Yvonne's expression changed immediately. She looked extremely ashamed. "I... I didn't mean it."
She seemed very scared.
Sue didn't even look at Jacqueline who was on the ground. After putting the luggage down, she took Yvonne's hand and asked softly, "What's the matter? Can you tell me?"
Yvonne replied apologetically, "Miss Conrad was accusing me of trying to take her position as Mrs. Lancaster and she even tried to beat me up. I was so angry, I didn't hold back and kicked her, and that’s how she ended up like that. I didn't really mean it. I don't know why Miss Conrad is lying on the ground, because I obviously didn't use much strength."
After speaking, she lowered her head as she was wronged.
Jacqueline almost passed out in anger when she heard Yvonne's words.
Didn’t use much strength?
How did the coffee table fall if she didn't use much strength?
She was in so much pain that it was almost cramping. She could not even get up. Was she putting on a show?
"You... You phony b*tch..." Jacqueline glared at
Yvonne with one eye as she broke out in cold sweat.
Yvonne's eyes were red. "Miss Conrad, how can you say that I'm a phony b*tch? You obviously wanted to hit me, so I could only fight back. Besides, I really didn't use much strength. You should get up quickly, the floor is cold."
After she said that, she stepped forward and bent down as she reached out to Jacqueline, trying to pull her up.
Jacqueline looked at her pretentious gesture and raised her hand angrily as she tried to knock her hand away.
But before Jacqueline could reach Yvonne, Sue pulled Yvonne back.
"Miss Smith, ignore her. Since she’s so ignorant, why d o you even care about her? If she wants to lie there, let her be then," Sue said with a sneer.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth curved but it quickly went away. She blinked as she asked hesitantly, "But..."
"There's nothing wrong with her. She is shameless. Miss Smith, are you okay?" Sue asked with concern.
"I'm okay." Yvonne waved her hand, "Miss Conrad didn't hit me, but I hit her."
"It's okay, you were just defending yourself," Sue said a s she snickered in her heart.
Although she was getting older, she was not fooled.
She could obviously see that Miss Smith was pretending to be innocent, and she lied about not using much strength.
She could tell from Jacqueline's expression that she really was in pain and could not get up.
So Miss Smith definitely used all her strength to kick her.
But what about that? She hated Jacqueline anyway, so when she saw that Jacqueline was defeated, she pretended not to know and even helped cover it up.
Sure enough, Jacqueline passed out from anger when she heard Sue taking Yvonne's side.
When Yvonne saw that Jacqueline had passed out, her eyes flashed with joy.
"Miss Smith, have a seat. I'll settle her down and come accompany you later," Sue said to Yvonne as she helped Jacqueline up from the ground.
Yvonne nodded. "Okay, you can go ahead."
Sue groaned and walked out of the villa with Jacqueline who had passed out.
After a while, she came back again to get the suitcase she put down earlier and walked outside the villa again.
After going in and out twice in a row, Sue was tired and out of breath. "I'm old now. Really old. My strength isn’t as good as before."
Yvonne was a little sad when she heard it, but she did not show it on her face. She simply poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "Sue, have some water."
Sue was stunned for a moment, and she took the glass of water from her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Yvonne smiled.
Sue took a sip of her drink and sat down on the sofa.
Yvonne looked at her. "Sue, where did you send Miss Conrad?"
However, it was a pity that she did not get to witness Jacqueline passing out from fear.
"By the way, Miss Smith, what was the conflict between you and Jacqueline just now? Why did you girls fight?" Sue asked as she put the glass of water down.
Yvonne lowered her eyelids slightly. "It's nothing.
Miss Conrad felt that I had violated her territory and wanted to drive me away. I didn't want to, so she got into an argument with me. After that, you had to go upstairs to help her pack her luggage. She wanted to stop you, so I stopped her instead. She tried to choke m e as she was furious, so I kicked her."
"I see." Sue nodded.
Yvonne bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "I'm sorry, Sue. Actually, I lied. I kicked Jacqueline with all my might because I just didn't like her. I pretended to be innocent just to spite her, you..."
"I know." Sue cut her off with a smile.
Yvonne was stunned. "You know?"
"Yes, I knew it from the start,” Sue said while smiling.
Yvonne clenched her fists. "Then why didn’t you
expose me?"
"Because I can't stand that woman either, so I wish someone could teach her a lesson," Sue sneered.
Yvonne looked at her for a few seconds and smiled.
Sue said again, "Miss Smith, you actually took the initiative to tell me that you were pretending. I'm quite surprised."
Yvonne lowered her head slightly to conceal the sentimental look in her eyes. "Because I don't want to lie to you."
Because it was Sue who had always been so loving to her. She did not want to lie.
She didn’t want Sue to think that she was a hypocrite.
"Don't want to lie to me?" Sue's old eyes gleamed." Why would you say so? I'm probably just a nobody to you, Miss Smith. After all, we don’t even know if we will ever meet again in the future. We might not even speak again, so why do my thoughts about you matter?
