Chapter 21 Why Does the Heart Still Hurt
If she admitted that what Linda said was true, John and Lucinda would definitely think that she was lying.
This was exactly why the angelic bitch always won.
To tell the truth, no one would believe it. To tell lies, that would be an indirect confession. Neither could wash her off the charge.
However...
"As she said, she did see it right and fell down."
Linda's eyes flashed with complacency when she saw the rising anger in John and Lucinda, but it was not enough for her.
"Mom, Dad, see, I told you what I said was true. My sister really didn't push me. I accidentally fell down. Don't be angry with her."
John said in a commanding manner, "Apologize to your sister."
But Lucinda was dissatisfied and added, "No dinner for you tonight. Being hungry can make you clear your head and know what to do and what not to do."
"Indeed, there should be an apology. But it is she who should apologize to me."
Roslin raised her hand to interrupt when John and Lucinda were just about to lose their temper. She said, "Hold on."
"What else do you want to say?" Lucinda kind of wanted to see what else this damn girl could say.
Roslin raised her finger to a maid and said, "Come here."
The maid stepped forward in surprise, and just as she walked in front of Roslin, suddenly, Roslin gave her a hard push, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone around was surprised, and the maid looked at her in shock.
Roslin looked at John and asked, "Do you understand now?"
John was not Lucinda, and how could he not understand now? He looked at Linda coldly.
His sharp look made Linda shiver. She muttered, "Dad, I..."
Should he blame her?
No, he couldn't because she had said that it was her own fault, and they didn't believe her.
John looked at Lucinda and said, "Don't make a fuss when you don't know what's going on."
Lucinda was dumbfounded by his words, "Honey, what do you mean? Do you believe what she said? Linda is the one who is hurt now, and you're still on her side. Didn't you see what she did just now? Look how skilled she was when pushing Marisol.
John didn't even want to talk to this idiot.
Roslin smiled and said, "It is understandable that Mrs. Smith didn't see it clearly. Don't be angry." The last sentence was addressed to John.
"What does it mean?"
The surrounding maids and even Linda didn't understand it.
Roslin pointed to the maid on the ground and said word by word: "See the direction she fell to the ground. If I pushed her, after she fell to the ground, she should be in a posture of falling backwards because of inertia. Look again at your precious daughter's posture just now, she was leaning forward. I was in front of her, and how could I push her from behind?"
Lucinda was stunned, but reacted quickly and asked, "Linda, did she push you from behind?"
What Roslin said just now startled Linda. She really didn't think about it, but Lucinda's words came to the rescue. That little bitch almost got away with it.
"Mom, Roslin didn't push me from behind." While speaking, she gasped in pain, which immediately made Lucinda's heart ache. She looked at Roslin with more dissatisfaction.
Roslin's slightly lowered eyes flashed a hint of smugness.
She was ready to see how they would defend themselves now.
Roslin rested her chin on one hand, blinked her big eyes, and said leisurely, "Oh, this is very difficult. Everyone seems to be reasonable. But... it is different between pushing you from the back and from the front. Especially, judging from the place where she fell, it can be seen that the person who pushed her behind must be standing on the stairs. The injury caused by falling from the stairs is different from that on the flat ground. Just check it and it will be clear."
