Willa was very proficient in acting. When she cried, she looked as if she was the most miserable woman in the world. In combination with Madam Shaw's angry and obstinate expression, people might think this was some kind of show.
"You... What the hell are you talking about?" Luna looked at Willa in disbelief.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's all my fault. I shouldn't talk so much." Willa looked back at Luna with despair all over her face. "Julian is gone, and there is no one to protect us from you. Madam Wright, I don't expect to get all the assets back. I just hope that you can spare us and stop hounding us."
After saying that, Willa knocked her forehead on the ground with a loud thud.
To make her performance even more realistic, she kept knocking her forehead very hard until the skin on her forehead scraped against the gravel and a red stain appeared on the ground.
"Why are you doing this to yourself, Willa?" Madam Shaw went forward to pick her up from the ground as she cried, "Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think of your baby.”
"Mom, everything comes in threes. Since they failed to kill my baby with their first attempt, they will keep coming for us until they finally achieve their goal. There is no way I can escape from them!" Willa sobbed.
Then, Madam Shaw and Willa hugged and cried on each other's shoulders.
Luna, Serenity, and Anna did not know
what to say.
They wanted to curse out loud, but they could not do that right now.
There were more and more onlookers around. Even though Anna and Serenity wanted to have a fall-out with them, they were worried about the kids.
Thus, Serenity ordered the bodyguards to pull the two women away. In any case, they had to get the children back home first.
However, as soon as the bodyguard touched Willa's arm, she let out a shriek and her face contorted into a fearful expression. "Let go of me, let go of me! Please don't hurt my baby..."
The bodyguard was speechless.
"You have gone overboard!" Madam Shaw looked furiously at the Wrights. "Do you really want us dead so much?"
Serenity could not hold back anymore and sneered, "Who has been going overboard here since the beginning? It has only been a month since Julian and Susan went missing, yet you couldn't wait any longer to split his assets. Just how much do you wish they will never come back?"
"Stop slandering me." Madam Shaw's eyes were bloodshot. "Julian is my son, so how is there any chance I don't wish he will come back? I just couldn't stand seeing his assets end up in your hands, his daughter's hands, and the hands of that b*stard over there.”
Madam Shaw pointed viciously at Chesney and Lucas.
The kids had a blank expression on their faces. However, when they saw Madam Shaw pointing at them, Chesney shrank back and her body started quaking with fear.
"Don't mind them, Chessie. It’s alright, it’s alright..." Serenity hastily comforted her.
Willa swiveled her eyes in their sockets as she thought of something. She suddenly realized that the two kids were her breakthrough points.
She scrambled toward Chesney and dropped to her knees in front of her.
"Chessie, I know it’s not your fault for lying and saying that I stabbed myself. I know you are a good girl, and I guess you can understand your father very well. If you still love your father, you should step forward and give back everything that should belong to your brother,” Willa said as she knocked her head on the ground repeatedly.
Chesney was startled by her and broke into tears. "What are you talking about? Chessie didn't lie. You stabbed yourself!"
A pitiful expression crept onto Willa’s face as she said, "Okay, okay, it was me. I stabbed myself. But are you really going to ignore your father's wish? Those things do not belong to you. How can you be so selfish as to hog them?"
"Chesney, your mother was a selfish and greedy woman. You shouldn’t learn from her and take things that are not yours," Madam Shaw said sternly. "You should give up your inheritance rights now and give everything to your brother.”
Madam Shaw and Willa were trying to intimidate a little girl.
Anna and Serenity were so angry that they almost exploded. Even though a lot of people were watching them, they really wanted to kill these two.
"Stop it!" Luna tugged at both of them. Her expression was cold.
Considering the situation, it would be harder for them to explain if Anna and Serenity hit them here.
