Hearing Mark’s words, the bodyguard stopped beating Scarlett. Dissatisfied, Isabelle frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know who you take after. How can you be so kind.”
“I just don’t think it’s necessary.” I smiled. People were born to sympathize with the weak. I could not bring myself to be an onlooker when two men were beating weak women. Moreover, they were Nathan’s wife and daughter. Even if they had nothing to do with me, I should stop it because of Nathan.
“Forget it. It’s up to you.” Shortly afterward, Isabelle waved her hand and brought Mark to the garden.
Then, I walked over and assisted Yvette in helping Scarlett up. However, as soon as I touched Scarlett, she pushed me away. “Get lost! You don’t have to pretend to be kind. Do you think I’ll appreciate your fake kindness and help you deal with Crystal and her mother? Don’t even think about it!”
Frankly, I had never thought about it that way. The only thing I ever wanted in my life was to live a good life with Christopher. It was too taxing to take revenge on others, so there was no need to get even with every single person that had set me up.
When I saw that Scarlett could not even stand properly, I called an ambulance for them because of her miserable look. After they moved Scarlett on the stretcher and carried her into the ambulance, Yvette, who had already got into the ambulance, came down again and said to me, “Thank you, Yvonne.”
“It’s okay. I just did what I wanted to do. I have a clear conscience,” I replied softly.
Lifting her head, she glanced at me and whispered into my ears, “I saw your mother meeting with Crystal very frequently. You’d better be careful. I’ve got a feeling that Crystal is plotting something again.”
“What?” My first reaction was that Yvette was trying to drive a wedge between Mom and me.
