Chapter 439 Once, I Was a Member of the Wellington Family
"Mrs. Wellington! I heard the girl who was harmed was your maid, is that true?" The reporter thrust the microphone in Tiffany's face.
Tiffany wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief. "Yes, Kimberly was my maid. She was simple and kind, and she worked diligently for our family for many years. We all liked her very much."
"Although Kimberly always took care of my sister Molly, I always treated Kimberly like my own sister. We never treated her poorly in terms of food, clothing, or anything else." Debra cried dramatically.
At this moment, she didn't forget to take a jab at Molly!
The reporters nodded in approval, "Ms. Wellington, despite being from a wealthy family, you truly have a kind heart."
"Kimberly's funeral, as her employer, I must attend her funeral out of both emotion and reason." Tiffany cried in front of the cameras.
Reporter asked, "How do you plan to handle Kimberly's affairs?"
"Although Kimberly died accidentally, the Wellington family failed to carefully monitor the situation of every employee, so we also bear some responsibility."
"Therefore, we have prepared some compensation to express our condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life, but we will do our utmost to comfort and take care of her family."
The reporters couldn't help but sigh, and their previously low opinion of Tiffany improved significantly.
Tiffany and Debra walked towards the cemetery under the protection of bodyguards.
The reporters followed closely, their cameras probing wildly.
Suddenly, Tiffany and Debra's bodies stiffened, and their pupils contracted!
In front of them was a large group of people from the Taylor family!
The cold, oppressive atmosphere made their hearts leap into their throats!
Evelyn and Edward stood side by side, their expressions identical, with flames of anger burning in their eyes, as if they wanted to kill them!
Tiffany managed to keep her composure, but Debra, frightened by Evelyn's sharp, hateful gaze, felt as if she was being strangled and couldn't breathe!
"Ms. Taylor, respect the dead." Tiffany, with her red and swollen eyes, looked mournfully at Evelyn, "No matter what grudges you have against me, I came here today just to pay my last respects to Kimberly."
Before she could finish, Evelyn's eyes widened slightly, and she took a step forward.
The people and bodyguards behind her also took a step forward, scaring Tiffany and Debra into retreating, their faces pale.
Even the group of reporters behind them retreated frequently!
The deterrent power of Evelyn and Edward was no joke!
The sons of the Taylor family stood behind Evelyn, like an unbreakable shield, giving her a strong sense of security.
Due to his special job, Ulysses couldn't appear in front of the media, so he could only watch everything from the shadows with a grim expression.
But, if anyone dared to touch his Evelyn, he had a thousand ways to make them die on the spot, not even knowing how they died!
"Anyone can come to pay their respects to Kimberly, except for you two." Evelyn's eyes were filled with hatred as she spat out each word.
"Why? Why can't we go in?" Debra's question was incredibly stupid at this moment.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's because you don't deserve it."
Everyone was puzzled.
"Evelyn! You're just bullying us with your power, don't go too far!" Debra's face twisted with anger.
She habitually raised her hand to point at Evelyn's face, but Tiffany quickly grabbed her, "Ms. Taylor, we came here with good intentions, sincerely wanting to pay our last respects to Kimberly."
"Let's not bring our grudges to the forefront at this time, it would damage the reputation of both families and disturb the peace of the deceased."
Tiffany's words seemed earnest, playing the role of an elder, while subtly portraying Evelyn as someone who didn't know how to behave appropriately.
Evelyn's lips curled slightly, her gaze piercing through Tiffany's hypocritical facade, "You are the ones disturbing the peace of the deceased. Just by standing here, you are the greatest insult to the deceased!"
"Tiffany, Debra, you know very well what you did to Kimberly. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Everyone was shocked, and the scene erupted in chaos!
What did Evelyn mean by that? Could Kimberly's death be related to Tiffany and Debra?
Edward's heart tightened, and he looked deeply at Evelyn's pale, angry face, his large hand silently gripping her waist.
He could feel her trembling, so he increased the pressure of his palm, sending waves of warmth into her body, giving her enough security and encouragement.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up for her because of his status.
But he knew very well that some accounts had to be settled by Evelyn herself, so she could vent her anger and resolve her grievances.
Tiffany and Debra were filled with fear, their expressions gradually twisting!
At this moment, the media behind them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
"Ms. Taylor, what do you mean by that? Do you think we killed Kimberly?" Tiffany questioned with red eyes.
"Did I say you killed her? I didn't say anything." Evelyn shrugged slightly, her expression full of mockery, "I didn't say anything, and you're already so anxious. Did you have something to do with Kimberly's death?"
The reporters looked at each other and started frantically taking pictures of Tiffany and Debra!
Tiffany glared at Evelyn with hatred, wishing she could pounce on her and crush her bones!
"You, as the owners of the Wellington family, are usually arrogant and domineering, wantonly beating and torturing the servants, not treating them as human beings at all."
"Now you come here pretending to be good people, making both the living and the dead uncomfortable. I said you would face retribution. Is there a problem with that?" Evelyn's eyes hinted at a brewing storm.
Edward looked at her in amazement, his admiration and appreciation for her evident.
As expected of his woman, she was truly smart, wise, and quick-witted!
Although they all knew Kimberly had been killed by them, they had no evidence. If they openly accused Tiffany of being the murderer, Tiffany could easily sue Evelyn for defamation, putting herself in a passive position.
So, Evelyn's words were deliberately ambiguous.
She both provoked the guilty Tiffany, giving the media endless imagination, and hit them where it hurt, shattering their plans!
Tiffany hated Evelyn to the core, and hated herself even more for not anticipating this move!
"Evelyn! You're slandering us with baseless accusations!"
Debra was completely panicked, feeling her carefully maintained image was about to collapse, she immediately jumped out to denounce, "I know you don't like me and my mother, but you can't distort the truth and slander us like this! This is defamation! I can sue you."
Her last few words grew weaker.
Because at this moment, Edward's cold stare made her shiver, as if a sharp knife was pressed against her throat!
"I'm just stating the facts. As for how I know, it's because I lived in Riverside Villa, by your side, for three whole years." Evelyn's expression was icy, intimidating.
Everyone was shocked!
Lived for three years, what did that mean?
How could Evelyn have lived in Riverside Villa for three years?
Not only the media, but even Tiffany, Debra, Edward, and Evelyn's brothers standing behind her were all dumbfounded!
"Evelyn, you."
Edward's eyes narrowed, just as he was about to speak, Evelyn's resolute words followed, "I know very well what kind of people you are and what kind of dirty deeds you've done over the years. Because I am Edward's ex-wife. I was once a member of the Wellington family!"
