Listening to his words, I roughly guessed that they wanted to have a gathering and was afraid that I would go with them, thus they asked me to go home when we were at Herb Garden.
"Arianna, why are you following Hendrix wherever he goes? Why are you so thick-skinned?" Austin had always treated me poorly. When he saw me, he spoke without hesitation.
I didn't bother to explain. I just said, "I came here with my friend. You're overthinking."
I'm not the type of person to follow Hendrix around.
Andrea gave me a once-over and squinted, "Didn't you just give up the baby recently? Why are you running around already?"
"She must've felt lonely as Hendrix wouldn't touch her. I guess she has no choice but to look for another man outside," Austin said tactlessly.
I frowned, trying hard to suppress my anger. "Mr. Shelley, you should find some time to go home and gargle properly. Don't contaminate the air."
I never liked those two to begin with. I turned around, ready to leave.
However, Andrea blocked my way and sneered, "I haven't seen you for a few days and your tongue grew sharp. What's the matter? Why haven't you signed the divorce papers? The child is already gone, do you think that Hendrix will keep a woman, who had something happen in her belly, by his side?"
I held back my anger and stared at her coldly. I laughed and replied, "A woman who had something happen in her belly? Andrea, it's only been a few days, but have you forgotten about your own belly?"
"You..." Her face turned red with anger as she abruptly raised her hand.
I blocked her hand swiftly. "If you want to act all pure and innocent, then put on a proper act. If Hendrix saw this side of you, I'm afraid that he'll grow to resent you."
After swatting her hand away, I turned to leave.
Nonetheless, I did not expect that Andrea would try to frame me. When I let go of her hand, she deliberately put on an act and fell, hitting the wall beside her as she collapsed.
From a distance, it appeared like I pushed her.
Coincidentally, Hendrix and Josiah, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene with their own eyes.
