The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 226 The Commotion

As for Cressida, she ran into the living room and happened to see Elodia going into the kitchen. Cressida stopped in her tracks and silently hid in a corner.

From her angle, Cressida could see Elodia looking for something to eat in the kitchen.

Cressida's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Elodia was just a village girl who grew up in a poor village named Black Mountain Village.

What right did Elodia have to be so free and happy in the Lockwood family and change her poor destiny completely while Cressida could only please everyone here?

The fear, uneasiness, and jealousy in Cressida's heart grew crazily like wild grass.

Cressida suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

That was to frame Elodia.

If Cressida insisted that the words in the recording were said by Elodia, then the unlucky one would be Elodia, and Cressida would be safe.

Cressida's eyes flashed with malice as she walked toward the kitchen.

Elodia had no choice but to enter the kitchen because she wanted to eat pickles.

Elodia saw pickles on the dining table this morning and thought there must be still some left in the fridge. Elodia carefully opened the refrigerator and saw the sealed pickles. Elodia's eyes lit up. She took the ja out and opened the lid, planning to eat some.

A thoughtful look appeared in Elodia's eyes. Elodia felt that she should buy a pregnancy test kit.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Elodia remembered that her period this month had already been delayed for half a month, but she, who was careless, did not notice it.

Elodia felt that there was a high chance that she was pregnant.

Ever since Elodia gave birth to Kieran, she had never gotten pregnant. This made Kim, who already disliked Elodia, dislike her even more and often made trouble for her.

Elodia pursed her lips. Elodia did not know if it was good or bad if she was really pregnant with a second child.

Elodia deeply understood a principle. When a person hated her, no matter how well she did, that person would pick out countless bad things about her.

Even if Elodia was pregnant with a second child, Kim was just one less reason to pick on Elodia.

In its place, Kim would even pick on Elodia's other flaws.

"Elodia."

Cressida's voice sounded behind Elodia.

Elodia was shocked. Her hand trembled and the fork fell.

Cressida sneered, and a trace of disdain appeared in her eyes. Cressida bent down to pick up the chopsticks and said, "Elodia, look at you. You're so timid."

Elodia looked at the fork she handed over and silently reached out to take it.

Cressida glanced at pickles on the dining table and chuckled. "Elodia, you came to the kitchen just to eat pickles secretly? What kind of habit is this? I heard that you, country bumpkins, grew up eating pickles." Elodia forced a smile awkwardly and said, "No..."

"Elodia, don't explain anymore. Let's go. I'll take you out for a walk."

Cressida pulled Elodia away without any explanation.

Cressida exerted a lot of strength this time. Elodia struggled, but Cressida, a pampered little girl, with her hand on Elodia's arm did not move at all.

Elodia's wrist hurt from Cressida's grip.

Élodia felt that something was wrong and could not help but ask, "Miss Langley, where are you taking me?"

Hearing Elodia's address, Cressida suddenly sneered. Cressida turned to stare at Elodia and questioned, "You called me Miss Langley?"

Elodia pursed her lips and corrected herself. "Cressida."

"Cressida, where are you taking me?" Elodia asked again.

Cressida sneered at Elodia and said, "You'll know when we get there. What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll harm you?"

Cressida did not say anything and was dragged away by Cressida.

The two of them quickly arrived at the pool Cressida said, "Elodia, we're here." Elodia looked around and didn't think there was anything special about this place. Cressida said, "Elodia, you met Isabella's daughter here just now and scolded her." Elodia's expression changed. "Cressida, what are you talking about?"

A crazy smile appeared on Cressida's face. Cressida looked at Elodia fiercely and suddenly pushed Elodia hard with both hands.

Elodia did not expect Cressida to suddenly push her.

Caught off guard, Elodia was pushed, and she immediately fell backward.

However, Elodia had been born into a poor family and had done a lot of hard housework. Elodia was strong, and she could stand firmly.

After being pushed, Elodia did not fall into the pool immediately. Instead, Elodia subconsciously reached out and grabbed the railing at the side.

Even so, Elodia fell to the ground hard.

Elodia's face immediately turned pale from the pain. Cold sweat broke out on Elodia's forehead.

Seeing that Elodia was not pushed into the pool, Cressida could not help but panic. Cressida pounced forward with a ferocious expression and pushed Elodia into the pool without caring about anything. Seeing that she couldn't push Elodia in, Cressida punched and kicked Elodia.

Several kicks landed on Elodia's belly.

Elodia instinctively covered her belly, but at this moment, Cressida pushed Elodia into the pool.

Elodia did not know how to swim. Coupled with the sudden pain in her belly, Elodia immediately choked on a mouthful of water.

Cressida wiped her face coldly, turned around, and quickly left.

Cressida was not afraid that Elodia would report her. Because Cressida believed that with Kim protecting her, Elodia would not be able to explain it even if she said thousands of words, and no one would believe Elodia. After all, when the time came, everyone would realize that the person in the pool was Elodia.

Excitement rose in Cressida's heart. Cressida had to marry into the Lockwood family and become one of the

noblest women.

The Lockwood family was so unattainable. If Cressida became a member of the Lockwood family, what kind of glory would it be?

As Cressida thought about it, she became more and more ambitious. Instead, Cressida did not feel a trace of fear or guilt for pushing Elodia into the pool.

Cressida returned to the bedroom and quickly washed up and changed her clothes.

In the blink of an eye, Cressida went downstairs and sat down beside Kim gracefully. Cressida listened to everyone's conversation and glanced gloomily at Bernard from time to time.

Kim saw that Cressida had adjusted her mentality and nodded in satisfaction. Kim said to Ava, "Ava, no child hasn't done wrong things when they were young. I think Bernard and Cressida are quite compatible..." Before Kim could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Everyone was stunned because the commotion outside was too loud, and the child's mournful cries could be

heard.

Everyone's expression changed. Ava stood up and walked out nimbly. "What happened? Let's go out and take a look."
