Chapter 237
Haillie was sitting on the grass with bloody grazes on her bare legs from her shorts.
Before long, a few guys arrived on horseback.
Byran was the first to dismount and asked with concern, “Haillie, what happened?”
Haillie, with tears in her eyes and a face full of pain, said, ‘Byran. I fell while flying a kite, I think I twisted my ankle, it hurts so bad”
Byran squatted down to help her and looked at her grazed legs, frowning, he said, “Haillie, how can you be careless!”
Belinda, who was nearby, looked at Haillie with a dissatisfied expression and said, “Ellinor, you were right. He’s causing a scene again! She fell and can’t get up, screaming for help, what a drama queen, only a fool like Byran would believe her!”
Ellinor calmly reeled in the kite string, Let’s go and see”
Jonah, the organizer of the gathering, also dismounted. He walked over slowly and asked, Haillie, how are you? Can you stand ?”
Haillie shook her head, tears streaming down her face, “Jonah, I’m so clumsy, I can’t even fly a kite.”
Jonah frowned, ‘Why were you flying a kite alone?”
Byran frowned. “Yeah, Haillie, why would you fly a kite alone? Why didn’t you ask someone to help you?”
Haillie sighed helplessly, lowering her head, “I went to ask Ellinor and Belinda for help, but they ignored me… Perhaps it’s because I misunderstood Ellinor yesterday, and she doesnt allow Belinda to contact me anymore…I feel a bit jealous watching them fly a kite together. If Patricia were here today, I would have someone to fly a kite with“.”
It sounded like she was being deliberately isolated.
When Byran heard his sister Patricia’s name, he looked annoyed. He doubted Haillie because of her improper behavior towards Ellinor yesterday, but now he only felt sympathy
Haillie is his sister’s best friend, if his sister knew Haillie was injured, she’d be worried….
At this moment, Belinda came over. She had heard what Haillie had just said and angrily countered, “That’s not what happened! Ellinor said she would help her fly a kite, but Haillie didn’t appreciate it and even got angry at Ellinor!”
Haillie’s eyes were red and swollen; she looked at Belinda, crying and defending herself, “Belinda, I understand that you are a pure and kind child and your desire to protect Ellinor. But you can’t slander me because of this! If it wasn’t for you two ignoring me, why would I come here to fly a kite alone and hurt myself?”
Belinda couldn’t stand her twisting of the fact.
“Huh! Haillie, this isn’t the first time you’ve played the victim! The world is full of wonders, meeting a brazen woman like you is undoubtedly an eye–opener.”
“Belinda, regarding yesterday’s incident, I admit I was wrong. But I’m not lying today!” Haillie seemed greatly wronged as she leaned on Byran’s shoulder and started crying…
Looking at her crying, Belinda found it ridiculous. She turned her head and said to Theo, who was still on his horse, “Theo, you must not believe this woman! She’s up to no good, just trying to cause trouble and smear Ellinor!”
Theo glanced at Belinda, then looked at Ellinor not far away.
Finally, he looked at Haillie, furrowed his brows, then said to Byran, “Help her.”
