Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Betting Life on It
"Grandpa, I didn’t push her! She fell by herself!" Raising her face, Summer Sutton spoke calmly.
Even though she knew no one would believe her words, she couldn’t bear the dumb loss.
Upon hearing her words, Betty Chapman was instantly irate, "Summer Sutton, is that what you call human speech? You say Gina fell by herself? Who would be that stupid? She’s already in the Walyon Family, why wouldn’t she be a proper young madam, and instead fall so badly, like she’s committing suicide? Do you believe your own words?"
"Now she’s pregnant with the Walyon Family’s bones, a child of the Walyon Family—how many women would fight to have one? How could she be that foolish?"
"Summer Sutton, I’ve watched you grow up; I’ve always known you’re indifferent, but I never thought you’d be heartless to this extent! Being heartless is one thing, but after doing the deed, you shift the blame onto Gina!"
Pointing at Summer Sutton, she scolded her with each sentence.
"Why she fell, that’s something for her to answer once she wakes up." Summer Sutton’s eyes coldly turned to her, without any ripple in her gaze.
Her indifference only fueled Betty Chapman’s anger.
In her rage, Betty Chapman almost raised her hand to hit her in front of so many people.
Then, with a glance at others in the room, she controlled her impulse.
Bryce Walyon clearly didn’t believe Summer Sutton’s account either.
Who would believe the words of a perpetrator?
Who wouldn’t try to find excuses for their own huge mistake?
Summer Sutton’s words were considered an excuse to shirk guilt by him.
Compared to Summer Sutton’s account, Betty Chapman’s words made more sense.
In a family like the Walyon Family, who wouldn’t want to be a part?
Having a child is not easy, and having one, who would be foolish enough to gamble away their own life by losing the child?
Thinking with even the tiniest bit of common sense, such a thing wouldn’t happen!
"Dad, do you think this is possible?" With a stern face, Bryce Walyon turned his gaze to the elderly man beside him, letting him judge for himself.
The Old Master in the Walyon Family sank his gaze, hands continuously pounding his chest.
He was clearly quite angry over this matter.
Ever since Gina Sutton was known to have a child, he was the most hopeful for the child’s birth in the family.
At such an age, finally having a great-grandchild, the Old Master’s fondness for the child was seen by everyone in the Walyon Family.
Even while the child was still in the womb, a lavish nursery was crafted at great expense!
What Gina Sutton ate and used were the very best, all due to the Old Master’s affection for his great-grandchild!
Now, with last night’s sudden fall, everything was lost.
The Old Master’s blood pressure kept rising, nearly fainting in the hospital room.
To Bryce Walyon’s words, he made no response, merely shifted his gaze to a servant, "Tell me about last night’s situation!"
The servant he looked at was the first to arrive at the scene of the accident last night.
Upon arriving, Gina Sutton wasn’t yet rolled down the stairs.
From the servant’s perspective, Summer Sutton’s hand was grasping Gina Sutton’s, and then Gina Sutton rolled down the stairs.
In her view, it was Summer Sutton who pushed Gina Sutton.
He had no intention of framing anyone; the Elder asked, and he simply spoke the truth.
"Last night, the young madam and Miss Sutton were engaged in an intense altercation. Miss Sutton was constantly crying for help; upon hearing it, I rushed over immediately. Perhaps I saw a few more seconds than the others in the house, and when I arrived, the young madam was clutching Miss Sutton’s hand, then Miss Sutton rolled down."
He was genuinely recounting what he saw.
Upon expressing it, he felt somewhat guilty.
