Chapter 78 Falling into Hell!
Harper's heart tightened instantly as she looked sharply at Amelia.
"Amelia! Are you behind all of this?"
Amelia said indifferently, as if she hadn't heard anything, "Although Harper used to steal other people's boyfriends, she has changed now. Don't spread false rumors about her."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed instantly.
The woman who had just hit Harper thought, ‘So it is not the first time she has done such a thing.'
‘She is not worth sympathy at all.’
The woman regained her confidence and forcefully snatched Harper's phone. She smashed it hard on the ground and even stomped on it a few times.
She sneered and said, "You wanted evidence, right? Now I'll show you."
With that, she took out a stack of photos from her bag and fiercely threw them onto Harper's face.
Countless photos rained down like snowflakes.
The sharp edges cut Harper's cheek.
Everyone present saw it, and each photo was unbearable to look at and extremely vulgar.
People started to change their opinions and began talking.
"So it's true. She looks like a lady. I didn't expect her to be so crazy."
"She has no shame. No wonder she was beaten."
"I also want to slap her. She is really a disgusting woman."
...
Various offensive words filled with malicious intent came from all directions.
Harper turned slowly, like a walking corpse, and watched her Grandma tremblingly pick up the photos from the ground. She noticed the surprise and disbelief in her Grandma’s eyes.
It felt as if something had been forcefully stabbed into her body!
She wanted to tell her grandma that the photos were fabricated by that woman.
But she found her lips seemed to have been sealed at the sight of the disappointment in her Grandma’s eyes. Her throat was dry and painful.
At this moment, Harper felt like she was in hell.
A wave of clicking sounds was heard at the moment.
Someone started recording the scene with their phone. Everyone followed, uploading the photos and videos to the Internet.
Harper then received a lot of insults that trampled on her dignity. It then caused an uproar among the netizens.
Harper tried to explain in a hurry, "No... These photos are all fabricated by others with software that enables others to modify photos... The woman in those photos is not me..."
But no one listened to her explanations. They either chose to turn a deaf ear or selectively believed what they wanted to believe.
The mockery, disdain, and contempt grew even more intense.
These voices worked like a monster, lunging forward and intending to tear apart Harper's will and flesh.
Finally, Harper started trembling violently.
This was a prearranged trap.
At this moment, clarifying the truth had become unimportant.
Harper could resist these rumors because she knew she hadn't done anything wrong. She had walked the right path with integrity.
Her grandma, however, was unable to stand it...
The disappointment in her grandma’s eyes pierced Harper's heart like a sharp sword.
The suppressed emotions grew increasingly intense, and Harper couldn't bear it. She lowered her head and vomited a mouthful of blood.
But even so, there were still people who refused to let Harper go. Amelia winked at the woman who had beaten Harper just now.
The woman immediately understood that Amelia wanted her to hit Harper again until Harper had a miscarriage.
She approached, pulling on Harper's hair, and viciously said, "You wretch, how dare you not admit it!"
She raised one foot and aimed at Harper's belly.
At the critical moment, a resounding blast echoed through the air,
"Bang!"
The woman was forcefully propelled backward, accompanied by a stifled grunt of impact. Crumpled on the ground, she clutched at herself, cries of agony escaping her lips:
"Who dares?! You're begging for a world of hurt..."
Two men walked in. The black suits on them clearly showed that they were someone’s bodyguards. They kicked the woman until she couldn't speak anymore.
The remaining few women were much easier to deal with. Frightened, they ran away like rats.
Initially, this matter had nothing to do with them. They got themselves involved for the money.
Amelia was angry. She set up such a big trap just to make it look like an accident, intending to cause an accidental miscarriage to Harper.
The woman and the photos were all prepared in advance.
Amelia thought the woman she hired could get away by throwing an excuse that they made a mistake and hit the wrong person, or worse, they could resolve the matter by paying a sum of money as compensation.
Who knew that someone else would suddenly appear and get involved?
Amelia sarcastically said, "Looks like another man who has an affair with you come to help you, huh? Harper, you're really something. You had..."
The man suddenly turned his face, revealing an elegant and cold face. Shocked, Amelia was lost for words for a moment.
Amelia thought, ‘How could it be...’
Amelia closed her mouth, not daring to breathe.
The man's gaze did not linger on Amelia. He said lightly, "Check everyone's phones. Not a single video can be leaked. If anyone refuses to delete it, ask the legal department to send them a lawyer's letter!"
His voice seemed calm, but everyone present could sense the determination in it.
The two bodyguards acted swiftly, and soon there was no one left in the ward. The women who caused trouble were also taken out by the two bodyguards.
Only Amelia was left in her original spot. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave, but her legs were weak at the moment.
"Uncle Aurelio..." Amelia stammered.
Aurelio Getty glanced at Amelia. "Your behavior today has brought embarrassment to the Getty family."
"Uncle Aurelio, I didn't mean to... I was just passing by... It has nothing to do with me..."
"Leave now. Someone will talk about this matter with you." Aurelio’s deep voice was calm, but Amelia couldn't help but shiver, almost on the verge of crying.
Amelia thought, ‘What exactly did Uncle Aurelio mean?
‘Who exactly would talk about that with me…’
Afterward, Amelia was also dragged out.
The ward suddenly became quiet.
Harper seemed completely oblivious to everything.
Harper hunched over, trembling slightly, and almost crawled to her grandma's side.
Harper carefully embraced her grandma, who was trembling like a withered leaf.
Harper found that her grandma was so frail as if she could depart at any moment.
She looked at Harper, unable to speak, just staring at Harper and trying desperately to say something...
Harper had never felt so afraid in her heart.
Tears of fear streamed down, blurring her vision.
"Grandma, don't believe what they said... Don't believe any of it... Don't believe that...
"I didn’t... I never... I never did anything that would shame our family..."
Harper's eyes were red, filled with tears.
Once again, Harper’s grandma tried to say something, but all she got was rapid and desperate gasps.
Caregiver pressed the call button by the bedside, and the nurse and doctor hurriedly arrived.
"Prepare for emergency treatment!"
Upon the command, the nurse immediately took action, preparing to lift Harper’s grandma onto the bed.
But Harper’s grandma tightly clung to Harper's clothes with all her strength...
Harper quickly lowered her body, pressing her ear against her grandma's mouth.
Harper heard her grandma say with all her strength, "Harper... Grandma... trust you... Live a good life... It's my fault... I'm sorry to you..."
After saying what she wanted, Harper’s grandma slowly loosened her grip on Harper’s clothes.
The atmosphere in the room became a bit depressed. Harper was overwhelmed with grief.
