The way Emily pushed the blame onto herself made Shen Yu’s heart ache even more. He looked coldly at Cara Mack, who had already stopped crying. He was so enraged that he wished he could pick up the kid on the ground and give her a good beating.

How dare she bully the person whom he held so dear in his heart?

“You heard what Emi said. You should know whose fault this is.”

These words were of course directed at the fat woman.

“So whatever she says is the truth? Ptui, I’ve watched her grow up. This ingrate has never spoken a word of truth since she was young.”

The fat aunt sneered at Shen Yu as if she was looking at a fool who didn’t realize that he was being deceived by Emily.

Emily’s eyes widened as she looked at the auntie. Then, she turned to look at the villagers around her. Unexpectedly, no one stood up for her.

Emily did not know what she was feeling at the moment. She should be angry, but she knew that the villagers had always been like this.

Back then, her father had saved everyone’s lives, but within a mere two months, they had already forgotten about it and saw her as nothing but a burden.

Emily started to feel bad for her father. These people were not worthy of her father’s sacrifice.

“It’s true that you’ve watched me grow up, but why are you making things up now?”

“Hmph, I have nothing to say to an ingrate like you.”

The fat aunt was even more disdainful of Emily. After all, Emily was an orphan. She did not believe that the Shen family would really treat and protect her like their own child.

Perhaps, in a few days, they would abandon her. She would very much like to see how Emily would continue to be arrogant then.

Shen Xue was thrilled when she heard the fat woman’s words, but she did not dare to speak. She had already pissed off Shen Yu. If she opened her mouth again now, Shen Yu might ask the bodyguards to throw her out.

“I’m not!”

Emily had never imagined that the auntie would be twisting the truth to this extent, denouncing her character, calling her an ingrate. She was not that kind of person, not even close.

Shen Yu gently patted Emily’s back, trying to calm her down.

“What’s happening here?”

A trembling figure squeezed into the crowd, holding a cane. His hair was greyed, but it could not hide his energetic spirit.
