Just then, my mobile phone rang.
I picked up my cell phone. It was a text message from Carter.
You will accompany me home tomorrow. It's my mother's birthday. 】
Did Carter change his mind and accept me?
Before I thought it over, Polly immediately grabbed my mobile phone.
"You have to stay in the hospital tomorrow. You are not allowed to go!"
I comforted Polly, "OK, I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for the sake of the baby."
Polly was relieved and went out of the ward to go through the hospitalization formalities for me.
Polly has a party at night, so she wouldn’t spend the night with me. Before leaving, she repeatedly told me, "I'll come to see you tomorrow. If I find you sneaking out, you know the consequences!"
"Don't worry, I won't." I promised her with a smile.
But when Polly left, my smile disappeared immediately.
Sorry. Polly. I must go to Carter's mother's birthday party tomorrow, not to keep Carter, but to reassure the Louis family.
I want to let Mr. Louis, who supports my marriage with Carter, feel at ease and let him know that Carter and I re on good terms.
Then I think of Mr. Louis's face. Although I have only met him twice, I always have a familiar feeling about him, as if we had met many years ago.
After making up my mind, I went to bed early. Before Polly came, I sneaked out of the hospital and rushed to Louis' old house.
When I arrived, the party had already started.
Everyone in the room was dressed in expensive evening gowns. I was dressed in last night's house clothes, which was out of place with everything here.
I pinched my skirt nervously. I need to find Carter immediately, or he will be angry with me.
I was about to enter the door when a woman next to me suddenly turned around and bumped into me. I subconsciously tried to avoid it, but I failed.
That woman spilled some wine on my dress.
"No! My dress!"
The woman exclaimed, stared at me angrily and shouted, "Are you blind? I don’t know how someone like you could become a servant at Louis’ house."
A woman's sharp accusation instantly attracted many eyes. I politely and patiently explained to her, "Miss, you bumped into me just now. Besides, I'm not a servant of Louis's family. "
Hearing my rebuttal, the woman paused slightly, raised her eyebrows and looked at my clothes. A more disdainful smile appeared on her noble face, "I really made a mistake. The servant of the Louis family is much nobler than you. You look more like a tramp and beggar on the street!"
The woman laughed at me loudly, and others followed her and pointed at me. I didn’t feel like arguing with her. When I was about to leave, Vanessa suddenly appeared in front of us.
She was dressed beautifully, wearing exquisite makeup. When she saw me, she immediately showed an expression of surprise, "Sela, why are you here?"
The woman who just laughed at me immediately went to Vanessa and gave me a contemptuous look, "Mrs. Louis, do you know her?"
I looked at Vanessa, who acted like she were the real Mrs. Louis.
She comforted the woman generously and completely regarded herself as the owner here, "Mrs. White, I’m so sorry. Don’t mind her!"
"Since Mrs. Louis speak for her, I think I will just let it go." After she finished talking to Vanessa with a smile, she gave me a fierce look. "Watch it next time!"
I was about to refute Mrs. White's remarks when Vanessa suddenly came up to me with a concerned face, "Sela, are you all right? "
Looking at Vanessa's hypocritical face, I felt nauseous. I was about to walk away from her when I was suddenly violently grabbed by my arm.
"Don't go yet!"
Mrs. White pulled me hard to keep me from leaving. She looked very angry, pointed at my nose and said loudly, "No wonder you hit me on purpose just now. You were trying to steal my bracelet!"
That’s ridiculous! Just at this moment, Vanessa hurried up to explain, "Mrs. White, there must be a misunderstanding! Although Sela used to steal when she was a child, she has changed now! "
She's not explaining it to me at all! She was slandering me!
We both know she’s the one that used to steal things.
"I haven't stolen anything from anyone!" I shook off Vanessa's hypocritical hand. "Back off! I don't want to see you!"
"I know you stole it!" Mrs. White grabbed my hand and refused to let it go. "You stole my bracelet! Do you dare to let me search you? "
I didn't stolen a bracelet, but I certainly didn’t want this woman to search me!
I was about to refuse, when Vanessa put her hand into my pocket and said to Mrs. White, "Let me help, but I believe Sela won't steal anything again... "
Suddenly, Vanessa's expression changed. She looked at me with disappointment.
"Sela, how can you do such a thing?"
With that, she took out a diamond bracelet from my pocket.
Mrs. White grabbed Vanessa's bracelet in one hand and immediately shouted excitedly, "This is my bracelet! You are a thief! How do you explain that?"
"I didn't steal anything!" I argued loudly, "I have never seen this bracelet before!"
Vanessa continued, "Sela, I know you haven't seen anything good since you were a child, so you got into the habit of petty theft. How could you do such a thing at this time? It's Carter's mother's birthday today. You really disappoint me! "
That’s when it hit me. Vanessa put the bracelet in my pocket on purpose!
"We have evidence now!" Mrs. White pulled me out. "I’m taking you to the police station!"
I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to resist.
At that moment, the crowd suddenly became quiet. An elegant lady came along.
"Since you find your bracelet, let’s not make a big deal out of it. Today is my birthday. After all, Selena is shameless, and she is Carter's wife. "
It was Carter's mother.
"What? This thief turned out to be Mr. Louis' wife? ! She's a disgrace to Louis's family! "
"No! Didn't Vanessa just say she was Mrs. Louis? When did you become this thief? "
The people next to me kept whispering and accusing me of disgust.
"Haven't you heard? This woman drugged Carter, slept with Carter and asked reporters to take pictures. That’s why she become Mrs. Louis. I’m not surprised that she is a thief. "
When Carter's mother heard these words, her face darkened. She turned to leave.
"No, mother, I didn't steal the bracelet. I was wronged!"
I quickly followed her. When I walked into the villa, I saw Carter in the crowd at a glance.
I subconsciously squeezed out a smile, but when Carter saw me, his expression suddenly became very sullen.
"Did you deliberately humiliate our family? Or did you just want to piss my family off? " He angrily said, "I shouldn't have asked you to come!"
My heart trembled and I quickly shook my head, "No, Carter, I didn't steal anything. Vanessa put the bracelet in my pocket on purpose... "
"Shut up!" Carter grabbed my collar angrily, "How many times do you have to slander Vanessa?"
I was about to continue to argue when Carter flung me into his arms.
His sudden intimate action scared me. My cheeks became hot.
"What are you doing?"
I was about to push him away when Carter suddenly nodded and said, "Grandpa!"
