Chapter: 244
Do you still deny it?"
Raegan straightened her back, pointed at the maid beside her, and said calmly, "If she didn't trip me, I wouldn't fall and knock off the vase. As I have said, it was an accident."
She had a hunch that Tessa had come prepared. So she must stay calm now. She couldn't get herself into trouble.
Of course, the maid would deny it. She pointed at Raegan and pretended to be surprised.
“Hey, Miss! Please don't frame me! I don't even know you. I saw it with my own eyes. You wanted to attack Miss Lloyd just now, and you tripped over yourself."
“Yes, that's right. I saw it, too," echoed another maid.
Tessa sneered, “Raegan, you are really something. How dare you lie with so many people watching!" She then turned to the maids and ordered, "Restrain her and teach her a lesson until she admits it."
As soon as she said this, the two maids stepped forward to hold Raegan.
Raegan didn't know if she was only imagining things. But she always felt that Tessa had been staring at her belly while she spoke.
Did Tessa know she was pregnant? But how?
She was confused. But unfortunately, she didn't have time to think about it now. Her current predicament was her utmost concern.
"Don't touch me!" Raegan screamed when she felt the maid's grip.
She forcefully shook off the maid's hands and looked at the maids with narrowed eyes. She then said sharply, "I am Mitchel's wife. I am the daughter-in-law of the Dixon family. I am one of the invited guests at tonight's birthday party. If anything happens to me, have you thought about how to explain it to the Dixon family? Are you sure you can afford to offend them?"
At this critical moment, she had no choice but to use her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Dixon family. And it seemed effective.
The hands of the two maids froze, and they hesitated.
When Raegan saw this, she calmed herself down and continued, "As for the vase, I won't argue with you anymore. Even though it wasn't my fault, I could pay for it. But if you dare to hurt me, you are setting yourself against the Dixon family. Are you sure you can afford the consequences?"
Sure enough, Raegan's words frightened the two maids. They stood there in a daze and looked at Tessa's grandma, waiting for her instructions.
Sariah looked at Raegan while playing with the rosewood bracelet in her hand. There was no trace of kindness on her face at all. She said slowly, “Young woman, you are a bit rude. No wonder Mitchel had never introduced you, even after being married for two years. Fine.
Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Mitchel. He will surely thank me later."
After saying this, Sariah winked at the maids standing next to her.
