Chapter 1073 His Child (12)
Shiloh saw Rose stop in her tracks and smirked with satisfaction. She gently picked up the necklace around her neck and said with a smile, “Although this necklace belonged to your mother, I don’t think she could deserve such luxury with her lowly status.”
“See how well it suits me? Don’t you agree?”
Rose immediately turned around and met Shiloh’s smug grin. Her expression turned icy as she looked at the woman with a cold gaze. “Give me back my mother’s necklace!”
“Your mother?” Shiloh chuckled lightly, speaking even more sarcastically than before. “Your mother is already dead, so naturally this necklace belongs to me now.”
“You’re not worthy of wearing my mother’s necklace!” Rose returned sternly, reaching out to take back her late mother’s possession.
As the woman approached step by step, Shiloh looked at her with malicious intent in her eyes. Suddenly taking a step forward herself, she pushed Rose forcefully towards the pond.
Caught off guard by the sudden push, Rose lost balance and fell backwards towards the pond; she was about to fall into it when she grabbed onto Shiloh’s arm tightly.
Shiloh let out a scream of terror as they both fell into the water together.
During their fall into water, Rose didn’t forget to pull off the necklace from Shiloh’s neck; it was something that belonged to her mom after all – something that needed protection.
The sound of Shiloh’s cries for help caught attention of nearby servants.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Within moments, Elliot Conner and Madeleine rushed over.
Elliot spotted Rose struggling in distance first; without hesitation he ran over quickly and jumped straight into the pond without thinking twice about his own safety.
He swam over towards where Rose was struggling but as soon as he tried grabbing hold of her hand, she started resisting him fiercely she didn’t want Elliot saving him!
Thinking about how Elliot had treated Madeleine earlier made anger boil inside of Rose. She would rather drown than be saved by someone like him!
With one swift motion, Rose pushed away Elliot’s hand which left him stunned. He saw this woman sinking down below while still being mad at him for no reason! The fury inside his heart ignited instantly. What an infuriating woman! She couldn’t even swim yet dared act tough!
His eyes narrowed dangerously as he swam closer again; wrapping his arms firmly around Rose waist before sealing their lips together tightly under water…
Rose widened her eyes in shock and wanted to resist, but unfortunately she had no strength left.
In the end, she could only let Elliot help her breathe.
Standing by the pond, Madeleine saw a scene not far away. Her hand clenched into a fist at her side and her eyes were filled with malice.
Wretched woman! She had fallen into the pond, and yet she still seduced Elliot!
“Sooner or later, I will make you disappear completely from this world!”
After being rescued, Rose was draped in a towel that Elliot had placed over her. She looked calmly at the few people nearby.
Over there, Shiloh’s aggrieved voice rang out loudly among the few people.
“Honey, this time you must stand up for me!”
“I was just trying to have a good conversation with Rose, but this child suddenly pushed me into the pond for no reason.”
“I really don’t know what I did wrong. I treated this child with all my heart and ended up in such a situation.”
Shiloh cried to Conner, her face full of sadness and anger.
Rose looked at her tearful stepmother with cold eyes, a sardonic smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. She walked over and raised her foot, kicking Shiloh, who had just climbed out of the pond, back in.
Shiloh’s words had been spoken out; wouldn’t she be wrongly accused for nothing if she didn’t do it?
With a “plop,” Shiloh fell into the pond.
Rose stood by the pond and clapped her hands gracefully.
Conner’s angry voice sounded behind her, “How ungrateful you are!”
He shouted and rushed over to hit Rose, but just as his hand was about to land on her, Elliot took a quick step forward and directly stopped Conner’s arm.
Rose calmly glanced at the man standing beside her, his eyes cold and merciless.
Madeleine hurriedly reached out to pull Shiloh up. Seeing Rose behaving so arrogantly, Madeleine felt angry and approached with a pitiful look on her face, gritting her teeth.
“Elliot, even my sister kicked my mom out. Do you still want to speak up for her?”
She said this, and even pretended to wipe away tears with a hint of choking in her voice.
“My mom has always hoped that my sister could come back and reunite our family in harmony, but she never expected my sister to treat her like this.”
After Madeleine finished speaking, she sobbed sadly a few times.
She sneered, “I don’t want to come back to this house at all.”
As she finished speaking, she was soaking wet and ready to leave.
But just as she took two steps away, Elliot called out to her, “Stop.”
Rose furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Elliot’s dark eyes with some displeasure. She instinctively thought that Elliot was going to speak up for Madeleine.
At this moment, Shiloh finally snapped out of it after falling into the pond and rushed towards her husband in a sorry state. She cried out with genuine grievances.
“Honey, I just want to get along peacefully with Rose. Why does she have to treat me like this?”
“Doesn’t she like me at all? Does she have to kick me into the pond over and over again?”
Shiloh then looked at Rose with mud mixed in tears on her face which made her look extremely disheveled:
“Do you really need me dead after losing one daughter already?”
