Chapter 29
Naomi did so many little things, all in the hopes of getting them to quarrel with each other.
Hearing this, she felt a burst of secret joy in her heart and hurriedly
stopped the fight with hypocrisy. In fact, she was fanning the flames. “The swimming pool is so deep, where can we find it? Forget it this time. Don’t quarrel because of me anymore…”
“I didn’t ask you to jump.” Malcolm didn’t look at Naomi and stared Tabitha. “But since you threw it away, you should find a way to get it back. Besides, this is a public place. I hope you can stay sensible and don’t go crazy like last time in the hospital…”
Tabitha’s lips tightened. She feared that if she relaxed herself, a choking sound would escape from her throat.
Naomi was still pretending to plead for Tabitha. “Malcolm, Ms. Jarvis must be behaving this way because of the loss of her parents. Don’t criticize her like that.”
Malcolm’s eyes darkened. “That’s it for now…”
Tabitha reached out and pushed Malcolm into the pool without hesitation.
“You are the one who should be sensible!” Tabitha cried out.
He used to be the man Tabitha loved, but now she had to push him into a pool for him to come to his senses. Sadness and hatrell overwhelmed her.
It was December, and the weather was freezing.
The cold pool water quickly overflowed his body, and the coldness seeped into his bones. The chill ran through his limbs, and his heart seemed to be
frozen for a moment.

Naomi was also shocked by Tabitha’s demeanor and couldn’t react for a long time.
Tabitha stood on the shore and looked at Malcolm, her voice as calm as if she had never done such an amazing thing. “You care so much about Naomi. Why don’t you help her get the ring back then?”
The noise of the swimming pool attracted some guests‘ attention and they all gathered around to watch.
Chadwick was a charity ambassador and a special guest at the gala.
After hosting the opening ceremony, he heard a noise and saw that Tabitha was confronting Naomi. He hurriedly asked the security guard to come over to maintain order and stopped the media reporter and VIP guests outside the swimming pool.
After arranging everything, he strode over.
“You’ve gone too far. How can you push people into the water in such cold weather?” By this time Naomi had come to her senses and was accusing Tabitha. “What did Malcolm do wrong to deserve this?”
Tabitha looked at her indifferently and said, “If you feel sorry for him, why don’t you go down to accompany him?”
Naomi was afraid that Tabitha would walk her talk, so she hurriedly took a few steps back and stayed away from Tabitha.
Chadwick walked to Tabitha and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
Tabitha didn’t expect that Chadwick would be the host of today’s banquet. Although she was a little confused, she told him briefly what had happened.

Chapter 29
Malcolm finally made it to the side of the pool.
He was wet all over, and his hair was messy. His bangs were dripping, and his lips turned pale with cold.
It was the first time that Tabitha had seen such a messy Malcolm. She made up her mind to look away from him.
Malcolm walked toward Tabitha with a gloomy face.
Chadwick was afraid that he would get angry and hurt others, so he pulled Tabitha behind his back subconsciously. But because he was too eager, he accidentally pulled her wound.
The wound on her back was dully painful, and Tabitha’s lips were a little pale. But she just frowned without saying anything.
Malcolm’s throat choked as he noticed her distressed face.
She was not in good health, so she chose a long–sleeved gown this evening and wrapped her back and arms tightly.
The wound on her back was because of him, and she hadn’t fully recovered yet.
The image of Tabitha standing in front of him, defending him, came into his mind, and his anger was suppressed strangely.
“Tabitha, you’ve gone too far today. As the lady of the Sinclair family, you have not displayed the appropriate mannerisms,” Malcolm said halfheartedly.
As soon as he said that,
