Chapter 224 She Was the One Who Pushed Me

Idris nodded, responding, "Okay, I'll arrange it in the next couple of days."

As the conversation warmed up, the atmosphere grew more pleasant. Soon, the dishes were served, covering the large round table with an array of food. Madam Young was delighted, cheerfully urging everyone to try the chef's cooking.

If Christina had not come, it was likely no one would have missed her absence. When she suddenly entered the kitchen, Madam Young was taken aback, but then quickly asked Mr. Zachary to arrange seats for her newest guest.

Since she came late, everyone was busy attending to her, as she who had been somewhat neglected.

They felt somewhat embarrassed because of it.

Emily then saw Madam Young reprimanding the Young brothers for not taking good care of their guest. She quickly interjected, "It's Christina's fault for wandering off, not Liam or Iddy's. They're busy with their work, and it's my fault for not paying enough attention. Grandma, please don't blame them."

Christina was now dressed in clean and warm clothes. She had probably caught a cold from falling into the water, as her voice was slightly hoarse. She looked at Madam Young and feigned humility, saying, "Grandma, please don't blame them. It was me who got myself lost while exploring."

On such a joyful day, Madam Young naturally did not actually pin any blame on the Young brothers. She smiled slightly and served Christina some food, saying, "The house is really big. If you like it, you can come over more often."

Hearing Madam Young's invitation, Christina nodded happily, beaming at her, "Thank you, Grandma. I'll come and visit you more often. Just don't get tired of my chatter."

"Not at all. I'm expecting you all to come by often, so I can always be this happy." Madam Young was genuinely happy, her face beaming with smiles all evening.

Christina held her utensils and smiled after listening to Madam Young's words. Then, she glanced at me as if she had something unspeakable to say and whispered, "But if I come over often, I don't know if it'll upset someone here."

Emily seemed to know her too well and frowned at this, whispering sternly, "Just eat your food."

Christina sniffled deeply due to her cold, and the sound inevitably drew the attention of the table. Madam Young, as

an elder, was concerned for her. Hence, she asked, "What's wrong?

Did you catch a cold?"

Christina put down her utensils, took a tissue before nodding slightly, and sniffled. "I think I caught a cold from falling into the water just now. It's nothing, I'll take some medicine later."

Hearing about the fall into the water, Madam Young was startled and asked, "How did you end up falling into the water all of a sudden?"

Fearing she might cause trouble, Emily quickly interjected, "This estate has many ponds in the backyard. She probably slipped into one while playing carelessly and caught a cold.

Was the One Who Pushed Me

Grandma, don't worry. After dinner, I'll take her to take some medicine, and she'll be fine."

Madam Young, somewhat relieved, nodded, "Alright, make sure you take care of it after..."

Before she could finish, Christina's voice, which was filled with grievance rang out, "It wasn't because I was playing and slipped into the pond. I was... pushed into it."

After saying this, she even raised her hand to wipe her tears, looking utterly pathetic.

Madam Young and everyone else was taken aback. "Pushed into it?" Madam Young asked, looking at her. "Who would dare to do such a thing?"

Wiping her tears, Christina looked at me with a woeful expression and carefully pointed at me, her voice barely audible. "It was her. I accidentally bumped into her, and she just..."

She did not finish her sentence, but everyone understood the implication.

Frowning, Emily looked at her. "Christina, don't talk nonsense. I didn't bring you to the Youngs' Old Manor to cause trouble."

Christina became even more aggrieved at Emily's accusation. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "I'm not talking nonsense, nor am I causing trouble. She pushed me into the pond. Em, why do you always take her side and not mine? I'm the one being bullied here!"

After saying this, she burst into loud sobs.

The pleasant dinner was now uncomfortably tense due to the chaos.

Hearing a guest repeatedly accuse me of pushing her, Madam Young turned to me. "Yvette, what exactly happened?"

Facing Christina's tearful, aggrieved expression, I calmly looked at Madam Young and said, "I didn't push her."

"You're lying." As soon as I said this, Christina glared at me with red eyes, her voice raspy with anger. "The water in the pond was so cold. Do you think I'd be such a fool to jump in myself? It's clearly because I overheard you and Em talking about your divorce from Iddy, and how you two are deceiving Grandma together. I wanted to tell Grandma, but you wouldn't let me, so you pushed me into the pond, trying to drown me."
