Chapter 821 She Pushed Her
Emmeline looked up at Kayla in silence.
Then, Kayla said softly, "To tell you the truth, I've made a bet with Jara."
Despite hearing that, Emmeline remained silent.
"If he loses this bet, he'll have to marry me. If he wins, I'll leave this place and stay away from him for the rest of his life," Kayla added.
With that, Emmeline scoffed, "Well, this has nothing to do with me."
Right away, Kayla stretched out her index finger and gently shook it. "No, no, no. This matter is closely related to you."
As she spoke, she leaned over and whispered in Emmeline's ear, "Do you want to know who he cares about the most?"
Once Emmeline heard Kayla's words, her eyes flickered. With a frown, she stared at Kayla.
"What do you mean?"
Kayla replied smilingly, "Oh, you might not know about this. Currently, Jara has a big plan, and in this plan, I play an important part."
"I bet with him that if I can come back alive after completing his plan, he will marry me, but before that, you must leave."
Instantly, Emmeline's eyes turned cold.
Although Kayla's voice was light, it seemed like there was a spell to it that could drag Emmeline into an abyss.
"Between you and benefit, he chose benefit. However, I am still not satisfied. I want to see who will he choose between you and me if no interest is involved."
Hearing that, Emmeline started to have a bad feeling.
Just as expected, Kayla suddenly stood up, grabbed her hand, and screamed, "Calm down, Emmeline! Please listen to me!"
At that time, Kayla was already leaning against the railing.
Seeing that, Emmeline was shocked.
The next second, Kayla cried, "What are you doing? Argh!"
Kayla fell off from the railing.
At once, everyone who was nearby turned pale with fright.
Then, they hurriedly ran over only to see Kayla had fallen into the lake. Meanwhile, Emmeline's hand was still in the air, which made her seemed like she had pushed Kayla.
Shocked, Millay shouted, "Miss Illington, how can you do this? Miss Burke can't swim!"
As soon as she finished her words, everyone went ashen.
Suddenly, they heard a rush of footsteps. When they turned back, they found that someone was already standing at the top of the stairs.
When Jara heard what Millay said, he immediately turned around and ran downstairs.
With that, Emmeline's heart missed a beat.
A bad feeling welled up in her heart. As expected, she soon heard someone screaming downstairs.
"Argh! It's Mr. Holland! He jumped into the water!"
Right away, everyone rushed downstairs.
As for Emmeline, she was following them in the back, looking a little pale.
On the way there, she heard Yunne, who was pushing her wheelchair, swore in a low voice, "That b*tch!"
Surprised, Emmeline asked her, "Did everyone see me push her just now?"
To that, Yunne nodded before she added, "Unless that person is air-headed, anyone could tell that you wouldn't push her. It's obvious that she jumped down on purpose."
"What do you mean?"
"If you really have the intention to kill her, you will have a hundred ways to do it in discreet. Why would you push her in public? Isn't that putting yourself in trouble?"
Hearing her words, Emmeline felt relieved.
Deep down, she believed that no matter how deep Jara's prejudice against her was, he wouldn't be muddle-headed to that extent.
His judgment wouldn't be worse than a servant, right?
Having that thought, she recomposed herself. Then, with the help of Yunne, she rushed toward the pond.
By the pond.
A large group of people had gathered around. This incident had not only alarmed most of the servants in Tower B, but even Uncle Poick had rushed over after hearing the news.
At this moment, Jara had lifted Kayla from the pond and placed her on the ground.
His shirt and pants were drenched, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead. Overall, he looked disheveled.
Upon seeing that, Uncle Poick was anxious.
"Mr. Holland, you are in poor health. How can you do such a dangerous thing? What if an accident happens?"
As if he didn't care, Jara waved his hand. "Call the doctors over."
Meanwhile, Kayla had already passed out. Seeing this, Uncle Poick quickly ordered someone to call the doctor. Then, he asked a servant to bring a towel and wrapped it around Jara's body.
After Jara took the towel, he wiped his face.
At the same time, Emmeline arrived.
Their eyes met in the air. Immediately, Jara's eyes turned cold, and he strode towards her.
Then, he grabbed Emmeline's chin.
Staring at her with his dark eyes, he glowered, "I told you not to touch her. Why didn't you listen to me?"
Although Emmeline was forced to raise her head, her expression was calm.
"I didn't do it."
She uttered balantly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Millay, who was next to her, screamed.
"Nonsense! It was you who pushed her. I know you have always looked down on Miss Burke, but she is kind to you. Why do you have to keep going against her? Do you hate her that much?"
Hearing that, Yunne was also pissed off.
"Shut up! Have you seen Miss Illington pushed Miss Burke with your own eyes? Obviously, Miss Burke fell by accident."
"Oh! Really? Do you even know what you're saying? Who would be that careless to fall from such a high railing?"
"Miss Burke, of course!"
The two of them quarreled for a while.
With that, Jara's face darkened, and he let out a furious roar, "Enough!"
In an instant, the surrounding became quiet.
After Yunne and Millay realized that they had lost their composure in front of Jara, they got nervous.
On the contrary, Emmeline was calm the whole time.
"I didn't push her. She was the one who came over, grabbed my hand, and fell off by herself. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance camera," she spoke.
Even so, someone retorted, "There is no security camera here!"
Stunned, Emmeline furrowed her brows.
Immediately, she looked up to the balcony. Sure enough, due to the location, the balcony was the only place without a surveillance camera in Tower B.
Knowing about that, she was rooted to the spot.
After that, Jara scowled at her and asked, "What else do you want to say?"
Upon hearing Jara's words, Emmeline pursed her lips.
She had nothing to say.
At that moment, she realized that Kayla was not here to give her something, nor to show off. From the very beginning, Kayla had planned to frame her.
So, Kayla deliberately took the chance and chose the balcony. It was to make sure that no one could provide any evidence to prove her innocence.
When Emmeline thought of this, her eyes darkened.
With that, she couldn't help but recall that incident from four years ago. At that time, she was also caught in a helpless situation because of a woman.
