Chapter 237

With that, Zeke and the others quickly rode their horses to

where Rosie was to take a look.

Rosie sat on the grass. Since she wore short pants, her legs were full of scratches and blood.

It was not long until the men arrived.

Sunny was the first one to get down from the horse. He approached her and asked worriedly, “Rosie,

what happened to you?”

With tears in her eyes, Rosie whimpered, “Sunny… I fell when I was trying to put the kite up in the air. I

think I sprained my leg. It hurts so badly…”

Sunny squatted to help her and examined the bloody wounds on her legs. He furrowed his brow. “Why

are you so careless?”

Meanwhile, Annie watched what transpired and shot Rosie a look of disdain. “You were right, Corinne.

She is up to something bad,” she remarked. “Hmph! How hard can it bet for her to get up after falling?

Also, calling for help? What is she thinking of? Only an idiot like Sunny will believe her!”

Corinne remained calm as she held the kite reel. “Come on, let’s go and take a look.”

Being the organizer of this trip, Zeke got down from his horse and asked, “Rosie, how are you feeling?

Can you stand?”

Rosie shook her head as tears started falling. “Zeke, I’m so stupid. I don’t even know how to put the

kite up in the air by myself…”

Zeke frowned. “Why were you playing by yourself?”

Sunny’s eyebrows furrowed as he, too, asked, “That’s right. Why were you playing by yourself? Why

didn’t you ask

someone to help you?”

Rosie looked down and sighed helplessly. “I went to Corinne and Annie to help me, but they ignored

me. Maybe I offended Corinne after yesterday’s misunderstanding, and Corinne

disallowed Annie to help me.

“Sigh… I envy how Corinne and Annie flew their kite together. If Luna was here, I wouldn’t be so lonely,

and I would have someone to fly the kite with.”

Just a few words, yet she managed to tell everyone how Corinne and Annie boycotted her.

Sunny looked regretful when Rosie mentioned his sister’s

name. After what happened yesterday, he doubted Rosie’s

ulterior motives. At this moment, all that was left in his heart was sympathy for Rosie.

Rosie was his sister’s best friend. If his sister knew Rosie was

hurt, she would be very worried.

Just then, Annie walked over with her hands on her waist. She happened to have heard everything

Rosie said and thus

retorted, “She’s lying, Uncle Jeremy. Corinne did offer to put the kite up with her, but Rosie rejected her

and even gave her a

fierce look!”

Rosie’s eyes reddened as she looked at Annie and said, with a voice sounding frail, “Annie, I know

you’re a kind and pure girl. I also understand that you’re trying to protect Corinne, but you can’t defame

me just because you want to protect her. You two ignored me just now. Otherwise, how do you explain

why I’m here all alone and in this situation?”

Annie was disgusted with Rosie’s ability to twist the truth.” Hmph! This isn’t the first time you cried wolf.

This is a big world with various unexplainable mysteries, yet this is the first time I knew a woman who

can tell a lie without feeling guilty about it!”

“Annie, I know I made a mistake yesterday, and I was wrong. But I didn’t lie today,” Rosie sobbed

vehemently while leaning on Sunny’s shoulder as if someone framed her for doing something she did

not.

The sight of a tear–ridden Rosie, however, only amused Annie, and she turned and looked at Jeremy,

who was still on his

horse.

“Uncle Jeremy, you mustn’t believe this woman. She’s doing

this on purpose as if she’s not afraid of all the chaos she

created and tried to defame Corinne!”

Jeremy looked at Annie and at Corinne, who stood quietly not far from him. Finally, he glared at Annie

sharply.

He raised his chin and said to Sunny, “Help her get up on her quest.
