WantNovelChapter 335
Sarah let out a cold laugh. "Why don't you ask your daughter what she was up to last night? Did she have any
witnesses?"
Lucy's eyes flashed with panic. "What nonsense are you spouting? I... | was at hthe night before last!"
Mrs. Chancer abruptly turned to her daughter, her face stiffening as if she'd suddenly recalled something.
"Of course Lucy was at home. | know that for a fact!"
Scarlett observed the subtle glances exchanged between the two, and the truth becclear.
"Scarlett, lethandle this." Sarah's voice was calm but firm as she pushed the blanket aside and got out of
bed. She raised a hand to stop Scarlett, who had moved to support her.
Walking right up to Lucy, Sarah abruptly swung her hand.
Smack!
"You just couldn't resist pushinginto the river, could you?"
The crisp sound of the slap was almost drowned out by Sarah's furious words. Lucy staggered back, clutching her
cheek in disbelief.
"You... you hit me?!"
Scarlett turned sharply to Sarah. "Sarah, is what you said true? I'm calling the police right now!"

Lucy, finally understanding what Sarah had just revealed, hurriedly grabbed her arm. “Sarah! What are you
saying? You jumped into the river because you were upset with my brother. How could you blme for that?"
Mrs. Chancer joined in, her tone sharp. "Exactly! We chere out of concern, and this is how you repay us? You
embarrassed yourself, and now you're trying to drag Lucy down with you? How could you twist the truth like this
as her sister-in- law?"
Sarah's cold laugh cut through the room. She shook off Lucy's hand and opened her palm, revealing a bracelet.
"Lucy, when you pushedinto the river, | grabbed onto your bracelet. Are you still going to deny it?" Sarah
tossed the bracelet onto the floor.
Lucy's face turned pale. She had forgotten all about the bracelet.
"You're lying! You fell in on your own. The bracelet must've slipped off accidentally!"
Sarah's expression didn't waver. Grabbing Lucy's arm, she yanked up her wide sleeve, revealing scratches on
Lucy's forearm-scratches that were still fresh and
raw.
"These scratches? | made them when you pushedinto the river. If you weren't there, how do you explain the
bracelet and these marks?" With that, Sarah flung Lucy's arm away.
Lucy flinched, quickly covering the scratches with her sleeve. "I must've scratched myself accidentally. Besides,
why would | push you?"
"Because you hate me,” Sarah said coldly.
"I do hate you, but I didn't do this! Stop making baseless accusations!" Lucy denied vehemently, glancing
nervously at Mrs. Chancer.
"Sarah!" Mrs. Chancer snapped.

Sarah sneered. "What a performance. If you really went to get help, then bring those people here now. Let's see

"Enough. Let's leave this to the police," Scarlett said coldly.
"No!" Lucy suddenly burst into tears. "You can't call the police!"
