Chapter 1867 Beatrice Wouldn't Die on the Execution Ground

Twenty minutes later, in the hospital.

"I've told you so many times, don't go near the river! Don't go near the river! You're the eldest among them. It is fine to go alone, but you took them with you! Mia almost died!!"

The cane in Emily's hand fiercely struck Richie's calf.

She rarely physically punished her children.

But this time, he had made a huge mistake!

"Mom, I'm sorry!" Richie cried so hard that he was almost out of breath. "I won't do this again, and I'll be a responsible elder brother!"

"Go and apologize to Uncle Byron and Aunt Athena!" Emily was so angry that her hands were trembling.

Mark stood on the side, looking at the red marks on his son's leg from being struck. He felt pity for his son but didn't stop her.

If Mia hadn't been rescued today... It would be a massive disaster for the Timberlake and Crawford families.

Richie wouldn't understand this matter's seriousness if she didn't teach him a lesson.

"Emily," at this moment, Athena came over.

"Athena, what do you think about this matter..."

"I've asked the others. It was Mia who planned the whole escape plan," Athena's face remained unnaturally pale. "Please don't hit him again."

Richie, who had been quietly sobbing just a moment ago, suddenly looked up and burst into loud sobs upon hearing what Athena said, "That's not true! It was my birthday, and she knew I wanted to catch crabs with them, so she said she would take me there! The route to escape... the route was my idea! I'm sorry! I almost killed her. I'm not a good elder brother!"

Emily was both angry and distressed. "You always spend most of your time thinking about how to escape instead of studying. I'll beat you to death today!"

As she spoke, Emily was about to strike again.

Athena quickly grabbed her arm. "It is alright. It is not Richie's fault!"

Emily's eyes were dark and heavy. "I know!"

"Mark, take Richie home," Athena then walked up to Richie and wiped away his tears. "Richie, we can be kind, but being kind requires ensuring your safety first. If you encounter people who need help in the future, just seek help from the adults directly. Don't approach them yourself, okay?"

"Umm!"

Richie nodded.

"Don't be sad. Nothing will happen to Mia. I've pleaded with the Goddess. If anything happens, it will happen to me. She'll be fine!" said Richie while crying.

"The Goddess loves kind children the most. She won't let anything happen to Mia, and the same goes for you," Athena touched his chubby little face.

"Richie, let's go back," Mark stretched out his hand to Richie.

However, Richie looked at his mother.

Emily turned her head away, not looking at him.

Richie cried as he approached and hugged Emily. "Mom, I won't dare to do this anymore..."

"Go back with your dad," Emily still didn't look at him.

Richie choked up, loosened his grip, and looked toward Mia's ward. He then held his father's hand, crying as they walked away.

"Athena..."

"Emily, after all, she is your younger sister. I have something to tell you," Athena looked at Emily. "Her death sentence is certain, but she won't die on the execution ground." "If you need my help, just ask. The Timberlake family has some influence."

How could Emily have any compassion for Beatrice?

Her son was also on that bridge at that time!

What if Richie or Yale were pushed into the water by her?

Herbert and Ottilie wouldn't risk their lives to save them.
