Chapter 52 It's oNot The Plan
Lily came out of the bathroom screaming and crying.
Rossie ignored her, she just mourned the broken pieces of the bracelet and held them tightly. She was so absorbed in mourning them that she didn't notice someone peeking at her with a smile from the slightly open door.
Lily held her blood-stained wrist and ran down the corridor, crying hysterically. Just then, the auction was over and the participants left the room, trying to avoid her.
Lily continued to scream for attention. She wanted Rossie to pay for the pain she had suffered.
Miranda, Kelly, and Daisy immediately rushed over. They screamed in panic when they saw the chaos.
“Lily dear, what happened to your hand? Who hurt you?” Daisy was filled with sadness and fear.
Daisy secretly praised Lily's brilliant acting, which was, of course, their idea. However, when she saw the blood flowing so profusely, Daisy was stunned. To her knowledge, Lily had a low tolerance for pain. Even a needle made her hysterical.
Lily realized that people there were taking out their cell phones and recording. She immediately became more hysterical, pretending to be a pitiful victim.
At that moment, Rossie walked towards them with a straight face, making everyone move aside to give him room. Everyone was completely mesmerized by his appearance.
At that moment, Bryce and Alex also turned to look at her and forgot about Lily's voice screaming for him.
“Bryce...” Once again, Lily called out to him with a voice trembling with tears.
He frowned and walked closer when he saw the terrible deep wound.
“Your hand is hurt, how did this happen?” Bryce asked, looking worried.
“Bryce, it hurts. There's so much blood, I think I'm going to die.” Lily cried and held her head, almost falling. Bryce immediately caught her and hugged her.
Rossie saw this and smiled cynically. This wasn't Lily's first drama.
“Don't talk like that. We'll take you to the hospital right away!” Bryce assured her.
Lily turned to Rossie, then buried her face in Bryce's chest and cried and grimaced in pain. This caught Bryce's attention, and he immediately tried to find out what was going on.
Lily took advantage of the people who were pointing their cell phones to record, hoping that there would be news that would bring Rossie down. Alex, who saw this, asked his people to stop them from recording.
“I know that Miss Jones's situation is very sad, but we can't jump to conclusions. We have to be objective! We also have to hear from Miss Winter. Even though there are no surveillance cameras in the restroom, there are cameras in the hallway leading to it, and there may be other people there who can be witnesses!”
Everyone fell silent. Alex was right; they couldn't be hasty.
Once again, Rossie was surprised by him. The annoying boy who always picked fights with her was standing at the forefront to defend her.
Rossie glanced at Alex, and he glanced back at her and nodded slowly. Their secret eye contact did not escape Bryce's attention. He thought Rossie was starting to flirt with Alex. Unconsciously, his hands clenched in anger.
“There are no witnesses. We were the only ones in the bathroom at that time,” Rossie said casually.
“Oh, is that so?” Alex frowned. He had tried to defend Rossie, but she didn't realize it.
“You all heard it, right? Who else could have done it? Could my daughter have hurt herself?” Daisy shouted sharply.
Lily smiled silently behind her sad tears.
“Tell me, Rossie, was this your doing?” Bryce asked coldly.
Rossie's heart was broken. For three years, Bryce had only listened to Lily and never cared about Rossie's feelings. Even though Rossie tried hard to tell the truth, he considered it nonsense. Lily was always his priority.
Alex tapped his forehead and glanced cynically at Bryce. How stupid he was!
This time, Rossie didn't want to do that again. She didn't want to try so hard to defend herself and get Bryce's attention. She didn't want to be sad anymore.
Rossie lifted her face with a smile and stared at him intently. “Yes, I did it. So what? Are you upset? Do you want revenge? Or do you want to scold and slap me like you used to?”
At that moment, it wasn't just Bryce and the Jones family who were shocked, but also Alex. Bryce was shocked by Rossie's change in attitude, while Alex was shocked by Rossie's suffering during her marriage to Bryce.
“Rossie, are you serious?” Bryce's throat tightened, hoping that what he heard was a dream.
“Do I have to repeat myself?” Rossie asked sarcastically.
Meanwhile, Lily and her mother looked nervous. Lily buried her face again; she had to hide her panicked expression.
What was happening now wasn't part of her plan. ‘Damn it? Why did that bitch admit it was her doing?’
‘You ruined everythng, Rossie!’
