Dustin hit Emilia pretty hard. She fell into Marcos's embrace and passed out.
Blood trickled slowly down her head, stunning everyone.
"Emilia... my daughter! Call an ambulance!" Lainey was the fastest. She rushed up to hold Emilia and shouted hoarsely.
Marcos was flustered, too. He held Emilia in his arms and stayed where he was.
Fortunately, Charlotte reacted in time and called the ambulance.
It was going pretty much the way Aleigha thought. The only thing she didn't count on was Dustin hitting Emilia so hard.
Though Aleigha got what she came for, she was afraid to relax. Dustin was a suspicious man. She didn't think he totally trusted her.
She decided to wait and see.
Lainey's pregnancy gave her some new ideas.
The ambulance arrived soon, but was stopped by the reporters outside. Lainey waited for a long time with Emilia in her arms, crying and stroking her hair.
She was filled with hate and she was trying to hold it in. She hated herself for being useless, hated Marcos, hated Dustin, and even more hated Aleigha.
Dustin acted like he didn't know Emilia was bleeding. He was in a positive fury, and he didn't even care if she was okay.
Was he tough? No, it was his mercy that made Emilia what she was.
She did the wrong thing and blamed someone else for it. He was too disappointed.
"Charlotte, take me back to my room. Aleigha, come with me."
Dustin's indifference made Lainey understand the place her daughter and she held in his heart.
She felt upset, but there was nothing she could do.
"D*mn it!" Marcos slumped on the sofa, irritably rubbing his hair.
"Marcos, why isn't the ambulance here yet?" Lainey asked in a low, soft voice.
Marcos looked up at her and walked out silently.
As soon as he went out, he saw Dominic coming in with medical staff. He turned around and hurriedly led the way. Only then did Emilia leave the Gardner Residence under siege from the
reporters.
Within a day, the scandal of the Gardner family quickly spread around the city.
Adrian put down the newspaper. The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he tapped rhythmically on the table.
After entering the room, Dustin asked Charlotte to give him and Aleigha some privacy.
Aleigha did not know what Dustin wanted to do, so she just quietly stood there.
"Aleigha, do you have anything to do with this matter?"
Aleigha looked at Dustin with a hint of grievance in her clear eyes.
"Grandpa, don't you believe me?
"I know you don't like me because I grew up in the countryside. I'm not as capable as my sister.
"But... it's not my fault. If I'd grown up in the Gardner family, I'd have been around a lot, giving you shoulder and back rubs, and maybe you'd have liked me.
