Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Sophia's frantic antics made Chloe smirk despite herself.

Sophia's clumsy acting might fool some clueless netizens, but if she thought she could pull one over on the police, that was just not happening.

The lead officer, hearing Sophia's accusations, couldn't help but warn her, "Ma'am, you need to be careful with your words. Miss Davis did not push your niece into the deep end."

"Actually, she risked her life to save your niece when she saw her struggling in the deep water. If it weren't for her, your niece would have drowned."

Sophia's face turned an ugly shade at the officer's words.

She knew Chloe had rushed into the deep end to save Kathy. After all, she had witnessed it herself.

The only reason she was making such a fuss is to drag Chloe down. But now that the police were actually speaking up for Chloe, her whole plan to smear her was falling apart. There was no way she was just going to let Chloe off the hook like this-she had not done yet.

Thinking this, she denied it. "Officer, she's so awful, how could she possibly save my niece? You must be mistaken!"

Hearing this, the officer retorted, "Ma'am, are you questioning our investigative abilities?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I just..." Sophia hadn't expected the situation to turn so quickly. She was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, she remembered Chloe slapping Kathy in the water and brought it up again. "Then why did she slap my niece in the water? My niece is so small, how could she handle such a slap?"

The officer explained, "When Miss Davis went to save your niece, your niece reflexively yratdecrivils's Davis's arm, preventing der formswimming: urutlar sritiarton, Davis hadn't slapped her to break free, they both could have drowned."

"If you doubt this, we can provide all the video evidence. Moreover, many witnesses saw what happened. We've already interviewed them, and they are willing to testify for Miss Davis." The officer added.

Hearing about the video evidence, Sophia's confidence wavered.

She stood there, unsure of what to say next.

The police, aware of Sophia's recent online antics, wanted to minimize the impact of the situation.

One officer offered her a way out. "Ma'am, you've been posting a lot of nonsense online these past few days. Now that the police investigation is complete, you should apologize to Miss Davis and issue a public apology online. Let's put an end to this." The officer turned to Chloe, "Miss Davis, your brave actions are commendable. We will publish our findings online to clear your name."

The police hoped to resolve the matter smoothly, but Sophia balked at the idea of apologizing to Chloe, especially publicly.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I won't apologize. I'll bring my niece here to tell everyone whether Chloe saved her or tried to harm her."

"My niece is the victim here. She needs to explain what happened." With that, Sophia turned to head to Kathy's hospital room.

At that moment, Adelaide walked out holding Kathy's hand.

Seeing Kathy, Sophia was puzzled. She had been too busy framing Chloe to take care of Kathy. How did Kathy end up with Chloe?

Confused, Sophia roughly grabbed Kathy's delicate arm.

Kathy has always been in poor health, and on top of that, growing up away from her mother left her with a timid and shrinking demeanor.

When Sophia grabbed her arm, she used enough force to make Kathy wince in pain, her face twisting and tears welling up in her eyes.noveldrama

But faced with Sophia's angry expression, Kathy didn't dare resist. She knew that without Isidora around, she had to rely on Sophia.

Ignoring Kathy's discomfort, Sophia pushed her in front of the reporters and police, casting a menacing glance at her when no one was looking.

The physical pain and Sophia's intimidation made Kathy's expression increasingly complex.

Sophia demanded, "Kathy, tell the police and reporters, did that ugly woman Chloe push you into the deep end?"

"Did she slap you under the guise of saving you?" Sophia continued to question, "She wanted to harm you, to drown you, didn't she?"

Kathy, already scared, couldn't hold back her tears any longer and started crying loudly.

Seeing Kathy cry, Sophia smirked slightly.

She stood up and addressed everyone, "Look at what Chloe has done to my niece! The video doesn't prove anything, but the fact that she slapped my niece is undeniable. As her aunt, we do not accept that this murderer is a hero."

Sophia's words made the police shake their heads. Shewas as foolish as a pig.

Chloe had already said she would sue her. The police didn't want her to bear too much responsibility and had kindly suggested she apologize. But now, she was digging herself deeper.

The police were exasperated.

One reporter, having heard the police's explanation and seeing Kathy's distress, wanted

to hear Kathy's side. He gently coaxed her. "Kathy, don't cry. Tell me, was Miss Davis trying to harm you or save you?"

Kathy, through her tears, glanced at the anxious Adelaide behind her and then at Chloe, who was being slandered.

These past few days, Sophia had been absent, and Adelaide and Chloe had taken care

of her. Deep down, she wanted to clear Chloe's name.

But faced with Sophia's threats, she didn't know what to do.

If she didn't follow Sophia's lead and slander Chloe, Sophia might beat her when they got home.

And she couldn't contact Isidora.

Kathy's heart trembled. At her young age, she couldn't make such a difficult decision.
