Chapter 774 Three People United Against a Common Enemy
Ursula covered her nose, tears welling up. "Aunt Yvette, my nose is crooked."
A crooked nose was a minor issue; the main problem was that Edric saw her embarrassing moment!
This ruined her perfect image in Edric's eyes.
It was all because of that, Willow!
"How could this happen?" Fiona asked.
Ursula looked at Willow, angrily pointing at her. "She hit me!"
Following her finger, Fiona looked over and felt like she was exploding.
But when she saw that it was Willow, she frowned, displeased. "So it's Willow, why did you hit Ursula?"
Willow pretended to be surprised. "Aunt Fiona, you know each other?"
Fiona said, "Yes, Ursula is my guest."
Willow immediately put on a remorseful look.
"I'm really sorry, Aunt Fiona. I didn't mean to hit her; I just lost control. You don't understand; she had the nerve to flirt with the man I brought when I was not around. You know I just went through a breakup, and I'm feeling down."
Willow's breakup was also caused by Edric.
Fiona knew about this matter, and she knew Willow had a spoiled temperament.
So what Willow just said was believable.
Fiona furrowed her brows, looking at Ursula with suspicion.
Ursula had just tried to seduce another man.
Seeing Fiona's scrutinizing gaze, Ursula was both angry and anxious.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, Aunt Fiona, don't believe her, I didn't do it!"
"You didn't, but I saw it with my own eyes."
Willow pulled a young man next to her and asked, "Tell me, did she try to seduce you just now?"
The man hurriedly reassured, "Willow, darling, please don't be angry; I really wasn't interested in her; she shamelessly approached me!"
Ursula was furious. "I didn't; you actively came to talk to me!"
The man glanced at her, looking innocent. "Miss, I just noticed some dirt on your skirt and was trying to be kind by pointing it out. Is that also considered hitting on someone? It's really hard to be a good person these days. The moment you try to do something nice, you get accused!"
"You!"
Ursula was both angry and anxious, looking at Fiona with a desperate gaze, almost on the verge of tears.
"Aunt Fiona, I didn't do it, I really didn't; you have to believe me; you know who I have in my heart."
Fiona had doubts, but seeing Ursula's desperate and agitated state, she thought about it.
'Ursula knew I was trying to match her with Edric, so naturally, she had Edric in her heart.'
'Ursula wouldn't go after other men again.'
'So it could only be a misunderstanding on Willow's part.'
'Willow was in a bad mood and misunderstood Ursula.'
Thinking this, Fiona's expression softened.
"Alright, I believe you, let's not talk about it now, I'll have Edric take you to the hospital."
Saying that, she looked at Edric. "Edric, take Ursula to the hospital for a check-up."
In the crowd, Nora, Becky, and Jenny stood together, watching the drama unfold.
Becky looked smug, whispering to the other two, "Well, I told you Willow would find a way to teach Ursula a lesson."
Jenny couldn't help but smile and quietly gave Becky a thumbs up.
Nora also didn't hold back, giving Becky an approving look.
Not only did they use Willow to teach Ursula a lesson, but they also labeled Ursula as a promiscuous woman.
This way, Fiona wouldn't like her.
However, Fiona didn't seem to fall for it.
Not only did she believe Ursula, but she also wanted Edric to take Ursula to the hospital!
The smile on Nora's face faded slightly.
Beside her, Becky spoke up before her.
"Mr. Bishop, who is this crooked-nosed woman to you that you have to personally take her to the hospital?"
Edric looked at Nora, Becky, and Jenny standing together, his gaze deep, suddenly understanding.
Nora, Becky, and Jenny seemed to have united against a common enemy now.
It was Becky who was chosen to interrogate him.
"She is a guest who came to our house," Edric replied.
Becky turned her gaze, taunting, "So today she's just tagging along with you and Jenny for a free meal and drinks?"
At this, Fiona furrowed her brows, looking displeased.
"What kind of talk is that? What are you saying?"
Becky looked at her, smiling. "Sorry, Mrs. Bishop, I'm a straightforward person; I like to speak my mind. I hope someone as cultured as you won't stoop to my level!"
Her words sounded fine, but upon closer inspection, they were intriguing.
If Fiona were to stoop to Becky's level, she would also be uncultured!
Seeing Fiona speechless, Nora subtly smirked, feeling somewhat satisfied.
Fiona was lucky to have a kind daughter-in-law like Jenny.
If she encountered someone like Becky, she wouldn't have an easy time!
Fiona glared at Becky, maintaining an attitude of not arguing with younger generations, then looked at Edric.
"Edric, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Before Edric could respond, Becky chimed in again, "Mr. Bishop, your wife is still here, she just accidentally twisted her foot, shouldn't you hurry to comfort her?"
At this moment, Edric felt like he was being manipulated.
Upon hearing this, he suddenly felt nervous and looked at Jenny.
"Honey, are you okay?"
Jenny was speechless.
She was fine, she was perfectly fine!
But she couldn't ruin Becky's plan!
She had to put on an act.
"Nothing serious, just a little pain."
'What a little pain.'
'At this moment, Jenny had to act fragile to evoke Edric's sympathy!'
Nora discreetly pinched her waist.
Jenny instinctively let out a cry.
Nora calmly withdrew her hand, standing silently.
Edric frowned and quickly walked over to Jenny, supporting her and looking concerned.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
"No need, just rest a bit."
Jenny forced a smile and glanced at Nora.
Seeing Nora wink at her, she bit her lip, lowered her gaze, and had to exert some effort to suppress her smile.
It was truly a drama among the three women.
Nora and Becky were quite good at acting!
Fiona watched helplessly as Edric helped Jenny leave, almost fuming.
"Edric!" Fiona shouted.
"Aunt Fiona, don't worry, I'll have my driver take Ms. Ford to the hospital," Nora interjected at the right moment.
Across from them, Aaron understood and called out, "Frederick!"
Frederick promptly appeared, respectfully asking, "Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, what can I do for you?"
"Help us take Ms. Ford to the hospital for a check-up," Aaron said.
"Understood." Frederick replied.
Fiona was very angry, but considering Aaron and Nora's status, she couldn't vent her anger on them.
She didn't need a driver at all.
She had drivers waiting outside.
What she wanted was for Edric to accompany Ursula to the hospital!
