Arabella bit her lip in frustration, refusing to respond. She wanted to blurt out how much she hated Vivienne, despised her, and was jealous of her.
Vivienne had taken everything from her, including the man who should have been hers, leaving Arabella in this dismal state.
Vivienne was the reason she was in this miserable condition, so she deserved to take the blame.
She scrolled through her phone, watching the video of her removing Beatrice's oxygen tube in the hospital room in horror now that it had leaked online. Everything she said in the hospital room was also exposed.
This shocking turn of events stunned the onlookers who were questioning Beatrice's sanity. After ignoring her excellent granddaughter Vivienne, she chose to love an adopted pariah, leading her to almost get killed by the same pariah.
Many people tagged Paul's Twitter, asking him if he still planned to marry this would-be murderer.
Paul didn't respond, but the netizens were divided. They couldn't stop arguing.
One side argued that since Paul had gotten Arabella pregnant, he should take responsibility, regardless of whether Arabella was a heinous murderer.
The other side argued that a wife should be virtuous. If they brought a woman like Arabella into their family, wouldn't that bring disaster? For the sake of family honor and their future, it would be better to take some blame now than to let such a woman in and leave her child behind.
People say, 'Like father, like son.'
But with a woman like Arabella, who knew what kind of person her child would grow up to be and what harm it might bring to society?
Arabella gritted her teeth as she sent several messages to Paul, but he didn't respond.
"Ronald, do you think Paul will leave me because of this?" Arabella bit her lip, covering her face to hide her gaze while pretending to be in great pain.
Unfortunately, her tears, which she thought were very moving, didn't touch Ronald at all. He drove with a disappointed expression. "Arabella, don't you feel any shame or regret?"
Arabella was taken aback, but Ronald ignored her, and the two drove in silence back to Hawthorn Mansion.
As they neared Hawthorn Mansion, Arabella saw Michael Hawthorn and Joseph Hawthorn, with satisfied expressions on their faces, leaving the mansion.
They must have taken advantage of this situation to get a hefty sum from Scott.
Arabella shrank back and hid behind the driver's seat. She was afraid of being seen by the two and getting entangled with them again.
Ronald glanced at her movement. His lips tightened, and his expression became even more serious.
When they entered the mansion and saw the Brooks family waiting for her in the living room, Arabella couldn't help but shrink back.
Melissa and Timothy looked complicated, while Judith and Scott's faces were stern. Only Ashley's eyes were filled with unmistakable schadenfreude.
"Grandma, Dad." Arabella approached with a pale face. She was acting pitifully, trying anything to soften Judith and Scott's hearts.
"We've heard what happened from the police." Scott paused before asking, "Arabella, why did you try to kill your former grandmother, Beatrice?"
"She threatened me." Arabella defended herself with teary eyes. "She wanted to force me to take two billion from you for her. How could she let me do that to you? I was so angry that I lost control.”
That was also what Arabella told the police.
Ashley’s eyes flashed with ridicule.
Arabella’s mind worked fast. This excuse turned her from an attempted murderer into someone who was willing to argue with her grandmother, who raised her, in order to protect her biological grandparents.
