“How could you believe her?” Mr. Winters quickly looked at his phone, questioning Arabella in it,
“You’re saying that maid caught the whole thing on camera? Alright, then, let’s see the footage.”
“No problem.” Arabella immediately sent the video to Phillip’s phone, adding a friendly reminder,
“Grandpa, take care of yourself.”
She was worried that Phillip would get overly upset after watching the video, causing his old illness to
flare up.
Phillip. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep it cool to deal with some ungrateful fools!”
After hanging up, Phillip opened the video. Back then, the phone’s video quality was pretty crappy, but
they could still make out a little boy running towards the pool, laughing and looking back to see if his
friends were chasing him. Mr. Winters had just ended a phone call and exited the garden. Seeing the
passing boy, he didn’t hesitate a second and pushed the kid right into the pool.
The little boy was so shocked that he fell into the water before he could react.
The sight probably scared the daylights out of Elsie. Her phone even shook a bit. Then, someone
rushed over and jumped into the water to save the boy. What happened next was precisely as Arabella
described.
To make people believe he was the hero, Mr. Winters even jumped into the water himself to get
completely soaked. Then he came out, pretending to be all freaked out and calling over all the guests.
When the guests rushed over, all their attention was on the boy. Phillip and Shirley immediately called
for a doctor.
Nobody doubted the authenticity of the event.
Arabella sent over a second video, with someone asking Elsie why she didn’t speak up at the time.
Elsie said it was because she was too scared then. Plus, Phillip quickly decided that Mr. Winters was
their savior, showing gratitude all over the place. She didn’t dare to speak up.
It was her first high–paying job, and she had only been there for a few days. If she lost it, her family’s
debts would be insurmountable, and her grandma in the hospital was about to have surgery.
Back then, Mr. Winters dared to lay hands on the McMillian kid, pushing him into the pool, so Elsie was
also afraid that if she told the truth, the Winters would give her trouble, get back at her.
If the McMillians found out it was Mr. Winters who pushed their kid into the water, they would be livid.
Then, the Winters might face legal punishment. If the Winters couldn’t handle the McMillians, could
they handle a commoner like her?
She didn’t want any danger. She wanted to earn more money to help her family get out of their tough
spot.
But as Phillip and Shirley got nicer and nicer to her, her guilt grew stronger and stronger. Eventually,
she couldn’t stand it anymore and left the McMillian family after half a year. When she left, Shirley even
gave her a big gift card worth five times her monthly salary.
She wanted to tell Shirley the truth then but thought better of it. It had been half a year since the
incident, and telling her then might disappoint Shirley.
So, she didn’t say anything in the end. After leaving the McMillian family, she would still occasionally
check up on the McMillians and the Winters in the news. Whenever she saw the two families doing
charity work together or doing business, she felt unbearable pain.
Elsie, “Mr. McMillian, I’m really sorry.“”
In the video, Elsie was crying, her face full of regret, “I was too scared then, didn’t want to cause
trouble. I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry to all of you!”
Phillip closed his eyes. It took him a while to muster up the strength to throw a punch at Mr. Winters.
Mr. Winters was caught off guard and fell to the ground. His whole body felt like it was falling apart. The
pain nearly made it impossible for him to breathe.
“Got anything to say now?” Phillip angrily kicked him again.
Mr. Winters couldn’t believe Arabella managed to uncover the truth in such a short time. Now, with
clear evidence, if he continued to deny it, his family would face severe consequences.
So, he had to say, “Phillip, listen to me.”
“You shameless jerk!”
