Chapter 1826

“Are you going to leave just like that?”

Ada abruptly stopped in her tracks. She felt awfully uneasy, but she still turned around, feigning innocence and a wounded expression on her face.

She saw Shirley, who was seated in her wheelchair, approached the doorway slowly.

“Ms. Brown, you’ve won. I don’t want to stay and be humiliated.”

“ I’ve won?” Shirley was confused when she heard this.

Carter had intentionally kept his voice down during his conversation with Ada, especially when he had spoken those few sentences. He had not wanted Shirley to hear them.

As a result, Shirley was not aware of how important she was to Carter.

Now, she merely found Ada’s words amusing.

“Mrs. Gray, do I look like a winner to you? My legs are crippled, and my face is disfigured. I’ll be useless for the rest of my life. How am I a winner? Should I be honored that you did all of this personally?”

Sure enough, Shirley revealed it!

Ada flinched and immediately denied, “Ms. Brown, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that I’m responsible for your predicament? Why would… why would I do such a thing to you? Carter, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’ve never done such harmful things. Ms. Brown is falsely accusing me.”

As Ada’s voice fell, another voice followed.

“She’s not falsely accusing you. I saw everything that night.”

Ada turned around sharply and saw Cathy walking down the corridor with Camille.

This time, Ada was at a loss.

Slowly, Cathy approached Ada, pointing at the cut on Ada’s hand.

“That cut on your hand came from your struggle with Shirley when you used a knife to hurt Shirley back then. Not only did you hurt her, but you broke her legs as well. She lost the ability to walk because she got hit by a car while trying to escape.”

Cathy provided a clear account of the incident.

Shirley had been the one who had told Cathy these details after the incident.

Cathy had decided to believe Shirley after seeing the sincerity in her eyes.

Shirley had indeed changed.

Camille, hearing Cathy’s statement, and seeing the knife wound on Shirley’s face, was enraged “What?! Ada, have you gone mad?! How could you possibly do such a thing?! ” Camille questioned reprovingly.

Camille was indeed upset when Shirley had left without a word back then. All those years, however, she had treated Shirley like her own daughter. In addition, Shirley was now pregnant. It was only natural for Camille to be on Shirley’s side.

Ada, realizing that everybody was watching her, was beginning to panic when her reinforcement promptly arrived.

Ada’s mother had rushed over as soon as she received her call. Now, she raced up the stairs and stood in front of Ada, shielding her.

Ada’s mother was emboldened by the knowledge that she was of some value.

“So, this is how you treat my daughter in my absence. You bully her together as a group!” Ada’s mother glared at Shirley.

“Who do you think you are, Shirley? You were just a stinky beggar that the Gray family took in years ago. How dare you seduce my son-in-law? I’ll have to teach you a lesson or you’ll assume you can get away with anything!”

Following her furious rebuke, Ada’s mother gave Shirley a tight slap directly across the face.
