âI⦠Iâ¦â Carrieâs eyes were full of tears as she choked up.
âYou just want to go against us. We donât like Anna, so you want to help her. Is that so you can show
that youâre different and righteous?!â
Bethanyâs delicate face was contorted at the moment. âStop trying so hard! Ryan canât possibly like a
fool like you!â
âMs. Bethany! What are you doing?â Wilma rushed in and hugged Carrie, who was crying loudly.
The other servants in Tideview Manor had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and no one
dared to stop Bethany.
Wilma was the only one who dared to stand up for Carrie because she had been working for Justin for
the longest time and could not stand the way Bethany bullied Carrie.
âWilma, get out! Itâs none of your business!â Bethany was also angry with Wilma.
âI think you should leave!â
While Wilma comforted the trembling Carrie, she shot a warning look at Bethany and said, âIf you walk
out of this door now, Iâll pretend that I didnât see a thing. Otherwise, I will tell Young Master Justin
exactly how you bullied Ms. Carrie when he comes back!â
Bethany trembled and gritted her teeth unwillingly.
If Justin knew what Bethany was like at home, he would definitely tell his best friend, Ryan. If Justin
interfered, it would be more difficult for Bethany to pursue Ryan.
Considering this, Bethany had to stop.
However, she was still upset. Before leaving, she snatched the bear from Carrieâs arms and threw it out
the window.
âAh! My teddy!â
âThis ragdoll is such an eyesore!â
Bethany snorted coldly, flipped her wavy hair, and left the room as if nothing had happened.
Carrie did not even bother to put on her shoes before running out of the villa barefoot.
At that time, Justin returned to Tideview Manor and was startled to see Carrieâs anxious face.
âCarrie, what happened?â Justin stepped forward to stop her and frowned in worry.
Although Justin hated Shannon and Bethany, he still pitied Carrie.
Justin was also impressed that this weak little girl stood up to speak for Anna that day.
âMy teddy⦠My teddy is goneâ¦â Carrie was so anxious that tears and snot streamed down her face.
âDonât worry. Iâll help you find it.â
Justin led Carrie to the backyard.
Finally, they spotted a teddy bear lying in a muddy flower bed.
Justin, who always liked to keep his leather shoes spotless, could not care less about the mud and
stepped into the flower bed to retrieve the bear.
The teddy bear was so dirty that it was unrecognizable, but Carrie still held it like a treasure. She
hugged it tightly and sobbed as tears fell from her face.
Justin had never been a soft-hearted person, but he could not help but feel sorry for Carrie when he
saw her like this.
âItâs so dirty. Why donât you throw it away? Iâll buy a new one for you tomorrow.â
âNo⦠I want this one⦠Annie gave it to me⦠Itâs my favorite toy!â
Justinâs chest trembled. He did not expect Carrie to like Anna so much.
Carrie thought of Annaâs kindness to her in the past. Without him, every day in this huge manor was
arduous. Her father neglected her, her mother ignored her, and her sister bullied her.
âJustin!â
The little girl threw herself into Justinâs arms and burst into tears. âCan you ask Annie to come back? I
miss her so much⦠Can you stay together?â
Justinâs thin lips trembled. His throat felt bitter.
He stroked Carrieâs hair with his big hands and could not say a word because he was afraid of hurting
Carrie even more.
At this time, his phone rang.
Nigelâs call interrupted his thoughts.
âGrandpa.â
âWhy canât I get through to Anna again?â
Nigel became more childlike as he got older. On the other end of the phone, Nigel sounded so anxious
that he was about to cry. âWhatâs going on with Anna? I canât find her lately. She doesnât come to see
me either! Does Anna no longer want me anymore?! You stupid brat! Itâs all your fault! If Anna is
ignoring me because of you, Iâll disown you!â
âGrandpa, Anna will not abandon you. Donât overthink it.â Justin rubbed his temples. His handsome
face was gloomy.
âHurry up and help me contact Anna! I want to see my precious granddaughter-in-law! Go and find
her!â
