Lara's face changed dramatically when she heard what Agnes said, "Quit talking nonsense here or I'll get a lawyer and sue you for defamation."
"Mrs. Lara, you can certainly get a lawyer, but your reputation will be completely ruined by then."
Agnes pulled out a voice recorder from her pocket. Lara's voice could be heard clearly from the recorder, "So what if I pushed you down the stairs? You should have died when you were five, but you were lucky and escaped."
Lara looked at her in shock, "You actually secretly recorded me?"
Then she pointed her finger at Mamie, "Is this a trap you set?"
Agnes replied, "Mrs. Lara, unfortunately, I'm a journalism student. Carrying a voice recorder is part of my job. Now, this is the evidence of your crime."
Although Lara's hand was immovable, she stood up and rushed towards Agnes, trying to grab the recorder.
But Agnes moved quickly and easily dodged her.
Lara collided with the edge of the bed and screamed in pain again.
Agnes coldly asked, "Are you not leaving yet, or do you want me to hand over the evidence to the police right now? I will give this recording to Mamie. This is a matter for the Bartley family, I don't want to interfere. You better hope she is forgiving enough to let you go."
Lara gritted her teeth. She never thought that after bullying Mamie for so many years, she would now be caught in the act.
Agnes kindly reminded her, "If you don't get a doctor to fix your arm soon, I can't guarantee there won't be any after-effects."
Lara didn't dare to underestimate the situation and had to leave first.
The room suddenly quieted down.
