Hannah dragged Helen through the crowd and threw her out in front of everyoneâs surprised gaze.
âDonât come back again,â Hannah said loudly. âI wonât be polite to you anymore!â
After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.
The crowd was shocked to see the scene.
What is going on?
After hearing the news, Blair quickly helped Helen and accused her, âMs. Hannah, how could you treat your grandmother like this? Sheâs an old lady. You shouldnât treat her like this even if she did something wrong! â
âShe is old. She came to see you because she misses you. Itâs not easy for her. Why do you have to treat her like this?â
Hannah gritted her teeth and said loudly, âIt is not easy for her because she is old. Does that mean itâs easy for me to be her granddaughter?â
She did not know how to restrain herself, nor did she know how to put on a facade.
In the eyes of others, she looked very immature.
The people around them finally snapped out of surprise and were even more shocked.
âIs this Ms. Hannah? Is this her grandmother?â
âWhy did she drive her grandmother out?â
âI donât know what happened, but I think no matter what, she shouldnât have done this. Itâs too inhumane.â
Whispers spread among the people, making it difficult to hide their disapproval as they witnessed a child mistreating an older adult.
The childâs behavior, driving her grandmother away and hurling curses at her, was disheartening, especially considering that they were unaware of the complete story behind the incident.
We should not judge without knowing the full story, but how many people could do that?
What people believe in the most are always themselves, and what they are talking about is largely influenced by their own biases.
Instead of standing up for Hannah, Helen chose to exploit the uncertainty of the passers-by and manipulated Hannahâs sense of morality by using their opinions.
Anyway, she had already been kicked out. What else did she need to worry about?
âHannah.â Hannahâs grandmother cried, âI canât give you a wealthy life, not as good as your grandmother.â
âBut I just came to see you. Why are you treating me like this? My heart hurts so much.â
âIâm useless. Itâs ok if you donât like grandma. Today is your uncleâs wedding, donât be angry. I will leave now.â
Helen stood tremblingly, wiping her tears as she walked, looking pitiful.
As expected, Blairâs sympathy overflowed.
To be honest, even if the Holy Mother Ghost was not sitting on his head, he could not sit by and do nothing.
The old lady was too pitiful. âOld lady, donât go.â Blair grabbed Helenâs arm and supported her. âThis is not right.â
He looked at Hannah again and sighed helplessly, âMs. Hannah, I hope you wonât regret your actions today. You should have a conscience. Your grandmother may not be as wealthy as the Crawford family.
She is your grandmother, after all.â
âHow can you do this to her just because she is poor?â Blair did not want to use such harsh words to describe Hannah, but she had gone too much.
Hannahâs face turned red, realizing she could not win this argument.
She was not biased towards the rich or against the poor but worried that Blair would ruin her uncleâs wedding.
However, it was also a fact that she had driven her grandmother away.
She was about to defend herself when she heard someone shouting behind her, âShut up!â
Bettanyâs sharp gaze was coldly fixed on Blair, âYouâre quite good at talking. Itâs easy to say things when you open your mouth, right?â
âYou act like a righteous and kind person, overflowing with compassion. Do you think you are very kind?â
âIs it appropriate for an adult like you to criticize a child publicly?â
âLet me ask you, what if she becomes autistic, depressed, or even jumps into the river because of being accused in front of so many people? You accuse her of being biased towards the rich and abusing her grandmother. Isnât she pitiful? Will you take responsibility if something happens?â
As soon as Bettany appeared, she did not stop talking.
Blair was confused by her words.
Who am I, and where am I?
He opened his mouth and struggled to say, âOld Mrs. Crawford, I am also doing this for Ms. Hannahâs sake. What she is doing is not right.â
Bettany interrupted him, saying, âYou are doing this for her good? Do you know what happened three years ago? How dare you think you are doing the right thing?â
Blair felt frustrated.
He did not know what had happened three years ago, but he knew that Winona had done something wrong and had run away, leaving Hannah and Helen behind.
It was true that the Crawford family had taken in Hannah despite the past, but the fact remained that Helen was an old and lonely person.
âEven if Mrs. Crawford did something wrong, the old lady should not take the blame. The past is past.â
Blair insisted on his point of view, and he did not want anything from the Crawford family. He genuinely had a kind heart and felt sorry for the old lady.
Bettany sneered, âFirst of all, Winona and Liam have already divorced. She is no longer Mrs.
Crawford.â
âSecondly, are you sure you said it right? The past is past. Let me tell you, some things can never be forgotten!â
Bettanyâs face was as cold as ice, staring at Blair.
