. His face showed no sign of being fazed, but in reality, he was gritting
his teeth from the pain.
When he rushed over here, he didn’t think his actions through. His knee got hurt when it got scratched
on the bumpy asphalt road. The rough rocks must’ve been the ones to injure his leg. And then, his leg
was also grazed by the wheel.
Janet felt so sorry for Ethan, and all her attention was now focused on him.
Just seeing her tear-streaked face made Ethan feel bad for her. “You’ve finally stopped ignoring me,”
he said.
Janet had been giving him the cold shoulder for days. And when he finally had the chance to talk to
her, he felt like there was a lump in his throat.
After wiping her tears away, Janet held him even tighter. “You should just be happy that I’m not giving
you the silent treatment anymore.”
Ethan pursed his lips, managed to get up, and asked, “Did you sprain your ankle when you fell down
from the stairs?”
Having heard the question, Janet finally realized that she had been kneeling on the floor, but she didn’t
feel a single pang of pain since all her focus was on Ethan.
“We should head back.” Ethan helped her up, shot Lila a glance as she stood on the stairway,
trembling. “Come with us inside.”
She thought it would be insane for her to walk back into the house with them after what she had done.
Just now, she was so furious that she wanted to kill Janet. Perhaps this idea had been at the back of
her mind for a long time, which compelled her to push Janet.
Now that she had come to her senses, she was so terrified. She caught up to Janet and broke into
tears. “Oh, my God! Janet, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital first? I didn’t mean to hurt
you.”
Janet didn’t even bother to look at Lila. She just looked ahead and pretended like she didn’t hear the
latter.
On the other hand, Ethan shot Lila a cold glance. “Cut the crap! Let’s go inside.”
Because she was scared of him, she couldn’t dare to disobey him. Thus, she eventually followed them
into the house, albeit reluctantly.
Thereafter, Ethan assisted Janet to sit down on the living room sofa. Until now, Johanna and Beal
hadn’t left the house. They had just finished eating breakfast and saw Janet hobbling back into the
living room not long after going out. Thus, they were concerned about her. “What happened, dear? Did
you sprain your ankle or something?”
Janet didn’t respond. She just glanced at Ethan and then she lowered her head in silence.
Meanwhile, Lila was standing at the door, staring right at Janet as her heart raced.
Ethan was as composed as ever. He told Beal and Johanna a detailed narration of what happened just
moments ago.
Upon hearing the story, the couple looked at Lila in disbelief.
Dead silence ensued in the room. Lila was so terrified that her entire body was shaking. She ran
towards Beal and Johanna, got down on her knees, and began begging for mercy.
“Mom, Dad, it was an accident. Please believe me!” Tears welled up in her eyes. She tugged at the
hem of Johanna’s dress and cried, “I really didn’t mean to hurt Janet, Mom.”
As Ethan sat on the sofa, he put his arm on Janet’s shoulder, and cast Lila a cold glance. “There are
surveillance cameras at the gate of the villa. Enough lying!”
Only solid, incriminating evidence could get Lila to tell the truth.
Thus, Johanna asked the servant to retrieve the surveillance footage.
It was indeed as Ethan had said. The surveillance footage caught Lila pushing Janet. And she shoved
her really hard!
In the video, Lila looked very furious. When she saw a car coming, she wasted no time and used the
opportunity to shove Janet.
Upon seeing the surveillance footage, Janet felt a chill in her entire body. It happened in only a few
seconds. Janet didn’t see the hatred on Lila’s face when she pushed her since she had her back
against her sister. But now she saw it crystal clear on the footage.
The look on Lila’s face showed just how much she loathed Janet and wanted the latter to die.
