Chapter 529

There were security guards and bodyguards at the villa. Two strong men rushed in and pulled me out

of the water.

Valerie took off her coat and wrapped it around me as I was soaking wet. She instructed the

bodyguards, "Quickly send her for a hot bath."

Then, she instructed the nanny, "Go make her a cup of hot tea."

At that moment, everyone got busy.

Andrea grabbed hold of Valerie as she witnessed how anxious she was. Her eyes were red, "Mother,

what are you doing? She deserved it. She deserves to die."

"Shut up!" Valerie got angry. "Why did you push her? If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive you."

"Mother, I am your daughter!" Andrea shouted, pointing at me, "She has done so many bad things to

you, but you still protect her."

Valerie pushed Andrea away and followed the bodyguards to send me for a hot bath.

My whole body trembled and shivered. I felt better after soaking in the bathtub for a long time.

I heard noises outside the bedroom as I got up from the bathtub. Hendrix was waiting outside the

bathroom with Anne in his arms.

He frowned as I came out of the bathroom, "Are you feeling better now? How did you fall into the

swimming pool?"

"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of her," Valerie felt a little guilty. She asked, "Arianna, are you

okay? Do you feel anything unusual?"

There were noises in the room. I told Valerie, "I am okay."

I asked Hendrix subsequently, "Have you finished your discussion?"

He nodded, "Do you want to go home?"

"Yes," I answered. Anne was looking at me with her big round eyes. She was very adorable. I wanted

to hug her but stopped by Hendrix.

"You had just caught a cold. We should head home."

He was right. I nodded without saying a word more and walked out of the bedroom. One of the maids

came up to the second floor with a cup of hot tea. Valerie quickly offered, "Arianna, you've just caught a

cold. Why don't you drink some hot tea first to keep your body warm?"

Before Valerie could finish talking, Andrea appeared from nowhere, snatching hot tea to throw at me.

Hendrix reacted faster than Andrea. He had stood in front of me, protecting me with his back.

I was dumbstruck. He was raging mad when I looked into his face.

Ian was also quick to react. She took Anne over from Hendrix and saw that Anne had been well

protected, too.

She looked at Sawyer and asked, "Take Mr. Roberts to change his clothes and to see if he's burned."novelbin

Sawyer responded. He looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts.”

Hendrix stared at Andrea. Even though he did not say a word, all of us could feel his dreadfulness in

the thin air.

After the two gentlemen left, Valerie suddenly raised her hand.

A slap landed squarely on Andrea's face. Valerie was already mad as a hornet, "Andrea, how much

trouble do you want to cause? Isn't this enough already?"

Andrea was in disbelief as she did not expect that Valerie would slap her in the face, "Did you hit me

because of her?" Her voice was full of despair.

"Yes, you deserved it!" Valerie answered ferociously. She asked Andrea, "Didn't I ask you to stay in the

hospital? Why did you come and make a mess here?"

I'm not ill. Why should I stay in the hospital? Mother, you weren't like this. Why are you doing this to me

now? It's clearly Arianna's fault. Why did you punish me?"
