The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Nathaniel Sloan Picks Up His Daughter

Noelle Lockwood’s expression stiffened. She forced a smile. "Mia, what are you talking about?"

’So what if I did? This little bastard should have died long ago!’

Mia glanced at her, the five-year-old’s eyes filled with disdain. "We’re both old foxes. Stop playing the innocent little flower."

Afraid Mia’s voice was too loud and would attract attention, Noelle Lockwood gave an awkward laugh. "Mia, I didn’t realize you had such a big problem with me..."

"You don’t know? Well, you’re about to find out."

Mia announced sweetly, "Aunt Noelle, I’m going to fall down now."

’For a moment, Noelle Lockwood didn’t understand. What did the little bastard mean? What was this about her going to fall down...?’

"Waaah..."

Suddenly, with a THUD, Mia fell to the ground. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Her big eyes looked both innocent and incredulous. She blinked a couple of times, and tears streamed down her little face.

Everyone around them was stunned.

Mia felt for the padding tied to her bottom. Though she wasn’t hurt at all, her acting was incredible. The tears came on command. "Aunt Noelle, WAAAH WAAAH..."

"Mia!" Christian was the first to step forward, starting his dramatic performance according to the script. "Aunt Noelle, how could you bully someone!"

Mia shrank back as if terrified, grabbing Christian’s hand. "Brother, I’m okay. Don’t blame Aunt Noelle. Maybe Aunt Noelle just couldn’t control her strength. It’s all my fault..."

Several female employees nearby snapped to their senses and hurried over. "Little one, are you hurt?"

"Can you stand up? There’s a clinic over there. Want me to take you to a doctor?"

Mia’s eyes were filled with tears. She looked like she was in too much pain to speak, yet she managed two polite whimpers.

The female employees’ hearts melted. The looks they gave Noelle Lockwood, however, were not so friendly.

"Miss Noelle, we’ve heard some of the rumors, but no matter what, Mia is still a five-year-old child. You..."

"She dares to lay a hand on a child in front of so many people. Who knows what she does behind closed doors!"

"Right, I heard Noelle Lockwood was kicked out of Imperial Crest because she abused Young Mr. Sloan. It wasn’t because Yara Lockwood drove her out at all."

"How could she bully a little kid? At the end of the day, this is a grudge between adults. She can’t compare to Yara Lockwood, so she takes it out on her daughter..."

As she sat on the floor, wiping her tears without any real emotion, Mia recalled something she had overheard outside her mommy’s room six months ago—

Back then, her uncle, Henry Kendrick, had found out that her mommy wanted to return to the country for revenge. He was very supportive and had mentioned something.

’Yara, back then, Noelle Lockwood was so favored. She faked a fall to frame you, and yet the entire Lockwood Family, plus that scumbag ex-husband of yours, all protected her. I’m afraid that even if you go back, getting revenge won’t be that easy.’

Later, Mia had pestered her uncle with more questions and finally learned the full story.

That day had also been at Evernight Tower. Her mommy had come to bring lunch to her scumbag dad and happened to run into Noelle Lockwood and that pair of biased parents.

Noelle Lockwood had fallen in the hallway. Even though no one saw how she fell, she had given Mommy a tearful glance and deliberately said, ’I’m fine, don’t blame my sister.’ Rose Lowell had then stepped forward and slapped Mommy twice, telling her to recognize her place.

Thinking of this, Mia redoubled her efforts. She cast a cautious, frightened glance at Noelle Lockwood and said:

"Everyone, please don’t say that. Waaah... I know Aunt Noelle didn’t do it on purpose..."

Noelle Lockwood finally understood, and her expression changed drastically.

’This little bastard was framing her!!’

’She hadn’t even touched Mia Lockwood just now; the girl had fallen down all by herself!’

Usually, it was Noelle Lockwood who framed others. To be framed herself... She immediately gritted her teeth. "Mia, how can you say that? I didn’t..."

"Mia, forget it. Let’s go."

Suddenly, Christian cut Noelle Lockwood off. He walked over to Mia. The little "green tea" had entered the stage and begun his performance.
