Chapter 220 Falling into the Water
I furrowed my brows, turned around, and unsurprisingly, it was Gianna.
Looking at the little girl’s face, which was completely different from just now in the hall, I frowned and
said to her, “Compared to me, your eavesdropping seems to be more shameless.”
The little girl had a defiant look on her face, glaring at me and saying, “This is the first time I’ve ever
seen a woman as shameless as you. You’ve clearly divorced Walter, yet you have the audacity to
accept the bracelet that Carley gave to the Hinton family’s granddaughter-in-law. You even covet the
old people’s things, don’t you feel guilty?”
Looking at her face full of discontent, I laughed, “What’s the matter? Are you so indignant because you
like this bracelet? Or do you like your Walter?”
“You…” She choked on her words due to the pain of being stepped on. After a moment, her face was
full of arrogance. She glared at me with an air of superiority and said, “So what if I like him? Didn’t you
divorce Walter? What, no one else is allowed to like him? Besides, if a woman like you could marry
him, why can’t I?”
What did you call a woman like me?
I furrowed my brows and for a moment, I was actually amused by her, “This kind of woman, me?”
She snorted coldly, looking at me with disdain all over her face, “In terms of family background, my
father is a high-ranking official in River City. A company like the Conner Group is nothing in River City.
In terms of appearance, hmph, you’re an old woman whose beauty has
faded. Tabatha, what makes you think you can compare with me?
Walter must have been blind to marry you back then. It’s a good thing you had the sense to divorce
him, otherwise it would be truly disgusting to watch.”
I was genuinely amused by him and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “A high official in River City?
The Conner Group is not up to par? Tomorrow’s yellow flower? Miss Zhao, your language art is truly
eye-opening. It seems that Walter has a point in looking down on your family. Look at this upbringing
and conversation, it’s really sigh- worthy.”
“Tabatha, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be so damn cryptic,” Gianna said, chopping
her foot in anger and glaring at me with a face full of fury.
Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help but find it amusing. I chuckled lightly and said to her, “Enough. Let
me give you a piece of advice, don’t be delusional. Walter’s standards haven’t sunk to rock bottom. He
wouldn’t be interested in someone like you, you wouldn’t even catch his eye. Instead of wasting your
time here trying to upset me, you’d be better off reading more books, gaining some wisdom. Who
knows, he might even spare you a few more glances.”
It truly wasn’t that I had a sharp tongue, I just couldn’t hold back.
The little girl probably had never been spoken to so bluntly before. For a moment, her eyes turned red
with anger, her gaze filled with hatred, and she looked at me almost crazily, saying, “What right do you
have to tell me what to do? You wretch, go to hell.”
I-didn’t expect her to suddenly lunge at me. Instinctively, I stepped back a few paces, avoiding her. My
face darkened involuntarily, and I frowned at her, saying, “Gianna, this is the Hinton family. If you want
to die, pick another place.” I didn’t want to cause trouble here.

At that moment, she was completely blinded by rage. Having just missed in her frenzied attack, her
eyes fell upon the pond next to us. A malicious glint flashed in her slender eyes as she coldly said,
“Dying here is a mercy I’m granting you.”
Saying this, she suddenly grabbed me and tried to push me into the pond. Realizing what she was
trying to do, I broke out in a cold sweat. With quick reflexes, I grabbed onto a nearby artificial hill. Out of
instinctive self-protection, I subconsciously kicked her in the stomach.
After feeling the pain, she instinctively let go of my hand, wanting to cover her lower abdomen that I
had kicked. However, in her attempt to push me earlier, she had recklessly brought herself to the edge
of the pond, which was surrounded by bushes and flowers. Because she had used all her strength to
push me, the moment she let go, her skirt was caught by the bushes at the edge of the pond. The
entire person was pulled back by the caught skirt, and after letting go of me, she involuntarily took a
few steps back due to inertia.
Due to her unsteady footing, she fell backwards directly, with the other side of the bush being a pond.
She didn’t have time to grab anything and plunged headfirst into the pond. Her beautiful dress,
however, was caught by the bush.
“Pfft!”
Watching her fall into the water, I was so scared that I froze for a few seconds, forgetting to call for
help.
It wasn’t until Gianna, struggling in the water, spluttered out, “Help…
